Poor is a strong word. It is not about being poor, but rather the inability for corporates to have a lack of the same constraints that FOSS zealots have. Money is just one of the key constraints.

Harmful network effect is not mere marketing, but propaganda aimed to make people deploy surveillance tools on themselves.

I will take the liberty of quoting a portion of my computing guide https://lemmy.ml/post/511377 :

IDENTIFY PRETEND EXPERTS AND DRAMA QUEENS ON INTERNET

There are a lot of pretend experts these days. Some do it in the name of security, some do it on YouTube, some do it for drumming up hype purposes. Everything has a pretend expert these days, but I will restrict myself to the computing domain.

In the case of security, there are many people that ignore privacy and anonymity implications, telemetry implications, and act apologetic for corporate closed source software. This is generally done for Western Big Tech, especialy Google, Apple, Microsoft and so on. Most of them are generally either hopeless people, employed on behalf of companies for marketing, or secretly have shareholder stakes with these public companies. RUN FROM THEM! Run as far as you can. These people never have your security interests as a priority.

There are a lot of technology YouTube channels that try to capitalise and bank off of prominent and big software, and “recommend” it to people by reading the marketing sheet or website pages. Usually, they lack substance or are going to make a 2147483647th video about a topic, rinse and repeat. Unless something is FLOSS, if something comes from the corporate lovers, take it with a bag of salt, not just a grain.

It is not just corporate lovers, though, that have cults. There are some projects that are FLOSS but have toxic or propagandistic cults behind them. One of them has some wonderful recent examples, related to FlorisBoard or Bromite (Chromium-based web browser). One of them is largely known for scammy crypto currency and creating a harmful network effect by giving sponsorships to tech YouTube channels.

A few app recommendations are outdated, rest is fine. Also for HOSTS ruleset, Hagezi provides great stuff on Github. Energized is dead.

Glad to know we could purge our existence back in the day from this corporation infested web2/3 dystopia. It is no longer possible, because corporations, AI and scrapers are thirsty to scrape any data without consequences. I would rather not exist on such a disgusting internet.

It is funny these YouTubers are only capable of this much knowledge. They do not understand democratisation is the most important and fastest way for masses to attain anything. This is precisely why my non root smartphone guide allows any Android phone and minimal user knowledge to achieve privacy and security, unlike some cults that ask you first buy specific phone, worship specific people, ask no questions and believe in whatever they do.

But a lot of the photos deleted are either badly clicked photos or NSFW stuff, so it is fair. This is the same company that kept chest thumping about security, when the fappening happened, and only in recent years did they tell they always had unencrypted iCloud.

Edit the post title to article title, without editorialising it yourself, within the next 2 hours. Else post will be deleted.

OP has listened.

Did you read the article?

With this change, we are seeking a new Executive Director to lead the Foundation’s movement-building programs. Currently, the Foundation has two core programs:

Global Programs funds, convenes, and synthesizes the movement to increase the diversity, cohesion and impact of people working on internet health issues globally. The team has conducted research on AI transparency best practices; given grants

Over the past few years, Mozilla’s leadership — including CEO and Chairwoman Mitchell Baker and President and Executive Director Mark Surman — have been working to expand the scope of this work. Surman has been focused both on pointing to the Foundation’s movement-building programs at the challenge of creating trustworthy AI and on expanding the Mozilla portfolio to include a new venture capital arm and a commercial AI R+D lab.

Former executive director was the one aiming to create AI, and new executive director is filling the role now. So, it is the same circus clowns doing the show.

So the AI is not going to be a thing in Firefox, right?

Mitchell Baker, Laura Chambers, Nabila Syed... Well it seems women are no better than men as far as capitalist greed goes. It is clear they want to steal the money of developers who want to build Firefox and other tools in better ways, instead of doing this AI and buzzword marketing bullshit and killing Firefox. They even had to layoff some security developers in the past few years just so that these CEO pigs could fill their tummies with more money.

Instead of the anti-trans agenda Brendan Eich, we get this other opposite agenda in place with money grubbing CEOs. Using leftist politics to cloak themselves is fucking disgusting. But since they are women, they will be immune to any criticisms.

Set it to 1, her anger might be enough to keep locking it :p

Jokes aside, gauge it properly to avoid accidental locks, as using the PIN while in public can cause security issues against shoulder peeking toms. Glad that it was of help. It works well, enjoy using it. BTW did you note that from my guide?

Apple's features are a joke. What Google has is better, and what they are doing now is magnitudes better. It was already done 5 years ago on Android, though, by a FOSS app.

