You Can’t Post Your Way Out of Fascism | Authoritarians and tech CEOs now share the same goal: to keep us locked in an eternal doomscroll instead of organizing against them

LF leftists in Kansas. Organize

The UHC board still gets paid the same, the second suit behind Brian has defended Brian and the company's practices. They probably loaned out their own stock shares for short selling and made profit off of that too.

News flash, people have been talking about US Healthcare for decades. Luigi didn't prompt any discussion at all.

Not only did the USA health financing system not change, but the new admin is in the process of making ALL healthcare privatized instead by freezing government payouts to Medicaid. If Luigi had any systemic impact its that things got worse, is that what you're saying?

WDYM mobile-friendly? There are plenty of engines, I suppose some have adaptive design.

Anyway, I remember browsing websites of that time using Sony PSP default browser. This was certainly harder than anything you get today. Still bearable enough.

Just opened one forum made with Invision Power Board, it is of course not adaptive, but I don't need endless scroll on a forum. Pretty usable with, well, zoom in, zoom out, tap. All that.

WDYM have apps? You have a web browser. It's intended to visit websites. I would understand if those apps would provide any functionality outside of that of a website. Maybe putting website bookmarks on the home screen would be a good user-friendly feature for Android though. Those could even use RSS to indicate something. Maybe those should be just RSS indicators even.

If you mean that you don't want web, just something like Usenet - I have no answer except Usenet itself. Freenet (Locutus) seems to have a winter depression, but I haven't visited their Matrix channel lately.

Still talking about it.

Or are you pretending like making people speak about a thing — globally — doesn't mean anything?

[finitebanjo@lemmy.world]

Ah man, you were making progress, too. Almost had half of a good argument.

[quazar@lemmy.world]

which is why i refused to pay for tv/movies. I refused to spend my hard earned money on their "circus"

[dasus@lemmy.world]

So that's a "yes, I am going to obstinately pretend that making literally the whole world speak about something does not mean anything and can't even be called an achievement"?

Aww. It's gonna be hard to get anyone to think anything you say matters when you don't believe that speaking doesn't mean anything. ;>

People even knowing their next door neighbors NAME is leaps and bounds ahead of where we are right now.

The revoltion will not be televised - Gill Scott Heron

[rottingleaf@lemmy.world]

Even people agreeing with this are wary of any revolution which is not in some way being televised. And more trusting to television than to what they can see with their own eyes.

They have done the same to liberals, just in a different way. Why do the harder thing when the easier thing is just as good? Most liberals already believe bullshit just as convenient for Trump.

How you support or not support an idea is not less important than what is that idea.

There is another way - if it’s in your power, don’t obey the regime in any way.

Can you please cite a historical event anywhere in the world from any time in history where this was done and worked?

Thanks.

What I mean is that there’s a whole different world of how you make an app usable on a mobile phone with portrait screen and a website that’s displayed on a big screen. Many remaining forums I’ve seen from the past were built for a different time, with outdated designs and no good usability on a vertical-based screen.

Now, I’ve seen something line the Swift and Rust forums that do look good on mobile, simple and aesthetically pleasing.

About apps, they’re not necessary indeed, but for many services it’s an assurance that the usability was thought for that environment. For example, the only reason I do enjoy browsing Lemmy is because of the Voyager app that resemble the defunct Apollo for Reddit and copied all the good usability of it for iOS. If it wasn’t for the apps people built for Lemmy, I’d probably not have much drive to come back to it often.

I am trying to get people I know personally to stop posting and reading and instead begin to focus on the very basics of actual organization, in the form of simply being able to communicate effectively and securely.

I have collected and written up information for them with the consideration that they are non-technical, pertaining to secure and private communications primarily, but also many more potentially useful emergency-scenario information and data which I will not speak about here.

The package I have started giving to my friends contains information such as:

• How to communicate securely using something like Simplex or I2P
• How to correctly configure and use a VPN
• How to flash a security distribution of Linux such as TailsOS to a flash drive and how to boot to it from a computer
• How to securely encrypt data to a device using an encryption software with hidden volume features such as VeraCrypt
• A litany of manuals for all kinds of useful information you can use in emergencies, which I will not detail here
• Files containing the data required to build potentially useful items in emergencies given access to the correct hardware which I will not detail here

I firmly believe that the majority of Americans will not do anything until someone is actually showing up at their door, coming after them in the street, or destroying the regularities of their personal day to day life, so my intention is to disseminate materials which they can turn to when the fear sets into them well enough that they are scared to talk about such things openly.

It is clear to me that most of my American friends at least, at this point, still only feel superficial fear and outrage. The other day I asked them "If you had to vandalize a public space with a piece of art, what would you draw or paint? Let's say it is the side of a bank".

One said "tits", one said "flowers", one said "a fox".

Even in a fantasy, they would not express fear or outrage in a public setting.

Is signal not good enough or something? I basically switched to signal.

I know what hobby project I'd want to lift, but I also know that I struggle with much simpler undertakings - like, for example, cooking something normal more than twice a week.
