"Man is a mere machine; his every thought and action forced, possessing no will power, and in no way responsible for his actions."

In terms of 'Digital Sovereignty' this is giving the Tech Bros a slice of your territory as a bribe.
UK Labour just gave....Swindon...to the Clan Of Paedophiles.

And how's that OFCOM investigation into Grok AI going? Has it started? The Euro one has....

💔Alex J. Pretti💔 age 37, of South #Minneapolis was gunned on in cold blood by #ICE thugs today. He was Brandishing his phone recording 🧊.

No criminal record. Worked for the VA as an ICU nurse. Legal gun owner. Homeowner. Upstanding member of his community. He was a hero in his career, and went out like a hero trying to protect the women the ICE officer pushed down.

A TRUE hero all around, he didn’t deserve this. RIP #AlexPretti

@dansup Well, I guess this is growing up

While cleaning, I found an old Redmi 12 phone that's still in perfect condition. Anyone know what fun things I could do with it? Thinking about experimenting software wise, repurposing it for other things etc. Any ideas?

What a perfect time for Loops to be launching in the App Store ✨

@janwlrvn uit eigen ervaring kan ik zeggen dat je alle ebox-mails gewoon rechtstreeks kunt archiveren en bijgevolg straal negeren 🤗

I don't think that the team behind WSocial can be trusted if the main page already misleads people by skipping the fact that there are European social media platforms such as Mastodon.

Starting a platform that, according to its team, wants to fight against disinformation, yet misleading people is not making it trusted or credible.

@janwlrvn ik wil social berichtgeving van de overheid ontvangen via doccle en daarover geüpdatet worden via ebox. enige aanvaardbare manier in dit land, me dunkt!

@mstrlaw that would make sense! one can hope...

@mstrlaw on the other hand, can't they just run a Mastodon server instead of their own social media platform?

If you know about Loops but don't actively use it, what's the main reason?

Boosts extend sample range.

@Doomscroll yes, I've seen, I was too quick with my reply hahahaha

@Doomscroll I think a lot of people just don't want to use an app like Loops - or TikTok/IG Reels for that matter - because they're not really the demographic.
I use it myself, but rather to get used to it for when IG or TikTok inevitably fall to boycotts etc. and users flee the platform as happened with Twitter. I have to use those platforms for my job, so I like to be prepared to change quickly. Don't use it daily, tho, but neither did with IG or TT so there's that
