Eh I’ll stay away from Xitter.

You will have your tor-connected 1024x768 anonymous window and you will like it!

That’s really funny and really sad at the same time.

Most Canadians know all US states, and I’m fairly certain I can match 95% of state postal abbreviations to their corresponding state (save for the ones starting with M, good luck lol). I’d like to see Americans try to put the huge landmass that is Manitoba (MB) on a map 😄

I don’t think I’ve ever been confused between what’s Mexico and what’s USA, and I feel like uneducated racist people may just be going off of the name, like Nevada / Arizona being spanish names and New Mexico referencing Mexico.

Oh yeah no it’s a big, fat hint haha

My first thought for some reason was “northern Manitoba” lol

Gotta preach where the choir is.

“Oil tanker spills 60,000 tons of crude into the Pacific after hull biodegrades, more at 6”

Honestly this would most likely work very well as advertising, and generate a lot of free publicity around the unconventionality of it all.

Absolutely, and being repeatedly reminded to get your COVID or measles shots is “positive” propaganda. Herd immunity is objectively a good thing, but any sort of PSA is propaganda. (please get your shots)

It’s like the word “consequence”, people always think consequences are always bad, when you could say “I got rich as a consequence of winning the lottery”, or, re-worded, “I won the lottery, and consequently, I became rich”.

Bref, if you are not immune to positive propaganda, you are also not immune to negative propaganda.

It is definitely propaganda against propaganda, everything is propaganda.

There’s “good” propaganda and “bad” propaganda, and whether you think any propaganda is “good” or "bad’ is propaganda in itself just by sharing such an opinion.

I’m not talking about this website specifically, a lot of sites ask for way too much info.

I just click away when I see a login wall, regardless of requirements. If I really want to read it, I use 12ft.io or similar.

Edit: Here’s a wall-less link: https://archive.ph/mFHH8 I really don’t feel like setting up an alt email address just to read a single article.

Indeed it is, but I’m concerned about the above, and thus don’t create user accounts willy nilly.

I could use a fake name and fake email, but a lot of sites require that you validate your phone number too, and it’s starting to become a lot of commodifiable data points.

Trust me, I get the feeling.

I’m only arguing from a legal standpoint, where it’s more appropriate to have CC0.

CC0 = Everyone owns it, no one can claim rights to it

Copyleft = No one owns it, the code owns itself and claims rights to itself

Since everyone paid for it, everyone owns it.

If no one paid for it, or if a single owning entity is feeling benevolent, then copyleft is appropriate.

I assume it would be difficult to get the consent of every US taxpayer to license this as copyleft, I believe CC0 (or proprietary, unfortunately) is the rightful default when in this situation. It’s debatable whether any government code should be proprietary, save for deployment secrets.

It’s generally for user data collection / sale and adding you to their marketing list.

Seems correct to me. It was paid for by the US public, using US public funds, it belongs in the public domain.

I also wish they had GPL’d it, but I’m not sure this would be appropriate here.

I want my get-off pocket >:(

With Matrix’s CSAM and gore spam issues, I’ve been thinking about IRC more and more tbh.

Know that this may not be the safest solution, as you won’t have accessible track controls directly from the head unit, so you’ll have to be distracted if you want to pause or change tracks.

You are better off with a flash drive.
