Ah yeah, that is sadly true. Too much lobbying and corruption for this to work the way it's supposed to.

Encapsulated in that "etc." in my first response is "going out of business". This type of response would be way too difficult to get actual numbers for, but it has worked countless times. Just look at all the businesses that are no longer in business at all, they went out of business because they were no longer earning enough to stay viable.

It doesn't matter if the company connects the loss to a specific action (although it would be nice) since the end result is the same, after enough time.

Lastly, I just don't like the idea of my dollars being used by a company to further an agenda that I don't want to support.

I would argue this is actually one of the most effective ways to respond. If enough people do it then the company has to react somehow (by pivoting, etc.). Obviously an organized effort would be better, but the "vote with your money" method isn't anything to ridicule.

Wow, that's more than a millennium, isn't it?

It can happen to anyone, even you! All it takes is for you to be a bit tired, stressed, or have a bit of an emotional response and it can quickly spiral.

Hell, even the guy who came up with the term "phishing" clicked a phishing link at the height of his cyber security career and just barely caught himself before providing info.

These people aren't idiots, they are victims who were tricked.

I believe what they mean is "fuck car centric societal design". No reasonable person should be mad that someone is using the current system to live their life (i.e. driving to work). What the real goal is spreading awareness that a car centric society is inherently isolating and stressful, and that one more lane does absolutely nothing to lessen traffic (except for like a month ish)

Hence the "hard lesson" part. A lot of us tech-focused people learned the same lesson with our document backup systems. You lose some important documents, then you realize you really should backup your stuff. All I hope is these people learn the lesson earlier in life before the consequences become more and more severe.

Or just make it clear your account is gone if you lose your passkey, so have a second key for backup or learn a hard lesson.

I feel we are in need of a societal shift here, just like another commenter said about the printing press. When that first came out, the pushback was from the worry that the words would be attributed to someone who never said them (reverse plaigerism). The societal adjustment to this was the universal doubt that anyone said that thing without proof.

For generative AI, when it becomes widespread, photos will be generateable for literally everyone, not just minors but every person with photos online. It will be a societal shift; images will be assumed to be AI generated, making any guilt or shame about a nude photo existing obselete.

Just a matter of time so may as well start now!

This is only true for processed foods. If you stick to a whole food diet, it's actually more common to under eat sodium, which has it's own host of negative health effects.

 

I saw that the cross posting implementation was improved upon in one of the recent updates, but I don't see a button for how to do this on a post that hasn't been cross posted yet. Could someone show me how to do it?

I'm on version 0.2.6, have cross posting enabled in the settings, and I'm using the Android app.
