What are y'all's best #alternatives to #bigcorp platforms ?
Mine so far are:
Reddit #Lemmy
Instagram #Pixelfed (does anyone know how to make it work on mobile?? ToT )
+ #Mastodon, #Signal, #Matrix, #Stremio , #Revanced
And I made a switch to #Linux
Curious to know about any hidden gems!
PS: Do you guys have any plan B for upcoming Android shut down? -
@itsweezie
The real questions here are;How will he be held accountable for this?
What changes are being made so next time we learn about this before the election is held?
What changes are being made so others dont feel they can do the same thing?
Will the #Democrats learn anything and will the #bigCorp media report it?
-
@paninid
this should be extended to include #bigCorp
Whatever we allow a big corporation ...
They are the ones taking your privacy and rights away.
We can stop a democratic government from abusing us by voting. It was designed that way.That is why the billionaires/bigCorps have been working on destroying our democracy first.
Think about the take over of the media; see 60 minutes last night.

The best analogy I have heard of is;
"its the asbestos of the technology world, we will be removing and remediating it for generations to come."

#democracy is more than voting! we-the-people need to control what #bigCorp does. -

"The net result is that a huge number of our leaders are essentially stealing money, but they can't withdraw the money directly, so they have to spend the organization's capital on expensive nonsense to purchase status then convert that status into a better salary somewhere else at a really, really bad exchange rate."
I realized that in a lot of companies. Management doesn't have technical skill and doesn't understand what they're selling. So it's impossible to create a good (technical) strategy on how to sell their product. Plus, that would be slow (even though it ensures long-term stability).
The result is "networking", self-promotion, and short-term increases of stock price (e.g. by firing people aka decreasing costs), then jumping to the next company.

@Techmeme
yea, and you point is???I'm looking for the last time apple passed on their #republican #bigcorp tax cuts to the consumers.
I'm looking for a negative surcharge fee add to my bill from any corp and cant find one.

@gottalaff.bsky.social
I saw the conservatives are disobeying 1/2 but was it providing only 1/2 of what they need to the people or is it only 1/2 the people what they need.Words matter and the important part is they are disobeying the order.
That should be a punishable offense.The #bigCorp media needs to starting doing their job and asking these questions.

False claim: "If the Democratic party does not get off the #bigCorp bandwagon and start working for the people, then they are little different than the Republicans."
Facts: This is what Republicans did and Democrats would not do:
Appoint rightwing nuts to the Supreme Court.
Deport many good people based on their race.
Make abortion illegal nationwide.
Attack nations such as Venezuela for no good reason.
Cause friends such as Canadians to hate us.
Send soldiers to patrol our cities. etc. 2/2 -

Facts: This is what Republicans did and Democrats would not do:
Alienate friendly nations including Canada, Australia, and European nations.
Pass a law cutting Medicaid and using that money for more tax cuts for billionaires.
Sell pardons to dangerous criminals.
Given pardons to criminals who attacked the police on #January6th. 1/2 -
@RonSupportsYou @renewedresistance
we should be reminded of an old saying:
You cann't make improvements without making changes but not all changes are improvements.We-the-people need to hear what is going to be changed, not just that changes are going to be make.
If the democratic party does not get off the #bigCorp bandwagon and start working for the people then they are little different than the republicans; they use softer language but we all will continue to loose.
-
@RonSupportsYou
I agree; I didnt mean it to be taken so literally. Unless you have a JAG officer assigned to you you have no way of knowing.
but I do think the media and by extension everyone should be thinking about this. The GOP and their #bigCorp backers along with the corporate dems and working hard to destroy our democracy and replace it with a feudal system of government.
Do we have to wait until the conservatives are killing in our streets. They are already denying health care and food. -
@karlauerbach
We need to stop calling it a ball room.He is building a memorial to himself, like the Lincoln or washington memorial.
I wouldnt be surprised if the title to it is in the tRump #bigCorp name with a 1$ land lease agreement.
That way when we reestablish our democracy in this country we will have to pay him before it can be torn down or repurposed into a food bank and community health service center.

@quasirealsmiths
The rapture might have happened, I see all the #bigCorp #conservatives are still here. -
@RealJournalism
All of these issues are opposed by the #bigCorp and until we can remove the bigCorporate democrats and get some real progressive democrats in office we will continue to loose. and we need them in all offices not just the top offices. They will need support. That mean school boards, city and county boards, advisory committees, planning commissions, AG, etc.
and we need honorable people serving. That is a quality in short supple right now. -
@juliusgoat.bsky.social
we are also being trained to confuse economic efficiency with public service effectiveness.efficient health care is every doctor and nurse making money for a #bigCorp and making more money every hour.
effective health care is doctors and nurses with little to do but ready and trained to handle emergencies when they arise.
-
keep in mind that #bigCorp is paying both parties so why do we expect a different outcome.
We need progressive people, not dem or rep but people that understand what democracy means, its not just how we vote.
How we get it I have no idea but lets talk like is a possibility and maybe we can come up with something.
-
@grimalkina
What you are talking about is CURES for diseases. #bigCorp doesn't want cures, they want treatments. There is more profit in treatments.
Develop a treatment once and profit forever.
Science is providing cures and thus they attack science.People want cures, that is why bigCorp is killing the democracy, all democracies ; corporate rules not people rules.
#democracy is more than voting.

