I feel like all we’re doing is speedrunning Reddit.

Considering how well voting has turned out in general, maybe the voting system is the issue.

Yeah, we should run this shit through Somalia, they don’t give a f u c k.

Lemmy.world is a fucking shithole. It’s teenage life crisis tumblr in here.

Sweden has gone about 80% fascist, in case you didn’t know. By popular vote, even! We have literal Nazis in government right now, they’re the second largest party, and while “not all Swedes” agree that they are Nazis, their heritage and lineage stems directly from the neo-Nazi movement in Sweden in the 80’s and 90’s, supported financially by Putin. <- this is not a joke, btw

All SIM cards have to be registered with your personal identification number (more or less “social security number”, but with your 100% full identifiable personal information), by law, and by law it is illegal not to state where you live (like a census law, you must report to authorities at all times where you reside. If you don’t have a home, well, your last address is where you officially live).

The right wing extremists have pumped money into police, and they now have the right to effect stop-and-frisk zones, and wiretapping anyone they please without probable cause or even suspicion of criminal activity.

This is true, but almost nobody uses it- Mobile BankID is the ubiquitous app for that, and while there still is the possibility, not all sites accept it. Not to mention, this still requires a computer, and while you may be inclined to say that “well there are always libraries”, you cannot install third party software on their computers, and they do NOT carry BankID application (because of course not). This is true for social services as well.

The real fear is the fact that once everything goes digital - and it will - everybody is at the mercy of finance and the ability to procure a telephone, and or a computer, and or an internet connection (all SIM cards have to be registered with national identification before the state, adding to the problem of how you would identify yourself in the first place in lieu of such capabilities or possibilities).

Neither having a phone or a computer is considered a human right yet, as far as I know, and in either case the state is not obligated to provide you with one regardless.

May seem like nitpicking, but that is what lawmaking and jurisprudence is all about.

This is actually something I have spent a lot of time thinking about. In Sweden, where my boyfriend lives, their BankID app is ubiquitous, and there is very little cash handling going on, additionally the fees for actually going to the bank or subsidiary to pay your bills are exorbitant.

Everybody pays their bills online using “BankID”, which is kinda nifty and works well enough if a single point of failure is your thingaling, but what if people simply choose not to get a phone, or don’t want a computer, just basic like that, what if?

It feels kind of creepy to me, I don’t know…

Man I thought I added that information, I intended to, obviously.

But either case, I’m not taking any chances. I’d never click a mail link regardless, I’d go straight to the address in another browser session to examine what’s going on.

My solid guess right now is actual hacker attempt, because they’ve been trying to log in every 6 hours or so for a day or two. I use solid passwords for everything, so hopedy hope. Not that I know what the fuck they’d use my twitter account for.

Of course it’s not!

Look at it like they are saying:

“Hi! Your account may be hacked. To mitigate it, you need to log in.”

I didn’t even know I had a Twitter account, and so 2FA certainly not. So as a person who never uses Twitter, to get a mail like this is a conundrum. Better log in and change that password or whatever, right? So suddenly someone who never used twitter, or apparently did sign up once some long time ago, is logging in for the first time in ages.

Corporate: “See, users are coming back to our platform!”

Then again, it could be a phishing attempt, too, but either case is un-good. Someone tried to log in multiple times over 6 hour intervals and over 2 days, so obv hacker, but still.

That sounds like a great idea, in that case, but I know 0 about HTML, I just make systems run. Where do we go to suggest something like it? Lemmy is a whole new thing for me so…

Si señor?

This is the EU slowly doing what it can.

“Kill cancer already”? Ok, for that we need to do testing and advanced chemistry for a long time. This IS how you get rid of it, there is no other way.

This is one battle in the long war, my friend. If you want to kill them, these kinds of steps are absolutely essential. You can’t just go back in time and snipe Hitler, you have to fight on the beaches, on the fields and in the streets, and you must never surrender.

De-googling is not a simple task, it takes actual man-hours of proper work to be done, especially when we’re talking decades of accounts et c. Even when and if that gets done, what are you going to do about Android? And even if you sort that out, there are a hundred other digital ware that would need the same treatment.

At some point the task becomes insurmountable, it seems, not to mention you already need to have a solid technical background to have a chance of pulling it off.

I would love some suggestions if you have them, but frankly I am getting too old for this shit, I’ve fought it all my life but I’m just the one person and my time is limited you know what I’m sayin.

Ha ha none, that’s me getting creative so you guys have something pretty to look at while also hiding my personal info. I can’t help myself starting to doodling away when I go to delete shit with GIMP.

But I will always prefer screenshots because I think it is more impactful and provides visual context to show what’s going on, a picture says more than a thousand words as it were.

(i don’t use brave browser btw)

Huh. Would that be a good solution, like a hover popup you mean? I’m not into CSS. Will screen readers get that? Shouldn’t be crazy difficult to make a bot otherwise, screen reader scans images for text on request by poster or automatically. We have bots here right?
