Media Ownership

We're done. Everyone is addicted to it.

I can't even teach my family how to use a browser, or the concept of a website vs. an app.

A small nugget: I just did a Google search on a history of Trump's antisemitism, and got bombarded with government pages on his current executive orders and other stuff debunking it. Tried it in DuckDuckGo, got a pile of articles on historical/associate antisemitism.

Everyone is addicted to it.

If you've ever had to deal with an addict long term, you'll notice the initial euphoria wears off and the allure of the next high dissolves into desperation and despair.

I've actually started going to Yandex, of all places, to do my searching simply because the English language version isn't optimized to filter out older sources and jam my first few pages full of US-endorsed promoted content.
Funny enough that stuff is best to search on the ai’s right now. Ask it for its sources.
- Yeah. I had to put ChatGPT on my home screen because browser search engines are worthless now.
- I do this some with local LLM scripts, but ultimately it still has to pull sources from web search, too.
I noticed a vast change in Google search results post election, especially around anti Trump stuff. You can still find the other stuff, but it’s pages deep or you have to keep removing keywords until you get what you’re looking for.
We don't need everyone. We have lemmy.

Im so down with the bernie/luigi meme format. It fits perfectly

Back in my day the government would step in and stop the Monopoly

Hahahaha - good one
- They did! AT&T?

If only we had some kind of "fediverse", but alas...

Yeah our benevolent mememasters are apparently unaware of the cool kids table as yet.

There was another insurance CEO who was shot at: https://www.fox9.com/news/saif-chip-terhune-insurance-ceo-bullets-oregon.amp

There was a lady who tried to blow up a Tesla dealership: https://abcnews.go.com/US/woman-caught-plant-explosive-devices-tesla-dealership/story?id=119244251

Things are happening that aren’t getting attention.

Not lemmy, though!

From a .world account. Smirk
- Do oligarchs control .world?
- The issue not .world this sub is hosted there...
  
  The issue are trash mods on. Politics and news sub's who are essentially shilling neo lib DNC trash

We need more heroes.

It's such an intense reality tunnel. I don't miss it.

Hey man, don't just freely associate Luigi's image with some other cause. Don't put words in his mouth

First time seeing martyrdom?
- No but that doesn't excuse it in any way

Please everyone, get your asses on rednote. It's not perfect but it's not (currently) under control by the US oligarchy.

ETA: Are the downvotes racism or what? OP's message that the US is controlling your media has 600+ upvotes. I offer an alternative source and people don't want it? I'm genuinely confused.

Ah yes, join the Chinese platforms, they're for sure better than the Fediverse.
- Nope, but it's a good supplement to the fediverse. The rules are different over there. Some better, some worse. By getting your information through multiple diverse sources you'll have a better understanding of what's going on in the world.
