  • for real, not only is OP a god awful transphobe, but they clearly have shit taste. Emily’s content is the best out of LTT.

    (Not sure how I’m feeling about that channel post allegations, I’m no longer watching it, but Emily’s content quality is indisputable)

  • I would really like to see Spaces added if possible. This app is quite good and would be excellent to recommend seriously as a Discord alternative, with the mainline Element client being substantially slower and clunkier. Spaces support would deliver that.

  • An unethical, evil bastard society that ought to be extinct.

    Unequivocally, death to eugenics.

  • Does anyone know of a trustworthy and curated list of qanon sites that I can use for my pihole(s)?

    Jump

  • yeah, OK, I didn't realize QAnon had outright financial scams out of it. Wow.

    (Found this research on one particular scam - helps put it into perspective. Linking for anyone else who might be unaware)

  • Does anyone know of a trustworthy and curated list of qanon sites that I can use for my pihole(s)?

  • Yeah, that's fair - but I suspect if it is anyone not super elderly, or just anyone not bumbling their way into it unintentionally, they may be more likely to be aware of your actions - and that's bound to create some very nasty conflict that you might be no better off if you get into.

    As the other commenters pointed out though - for certain classes like the elderly, and maybe anyone else not-at-all technically savvy, it might make sense. I'm sorta responding assuming intent of the person to get to QAnon, and assuming they might know enough to find they can access it on other networks but not home.

  • Does anyone know of a trustworthy and curated list of qanon sites that I can use for my pihole(s)?

    Jump

  • Yeah, another commenter made the point of very elderly people, which admittedly I might not have the best perspective on needing to handle. They would probably not notice, and it would probably not create any real issues.

    My reaction was more if you tried to do this to a normal, younger to middle aged person - where I would suspect if the filtering were to come to light, it could create some very nasty conflict. But also in that case I'd suspect anyone trying to reach QAnon material is more likely intentionally trying to get to it, versus some 80-something who might have one Q moron in their Facebook feed that sends them somewhere no one ought to go.

  • Does anyone know of a trustworthy and curated list of qanon sites that I can use for my pihole(s)?

    Jump

  • OK, I guess that's a valid edge case. Still, I'd be wary of how that would really work out - if they were to become aware that you were filtering the internet, I would suspect that could lead to some really bad conflict.

    Though, for the very elderly, yeah they probably wouldn't notice. There's some nuance there I didn't think about.

  • Does anyone know of a trustworthy and curated list of qanon sites that I can use for my pihole(s)?

    Jump

  • I mean, that would be kinda crazy, and I also don't think it would do any good to try and filter them. Like, you've got conspiracy-driven right wingers under your domain - no matter what way you spin it, you're dealing with shitty people. You're either going to bring them to a fever pitch in an argument over you blocking their internet access, or you're going to give them access and have to deal with them perpetuating their harmful views to you and all around them.

    If you're at that point, better to consider whether or not you really want those people in your lives.

    If you're in a situation where you can't cut those people off, what do you expect to achieve other than a different form of conflict by inhibiting their internet access? If you're going to be quiet about doing it and hope they don't understand, is it really healthy to be pulling those strings and manipulating like that? Hell, I'm not even sure it would be ethical, I feel like that kind of manipulation would be really shitty to do, even to shitty people and their shitty views.

    EDIT: I'm of course assuming the adults need "protection" because there's no path to just, like, discussing things healthily. If there's a healthy way to discuss... that should really be the preference.

  • don’t do this unless you’re intending to end your relationship lmao, this would actually be panic inducing.

  • sorry for the potentially dumb remark but… couldn’t you just avoid navigating to QAnon websites? I’ve never had an issue unintentionally navigating to one. It also seems like this repo owner is quite opinionated and trying to create a “no bad sites” filter list, which… honestly, you can control your own destiny with web browsing.

    if this is to protect kids on your network, I think it’s probably a good idea to have a broader conversation with them about evaluating sources, tell them about media bias checking sites, and just generally educating them on red flags to distrust. This will probably serve them much better than trying to block right wing sites, especially since plenty of normal websites have harmful right wing content. YouTube in particular disseminates extremely misleading and harmful material via ads (lots of anti-trans hate speech).

    In any case, I can’t find another repo - if you need the filter still, maybe you could fork the list yourself, and remove anything that you don’t find objectionable? (again, I feel like this is an example of why to not rely on a third party to block websites based off opinion/politics)

  • Keep in mind there’s everyone not in tech. Loads of people probably use their iPhone and MacBooks, or windows and android, or some other combo - might never even look up a single Linux distro, or think about what servers are.

  • Control center via the side button has been persistently frustrating to get used to. Feeling like a boomer (in my 20s?!) but I consistently swipe up, get to the useless screen below the face, curse at my watch, and then hit the side button to open control center.

    Every. Single. Time.

    And I’ve been using this since the betas started.

  • Elon Musk Suggests He Will Charge All X/Twitter Users a Fee to Be on the Platform

    Jump

  • So I mean, if this was in lieu of data collection and tracking, this is what more of the software world should actually do. Running platforms isn’t free, and making the user the product is a malicious and unsustainable solution.

    That said, I certainly wouldn’t pay Twitter - I think I’d rather donate to a Mastodon instance, or pay for some other private alternative. Musk is awful for so many reasons, holds way too much power, and deserves no money of mine.

  • Unity Bosses Sold Stock Ahead Of Scummy Dev Fees Announcement

    Jump

  • Going by this commenter this seems like a nothing burger.

    Obviously, fuck this CEO for all he’s having occur to Unity, but the stock sale doesn’t ultimately seem that important or relevant.

  • Unity Bosses Sold Stock Ahead Of Scummy Dev Fees Announcement

    Jump

  • I’m not really sure what to make of this - I’ve been hearing people both bring up that he sold stock in isolation, and I’ve heard others say this is part of a routine pre-planned stock sale. Presuming he’s not performing obvious inside trading, I imagine it’s the latter.

    I know capitalism bad and unity CEO bad, but is there actually anything to this? If not, why does this keep getting brought up? (I mean this as an actual question, not loaded)

  • Resident Evil 4 remake is coming to the iPhone 15 Pro / Resident Evil Village, Death Stranding, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage are also coming to the phone

  • Death Stranding is super interesting to see. Hope this marks a new era of decent mobile ports.

  • You can connect up a controller + mount your phone to the controller - may not appeal to someone with a Steam Deck or similar, but I could see the appeal for normal people who wouldn’t have that.
