how technology can help aid in fascism.
One only needs to read the twitter files if they want to see how true fascism is occurring today. We don’t need an obnoxious book.
truth is he’s actually doing something to push back and make us all aware instead of just saying to just be okay with it.
What has he done besides write a poor imitation of 1984?
Maybe Amazon doesn’t carry it because Cory Doctorow is a shitty writer? A mountain and a dishwasher? Why do people read his trash.

Don’t buy products that are clearly anti-consumer and you won’t have issues like this. Of course Apple devices may as well be jewelry at this point. Who even cares if they’re charged? Just nod your head like there’s something going on.
Me personally choosing not to have gender transition surgery is Discrimination?
announcing you don’t want to transition is a completely random and pointless thing to do
We celebrate people transitioning, isn’t it a little bigoted to not also celebrate not? I mean accepting who you are on the inside is what this is all supposed to be about, no matter who you are, isn’t it?
you said you wanted the rules about homophobia and transphobia gone
Nope, not what I said. Read it again.
I said they were enforced arbitrarily, by mods who only hear what they want to hear.
you can be as homophobic and transphobic as you want
Lol see how easily you are triggered? I mentioned nothing about others. I can support trans people to be who they want to be and not desire the same treatment for myself. But all you hear are dog whistles, and that stops all discussion dead. It’s the basis for an echo chamber.
When my personal choices are see as “transphobic” the problem isn’t with me.
Right wing bots. That’s a good one.
Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
As long as these rules are in place and enforced arbitrarily by power tripping mods you’ll only see the woke bubble. Alternate ideas are not allowed. Try talking about any of the taboo subjects and see how quickly the ban hammer falls.
kbin.social is just as bad as reddit ever was. I said that I personally don’t want a transgender transition surgery and they banned me. These are not places where real discussion can happen.
I don’t mind downvotes. But I cannot debate when banned.
And there is no subtlety in the mods behaviour. They ban based on dog whistles that only they can hear.
It’s far better than reddit is but real discussions still aren’t allowed to happen. Before 2016 or so I was still subscribed to /politics because while we didn’t always agree, we could at least discuss. Then in 2016 everyone got TDS and became a fragile child, unable to handle adult topics without banning or reporting. Wrongthink became a reality. And it’s very much a reality here at lemmy.world and other large fediverse instances.
is using a USB ethernet adapter preferable to a wireless access point that is close to my machine?
Almost certainly. Always go wired when possible. Not only will the wired device be faster, there will be more bandwidth available for other devices still using wireless. Wireless is a shared transmission medium you want as few devices using it as possible.
Had a totally custom beanie made at Etsy. See if you can find something similar. They can usually customize it to get a close match to the old one.
Big chefs knife is what I use for pizza. Though having a couple sets of scissors around wouldn’t be a bad idea.
The change happened when we lost all-over body hair.
Oh, I can’t criticize unless I’m an author is it? I can suppose you’ll hold yourself to the same standards for praise then?
'Cause if you can’t know bad without also writing, how can you know good? Otherwise that would be an illogical double standard.
