“If man chooses oblivion, he can go right on leaving his fate to his political leaders. If he chooses Utopia, he must initiate an enormous education program - immediately, if not sooner.”

Fun fact:
Back during the dotcom boom I met a guy in San Francisco who worked fixing bugs in Netscape’s rendering engine.
He said ~80% of the problem reports were from porn sites complaining that their page didn’t work properly in NS but worked fine in IE.
So yeah he spent all day on porn sites, making them better for the rest of us.
True hero.
This. Anything that looks like pro porn actors, high quality expensive filming equipment, “scenes”, etc – all that is instant limp-dick.
The best is when a totally amateur person/couple/group have hi-rez, hi-quality 60 FPS cam and are naturally exhibitionists and sexual freaks.
Support small time pr0n producers! Fight corporatism!

People with a legit disability or traumatic brain injury have dignity
People without those conditions who still have a Sky Daddy are credulous, stupid, and should not vote
Any non-disabled adult with an Imaginary Friend in the Sky should absolutely be embarrassed
Same boat here. I still futz with my PinePhone but mostly as a portable music/video player.

privacy nightmare
If lots of random civilians are wearing them and training them on ICE/police/fascism then the privacy nightmare might run both ways. There are a lot fewer masked enforcers than civilians. And a lot more stochastic violence in the air.
You’re lucky
I got banned with no warning or even indication what post was offensive (I was not being anything-phobic or inciting violence)
But that was lemmy.ml so I should have known

50+ Caucasian cis male multinational tech company middle manager here.
I speak Spanish on work zooms, when everyone else is in Mexico.
TBH I do it because I try to avoid being the asshole boss who everyone else has to accommodate, and instead be the pluralistic, humble boss that shows appropriate deference and respect to the employees that actually do the work.
Offense: “a bit rude”
Punishment: no job, bad references, no health insurance
We are on Lemmy
Some of us are even more niche than that
TBH I was going to say something similar, but it strikes me that using non-corporate open source social media doesn’t in any way protect you from people at a restaurant laughing filming and uploading your tragedy
And props to the dedicated folks still running Invidious instances like https://yewtu.be/
you’re gonna have to get ads
I don’t think that necessarily follows.
Have you heard of self-hosted Patreon-similar Ghost ?
Fuck GOOG for normalizing surveillance capitalism
Fuck YouTube in particular for making it basically impossible to usefully host an Invidious proxy any more and for their algorithmic manipulation
PeerTube is the Way

Listen, Trump, if you’re going to start wars with allies over made-up shit, at least threaten Japan unless & until they fix their anti-social censorship laws.
Japan would dominate the whole world if they unleashed the Pr0n Freedom
