  • More users will hopefully mean more people finding and reporting edge cases which will lead to better software. Open source is great because anyone can improve it and everyone has the changes if accepted by the developers.

  • Spoiler alert:

    He already crawled back.

    Never give any of Elon Musk's companies a dime or your time. Twitter is the worst one I think especially because Grok is now trained to repeat right-wing nonsense. I hope no one here is still on Twitter and I hope everyone you know in your personal life is also off that horrible website. If you know someone still using it tell them to switch to an alternative like Bluesky or Mastodon.

  • Where can I find DNS denylists for Musk, Trump-owned businesses?

    Jump

  • I tried researching this and wasn't able to find an exact match for your question.

    However I can say blocking hate websites and fake news websites helps stop Trump because it's part of his pillars of support for power.

    I think the best one I found so far is this which seems well maintained and current: https://github.com/sefinek/Sefinek-Blocklist-Collection it has a hate category and a fake news category.

    Then you can supplement the lists and block the main Trump and Musk websites by searching for Donald Trump for Trump's websites and block the SpaceX, Twitter, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring Company websites.

    The first one I found when searching for this was this blocklist which targets hate websites, propaganda websites and "alt-tech" websites (meaning things like far-right social media) but it's a little old. It seems they used some kind of automated method to find subdomain names. I don't know where they would have got this:

     
        
0.0.0.0 5iisjztgyz.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org
0.0.0.0 5x0eggbvlm.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org
0.0.0.0 6hwzzfs2iy.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org

    To be fair the domain name is a hate website, it's just the subdomain part is of course useless here.

    I haven't closely reviewed the domain names on these lists but a quick glance of these lists makes me think it's overall pretty accurate. If you encounter a website you cannot visit you can always unblock it and create an issue on Github.

  • Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads Per Hour

    Jump

  • Amazon funded Trump's inauguration, they've doubled their advertisements, they mistreat their warehouse workers, for people who don't use Amazon often you're paying more money than you'd spend on just paying for shipping on the occasion you need fast shipping or if you don't need fast shipping you can still get free shipping if your order is more than the threshold which I think depends on your account might be $25 or $35.

    Given all these things I really hope no one is subscribing to Amazon prime. I'd highly recommend anyone who uses Amazon prime to cancel it. Being shown advertisements on something you're paying for is insane. This should be the final straw for any Amazon Prime customer.

  • Supreme Court rejects Trump’s bid to delay sentencing in his New York hush money case

  • There is hope. If you read the polls section of the article you will notice that the ruling was very unpopular among people of both parties (among common people, of course I feel that Republicans in office don't agree with their constituents). I think now is the time for a strong campaign fiance reform push. If we can't get it done at the federal level we shall try the state level.

  • analysts expect minimal financial impact on Meta

    Let's make the analysts wrong and boycott Meta products. Quit Facebook, Instagram and Threads.

    There's a common saying; If 9 people sit down at a table with 1 Nazi without protest, there are 10 Nazis at the table. The people at Meta are like the 9 people, they pretend to act ignorant but they know exactly what they are doing. They care more about profits than they care about the country so we must make it so they loose big from this decision.

Musk is going to be a major funder of the GOP so ending his propaganda megaphone and wealth could change the course of events.

  • The first term wasn't fine. Some of Trump's "accomplishments" include raising the national debt significantly despite being part of a party that constantly claims they will deal with it, and poor actions which results in many deaths in the US during the pandemic. He also had secret conversations with Putin and may have transferred our secrets to Russia. Also he told the big lie and supported storming the capitol during J6.

    Here's a non inclusive list of some the scandals during Trump's first term: https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/antisemitism-alphabetical-guide-trump-s-worst-moments-n1245795

    The only reason his first term wasn't even worse was because people stopped him. Now there are going to be less people to stop him. That's why we must stay strong and vigilant and work towards getting as many Democrats elected locally in 2025 and nationally in 2026.

  • I totally get what you mean. If we can educate people it would be more powerful than just blocking it. But for some people maybe it's hard to educate them. It's for sure a complex issue.

  • This is fascinating to me because it might be evidence that China is promoting right wing content to undermine America. I've never used WeChat before but I know the app has a "news" feature. Is WeChat linking to external domains/IP addresses? I'm curious what kind of right wing propaganda are they seeing? Who is making it? Is it in English or Chinese or a combination?

    If you cannot deal with the problem by network filtering and blocking these strategies might be helpful: https://old.reddit.com/r/QAnonCasualties/wiki/index/good_posts

    Also I will mention with other social media websites I've read about people using the not interested in this content (or similar wording) button and unfollowing right wing news sources and then following people who make positive content.
