Please don’t ban me… I joined .ml because it was privacy, security and FOSS focused! I had no idea about the ancillary political focus now associated with it.

Given the reality that Linux simply isn’t viable for some people (including myself), I highly recommend using this tool.

Between this, and manually uninstalling a lot of bloat (or using a specific type of windows install) and a few other tweaks, windows becomes significantly more usable.

Disabling garbage in the task bar, removing Cortana and indexing services, etc etc, it can also add a fairly decent uplift in performance.

I’m sure there is still telemetry being collected but significantly less and less impact on my user experience and day to day performance.

Oh and make sure you turn off auto/feature updates!

I never liked Twitter to begin with, once it became an unabashed environment for hate it was a piece of cake to close my account.

I am not from Canada, but have noticed many subreddits are becoming more more toxic. Even subs that used to be somewhat reasonably moderated are nearly intolerable from the amount of trolls.

Yes and garbage subs being promoted as well… Like Outfits anD AITAH.

Reddit’s content has taken an absolute nose dive, I still lurk, but every time I think about posting, I close out the tab and leave now. The site has also become an ad filled dumpster fire.

Well, I’ve kept my reddit account as I use it occasionally from desktop… Guess it’s time to finally say goodbye.

I wondered why I was getting more political spam in my inbox for a bit…

I grew up here, have family here and have built a life here. It really is awful how much the state is being destroyed, so much has changed since 2016, it is unreal.

The propaganda has been incredibly effective here, and it is absolutely disheartening.

And here I am… I’ve never even tried it.

Well, I mean if you media is literally fictional propaganda, then maybe it should be cancelled?

I’m happy as a pig in shit now that Sync for Lemmy is out! Already paid the $20 to remove ads, love it!!!

There are so many problems with this.

Far too many homeless people, there is so much wealth in this nation, there is no reason we cannot provide ample shelter. This probably is going to continue to become worse with the disproportionate wealth distribution and the continual increase in use or automation and AI.

Additionally, we should have broader access to wifi, specifically for those who are homeless and need access to online resources, so they can eventually no longer be homeless. Seems like a great federal program opportunity, if we actually want people to be able to recover from being homeless. No one is going to become homeless or stay homeless because of the badass government subsidized wifi.

This seems incredibly self perpetuating on the cities behalf. It’s like making places uncomfortable to sleep upon… Why not invest that money into someplace people can goto sleep and get the assistance they need to exist in society.
