mojo,

hopefully the one I’m on, lemm.ee

mojo,

That random dude never owned the username, nor was he remotely noteworthy in any way. Twitter took it because Twitter owns their own site. Nothing is wrong here. Just like how my instance owner has the total right to do whatever they like to my account, including changing my username.

mojo,

Why did this person deserve the @x handle? Just because they claimed it day 1, they’re morally entitled to it?

mojo,

I like the name removed by mod too lol

mojo,

…then elaborate how that works.

mojo,

I think we agree legally it’s fine, but I still disagree and think it’s ethically fine. Companies realize putting their point of contacts on third party services is risky and should be mitigating that.

Like a company should have their own email domain rather then Gmail. There are things you can digitally own, like the domain name itself because you purchase it and then have a contract with it.

If Twitter acted as a service where you buy your profile and make an agreement, that would be unethical at that point, and also illegal. Twitter users shouldn’t be under the impression they perpetually own their account handle, they haven’t paid anything and simply claimed it through a signup or username change. That’s not comparable to say, buying a domain, where that would be extremely unethical and pretty sure illegal. Also impersonation is bit of a funny topic to bring up with Twitter right now lol, considering how messed up the verification is.

I would agree with you if social media services were treated as like a utility and usernames were contracted as such. Which I actually do wish was a thing, it’d be a much healthier ecosystem with much stronger protections. But that’s a different topic.

mojo,

I live in America, my country was founded by breaking that rule, kiddo.

mojo,

I just don’t understand where this expectation that accounts are owned are coming from. There’s no language anywhere in the signup that implies this, nor is it the case for any other website. I don’t know where this expectation is coming from.

mojo,

That metaphor makes no sense here

mojo,

what are you even talking about

mojo,

Definitely not what happened lol. Like a few people tried to protest and were quickly overrun by redditors batchesting over their favorite reddit communities.

They really showed spez, by giving them traffic and engagements to boost their IPO value! Gottem! We did it Reddit!

Starlink has become the 'blood' of Ukraine's communication infrastructure, but officials are reportedly growing concerned about relying on Elon Musk's tech (www.businessinsider.com)

Ukraine’s digital minister has reported concerns about the country’s overreliance on Elon Musk’s Starlink satellite internet system amid the war with Russia, The New York Times reports.

mojo,

They’re right to. He might start cutting service off to those who express the rights over their own body.

mojo,

Lol what

mojo,

Not wrong lol, it’s a gamer chat. It tried to rebrand as a regular chat app, but the entire gamer aesthetic says otherwise.

mojo,

This has already existed for a long time now

mojo,

You mean it’s built in now. It still has objectively existed for a long time now. There has been an app called AirGuard around for a long time. Also not every Android has play services. There’s a large degoogled operating system community now.

mojo,

opens trenchcoat hey, I got some of those copy & pasted nft pics for cheap. you in?

mojo,

this had me deadass laughin fr fr no cap

mojo,

This is a strategy I’ve developed to stop myself from mindlessly scrolling. Opening my phone and opening an app is basically an automated physical response like walking at this point, I don’t think about it. It even is an automatic stress response to pull out your phone to hide from the world when you get anxious.

I found it helps to make your more intrusive apps harder to get to, even something as simple as removing TikTok from your home screen so you have to do that extra step of pulling it up from your app drawer to get to.

In combination with that, I try to catch myself mindlessly scrolling and stop and think, “what am I trying to do right now?” Often the answer is nothing, it’s mindless. That helps me pull myself out of automation mode to stop.

mojo,

Because that is what human beings do. It’s normal and natural, and everybody has unconscious habits to cope. You are no different, and neither is anybody else. Just the habits may change.

mojo,

They are a middle man between my bank and the store in purchasing from, nothing more. They shouldn’t stop anything unless it’s theft.

mojo,

Yes, because the same argument can be said with virtually any other website ever that gets cached. Does GDPR no longer exist because InternetArchive, or Google caches your data? When data leaves your server, it’s simply out of your hands, and it’s impossible to prevent in the current state of the web.

mojo,

What, redesign the entire internet? Let me know if you’re the first one to invent a way to stop data scraping and caching lmao. That is by design of the internet.

mojo,

He’s an idiot, but there is literally nothing wrong with this. You don’t own a username, and you aren’t entitled to it.

mojo,

He has long list of terrible shit he’s done, but this is literally nothing lol

People acting like he stole someone’s property. He changed the username of some random squatter on his own personal website.

