But they're not choosing the content. Algorithm -> Tiktok -> China -> Communist party is.

What's weird is when people imply that opinions form from the ether, rather than from interaction with the cultural conversation.

There's nothing that can be done about that reality, so we have to worry about people and mechanisms that have control over that conversation.

It should not sound unreasonable to worry about an adversarial country possessing what amounts to a gigantic, unauditable mind control machine.

What you want is Urbit (though hn hates it for political reasons)

How to secure your computation on a compromised device??? Is this a joke?

Just use keepassxc and be master of your keys. You have to move forward. Every 6 months I hear about a breach at lastpass. I assumed only clueless normies were left on it, but I guess their efforts to blockade data exports were effective.

> for some reason

Google plainly dropped totp wherever possible in order to confirm everyone's identity.

Totp was an open standard that didn't help them spy on anyone, and they regret releasing it bigtime.

Isn't this supposedly what bitchute has been using for years?

I'm in the same boat exactly. Some people are saying they're more productive with it but all I can ask is 'howwww!?'

What's odd is that I'm noticing almost every single report of it being useful is from someone who is anti code licenses. Or rather, not that they're philosophically opposed, but they disregard licenses altogether because it benefits them and they can't be stopped. I've seen so few reports of usefulness coupled with legal or moral skepticism.

I very much assert that the legal, economic, and social context in which a programmer operates has a great impact on what the programmer produces. We established the licenses we have for good reasons. Licenses alter all of the above variables. We are not simply code production machines. We make code for reasons.

You are free to view yourself as a code production machine, where what you produce is independent of the situation before and after you make anything, but many of us would like to take ownership and action on the legal, economic, and social planes with our work.

Gab already did that with Dissenter but Google banned them.
