TLDR: privacy law won’t pass because it would limit the government’s right to buy “commercially available data” on anyone without a warrant

This includes location data collected from cell phones that are capable in many cases of tracking people’s physical whereabouts almost constantly. The data is purportedly gathered for advertising purposes…

A government that actually cares about privacy wouldn’t be debating ‘should we be able to buy that data’, it would be asking the real question ‘why the fuck is it legal to collect and sell that data?’

Even if we pretend that data will only ever be used for ads, it’s still not fucking OK for advertisers to stalk everyone everywhere 24/7 (and every use other than ad stuff is probably worse)

That’s assuming you’ll meet literally every person on earth

Let’s say you will have a meaningful interaction with 1000 people ever, 1% of that leaves you with 10

If you’re not bi make it 5 before you even start considering wether you also find those people attractive back, if they’re single and in the right age range

So get that confidence back down. Statistics are a bitch

Ouch my bones

It’s a huge luxury to be able to make money off something you love, even more to just be able to do what you love without worrying about money.

Meta has no interest in being part of the fediverse, it only wants to eliminate any posible competition.

The usual MO of buying the competitors isn’t posible on the fediverse, so the way to do it is embrace, extend and extinguish

Defederating is important because is Metastasis is allowed in the fediverse it will consume the fediverse, and then we’ll be right back at the corporate social media we’re trying to break away from, with the surveillance, ads and nazis being welcome as long as it’s profitable

That’s the point of step 2: inspect ass

If you find or smell poopoo obviously don’t proceed to brlbrlelebrbrbr (or do if you’re into that shit who the fuck am I to judge)

On one hand, yeah I wish I wouldn’t have to hear about that piece of garbage ever again, but the mugshot is an exception because this little bit of justice feels like getting a nice bottle of cold water after being lost in a desert for years.

With the way every site is these days, removing adblock is worse than not functioning
