This is scary #1984 stuff. BigCorp is controlling what #ads (the type of ad) you see on your TV based on what you pay.

and its here today thanks to #bigCorp and the conservatives.

@georgetakei
people just can't get it, he is completely unfit for the job unless this is the job "they(bigCorp,conservative,GOP)" want done.
Again I ask;
if he is NOT a #bigCorp asset bent on destroying our democratic government, what would he be doing differently if he WAS working in service of the bigCorps.
You can use russian instead of bigCorp if that helps you to understand the problem.

When I think of side-hustles by rich folks, I think of folks that are actors or #bigCorp CEO pretending to know how to run a #democracy, or any #government for that matter, and failing;
Not folks that are using their skills in another gig in their field.

Those are the choices the bigCorp gave you but they are NOT your only choices.
You dont need to "recycle" the whole computer!
Words matter.
You need to change only the #os ,replace it with a version of #Linux.
They, the #bigCorp, are assuming that you unable to learn something new.
You either can make things happen for you or you can let things happen to you.

I really want to know who they thought they were looping in.
since nobody was missed and nobody expected the reporter to say anything, nor did they ask any question of the reporter.
my guess, they were looping in their handler in #russia or some other #bigCorp CEO.

I have a good friend, for real, that is slowly going #blind. Is there a good plugin for #thunderbird
to read emails without involving a #bigCorp ?
I'm thinking of
1) Open email in window,
2) click button that says "read aloud"
She is not blind yet, this would be like training wheels to get her use to using a screen reader while she can still see a little.
The #fascist #bigCorp #aristocracy does not want you to hear this,
we the people can use science to understand mother nature and we can let her do her work without paying a bigCorp. We should invest in science not censor science.

The citizens of the Czech Republic learned to cooperate with Mother Nature. They let beavers restore a damaged wetlands.
A small investment of tax money in science prevented a huge bill from a bigCorp.
learn to cooperate not compete.

think like #bigcorp and the answer is obvious. I've had store ask, on a 18.15 bill if I want to round up to 19$.
some places now want direct access to you bank account so they can just take what ever they want. price increases are automatically added.

@petergleick
thanks, I glad to see a media outlet actually print what he says verbatim.
The #bigCorp media needs to stop rewriting what he says.

This is the kind of lesson we should be learning, #bigCorp is not doing us any favors by concentrating the egg manufacturing to only a few mega operations.
We need #diversity
in all things, including our food productions.
#decentralize production in every field not just computers.

This toot was clearly from Tuta and is an info-mercal but it does contain a significant amount of useful information for general use.
TL;DR
most bigCorp email contain an image that is very small, 1x1 pixel.
When you open the email your email manager will request the image and at that point the #bigCorp knows where you are and you are giving them information to identify you in the future.
A few months ago there was a firefox update that introduced AI something something and there were a bunch of people posting about what to turn off and how. (
)
I have since had another firefox update and an android update, and y'all I am so fucking tired of this world. I want to escape this shit so badly but I don't have the mental energy to keep up with this shitshow. 
What's the plan? We're all gonna turn off those features with every update? Are there add-ons for this already? Do I need a monthly scheduled anti-ai checklist?

I think that over 100 years is enough time to allow #bigCorp to see the problem and to let #freeMarket forces produce a solution.
Its time to some good old fashion #democracy to take over, We need to put some regulation on how the #bigCorps function.
It is clear that the freemarket #billionaires needs some guidance and guardrails.
#democracy is more than how we vote!
@shanesemler Unfortunately, as long as bigots and hate mongers exist, those sentiments will find their way to the #internet.
The key is not to nuke the entire #web but rather take control away from #bigtech #politicians and #bigcorp and curate your own #online experience. Engage with what you want and block anything you don't. Keep your private #data private.
As of now, the best way to do that is through #fediverse #rss and #opensource.

I saw someone on #bigCorp #media call the LA fires a "natural disaster".
WRONG
This was brought to us by #greed, #hubris and bad planning.
Where are the rich standing in front of their multi-million burned out mansions say "if this can happen to me it can happen to anyone, we need to do something about this".
understanding how data privacy works: TLDR; there is none.
Its interesting how folks with advanced degrees still dont understand that #bigCorp keeps all your data.
Here is a story about ms.dumbass, not her real name, tried to hide evidence of her wrong doing by dropping her phone in the bathtub.
The lack of #privacy cuts both ways. This time is was a good thing. Who should decide?
