Is Thunderbird Mail safe to use privacywise?
  • Mozilla's telemetry change in Thunderbird Android makes me say "find a different client."

    Generally, you should pick and choose your battles. Mozilla on the whole isn't a company whose software I trust anymore.

  • Easier to quit; last time ATCs went on strike Reagan just fired them all

  • Trump-Elon AI Foot Video - NSFW?

    I want this to be a discussion. I'm sure everyone has seen this video by now, and I wanted to ask what people think about the prospect of labeling this sort of stuff as NSFW.

    My opinion is that this is just AI-generated softcore porn. The "ethics" of making such a video notwithstanding (Stirner save me,) if such a video was posted in the news of say... Tulsi Gabbard kissing Melania Trump's feet, everyone would immediately recognize it as pornography. This instance, being explicitly SFW, should condemn the sharing of this video on the instance and any future videos or images like it. The liberal news media loves promoting shocking images that they can get away with, especially when it has a heavy serving of homophobia on the side, and clearly they are just getting away with spreading images of sofcore porn all over. Fuck them.

    I also would like to hear people's opinions on if we should start demanding other instances mark videos and images of a similar nature as NSFW, because frankly, I don't wanna see this shit when I open Lemmy. I certainly don't wanna see it 10 FUCKING TIMES either.

    Bluesky Deletes AI Protest Video of Trump Sucking Musk's Toes, Calls It 'Non-Consensual Explicit Material' (Update: After this article was published, Bluesky restored the post)
  • Yeah. The means must absolutely align with the ends, and this video reeks of privileged white guy mad that he got his cushy desk job in DC ripped out from under him.

    Whoever made this shit is no comrade and I'm sick of liberals sharing this everywhere

  • France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU.
  • This is why I don't trust anyone who says to use EU software over American software. Hey stupid, it's all run by capital, and they all wanna stick their nose into your private life.

  • Firefox now has Terms of Use! This'll go over like a lead balloon
  • Capital is the problem, not nationality.

  • Egg prices expected to rise more than 40 percent in 2025

  • Yup! It's a global company, unionized with UAW in the US, and generally the best (aside from their awful repair policies)

  • These uh... aren't laws. They're community guidelines. I think one does not have to get so anal about preserving the rights of vulnerable people while also maintaining an "even application" because they're two different situations.

    Not even the law is black and white, it's still tweaked and interpreted by judges and lawyers. It's obvious that AI-generated pornography of women in political office is completely different from a video of a fascist dictator making out with the feet of another fascist. Get your head checked.

  • What censorship do they even mean??? There's everything from super liberal .world to Grad to anarchist db0 to actual straight up Naziverse instances. What possible censorship could they be talking about?

  • Mutual aid spam is becoming a problem on the Fediverse.
  • Mutual aid is not giving random internet assholes money because they begged for it. I'm not saying they should be banned from doing so, but calling it mutual aid is 100% a scam. Mutual aid is given freely, within a pre-established network.

    Hosting a friend on your couch for a week cause they're in between apartments is mutual aid. Feeding your friends without expecting anything in return is mutual aid. Enabling e-begging is not mutual aid.
