It's ironic to see those same global elites who love partying with the likes of known & convicted child sex-trafficker Jeffrey #Epstein now urging worldwide restrictions on E2E / #VPN & promoting age, biometric, and identity verification online - all in the name of protecting children

It’s also highly suspicious that so many of the world’s biggest countries
are trying to implement this wider #internet control at the same time.

Feels like a major push toward #authoritarianism to me.

@Mastodon That t-shirt fits so well with this actually: https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/116381133582413117

@Mastodon @imanijoy Looking forward to it, going to miss the nerdy outlay but a cleaner design like dat is probably better in the long run, especially for UX :)

Honestly I don't even know where to start, just speechless.

This is just sooo bad 😡

#TikTok and #Meta = pure evil:

"maximizes profits at the expense of their audience's wellbeing"

"told us that it's because the stock price is down"

"maintain a strong relationship" with political figures to avoid threats of regulation or bans"

"advice to parents with children using TikTok is: "Delete it, keep them as far away as possible from the app for as long as possible"

The #US & #Israel now really have a friend in #Tehran.

In strikes #Mojtaba was wounded, while his father, wife and other family members were likely killed.

This new #Ayatollah guy is going to be super sympathetic to them!

They truly must have achieved their #war goal...

In case you haven't heard it, there is that old saying in #Iran:

"Kill somebody's family and (only) wife,
make a friend for life"

"Hearts and minds" eh?

🚨 🚨 🚨 Exclusive: Iranian Shahed Drone Strike on S-Hotel in Bahrain's Capital Manama 🔥

Casualties are unknown. Emergency services are working on the scene.

Let's hope nobody was hurt!

The final convulsions of the Ayatollah #Khamenei regime before his reign ended?

#Ayatollah Khamenei is reportedly dead!

#Telegram seems trapped between a rock & a cold place.

First #Europe targeted the messenger; now it's #Russia.

Rumors are spreading of a complete ban effective April 1 (not an April Fools' joke ;)

Meanwhile, just like in #France, the company is giving in to #government demands.

Many view this as an attempt to push users toward VK #MAX (a state-backed #WeChat-like #app).

Is #Threads even still trying to federate?

✅ They changed their .net domain to .com: https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/115871208581092120

✅ They have not continued federating, it's still a one way road of
Fediverse traffic moving to Threads:
https://mastodon.social/@madeindex/112553443779869972

✅ There haven't been any changes since I can remember & it's always been in "Beta".

✅ The only "change" I have noticed is a spam notification before every! post "Continue sharing to the #Fediverse?"

@tomoki looking sharp <3

You could try one of those arms for screens!

I also see that you are a fellow #Eizo enthusiast, are they still #MadeinJapan?

How is their curved screen?

@tomoki I'm also going to be switching to wireless, how do you like it so far? :)

@steter I thought you refer to Putin, you mean Trump?

@steter who is that Russian?

@helplessduck paid only VPN: @mullvadnet , free and paid vpn: @riseup or @protonprivacy I think
