  • The Internet Has Become Too American to Trust

  • Thx. I'll also check out the two writers you mentioned.

  • There's a tendency for "soft-leftists" to co-opt already existing terms in the Marxist canon, de-fang them of any revolutionary rhetoric, repackage them, and market it to the masses. Mark Fisher, Zizek, Naomi Klein, are the major culprits.

  • The Internet Has Become Too American to Trust

    Jump

  • Yes, the best book on this is Yasha Levine - Surveillance Valley . You can find the audiobook on torrents.

    The purpose the the very first DoD networks, was as an anti-communist counter-insurgency tool, mainly to aid in the collection of data and the fight against communists in SE asia, particularly Vietnam.

  • The Internet Has Become Too American to Trust

  • I've found this also. He's a liberal with zero class analysis or materialist literacy. If you've ever read his books, like his main one, enshittification, it reads like a middle-school age baby leftist wrote it.

    It's a testament to the sad state of US and canadian education that he's considered a pioneer in any field.

  • Iran may have used Chinese missile to shoot down U.S. fighter jet, sources say

  • Obligatory US troop copypasta

    You see american choppers in the bright blue sky, hundreds and hundreds of screaming american soldiers drop from it, you look across the field and see the tanks rolling in. You hear a loud explosion and realise that the shrine you have protected for thousands of years with tooth and nail is destroyed by the empire, you come to the realisation that this is very probably the end of your people who’ve struggled to survive all these centuries.You realise that very soon there is going to be a river of blood of your people here; white phosphorus and depleted uranium will be shot very soon, deforming babies for decades to come, and millions of your people are gonna be killed. Your millennia old language and religion will be wiped out, you’re very likely the last of your kind.

    Suddenly, an American soldier kicks you down, puts his foot on your neck and aims his standard ar-15 on the side of your head all while screaming; you realise you’re gonna die, and you won’t have to see the destruction of your community that you fostered so carefully all these centuries for.

    Just before he pulls the trigger, you think to yourself, “To be fair to him, he probably had a low GPA in highschool and didnt have a health-care, those are notoriously hard to get in America”.

  • Can I overclock an android tablet with termux?

  • What's your use case for doing this.

  • DuckDuckGo is growing thanks to Google users frustrated by AI features

    Jump

  • Yep I've found this too. DDG has more SEO / AI slop search results than nearly any other search engine.

  • Passkeys

    Jump

  • Same. They seem great for local apps like keepass, but it could potentially be as dangerous as passwords if using a provider like google.

  • Passkeys

    Jump

  • Too many people (i'd guess over 90% of internet users) don't know about, or use password managers, so their default is to use the same easy to remember password for everything.

    Also webauthn only lets the server see the public key, so servers can't get away with storing unhashed passwords in their db.

  • Passkeys

    Jump

  • Yes you can use your own password manager to store the passkeys. Like keepassxc on android. Then all your devices can use it.

  • what are you reading nowadays that's not crap?

    Jump

  • I've read this one as well. It's not bad, but the three comrades, along with all quiet, are both masterpieces.

  • what are you reading nowadays that's not crap?

  • Noice. I hope to get this sometime.

  • Realistic Star Trek

    Jump

  • Lore being a modern day llm would make a good skit.

  • DuckDuckGo is growing thanks to Google users frustrated by AI features

    Jump

  • DDG is almost all AI slop results now. Even worse than google.

  • A tool of imperialism

  • We're firmly against NATO and the imperialist bloc here.

  • There's a few good chapters on "self-indigenization" in Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz - Not a nation of immigrants.

  • Way too late for that. The best the democrats can muster is a former Abu Ghraib prison guard, who went back to Iraq several times to kill Iraqis, and was proud of it.
