Started with wirebase.org because it’s local, but there was a lot of downtime. Switched to lemmy.sdf.org because they’re also local, but are also a really old group that still hosts Usenet stuff. I’ve recently learned that they have never defederated though, and so I’m considering leaving because I don’t believe in giving a platform to obvious disinformation and hate campaigns.

Right wing is the one that actively and openly hurts people, so yeah I do see a difference tbh

That happened a lot in NY too, I think we called them sticker shops

Well I do intend to ask them to defederate too

Jfc defeate from both, disgusting

Audio still

That sounds like a lot of trouble lol

Sort of. There are colleges within university in the US too, we just don’t usually talk about it

What I meant is, I literally don’t know where you live, so I don’t know why it doesn’t impact you “outside the west”

Idk where you live, but much of the world already lacks privacy

Yes, it does work like that in some cases. My comment is technically wrong, the best kind of wrong.

As another commenter pointed out, the way they intend to do it sounds absolutely like they are going to do it the old way, which surprises me because the hold up a photo thing has been a solved problem for a while.

I’m a software engineer and I work in machine vision hardware. I may have been lazy with my response, but I do know what I’m talking about. On some level I’m probably in a bubble because I work close enough to the cutting edge of things that I wouldn’t expect any modern company to be employing such basic algorithms to a solved problem.

I’m a software engineer and I can confirm that you are absolutely fucking rude on this one.

Maybe 5 years ago, but not (usually) any more

Retirement accounts for myself and people close to me so we can live off the interest. Then probably a bigger house and a bunch of old cars

Lol too bad facial recognition doesn’t work like that

Always makes me wonder if he’s destroying it for Russia or republicans or something

Thing is, the risks of doing nothing have definite consequences that we’ve already been watching. Should we do nothing and let democracy burn in fear that doing something will be abused in the future?

Thanks for existing!

“we’re losing rights” or some people you don’t like are gaining safety? No rights are lost by combatting disinformation. It’s not like someone is just going to go out with a banhammer and say “I disagree so that’s disinformation, you’re banned”