To me, it sounds like it will just need accelerometer sensor to detect tracking. My non root smartphone guide has already advised for a couple years to deploy and configure the Private Lock app from F-Droid to prevent data access for phone snatchers. It is FOSS, does not require trusting Google and Just Works™.

Considering misandry tends to not leave men in SA'd

Oh, but men must keep their mouth shut, because anything we utter is misogyny, and things are one sided, and #AllMenBad and #BelieveAllWomen.

Having this kind of position in society silently has allowed me to observe what the "empathetic" people really are and mean, when they selectively care about issues.

Then where is your ministry towards those who are perpetrators, who have created the conditions you complain about?

There is no ministry, and there will be no ministry, because we have not gotten past the point where men stopped being tribalists and women stopped being tribalists. All we know is apathy, individualism, revenge and "getting back at em". This is not born out of patriarchy, but is rather a primate instinct we as animals have. Well... there is a ministry, and there are laws, but all of them favour women over men. The internet and media trials will not be that ministry. Where this lawful ministry falters is the elites in hold of various positions from the court to ground zero, and let me tell you that it is not just men - women are the greatest enemies of women - an age old saying in India. They exist at ground zero, in homes, in society and in institutions. The elites do not solely consist of cis men.

Things like male SA is well rewarded in this society as opposed to female SA and eve teasing. Men are supposed to solve women's problems, but not vice versa. Military conscription and requirements, deaths at risky jobs... oh sorry I am so misogynistic, I will shut up.

I could go on and on, but I am pretty sure all this is just "misogyny" and I need to read certain theory and I need to surround myself with feminists who are thirsty to oppress men at all costs. It is unfortunate that I am not coming to a conclusion I once desired, one for cultural harmony without the need for men or anyone else to be subjugated. There is a sickening both sides vibe to this, as much as I hate it.

If questioning all this is inceldom and redpill and whatever, then the left seriously needs to introspect and critique itself on the subject of cultural warfare. There will be no success without the ones holding other half of the sky. To hell with all the cis men, I guess.

This kind of apathy towards men is horrible, and I try to coerce people so that someone considers listening to us wanting a balance. I am trying to understand why there is no inclusivity for men and their concerns among the left. These kinds of posts, and comments on a similar tangent are very common here, and the weird part is these stereotypes are not even applicable for leftist, liberal, centrist and most men out there. Even some conservatives are not like this. Only a specific portion of rightwingers behave like this. Mainstream social media already spews this kind of vitriol, yet it is also here, and plenty cis men are on Lemmy that see this regularly.

We as men are not the baddies. And I am not even going to phrase it as a question, because it is a fact. Neither is it our fault, nor is it our doing.

I have never seen a piece of content removed for misandry at all. NEVER. It is always about misogyny. Why is that? I have helped build this platform in 4 years and crushed a ton of fascists, but this keeps bugging me, as on one hand I try to bolster the privacy community by myself, but on the other hand I keep seeing this non-inclusive stuff.

Unfortunately, that manufactured bullshit is having an effect worldwide because of how western media is consumed and accepted around the world. The social media disease transcends borders, and so do how laws end up favouring women over men instead of justice being equal. I do not care who respects my position, because who does not care, never cared about men to begin with. If it were a USA exclusive thing, I would not care as much, because that settler colony is the weirdest human populated area on earth.

The amount of absurdity I have seen come out from the left on men's rights and concerns makes me think they are not far away from being an alterego of redpillers. They should just end each other in this cultural war and leave the rest of the world alone and happy. Unfortunately, these terminally online parasites on both sides love to hijack all forms of communication to shove their narrative up everyone's ass without consent.

Maybe you are too blind to see it, but I frankly give 0fux. I am not blind, so I refuse to be part of either unhinged tribes in the culture war. Excluding one group while helping everyone else is indeed quite fascistic, and the only denialists I have seen are extremists on some side/tribe. It does not matter if the tribe is called leftists or rightists or redpillers or feminists.

I am far more leftist geopolitically than you could ever dream of trying to mimic a fraction of me, considering I support Palestine, Russia and China, and condemn every single NATO turd. But I do not consider leftists that disregard men's rights and concerns as my cultural allies.

Bluepillers should go try living with bears unironically and see if they can come back alive. I think it would prove their point if they succeed, how all men are monsters and demons and whatever epithets they can trend on social media.

If this comic was reversed, it would be about all women, and a misogynistic attack. So this comic should be treated as unreal, otherworldly and misandrist. If this double standard cannot be seen, it proves my point.
