  • More users will hopefully mean more people finding and reporting edge cases which will lead to better software. Open source is great because anyone can improve it and everyone has the changes if accepted by the developers.

    Never give any of Elon Musk's companies a dime or your time. Twitter is the worst one I think especially because Grok is now trained to repeat right-wing nonsense. I hope no one here is still on Twitter and I hope everyone you know in your personal life is also off that horrible website. If you know someone still using it tell them to switch to an alternative like Bluesky or Mastodon.

  • Where can I find DNS denylists for Musk, Trump-owned businesses?

    Jump

  • I tried researching this and wasn't able to find an exact match for your question.

    However I can say blocking hate websites and fake news websites helps stop Trump because it's part of his pillars of support for power.

    I think the best one I found so far is this which seems well maintained and current: https://github.com/sefinek/Sefinek-Blocklist-Collection it has a hate category and a fake news category.

    Then you can supplement the lists and block the main Trump and Musk websites by searching for Donald Trump for Trump's websites and block the SpaceX, Twitter, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring Company websites.

    The first one I found when searching for this was this blocklist which targets hate websites, propaganda websites and "alt-tech" websites (meaning things like far-right social media) but it's a little old. It seems they used some kind of automated method to find subdomain names. I don't know where they would have got this:

     
        
0.0.0.0 5iisjztgyz.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org
0.0.0.0 5x0eggbvlm.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org
0.0.0.0 6hwzzfs2iy.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org

    To be fair the domain name is a hate website, it's just the subdomain part is of course useless here.

    I haven't closely reviewed the domain names on these lists but a quick glance of these lists makes me think it's overall pretty accurate. If you encounter a website you cannot visit you can always unblock it and create an issue on Github.

  • Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads Per Hour

    Jump

  • Amazon funded Trump's inauguration, they've doubled their advertisements, they mistreat their warehouse workers, for people who don't use Amazon often you're paying more money than you'd spend on just paying for shipping on the occasion you need fast shipping or if you don't need fast shipping you can still get free shipping if your order is more than the threshold which I think depends on your account might be $25 or $35.

    Given all these things I really hope no one is subscribing to Amazon prime. I'd highly recommend anyone who uses Amazon prime to cancel it. Being shown advertisements on something you're paying for is insane. This should be the final straw for any Amazon Prime customer.

  • Bluesky vs. Twitter "the X algorithm downranks journalism"

    Jump

  • Hedge your bets. You're already here on Lemmy so in a way you're kind of already doing that although this I would consider it a different type of social media. You're free to create a Mastodon account too and try other platforms as well.

    With that said I do believe that Bluesky is likely to at-least remain the lesser of evils when compared with Twitter. I think Bluesky is a great replacement for Twitter because the barrier to entry is about equal. Mastodon is a little more technical.

  • How small conversations can make a big difference

    Jump

  • Why I wrote it now: It started with the idea of bringing up things in your daily conversations you have that help make the world better which takes very little of your time but can spur good ideas and help advance good causes. Then I as I was thinking about what are some things one can say one of the things I realized is it's important to ask everyone you know (who will care) about voting because Republicans are continuing to attack voting rights so we need to defend against that now by perhaps preparing documentation to pass whatever new legislation gets enacted. It's a preemptive measure. Also I didn't have an account here before the election. Of course if I had a time machine I would do everything I could to spread this message but I must focus on the future.

    Also this for sure won't be the last time I mention this. As local elections get closer I will try to bring this up again. I hope you'll join me in reminding as many people as possible everywhere that it's important to vote and to be prepared to vote ahead of time.

  • I just read an argument today about not focusing on every little thing Trump says and instead coming in when there's going to be real negative repercussions. The reason why is because when journalists repeat the lies of Trump, people even those who are clearly against Trump may accidentally internalize one of his lies through no fault of their own.

  • Reminder—

    Jump

  • Reading that makes me very happy! I try tell people this whenever I can: there's hope everywhere in America, no matter how red a state is now it can become blue one day. I was a Trump supporter myself and changed, other people can too! Think about all the people in Alabama who bought that shirt. If they banded together they could change Alabama for the better. Things won't be instant but perhaps they get a better mayor elected, then a better state representative then send someone better to the House, then one day a better Senator. If we try and work together it can happen!

  • When I was a Republican I saw this talking point come up a lot and sadly I used to buy into it. Basically GOPers attack RATM by claiming they are actually part of the machine and justify their argument by saying other people such as outspoken actors in Hollywood have the same politics and that they charge high ticket prices and use services such as Ticketmaster, perform at large venues and associated with Sony Music (through Epic Records).

    Reflecting on this it's not a good argument. In life things are not perfect so while they may be doing things like using Ticketmaster they are still doing a lot of good things and working towards a more fair and equitable society, perhaps one day in part due to their music motivating and encouraging people to elect more progressive people Ticketmaster will be regulated or broken up.

    It's surprising to me to see the same talking points I'm familiar with come not from the right but come from the left because you and RATM likely have a lot in common when it comes to political stances. For example I'm sure you and RATM are both against police brutality. Even if Sony manufactures RATM's CDs isn't it a lot better that someone has RATM playing in their car instead of whatever right wing talk show trash is playing on Clear Channel-owned stations (now called iheartmedia)?

  • This is a fantastic article! Today we saw how powerful #8 is when Mariann Edgar Budde asked Trump to be a decent human being.

    1. Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. Remember Rosa Parks. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow.
