  • More users will hopefully mean more people finding and reporting edge cases which will lead to better software. Open source is great because anyone can improve it and everyone has the changes if accepted by the developers.

  • Spoiler alert:

    He already crawled back.

    Never give any of Elon Musk's companies a dime or your time. Twitter is the worst one I think especially because Grok is now trained to repeat right-wing nonsense. I hope no one here is still on Twitter and I hope everyone you know in your personal life is also off that horrible website. If you know someone still using it tell them to switch to an alternative like Bluesky or Mastodon.

  • Where can I find DNS denylists for Musk, Trump-owned businesses?

    Jump

  • I tried researching this and wasn't able to find an exact match for your question.

    However I can say blocking hate websites and fake news websites helps stop Trump because it's part of his pillars of support for power.

    I think the best one I found so far is this which seems well maintained and current: https://github.com/sefinek/Sefinek-Blocklist-Collection it has a hate category and a fake news category.

    Then you can supplement the lists and block the main Trump and Musk websites by searching for Donald Trump for Trump's websites and block the SpaceX, Twitter, Tesla, Neuralink and Boring Company websites.

    The first one I found when searching for this was this blocklist which targets hate websites, propaganda websites and "alt-tech" websites (meaning things like far-right social media) but it's a little old. It seems they used some kind of automated method to find subdomain names. I don't know where they would have got this:

     
        
0.0.0.0 5iisjztgyz.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org
0.0.0.0 5x0eggbvlm.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org
0.0.0.0 6hwzzfs2iy.this_is_research.next_query.is_from_us.if_problem.please_see.http.researchscan.cs.berkeley.edu.stormfront.org

    To be fair the domain name is a hate website, it's just the subdomain part is of course useless here.

    I haven't closely reviewed the domain names on these lists but a quick glance of these lists makes me think it's overall pretty accurate. If you encounter a website you cannot visit you can always unblock it and create an issue on Github.

  • Amazon Doubles Prime Video Ads Per Hour

    Jump

  • Amazon funded Trump's inauguration, they've doubled their advertisements, they mistreat their warehouse workers, for people who don't use Amazon often you're paying more money than you'd spend on just paying for shipping on the occasion you need fast shipping or if you don't need fast shipping you can still get free shipping if your order is more than the threshold which I think depends on your account might be $25 or $35.

    Given all these things I really hope no one is subscribing to Amazon prime. I'd highly recommend anyone who uses Amazon prime to cancel it. Being shown advertisements on something you're paying for is insane. This should be the final straw for any Amazon Prime customer.

  • I just read an argument today about not focusing on every little thing Trump says and instead coming in when there's going to be real negative repercussions. The reason why is because when journalists repeat the lies of Trump, people even those who are clearly against Trump may accidentally internalize one of his lies through no fault of their own.

  • The message the TikTok app displays stoops to a new low to pander to Trump.

    It's no wonder why Trump all of a sudden wants to "save" TikTok:

    Mark Zuckerberg says anyone who quits Meta is 'virtue signaling'

    Jump

  • Just so you all know the New York Post is a Rupert Murdoch (same person who owns Fox News) rag. According to Wikipedia it wasn't profitable from 1976 to 2022 perhaps even loosing up to $70 million a year. The reason why he ran it at a loss for so long is for influence. Prior to Murdoch's acquisition the "Post was seen to have liberal tilt, supporting trade unions and social welfare". Now it's a conservative trash rag.

  • There is hope. If you read the polls section of the article you will notice that the ruling was very unpopular among people of both parties (among common people, of course I feel that Republicans in office don't agree with their constituents). I think now is the time for a strong campaign fiance reform push. If we can't get it done at the federal level we shall try the state level.
