As a climate scientist who has warned about the threat of climate change for decades, I think the fact that we just saw what was probably the hottest day in recorded history, and probably in thousands of years, is deserving of attention...

@petergleick You would think. Instead eyes are on social media #threads #twitter #mastodon #tiktok #reddit

And they said #TikTok was mass surveillance #spyware masquerading as a social media app! #Threads is the same thing!

Dass die EU-Kommission die Totalüberwachung und digitale
Kontrolle im Internet genauso wie im Alltag, an ihren Außengrenzen zur Bekämpfung von fliehenden Menschen und im Inneren u.a. für den Datenkapitalismus weiter ausbaut, ist nichts Neues. Nicht nur besteht sie aus stramm neoliberalen, autoritären Politiker*innen, die schon zuvor immer wieder mit repressiven Vorhaben angekommen sind, es geht allgemein mit dem Überwachungs- und Krisenkapitalismus auch eine autoritäre Transformation einher.

Als Antiautoritäre stellen wir uns diesen Entwicklungen und Allen, die sie voranbringen wollen, entschlossen entgegen!

Ein kleiner Einblick über #Tiktok Gefahren für Kinder und Jugendliche, u.a. #radikalisierung und #SocialMediaSucht

Wenn ihr Tiktok auf den Geräten eurer Kinder oder Schüler verhindern könnt, dann ist das eine gute Sache.

Und da das Posten von Content von anderen Plattformen recht mühsam ist, gibt es diesen hier als Fotostrecke.

The discussion about #Oppenbarbie vs. #Barbenheimer (i.e. whether you watch #Oppenheimer first or #Barbie first in the #DoubleFeature) is in my opinion not conducted seriously enough in the #Fediverse (compared to e.g. on #TikTok). I am very disappointed, because the topic is so important.

If you bought a that has an issue when the vendor is not available, YOU did the mistake with your choice for this product.

If you bought a lawnmower robot that doesn't work when its vendor is out of business, you did the mistake.

If you bought a computer whose vendor collects your data in his cloud ➡️ your mistake.

I can go on like that forever.

YOU need to accept the obvious downsides when you once took the very clear risk.

Addendum: if you made your product choice without thinking about potential risks, YOU do have a problem anyway.

In that case, you really should think of asking independent experts before buying very complex products that may cause you issues in the long run.

Btw, experts are constantly warning of #cloud services that are harming your #privacy (in a very subtle form!) including cloud-based #password managers, #macOS, #iOS, #facebook, #TikTok, ...

It's YOUR data and YOUR future. 😉

Going to watch the first #anime made specifically for #TikTok tonight — "Otakuchanzu" aka Otaku-Chans!

Is this a questionable decision? Probably! But I wanna get caught up on episodes since there will supposedly be 80 of them so...

Honestly I miss old fandom spaces. It feels like all the old ones like tumblr n twitter are slowly dying.
Which u know is fine, nothing last forever and all that. But nothing else has taken their places.
:blobCatOhNo: #fandom

Moid,

@drowsychaotic very true and it can be difficult finding a good fandom space. It's why I joined #mastodon as a #socialmedia. When I left my ex I gave up facebook entirely and I've never been a fan of Twitter nor Instagram. I love the lack of algorithm on here compared to #tiktok or such. #discord and here work nicely together. I get the media part here and the social part of discord