@horstworst @fox
I will avoid everything this corp is trying to sell."Note: The invited persons do not need a Flow+ subscription."
how nice, but they still are required to allow the bigCorp app behind their firewall on their computer or phone.
they still have theproblem of what happens when their phone dies while on a ride.
and all the other problems that folks have mentioned.#bigCorp will kill us all.

Modern day parable about fishing
🧵 2/2
The #bigCorp want us to do nothing and wait till some magicCorp shows up to sell us a fish.
What you really need is a fishing pole!
FLOSS [Free/Libre Open Source Software] is the fishing pole but you still need to learn how to use it. Nothing is free/gratis!
You won't learn it in a day but you will learn something every day. -
Modern day parable about fishing
If you are hungry and
• accept a fish that is a one-time solution to your problem; but its not sustainable or reliable or repeatable.
• buy a fish, that doesn’t solve the problem either. You have moved the problem from needing a fish to needing money to buy a fish.
What you need is to learn how to fish.We forget this in the conservative #bigCorp world of today.

@betterworld @freerange @Veggies @workers_coop @coop @limeleaf @nubo_coop @ouvaton @sociality
its sad but not surprising that the #GOP, #conservative and the #bigCorp media has not given this news of the #UN year-of-the-coop any coverage.
Lets see some articles on who and what are people doing to advance the #coop as an alternate business plan to VC funded big corps.

LLMs are the junk food of the internet : everyone’s consuming them, whether it’s nutritious or not.
So here’s a spicy thought:
Should we keep screaming “Ban the bots, block the crawlers, burn the models”?
Or should we "as engineers" do what we do best : build better things. Maybe create content that actually improves what these glorified autocomplete machines learn.
Because let’s face it : LLMs are here to stay. Not because they’re perfect. But because someone threw a billion dollars at them and now they need ROI like oxygen.
Policy folks can debate whether we should have LLMs.
As an engineer, I’m asking : if they’re unavoidable, do we make the flood smarter, or keep yelling at the dam?
Thoughts? Resist, block, or reluctantly refine?
-
@CelloMomOnCars
That is really scary; "From May 2023 through April 2024, Beaufort experienced 26 days of flooding. Carolina Beach flooded 65 days. And, “all the time” in Sea Level equated to 128 days of flooding. That’s one-third of the year, or once every three days"This shows the need for more #science numbers and less "official numbers".
and it shows the need for better informed voters! #bigCorp
media is having an effect and its all bad.#democracy is more than voting

But will the #bigCorp
Dems actually do their job and represent the people. They are being paid by the same folks that are funding the #gop -

@AkaSci
I remember, a long time ago, when we started to have fuel efficiency standards. The Japanese hired well educated engineers to solve the fuel efficiency problem, the US #bigCorp hired lawyers and lobbyist to go to DC to have our laws changed.It is still going on today and in all areas of business.
Want a present day example.
our gov gives more grants to bigCorp for 4 wheel electric cars but not to #aptera which has a well designed 3 wheel electric car....because it has 3 wheels. -

A nice textbook description of how #tariff work; not related to what #HomoStupidus is proposing.We live in a world of crony #capitalism, #bigCorp monopoly controlled economies run by mendacious narcissistic sociopaths where words don't mean anything.
This "tariff" is a con to repressively tax the little guy, to make it appear that we can then give the billionaires another #taxcut and allow them to increase profits, raise prices and concentrate more wealth.

one of the goals of #tRumpism is to prevent individuals from suing #bigcorp. but in their fight to establish their #feudal governments they are suing.
"...[t]hese crypto coiners have found themselves at the centre of political intrigue and have had to resort to suing Honduras through the investor-state dispute settlement, a little-known but central component of global capitalism’s neoliberal bureaucracy. "...

@hart
I think that over 100 years is enough time to allow #bigCorp to see the problem and to let #freeMarket forces produce a solution.Its time to some good old fashion #democracy to take over, We need to put some regulation on how the #bigCorps function.
It is clear that the freemarket #billionaires needs some guidance and guardrails.

#cinequest is back in San Jose, CA USA again this year. 🎞 Mar 11-23
I worked with them last year and had a great time. Lots of #independent #movies, so much better than the #bigCorp studio ones. -
how about the #moralhazard of a corporation/bank to not make loans that can not be repaid or bigCorps to take excess profits or pay low wages because of monopoly control of a market.
Being spared from their own responsibilities, #bigCorp might continue to take #excessive profits from future folks that are just trying to live.

The #bigCorp media has been doing that for him for years. They usually dont play #tRump clips verbatim. they paraphrase him so that he sounds more reasonable.
They are cleaning up his speech.That is why he can claim that, it his normal #projection and #confession .
It bothers him that it is not necessary for VP #Harris. She speaks in complete sentences and can make a #cogent argument. (Appealing to the intellect or powers of reasoning; convincing: synonym: valid.
"a cogent argument.") -

An interesting report from our Federal Trade Commission #FTC, one of our oversight commission that the #conservative want to destroy,
