I think this guy has to be a troll.

Edit: after paying more attention, I’m coming around to realchadmctruth

I think the public is staggeringly bad at advocating for their own interests.

I’ve been hoping something like this comes along. I dont have the time or knowledge to do it myself.

If you can hear me out there, please pull the plug.

Hold on, am I missing something? I don’t see anyone in here talking about that time proton openly endorsed the Republican party. Did we forget about or forgive them for that? Is it just irrelevant right now? They backtracked later but like https://archive.ph/2yWGz

When organizations make a move like that, they usually don’t stop pushing in that direction, even if they backtrack in response to pushback. While I’m sure they’re still better than google, I have a hard time trusting them after that. It feels relevant to talk about because like you said, using proton is adding another trust point.

I don’t know about you but I don’t choose not to. other people choose for me, and trying to do anything about it would either get me locked up and tortured or shot.

As an American, no it’s not nice. Why would I want more of this shit elsewhere?

I wish I could’ve gotten a software engineering degree

I think you’re overestimating how difficult it is to make your own.

Well, it will end eventually. What the united states is doing right now is completely unsustainable long-term. I think it’s going to get a lot worse for a lot of people for a long while, but it will end.

You can measure the Doppler shift relative to the cosmic microwave background though

I’m using the microwave background as a reference

A kids book owned by someone who is using the money and fame to campaign to destroy the lives of a bunch of my friends and millions of others.

You can like the book at whatever age idc, but please understand the sentiment that the author should not be getting revenue from those books because they are trying to legally define people out of existence. I’m not a fan of erasing media and, not having read the books, I have no way to be offended by their content, but I do not want Rowling profiting from their sale. Spread pirated digital copies in place of print until it ends up in public domain.

Okay but irrelevant ads is the dream. I’d prefer not to get recommendations at all either. I’ll hear from word of mouth what’s worthwhile to watch, or I’ll look for it myself. Recommendations consistently muddy things up, it makes all modern social media useless, I have no idea how people can put up with it.

I don’t know if there’s a clean way to do this right now, but I’d love to see a software project dedicated to doing this. Once a data set is poisoned it becomes very difficult to un-poison. The companies would probably implement some semi-effective but heavy-handed means of defending against it if it actually affected them, but I’m all for making them pay for that arms race.

Hey they said one of.

So that’s what they meant by “fun for the whole family”
