you mean like when you get overwhelmed with emotion and need to walk it off before you can focus again?

i dont smoke

the us thing of plastering your political opinions all over your car will never cease to be amusing to me.

let me guess: because it wouldn’t get them elected in capitalist elections?

set your rgb to red to make it faster

i’m real because i’m here.

can’t vouch for everything else though sorry.

they know they could be next

where? asking for a friend.

same for some laptops out there.

no reason a framework type thing couldn’t be a thing for all laptops.

we are about to see buggy ass chips from nvidia now.

welcome, reddit refugees.

how does that even work? is the chinese gubbermint putting hormones on the water? breeding the best potential basketball players in a top secret program?

never attribute to stupidity what can be adequately explained by malice.

People more strongly engage with messages spread through their network of peers.

and this spread is also strongly mediated by their algorithms, the closest people who they would actually show it to are the ones i can much more effectively talk directly to and skip the malicious middleman altogether.

executives from Meta gave workshops teaching how to use AI and achieve greater reach on the platform.

this is true, but that’s very far from the reason they are so effective, and is happening since much before AI. beyond the bots they were proven to be paying for, the main difference lies in the actual amount of spending money they have

or how a fascist propaganda outlet owned by brazillian comprador oligarchs spent the most money in that 4 years for boosting content on facebook, topping even the government itself. there was an abrupt shift in the regular joe political opinion because of it and us tech imperialism is widely recognized as the root cause, as briefly alluded to in the article you linked yourself.

leftists making slop to propagandize quicker (they already are, and assuming otherwise is condescending at best) barely makes a dent, and whenever they do meta will quickly ban them, here is another prominent case btw.

i don’t blame you too much for having this one completely upside down though, between all of this many brazilians are lost too.

online social networks and platforms controlled by big tech companies are geopolitical structures increasingly aligned with the far right.

all that to say basically read more into this part of this quote instead 👆

I’ve yet to see that. Social media like reddit

leftism is constantly banned on reddit whenever it gets too much attention. having a place they won’t be banned from is one of the reasons the admins made lemmy in the first place. and a lot of subreddits being closed there end up on leftist instances right here.

i have never seen successful botting campaigns from the left on reddit or meta products aside from sad attempts. exemplify one i can learn from if it exists.

that’s part of why it’s a shithole

i mean in the literal sense.

they are constantly deleting accounts of left wing politicians in my country, and went as far as blocking all left wing profiles for a while when they knew they would go viral because of recent happenings.

google and meta lobbied (and succeeded) for blocking a law that would make fascists accountable for their lies on the internet, and it’s common knowledge here youtube will push fascist, christofascist and generally conspiratorial right wing slop aggressively.

google took millions from actual fascists to push extremist propaganda in their search results. shit i could go on a bit.

in this case the one-sided foreign right wing propaganda is pushed by themselves. i don’t know how exactly they conceal this in the US, but i hear leftist content creators constantly complaining about similar shit online. mainstream social media platforms are very explicitly fascist, and run by fascists.

they would never allow such botting for left wing ideas like they do fascists.

china is reportedly preparing to take over the consumer cpu market.

resisting enshitification through federation, and talking to humans instead of bots. not seeing covert ads on the front page. being able to talk about anti-hegemonic anti-billionaire topics openly without getting banned.

if you think this shit is funny, you deserve what’s coming for you.

flatpak marks packages as unmaintained, and at least gnome software will show it to users with a banner.
