Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now?

    When authoritarian governments have complete power they don't really checks and balances to the system, or juries. Take Putin - Navalny for example. You would know this if you aren't a Holocaust denier.

  • As for the USA, let me put it this way: If Trump gets elected, with the tech tools the govt has, we will see, at the very best, another Hong Kong, with anyone that disfavors the Repubs disappearing, some permanently. At the worst, we will see another Nazi Germany. He himself proposed executing people.

    If you practice privacy and can teach others, your skills will be valuable to the underground resistance.

    Sticker Mule cofounder supports fascism
  • Ya, I really love "kind-hearted, compassionate people" who support forcing raped teenage girls to have babies. Because that is what Trump stands for. In fact, it's pretty credible that he raped one himself at Epstein's compound. Those idiots have no clue what kind-hearted or compassionate means.

    Suggestions for Merino Wool Tshirts?
  • When we were in New Zealand we learned that most of the wool goes to China for processing. So I bought a Merino undershirt from aliexpress. Definitely not as nice as Icebreaker, but the price keeps me warm!

  • I'm retired on fixed income, but if I use an app, I try to send the developer some money. I usually only send if they have a bitcoin route. (Which is why I stopped supporting Wikipedia)

  • I'm not sure where to ask this so I started here: here: Is there a Lemmy client that has a filter. I want to hide posts from particular accounts. Like anyone for hexbear, for example. I know I can set up my own instance, but that's more work than I want right now. I was hoping someone knew a client that could do this.
