That’s not a constructive approach. Doing nothing just means Republicans completely disasemble what remains of democracy in the US.

Please spread, cross post, share, whatever; wherever you can. People should have input into the democratic policy platform, but they’re so brazen as to say the “center is where we need to be”.

These people, these few hundred people, are a big problem with the democratic party.

We need to take the narrative back from centrists. It can be done by telling the DNC what to do, not the other way around.

yes very true, but please don’t do that, lol. do it here —> !politicalhumor@lemmy.world

nothing like a little digital Swedish death cleaning to free up space

Free beer, like you get a free beer at a party or event, it’s no cost. Free software that costs nothing but is closed source.

Free as in freedom means the user has full access to the source code and is not subject to unknown code like in proprietary software.

Freedom as RMS sees it: https://lemmy.world/post/8134208

I’ve been using SearXNG over Duckduckgo lately. It’s a free (as in freedom) aggregator that searches all the engines. It’s not perfect but you know 100% you are not being tracked.

The results are closer to a true old school search of the web. Sometimes it works better, sometimes not as well. It’s best to pick a local instance that has quicker speeds since the main site can be a bit slower than local ones.

This distributed web stuff is really taking off. I like it!

it’s hit or miss. I’ve tried a few and each seem to have different ups and downs, but mainly just pick a server with the lowest ping.

temporal displacement obviously

I think profit was always the end goal, except for Aaron Swartz. They might not have been incorporated but the intent always seemed like profit.

¯_ (ツ)_/¯ . I consider myself dem soc, I just see the necessity of pragmatism right now; when the alternative is a presidential candidate who reads Mein Kampf as an instruction manual.

because any criticism of Biden right now helps Trump to become president. Save your criticisms when there is an actual open primary (ie: 2027), it’s already too late for a challenge to Biden this year, as a majority of states ballot access filing deadline dates have already passed.

same here, since 2008. Pretty much every user of the site was on the same standard default subreddits. I don’t like what Reddit has become but I don’t blame them like a lot of people here.

Honestly they were a corporation from the get-go, out to make money once it became popular. They built something no one else did.

But going forward, the little reddit escapade from their corporate suite shows that freedom of speech can only thrive when there is no driving profit motive.

clickbait, questionable source, no link provided to study

Great time to buy a cheap used PC for linux

Well not technically yet. LW is still on 0.18.5

No one knows the exact way Facebook will try to destroy the fediverse, but I guarantee you they will try.

It challenges the foundation of their entire companies’ profit model. If they lose total control of the social network they will be out of business as quick as you can say Myspace.

That’s not how EEE works at all. Facebook will embrace Lemmy, extend/improve Lemmy, and then extinguish/disadvantage the native Lemmy community, until the Lemmy server serves so little of a purpose it is shut down.