Which also there’s a huge underground communities who hack, trade, and sell these “rare” usernames. So no doubt it was owned by some squatter or someone who obtained it through malicious means.

mojo,

It’s not stealing. He owns the website. It literally is his personal website. Tf are you guys smoking. Usernames are not property. The entitlement here is ridiculous and just objectively wrong.

mojo,

Where is the part where that matters in the slightest. Still a username on a live service that is subject to change at any time, and there has never been an expectation of ownership.

mojo,

Why is he not in jail

mojo,

+1 for feeder. A really nice feature it has it it’s reader mode. Basically fetches the webpage for you and strips it down to pure html and gives a pleasant reading experience without any javascript stuff, because we know everyone loveees auto playing videos that scrolls with the page. Kind of like a reader mode in a browser, but within the app itself.

mojo,

Would rather just not talk about it

mojo,

What is “it”? I don’t know what we’re talking about here :)

what are .webp files and why has my online experience been plagued by them?

I don’t know what a .webp file is but I don’t like it. They’re like a filthy prank version of the image/gif you’re looking for. They make you jump through all these hoops to find the original versions of the files that you can actually do anything with....

mojo,

Newer and better format then PNG/gif/etc. The downside is that not all image viewers or file explorers support it yet, though it’s not exactly new either.

mojo,

Surprised they haven’t sprinkled in some of that “think of the children!” propaganda yet.

mojo,

Lol I like how this post somehow has negative one downvote

FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users (www.eff.org)

**Synopsis:**The article discusses the FBI’s seizure of the Mastodon server and emphasizes the need for privacy protection in decentralized platforms like the Fediverse. It calls for hosts to implement basic security measures, adopt policies to protect users, and notify them of law enforcement actions. Users are encouraged to...

mojo,

No it’s not, stop posting this sensational bullshit. Or did you guys forget websites and http are also decentralized with the same issues?

mojo,

Lol tf is this absolute trash. It has every red flag in the book. First off, a wait-list, wtf? It’s closed source obviously, which immediately means it’s privacy invasive and anti freedom. It’s Apple only, which how did they absolutely fuck that up when it’s just a reskinned chromium which already did all the cross platform work for them? Who is this browser for? What can it do that Firefox + extensions cannot do? And lastly, why would you support internet monopolies and support the 1 millionth generic chromium reskin? What complete garbage of software.

mojo,

Yup, anti freedom, and also closed source so extremely privacy invasive as well.

mojo,

That’s why they target Apple users. They don’t understand what closed source means, nor care. They just want flashy new thing.

mojo,

That’s not safari

mojo,

The same people who are mad at Meta for scraping already public information, are now mad at Microsoft for not forcing themselves into the fedi to scan all private and public content? Consistent view points are hard!

mojo,

Did anyone actually care about the last place image after like a week it ended?

mojo,

Nothing you can do except go after server owners like usual. Has nothing to do with the fedi. Mastodon has nothing to do with either because anyone can pop up their own alternative server. This is one of many protocols they have or will use to distribute this stuff.

This just in: criminals are using the TCP protocol to distribute CP!!! What can the internet do to stop this? Oh yeah, go after server owners and groups like usual.

mojo,

That is definitely alarming, and a downside of the fedi, but seems like a necessary evil. Unfortunately admins and mods of small communties in the fedi will be the ones exposed to this. There has been better methods if handling this though. There are shared block lists out there and they already have lists that block out undesirable stuff like that, so it at least minimizes the amount of innocent eyes of mods, who are just regular unpaid people, from seeing disgusting stuff. Also, obviously those instances should be reported to the police, fbi, or whatever the heck

mojo,

There isn’t except going for server owners or infiltrating groups like they already do. Same can be said about encryption or even TCP protocol is being used to distribute CP. You simply can’t add CSAM protection for everything, nor should you. That leads to a surveillance state.

It’s an unfortunate byproduct of privacy that it will be used for evil, but that doesn’t mean we get rid of security. That’s how fascism begins.

mojo,

Yeah and this is one of the strong arguments used by governments to banned encryption as well. Or try to implement backdoors which are fundamentally broken as a concept and just straight up breaks encryption. Obviously we all know that’s bad. We also have to recognize these privacy and security things we advocate do in fact enable criminals. Still, that’s okay as they can be handled by other methods, and the right to privacy should be more important.

You could make the same argument with guns and cars, they can be extremely powerful weapons for bad actors. That does happen to, we have mass shootings and all sorts of crime with cars. But despite that, we still allow everyone to have these things. Well with guns, that’s more debatable, but you get what I mean lol.

mojo,

hehe anal

mojo,

It’s so exhausting the constant fascist anti-privacy laws there are. You stop one, 5 more pop up in its place. Eventually some are going to pass from sheer exhaustion.

mojo,

That made me so mad. It was so openly botted and gaslit. Not a single human being was against it that wasn’t part of a megacorp monopoly. It was just objectively bad. Just shows we straight up do not have a democracy, our votes meant nothing despite being one of the most widespread campaigns against it. I remember it was even the front page of google search to vote against it. That’s how you know how bad it was.
