surveillance capitalism amid artificial scarcity seems like a cruel joke. hey check out how much labor we can manage to throw into expanding the police state, haha. we could end poverty, eliminate hunger, house everyone, but the objective we picked instead is *watching you*? you must be kidding.

Siri tell Bixby to ask Alexa if Ok Google can tell Cortana to get the guy across the street to stop whistling

Distributed internet without being beholden to single, powerful entities is possible with the technology of today. You don't need new magic elixirs to fix this

There just needs to be motivation to adopt it. Federated social media, like Mastodon, is a step in the right direction, but there needs to be more work done at the infrastructure level

The authoritarian regimes are scrambling to ban the tools of anonymity (VPN, Tor etc...)

All the more reason to resist similar legislation at home. Here, it's a different culture so they'll use throttling and other "passive" motivators to willingly elicit compliance without actually calling it what it is: A prelude censorship

This is part of why Net Neutrality was so feared here. Not only could they make more money, they can sink their fangs deeper into the privacy of the average citizen

Im AJZ (autonomes jugendzentrum in erfurt) wurde von der Polizei verwuestet.
Nach dem ~2 Nazis im AJZ auftauchten gab's Stress und die Polizei wurde gerufen. Die Polizei die ankam 'sicherte' das Gebaeude. Genutzt wurden unter anderm ein Rammbock. Die Verwendung von Schluesseln wurde trotz Angebot von den Betroffenen boycotiert.
Waehrend der Durchsuchung durfte niemand das Gebaeude betreten.
Nach der Verwuestungsaktion sind sie wieder abgezogen. Zahlen soll wohl die Partei die den Streit began

can i just say that i love the new mastodon icon

it resembles an elephant, a sleeping cat AND a clenched fist ready to take down the bourgeoisie

Was ist den aktuell ein guter E-Book Reader auf dem eins frei mit den Dateien hantieren kann. Tolino? #followerpower #auchaufmastodon
