Tech company improving user experience= we are strengthening our ability to further exploit you.
Agree. I actually read these things and share with my friends and family.
Mainly I point out : do you realize they are claiming WE own everything you do and all data you enter on our platform or app...and all your data everywhere.
Terms of service= terms of data serfdom
@Daojoan and that's why #CCSS & #SaaS-only shite needs to be eradicaded!
@HPlovedaft @Daojoan No, I want you to stop JAQing off in folks' replies with vague claims that the folks they've made giant donations to "aren't actually nazis".
Establishing that they're donating to nazis does not require a list of everyone they donated to. What I want to know is who, among the vile parties they've made large donations to that the rest of us agree are nazis, you think is "not a literal nazi".
@dalias @Daojoan Nowhere did I refute their claim, I simply said it's reductive to just say Nazis. The issue is far more nuanced than just "Red V Blue" or "Nazis V Commies".
Anyone slightly right of center who sees a post like this is just going to roll their eyes and keep scrolling instead of actually engaging.
@HPlovedaft @Daojoan It's not nuanced. I'll spell it out clearly. People who keep Mein Kampf by their bedside are nazis. People who make nazi salutes are nazis. People who make & act upon plans to exterminate scapegoat racial or gender groups are nazis. People who willingly collaborate with nazis are nazis. People who vote for nazis are nazis. The entire Republican party is nazis.
If you actually believe these companies have not donated giant amounts of money to any of the above, I have an NFT of a bridge to sell you...
@dalias @Daojoan I feel like you're intentionally misrepresenting my argument, I don't disagree with the fact that there are Nazis being donated to, I'm sure there are.
I disagree with the disingenuous use of the term Nazi here when the vast vast majority of silicon valley is left wing.
It implies that the majority if not all donations are going to far right causes when in fact the vast majority of money flowing in big tech is going to left wing orgs.
@HPlovedaft @Daojoan There was never an implication that "the majority if not all donations are going to nazis". IDGAF if they give $100M to some spineless Dems "to make up for" giving $100M to literal nazis. The latter is utterly damning and there is nothing you can do to atone for giving *anything* to nazis short of wiping out those nazis.
The idea that "vast vast majority of silicon valley is left wing" is utterly bonkers wrong, but a common misconception. Everything about SV is hardcore technofascist. A lot of the workers might *fancy themselves* left wing, but they won't stand in the way of their bosses collaborating with nazis (and they probably agree with the nazis on lots of the bs about "undesirables" and homelessness/"crime").
The few who would have already been ousted for doing so.
@HPlovedaft @dalias @Daojoan
The farce called "national socialism" isn't a left or right thing, it's a "state control" thing and both sides have been pushing towards it from different angles for decades. Democrats mostly set the stage and Republicans mostly knock us down.
And i noticed that you said the statement is correct but you felt inclined to disagree anyway. You take up people's time to discuss how they use their words wrong to say a correct thing. You could try to increase awareness of the correct thing but instead you don't want people to hear it because they won't like it.
I'm just not sure this is the way to a better informed public and a more effective democracy.
@HPlovedaft @Daojoan LMAO we are not here to have "socratic dialog" with people who think nazis have points worthy of debate.
And moreover I'm pretty sure anyone who uses the phrase "socratic dialog" unironically is not somebody I want to have a conversation with at all.
@Daojoan Initially, I had mountains of faith and trust in him.
Until I saw the clip of him parking his 2 million dollar supercar. My heart sank…
@Daojoan likely.. Damn nostalgia is so comfy Growing up discovering PC systems, programming, learning about open source, being hyped about the future❤️
I'm sorry to the generation following, when I get better I want to enable them to have the same happy times.
