infosec.pub? lemmy.cafe?
Perhaps even dbzer0?

Not sure this is helpful, but:
My main issue with the reddit fuckcars is that there was wayyy to much like low quality complaining posts that got big but no one was posting the statistics and academic side of things which I think is just as interesting and convincing. So I did a couple things to try and encourage more people to post that.
On the other hand, that doesn’t seem to be a problem on lemmy, since we’re all nerds…
In my political activism and messaging though, what I did realise was it was helpful to be more vocal about accessibility for disabled people. The disabled people I talked to kind of felt like pawns in the “car debate”. Like the pro-cars people woulf use disabled people as an argument to keep cars but offer no alternative to disabled people who can’t drive. While fuck-cars allies often use disabled people who can’t drive as an argument but fail to properly fight for accessibility in urbanism. (Like seem to idealise european planning which if often terrible for disabled people — lots of stairs without ramps, many trams/trains arent wheelchair accessible, disabled people who can only move by car fail to access things on pedestrianised streets because there is no disability exception/parking nearby.)
Anyways. I found I was able to get quite a bit of a following of people who typically don’t like the fuck cars movement on microblogging platforms by being fuck cars, without alienating an entire demographic of people by not considering their needs seriously.
I’m sorry. Somewhat related experience:
As a disabled person who is physically unable to do a lot of things. The advances in AI are pretty cool in that I can do stuff I never had the capacity for before.
But people seem to reflexively demonise anything to do with AI to the point I’m shamed out of even using it as an accessibility tool. It sucks. Sometimes feels like a sort of “moral panic” just like we had back when TV or the internet or dungeons and dragons got big.
And if downvotes bother you, that’s okay. There are plenty of instances that don’t show it, say lemmy.blahaj.zone.
Also, on some UI’s you can disable it even on instances that show it.
Just to save people a rabbithole.
Kagi is pretty cool. But it’s not free. And for most people who don’t have much disposable income it’s not really a justifiable expense to pay for a search engine.
It’s so annoying how ridiculously terrible science journalism is. Like weirdly enough it’s probably more clickbait than celebrity tabloids.
It’s ridiculous how it has improved literally everything.
Like I’m a hardcore fuck cars person. I mean I used to mod that subreddit until the blackouts, I helped popularise the fuck cars movement, and even I didn’t expect this to be such a success.
Nah. I’m all for free movement. If it was upto me we’d abolish made up lines like borders and let people live wherever they want.
They hey difference is humans are aware of what they know and don’t know
If this were true, the world would be a far far far better place.
Humans gobble up all sorts of nonsense because they “learnt” it. Same for LLMs.
They all kind of look like dickheads ngl. Like that annoying kid who always breaks boundaries.
(ie. they all look very full of themselves — I guess that’s how you become a leader…)
Lmao. When I lived in Austria I remember I chilled with a friend and he let me take a couple sips from his Beer.
The next day he asked me to wire him 0.3 euro for half the beer 😭.
I just told him next beer is on me.

It’s seriously so bad. I have a friend who’se family earns a lot of money. Like both his parents work in academia.
And none of the banks would even let them take out a morgtage to buy a modest appartment. It’s ridiculous.
Rentierism is theft.
an economic system in which a large share of wealth and income is generated not by producing goods or services, but by owning assets and charging others to use them. These assets might include:
To be fair, as a human, I don’t feel any different.
Well… I don’t live in the US. I live in Europe.
Labour, Democrats, Liberals (Canada), Labour (Australia) etc. They are all parties of the neoliberal elite. They may fly rainbow flags and occasionally add small welfare, but they ultimately answer to corporate doners.
Wow that looks productive. I’m assuming you can’t share the methodology for linking these accounts to help combat this stuff but I’m very curious if that isn’t an issue.
