The Quuuuuill

go open youtube in a private tab and see how long it takes for an innocuous video to get a recommended video from the manosphere, rightwingtube, or magaworld. youtube pushes nazi shit hard. if they’re not pushing it on you, it usually means their mathematical model for determining who right wing propaganda works best on indicates you’re not a good target, in which case they’ll mostly push meaningless drivel.

youtube and youtube culture have been dying a right wing nazi death for a decade now. all the best things people were doing are on patreon and nebula now

it’s a multipart series. i was able to find the title but not a feed or a link. it’s titled The Butterfly Effect

i’ll have to find it, but there’s a fascinating journalistic podcast about how pornhub’s position as the tech giant of the porn industry happened effectively the same as every tech giant: not as a labor of love to advance something, but as a cold blooded disruption of a market to establish a new oligarchic overlord of a market sector. pornhub’s position as an invasive species in the sex work ecosystem has made sex work far less humane than it was before. moreover, sex workers, given their complete lack of societal protection given our legal criminalization of their profession, are more vulnerable to the whims of a modern robber baron

managers have insane priorities

time to go ham sandwich

propaganda works

compliance remains unacceptable

i’ve been using Qwant when i search news

it’s not perfect, but i’ve just been gathering interesting links into my org roam notebook

This is a scenario where a single node VPN would reduce, not increase OP’s security stance. You do have to worry about NK hackers breaching your services because they’re all exposed through the single node VPN server. Same attack surface, less knowledge needed to hit the target with the payload.

VPNs are not a panacea by any stretch of the imagination. they are good for certain use cases but from OP’s description they would do next to nothing

man that’s so sad. how far the amazonians who scared the romans shitless have fallen when even eastern european women are trad-wifin’ it. and what’s sad is that the way she gave up her dignity is she was convinced since birth by people who were convinced since birth that she had no dignity in the first place. it’s possible to cherish your children and to take joy in home tasks without treating it like its your only value

does it come with CMYK settings yet, or did that already happen in a past release i missed?

yeah it’s definitely concerning

hopefully they’re just moving to another forge

to start

read the subprime attention crisis. ads markets have gotten extremely uneffective

this is an act of desperation by the digital ad markets. they have to innovate new types of ad to sell because more and more the only ads that actually work even a little bit are personal testimony and billboards, neither of which the digital ad markets actually sell. we are currently experiencing an economic collapse in the advertising space which is driving the ad markets to use their propaganda machines for less and less scrupulous purposes. ever wonder why there’s so much right wing bullshit in your youtube ads now? because that shit didn’t sell razors or soap or mattresses or whatever. but it CAN make people very scared and upset
