@nf3xn @aadeacon @AlexGallagher desperate, dissilusioned people will more easily be manipulated, they are more likely to fall for simple lies, it doesn't make them idiots, we humans are easily isolated and manipulated in our digital swamp

@aadeacon @nf3xn @AlexGallagher the rope only works if people understand fascism. a lot of people are too poor to hear anything complex, if you cant pay the rent or buy enough food, any change at all sounds better that what youve got now sadly

@vfrmedia @HarriettMB @AlexGallagher the other idiot Rupert Lowe launched his own fashy twat party and has the same stupid idea

@ZenHeathen @Natasha_Jay the thing is, there is no change-over "period" once you use this daily, your org begins lose its institutional memory

@apps @julian maybe there is a third way here, perhaps a lot of users dont actually know about that flag, or that its only going to be ignored, not respected, by those wishing to do harm anyway, perhaps a bot account that reminds people to take care with what they post if it contains stuff like photos with location data?

Not content with helping to fuck us all by supporting #Brexit the sticky crap pub chain now is going #Ghestapo on Guide dogs.

@_L1vY_ @alice this is really interesting to hear from my UK perspective, ive been a software engineer for 20 years, there hasnt been a high proportion of non-white-male enginers throughout my career, all of the women ive encountered have been better leaders, designers and programmers overall.

@benjamincox @alice all those "big picture" people who dont want to be bothered with pesky things like reality

@Nershelam @vkc @sashin its a complex problem , the bad actors can often simply be multiple automated accounts, or disposable accounts. perhaps a system where new or long-term inactive accounts are rate limited. the real problems kick in when someone manages to figure out how to maliciously use a blocking system

@Shadow_Glider @vkc @McNeely i do wonder if its more costly to manage federated or honepot blocking than the bad actors just creating more accounts

@vkc @sashin i wonder if fedi has a community block list feature

What the actuall #mozilla fuck? https://www.cnbc.com/2026/01/27/mozilla-building-an-ai-rebel-alliance-to-take-on-openai-anthropic-.html

They want to piss away $1.4bn on an AI project??? Holy shit if they have $1.4bn then OMFG that could sustain good, free and fair mozilla for many decades JFC

@Brokebattery you are clearly a fascist shitbag, get lost

@Brokebattery@mastodon.social because it was flawed and had ridiculous unrelated things added to it, it was designed to be rejected for headlines

@Brokebattery @TCatInReality @randahl 90 years ago, most European people were "undocumented" nobody had passports, documents were impossible to centrally check of verify. If the Nazis could have done so, theyd have used "Undocumented" as a defining mark of the enemy within

@Brokebattery@mastodon.social @TCatInReality @randahl your comment is just trying to equate "undocumented" with "violent drug gang rapist". Which is openly a fascist playbook.

@Brokebattery @TCatInReality @randahl that sounds a lot like MAGA bullshit, immigration is a manufactured issue to ferment dustrust. Dont forget Trump ordered the Republican party to not vote for a bipartisan border deal that they were about to pass, simply because he wanted to do all this chaos and division.

@Brokebattery @eq @TCatInReality @joaocosta @randahl the fact is, that up until now, US supported world order worked well for NATO and EU, yes, there were problems of exceptionalism, particularly with Guantanamo Bay and Afghanistan etc, but it worked because the support and foundations were provided by the US, and that the US hugely benefits from it, only a madman would throw it away overnight. Europe and NATO were planning on the false assumption that a madman would not gain absolute power

@randahl thier entire direction is to draw a line where on one side of that line, nobody is entitled to lead, vote, justice or other rights.

@b0rk sqlite is brilliant! I didn't understand why more people don't use it until I realized that with #flask, using the builtin sqlite in #python that it doesn't support threading and concurrency properly!
