Just found a couple of user accounts created on my Pleroma instance that very clearly are aimed to be used for some kind of marketing.
Rather than just ban them for this and remove the accounts, Iβve set them up to be sort of shadow banned so i can monitor what they try to get up to in the future.
βMarketresearchfuture .comβ seems to be what they are trying to promote at the moment.

Whats so interesting about this βdemocrat influencerβ dark money, compared to the similar russian backed support of right wing influencers: The democrat money paid WAY less money, and had actual restrictions on what the people accepting funds could and could not say.
So the fascists basically just find people who already are working their agenda and just give them money. While the Corporatists will find people whos views arenβt too left wing and will then give them a contract to make sure they continue to not be too left wing or mention anything too βsocalistβ (and donβt even think about mentioning Palestine). And not even allowed to disclose any of it.
My profile banner is now an animated gif because TIL you can do that.
@xbyte1024 @stux Just the UI is not open source, which is a very small amount of the entire code base. While i do think its a valid point to raise against it, I also think they have a pretty valid explanation for why it is so: https://vivaldi.com/blog/technology/why-isnt-vivaldi-browser-open-source/
@GuyDudeman cβmon bro just a few more dollars bro, Iβll totally get you back by stopping fascism next time bro, please bro, cβmon why canβt you just help us out this one time, i swear its a big deal, really its gonna happen, any day now.
Is there some version of linux that just accepts PIP as a valid pacakge installer? Not that i want it to, but seems like every tutorial or suggesion i get uses βpip install this that theotherβ and on both Arch and Debian based systems installing systemwide from pip is a no-go.
Where does this assumption that people can just install from PIP system wide come from that its so prolific?
@stux This is why i donβt get people just blanked rejecting Vivaldi (or any other half decent browsers) because its βjust chromeβ. I get being unhappy with the overall situation of everything being chrome based, but is being chrome based really that different from being based on a browser that is 90% dependent on google for its support anyway?
And then on top of depending on google for financing, theyβve just been actively making their browser more bloated for at least the past decade. Vivaldi by comparison Theyβve committed to not shoveling in AI, they operate a mastodon instance and are active on fediverse, has a built in ad and tracking blocker, and no built in crypto garbage.
Another exciting episode of Burning Things That Look Like Flags That Arenβt Actually Flags. Enjoy.
But donβt you get it?! The magical voice in @Jimmy βs head told him its true so clearly it must be so.
Is it just me or is the whole βbe the way god made youβ and other βgod doesnt make mistakesβ kind of takes even more offensive then just being outright mean about it?

I know thoughts and prayers donβt usually work, but it seems like Donald Trump is in increasingly poor health these days, It certainly wouldnβt hurt for us all to just collectively and repeatedly hope that he dies.
Its interesting how AI slop music can be both very good at emulating common types of sounds/vocals, but still be incredibly obvious that itβs AI slop about every time. I mean within 2-3 bars i can tell in most cases.
Maybe I just havenβt heard a βgoodβ AI generated track but honestly to me they all sound like a lower quality MP3 playing over the radio, it sounds like a good imitation of what music is, but its for lack of a better term βsoullessβ
