I don't know why she would be responsible for changing anything in Iran?

She made a statement to highlight the atrocities in a terrible country and it put her in the crosshairs. This is the same thing as putting on your oxygen mask before you help others while on a plane.

It did die, like back in November I think. We're at the point where the zombie like corpse has fallen over and horsehair worms started emerging. ๐Ÿคฎ

How do you "de-google" when most websites expect most browsers to use chromium and start requiring this to ensure ~~companies buying ad space get the best bang for their buck~~ security?

I think it was always the same psychology of making a number go up makes people get dopamine or something. Otherwise, it was a system to try and filter out bots used for astroturfing that I felt didn't really do a good job. There were always plenty of karma farming bots that would literally just copy and paste a different comment to create a fake post history.

Yeah I don't understand why that drag queen had to resort to victim blaming.

Same as reddit, same as Facebook, same and Twitter. It's the same as any website. Anything you post is most certainly getting scraped to create a profile on you. Whether that is for nefarious purposes for just to better serve you ads is irrelevant.

There is no privacy to anything you post on the internet to public forums.

Just look at the effort that went into making "work from home" viable back in 2020. The fediverse is not a unique case of being a "privacy nightmare".

For fun, try to "dox yourself" by searching on Google from a different IP and computer from what you normally use for your name, usernames, etc. to see what information is freely available to the public.

tldr: practice good opsec!

I feel like there are more actual people (humans) here on Lemmy/Kbin, as opposed to reddit which seems to be full of low effort posters and bots.

I think Southpark did this so Catman wouldn't have to wait to play a Nintendo Wii.

Is this the one where they need to be legally dead before they can be frozen so they're really just selling naive people a fantasy?

Edit: yes it is...lmao

It makes for a good case study looking forward, which hopefully will save lives from people attempting the same thing. Additionally, you already know folks in the aviation world wrote the pilot checklists in blood. It's an unfortunate fact that souls have to be lost before a regulation or rule gets put into place to prevent it from happening in that exact way again, but this is part of why flying is so safe these days!
