Duckduckgo has had a star in my book until recently. Because they have been dishonest about their tracking. They do enable Microsoft trackers. But if I have understood it correctly, this is only the case for their apps.

Faces potentially a large fine. Im sure facebook’s government contacts can explain how their spying on children wasnt really that serious or even spying at all.
Articles like this creates the illusion that facebook can be held accountable. But really, what we need is for everybody to realize that facebook is just a unnessecary middleman.
Https rewards bloat. We should pick protocols that is simpler to develop for.
Thats got to be the best pirate I’ve ever seen!
I like lagrange for browsing the web on desktop and I use deedum on my phone.
Because the fediverse has no vision.
The norwegian mastodon instance https://snabelen.no has also increased it’s userbase dramatically. From having 100 active users to 250 active users. I don’t know how many new accounts has been created. I have also seen a new norwegian instance being created with 6 registered users.
Could you elaborate about features you like about this language? I have never heard of it before.
I think it is great that you bring up lojban. This brings more nuance to the discussion.
I have not looked into lojban, could you describe some of the features you like that esperanto lacks?
I’ll look into it myself to get some impressions.
But that being said, constructed languages like these are very easy to learn. I don’t necessarily believe that we should only embrace a single conlang. Each language might have their own unique advantage over other constructed languages.
There is a serious argument to make lojban the lingua-franca of the EU, to replace English. This would abort the erosion of the local languages. If the EU mandates that everybody learns lojban at school instead of english, it becomes a common second-language to everyone and a first language to no-one. Much more satisfactory situation.
Could you give an article on this? Sounds potentially very interesting.
I guess it all comes down to that esperanto is a more inclusive language. It requires much less time investment to learn the language, so it could give people in the global south a lot more visibility and attention. And even more so if we can decentralize and distribute the web.
That is false. Esperanto is eurocentric. Thats true. But the reason it is so easy to learn is not because it is a merge of european languages. Rather it is because it is consistent and its many elements which by design makes the language easy to learn.
In contrast, english is consistently inconsistent and thus makes it very hard to learn. The pronounciation changes depending on the words. The morphemes are inconsistent.
I believe the best way to ensure freedom over our music is to allow emigration without loosing your music collection. Not securing this freedom, will create needless dependency to the distributor.
If you leave spotify you loose your music collection. Even if you have spent hundreds of bucks on the service. In contrast, services like bandcamp allows you to download your music. So if you one day figure you want to ditch the service for something better, at least that won’t be an headache.
Its fair to criticize me for using the term tankies. What is a better term for one who support these countries?
The problem with lemmy right now is that there are too few instances. The instances that has momentum has a strong tankies presence which a lot of people are uncofortable with. The most natural answer would be for them to create their own instance, but they chose to leave the platform instead 🤯
Me personally, I’ve realized how much my perception of socialist countries has been warped by capitalist propaganda and I’m reluctant about believing anything that western media says about these countries.
