I exaggerated for effect, in the way that 99% sure might as well be a fact in this case:

I have never given them to YouTube, and they have no financial incentive to acquire them AFAIK - holding that kind of PI is a liability so if anything they wouldn’t want it without having a need for it. YouTube can’t even know what countries I live in, my digital identity from the POV of their servers is too fluid and non-unique for my viewing habits to meaningfully correlate; I blend in with many other people also trying to stay hidden from them.

As for other Alphabet companies, like those engaged in surveillance capitalism who want to scoop up all of the datas, it’s theoretically possible they’ve illegally acquired them from third parties and found a use for it, but there’s just no feasible way they could associate that with most of my online activities, say, this account I’m using. The only people who have a chance at that are certain state intelligence agencies who are eavesdropping the wires, and they have much bigger problems they’re paid to worry about. Hell, unless things have gotten better for them since Snowden, even they might struggle - most of their super cool hacker shit is only really useful if someone’s worth active targeting.

They quite literally don’t have my credit card information. What are you even trying to say here?

Personally, considering I can get it for free, and that Google bad, $22 is a bad deal for me. I’d rather donate $20 to the groups helping us get around it, and spend the other $2 on jawbreakers!

Also relevant:

• alternate frontends (e.g. Invidious and Piped)
• yt-dlp🔗 (youtube downloader, can also be used to stream videos into players like mpv)

I really doubt they’re trolling, it’s a real question. A person can clearly fit between the gaps and sleep.

It would block things like tents and mattresses, but it’s reasonable [edit: even if ignorant] to ask how it works if it doesn’t obstruct a sleeping person. For what it’s worth, in my city, it’s rare to see tents or even mattresses, usually just blankets and shopping carts.

Try sleeping on them and report back to us.

No need for that kind of talk, it’s as pointless as saying “Go there and prove you can’t sleep on them”.

Yet they still block every single gun control measure that comes up.

That’s not quite true: they selectively block gun control measures. For example: they put through the Mulford Act, a gun control measure, because black activists started arming themselves.

Named after Republican assemblyman Don Mulford and signed into law by governor of California Ronald Reagan, the bill was crafted with the goal of disarming members of the Black Panther Party, which was conducting armed patrols of Oakland neighborhoods in what would later be termed copwatching.

Both Republicans and Democrats in California supported increased gun control, as did the National Rifle Association of America.

They’re less “pro-gun” and more “we should have guns”, and I think that difference is important to emphasize in liberal society.

You responded to a FANTASTIC explanation of the difference by splitting hairs on what by your definition qualifies as a class.

A fantastic explanation? It literally isn’t an explanation, it’s a comparison of two statements. Which is fine, and so is the critique of those statements to examine their perceived contradictions.

From the perspective of the CPC and Marxist-Leninist theory, their ruling party represents the working class, just like our ruling parties represent the owner class of CEOs. [wikipedia page: DotP] Obviously that’s a contested claim which not even all Marxists will agree with, but it’s far from splitting hairs. It’s the basic foundation of the comparison, the implicit claim that one is a working class act and the other is not.

The authorization of CEO execution sounds like a good thing. People are clearly singing for it, so why not make it policy?

Tigers are female lions.

It’s treading new ground, assassinations of non-politician US citizens usually aren’t this popular so it contradicts many assumptions made when deciding rules. A site like reddit has to please its advertisers and investors, so they will ultimately side with the rich owning class, but may not want to risk banning huge parts of their userbase.

censored

A very vague term on its own. Censoring what? The communist instances (e.g. lemmygrad) will ban racism and xenophobia to an extent that many people don’t even understand how what they said was interpreted as xenophobic, but will let you post “I want to torture every billionaire in the world” and post footage of the assassination with no problem, while liberalist instances who allow more general liberty are often more scared to host endorsement of violence (e.g. lemmy.world).

All completely “free speech” platforms inevitably become safe havens for people unable to hold conversations (as in, medically delusional), ad spam, neo-Nazis, and child abusers who get kicked from every other forum. So you really need to be more specific when talking about what you consider censorship and what you consider common sense.

Their account is on lemmy.world so I’m not sure how it would be treated. We, however, are not.

* ahem *

Rhetoric: down with the bourgeoisie, eat the rich, sodomize the land-owners, impale all people who have more than 25 reál in their pocket, literally murder all human beings regardless of their political beliefs.

Antz was released the same year so it’s less a sequel and more a competitor. As for economic class oppression themes, it goes even further.

It is not. It’s a scene from A Bug’s Life.

I don’t think Lemmy is the right place for sharing the anti-semetic Happy Merchant caricature.

what crazy new one AI could dream up but at a level that would require it to actually think and not regurgitate some LLM data it scraped.

A LLM wouldn’t be useful but I wonder how far this can be done without AI (machine learning) technology, just programmatically like with protein folding simulations.

It’s fan art of the show’s characters. (Incidentally, many shows have official comic adaptations anyway)

Ever considered it might lead people to the wrong person?

Not sure who these ‘people’ are, or how the given image could possibly do that, but considering that obstruction of this investigation is cool and productive I fail to see the problem.

Forget.

About.

Him.

hahaha

NO.

They are a hero. They deserve celebration, commemoration and to hold a clear place in the minds of citizens, like the myth of Robin Hood once did. Remember him.

What harmful information does that famous video frame shown supply, and who is it being supplied to?
