TORFdot0 , to technology in YouTube can't stop showing me AI deepfake ads

Shoot, I didn’t even consider Google purposefully allowing scam and malicious advertisements as a means to sell YT premium

We are on the fediverse, why not peertube?

TORFdot0 , to technology in YouTube can't stop showing me AI deepfake ads

I ended up uninstalling the official iOS app and went to the browser with vinegar. I kept reporting these scam ads and YouTube doesn’t bother removing them. Google doesn’t care if their users are scammed because the users aren’t their customers

TORFdot0 , to asklemmy in Why do Lemmy users rarely use emoticons?

Emojis really don’t have a use outside of shitpost communities. I very rarely will use them here on Lemmy

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in To defederate or not defederate: user-based vs. server-based content filtering in the fediverse

Sorry buddy it’s too late; you are an anarchy pirate now which means your argument is invalid. Sorry that happened to you bro

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in The Fediverse is working just as intended.

If the majority of users on Lemmy.world does not want to be federated with meta then Lemmy.world will lose those users and then no longer be the power they currently are with influence over the fediverse.

Also I believe it’s disingenuous to equate explodingheads, which was defederated for being extremely toxic due to its lack of moderation and meta which presumably has more resources to devote to moderation than any fedi instance (of course they are still terrible at it)

I’m for defederating with meta when the time comes because I don’t think that their influence is healthy for the fediverse and don’t think that most admins could handle the burdens that would come with federating with them. Lemmy.world (and mastodon.social and a few others) is a big enough instance that they could handle those challenges. I’ve said before that if meta only sticks to the open source AP spec then the risks are much less and so that should be the criteria for federation

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in The Fediverse is working just as intended.

Just because Lemmy.world doesn’t agree with about defederating with meta doesn’t make them sell outs. Like you said, you are jumping ship; just like the fediverse intended.

For better or worse, Lemmy.world is intended to be a catch all instance for normies so it makes sense why they would not defederate from meta.

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in Why is the "Technology" community icon broken?

Lemmy World just upgraded the pictrs backend so probably a good chance the logo got lost in the db migration

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in Lemmy.world Should Defederate with Threads

Unless threads implements the full activitypub spec then everyone should be defederated from meta. There is a fine line for meta to walk to not harm the fediverse. Lemmy World is one of the few instances that can handle it. But meta should not be allowed to be a guiding voice in the direction of the fediverse at all

TORFdot0 , to gaming in I banned my kid from Roblox.... what next?

Kids also have different attitudes on what constitutes value to them. So while parents see robux as total ripoff, kids don’t have the experience of playing a game and receiving the whole thing and not being expected to pay real money to skip the hard parts.

Kids aren’t the only ones who waste their money on frivolous gaming transactions though. Millions of adults by battlepasses for games or we wouldn’t have that crap in games either.

TORFdot0 , to technology in Thousands of private camera footages from bedrooms hacked, sold online - VnExpress International

I’m assuming they are in young children’s bedrooms. There’s only one reason to put a camera in an adult’s bedroom ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

TORFdot0 , to technology in Jeff Bezos plays down AI dangers and says a trillion humans could live in huge cylindrical space stations

How are you supposed to have agriculture in a giant tin can in space?

TORFdot0 , to retrogaming in Do any of y'all know where I can get a retro box?

A shield gives you access to GeForceNow, Moonlight, as well as streaming services for only about $100 more. Retropi is fine for a single purpose device though. Emulation Station is a much better front end than retroarch

TORFdot0 , to fediverse in Dear server admins, please defederate threads.net. Dear users, ask your server admin to defederate threads.net.

You are free to make your own Mastodon/Lemmy instance and federate with them. Being able to block instances is user choice which absolutely IS the point of ActivityPub. There is no one entity that says you must federate or must defederate.
