AI Slop isn’t the only thing ruining my internet experience. Humans can also be garbage, looking at you influencers. AI Gamer Friends seems actually practical for being able to play multiplayer solo though.
I find it comforting knowing that streamers are raging at children online, everyone gets to eat the shit-sandwhich including them lmao.
Y’all can use LibreWolf or BestHomePageEver if it really bugs somebody. I do get being annoyed by shortcut ads though.
Self Moderated is just fine. Why do I need to doxx myself to be online? I’m not giving away my birth certificate or SSN just to post on social media that idea is crazy lmao.
Yeah unfortunately we get to live through this nightmare even if you didn’t vote for it. Best tip is to not use US services as payback. Use a VPN if necessary.
There used to be a way to make Google accounts with no number but that’s probably been patched. I generally refuse to add numbers if I can help it.
Proton, Mailbox & fastmail are all good options. Best way to avoid it is self-hosting but that is beyond most people (as in time-consuming).
If they made it so your average joe could contribute to the Fediverse with their own hardware I’d contribute. Tired of seeing social media be owned by Billionares.
Man I don’t want a future where we doxx ourselves to just be on a PC. Its insane that parents think real ID for gaming is a good idea. Linux might be the only way to escape any of this in the near future.
This is why I installed Linux once M$ started forcing AI everywhere. Stealing my data should not be the goal of any operating system.
