100%. I watched a video on TFE where there was a minister guy saying the Earth is flat because the bible says so and that any evidence to the contrary is manufactured by (literally) Satan and the US government and that they may not be able to prove it one way or the other, but they have to have faith in the word of God.
There’s literally nothing you can say to that.
I’m not going to spend more time on this today, but to be clear, I don’t think you’re a bad person or my enemy or your heart is in the wrong place. Just that this strategy is in a very counterproductive direction. <3
Let me take you one further: as long as we continue supporting the Democratic party at all, we will never have representatives that care for us.
I actually strongly disagree and think this is a super counter productive (and even dangerous) perspective. We need to change the two party system, I absolutely agree, but the political machinery in this country is basically engineered to create a two party system and abandoning the Dems is abandoning your seat at the table. Do I want to rebuild that machinery? Yes. Absolutely. Should we smash it and replace it with something better? 100%. Can we actually accomplish that by abandoning Dems? Not realistically. It’s a pipe dream.
All what you’re advocating for will accomplish, with the current balance of things as they are, is the further empowerment of Republicans. You’re like those Muslims that refused to vote for Kamala over Palestine and now Trump is giving Netanyahu all the guns he wants and talking about annexing Gaza. Those voters hold some responsibility for that outcome, as do people who speak as you do.
I’m not going to spend a bunch of time and energy arguing about this right now. I’ve said my piece (and doubt I’m going to change your mind, but this perspective needs to be responded to). Just abandoning the Dems is abandoning ANY meaningful seat you had at the political table for the sake of making a what amounts to an impotent and empty statement at the end of the day. HATING that fact to the point of not being able to process it or engage with it doesn’t make it not true.
They know it’s bad, and stupid and insane. But it’s not really directly impacting anyone that they know, or their standard of living. Yeah it might impact their businesses, but it’s not going to put most of them out of business. And the effects of destroying all of these government services haven’t even begun to be felt.
So they just can’t relate to it has anything other than some annoying chaos that will all pass and things will get back to normal. And in the meantime all these young progressives want to make things even more chaotic! How is this helping? If you want to change things, go to your local Congress person’s fundraiser dinner like a normal person.
“Yeah, bad things are happening to people, who aren’t me or my friends, isn’t that a shame? Isn’t that just dreadful? This is all such insanity! Oh well, The Judsons invited us to their lake this weekend. Do you want to come? Your sister will be there.”

I read a really good article recently about how people from different generations process information differently and so their UI preferences are wildly different.
The gist of it was
As a result, each of these people will prefer to interact with vastly different UX.
Of course these aren’t hard and fast rules, set in stone and there are tons of exceptions, but it’s a definite trend.
The Lemmy demographic skews hard to the older Millennial / Gen X demographic and is mostly people who were on reddit 15+ years ago. It’s UI appeals to those people.
If I had a dollar for everything important the media “fails to inform” about in America,I could single-handedly stimulate the American economy,
Are they complying with any of these rulings?

Why are we even giving her attention?
I’m actually doing two classes on alternating weeks, but they’re both
“Here’s basic opsec principles and now we’ll talk about a bunch of tools that are useful specifically for activism in (against) the current political climate.”
I’m doing a basic class where we’ll just try to help people organize in safer ways (Telegram is like the number one organizational platform right now). One of our goals there is to try to set specific projects / organizations up with dedicated Matrix servers and help them get non-technical people to use them.
We’re also doing a more advanced class where we want to help people set up their own hardened laptops and (for those able to secure the hardware) GrapheneOS phones. That will probably be like Unit 2 of that class. We want to start with threat modeling and help people figure out the tools they specifically need to do their work.
UPDATE:
I’ve had a chance to read through it.
Overall: Great resource and very timely. Thank you.
I would add, that if you’re planning to make a lot of use of tor, and run tor hidden services locally, syncing the Monero block chain over tor (possibly to multiple local machines) and solo mining on old slow computers is a great way to generate a bunch of random tor traffic.
I’ll read through this. I’m teaching a free class on cybersec / opsec to members of local activist organizations starting next month, so resources like this are potentially really useful.
DOGE and the Trump administration are openly ignoring court orders. That potentially means no one has ANY rights unless the administration decides to honor them.
GALACTUS!!
Pretty, but
Can’t even get dinosaur hands right.
People on Reddit (and Lemmy too, after it started on reddit) were trash talking the protest plans yesterday, saying they were poorly organized and “people should sit this one out.” My wife went anyway (I had work stuff I needed to do). Based on what we saw today… I wonder if that wasn’t some deliberate misinformation shit that got started on Reddit and went a little viral.
Tokyo police bust alleged prostitution ring targeting tourists Police harass, arrest and fine sex workers while politicians complain that the sex industry exists.
FTFY.
This isn’t a problem with Lemmy, it’s a problem with clicking on links in general. Most top search engine results anymore are crappy content mills serving who knows what ad network ads that may contain who knows what malware. You’re probably way LESS likely, by an order of magnitude, to get something malicious from any given random Lemmy link than you are from any given random search engine result.
You can’t do due diligence on every link you click on. That’s absurd (at least for most people). The best thing you can do is make sure you have a reasonably hardened browser and reasonably secure operating system.
How hardened? How secure? Depends on your threat model.
