that’s a realistic personal fear.

i do mean grassroots change as in people being the change to see in the world. while i’m certain this needs protection from any sabotage (see american interventionism) i know it needs to be an empathic core of pacifism at heart where conflict doesn’t entail violence and competition doesn’t entail polemy.

i wonder if money is the impossibility, since money existed before writing allegedly, or if military power to disrupt is the impossibility- arms dealing is a supply that creates demand historically (broadly speaking, with emphasis on the automated arms deals that ignited cold wars and FOMO all around while warmongerers profiteered- hence divesting oligarch-amounts of money to begin with.)

appreciate all the comments!

keep up the sharing of insights, as US political systems are diffuse to outsiders

okay, are all primaries local to a state and is there any specific ones to look out for that would tip the scale moreso than others? or is there one primary event held across all of america?

when MullvadVPN, sweden, was not only enforced by courts but raided by police to turn over data they replied “what data?” And the raid turned up nothing. Even with physical access to the servers- the authorities with legal right to search left empty-handed. That’s planning for privacy, I would assume since Proton doesn’t do this for their VPN they only plan for privacy of activists to a certain extent in face of (unfair) court rulings.

so it’s systemic and needs cultural activism at grassroots level to truly change the landscape?

i suppose death of such people only inspire such grassroots change after all, not actually changes as much by itself- like directly.

Our necessary insight here is that, since any value contained in money exists only as a “claim” on a material economy that is now contracting, there must come a point of fatal disequilibrium between claim and substance.

The real comfort, if any is to be found, is that anyone who can find a way of preserving value will have the opportunity of buying utility value at pennies on the dollar. The term “utility” is the watch-word here, because essentials will remain essential even as society is picking over the wreckage of discretionary sectors.

uh yeah just look up what Proton has been doing in face of court requests and idk remember when the CEO of Proton sucked up to Donal J. Trump?

yeet Proton, those turn over any activist to authorities and soon will sell out more broadly

check out GDPR champions StartMail, same as StartPage, from the netherlands

he didn’t agree, it’s not for now as if on a whim

he is forced to just like demagogues are forced to by political pressure (private people, public figures, economical actors, juridical invocations)

that’s a bit counter-cooperative since search engines spew so much bile and adversatorial articles constitute the majority of the corpus to be found online

almost like me asking a person with experience for verified takes is called wrong, isolating into algorithms none of us have control over is called right

not pointing any offense to your person here. this is a negative cultural trend i keep disdaining - the “just google it, stop asking people” lowkey condescending and sometimes disheartening culture is having negative impact on me and others. is what i kindly mean to enlighten

edit: but thanks for sharing your knowledge of it with a link, i appreciate being able to establish that link & date atleast

whoa cool

always with the fearmongering titles

YEET

do you search PeerTube instances using the curated fedi.video or sepia search or another way?

since you say this helps

i would put uploading a plaintextfile at number one (1), because webapps (Blorp included) suffer from stuttering and slow keypresses with spotty autosaves in drafts. i mean to say typing can slow to a pace where virtual keyboard input is output into the textbox almost a second later (on my old ARM7 phone with LineageOS to let me continue do all the things without buying another phone every year.) so using an external texteditor of my choice to write a plaintext file, then i manually start Blorb, then i manually click post & a new button that says “read from plaintext file”; i figure this way is the least effort for devs, since i imagine programming a prompt to open external editors when publishing a post and then passing that data once the texteditor exits would be way too big of a detour to make. so nr1 request for me is: Blorb read a textfile to fill a post instead of me needing to type into the webapp.

second would be my getting to manually add posts to the “do not show read posts” setting’s list. swipe away posts in the feed to the side, instead of as now needing to wonder what the automatic process for marking a post as read and no longer to be shown is. i’d dig manual way - me swiping the post to the side - being the event to exclude posts from my feed. to not go through all the posts… means less time & mental energy for me spent scrolling and clicking in on posts or voting then reloading voting reloading… reloading so often is like pulling a slot machine on the mind to me and it takes some suspenseful time. i’d rather just swipe away posts to exclude without having to, as typed above, reload after waiting for automatic marking of posts to somewhy happen. it’s a bit vague as is rn.

third would be these links you already have a great thing planned out for!

thanks for Blorb, take a calm day and be well

wanted Marcus Aurelius, got Nero

just watch it shortcircuit into unexpected behaviour when protesters fortnite dance infront of sensors

brainrot in the already poisoned data sets

this is coming to everywhere on earth

they could be us

you’re doing great and i appreciate Blorp as is! no pressure to fix this specific thing

cool of you to reply! sorry for any negative emotions my public complaining caused, i wouldn’t have wanted to complain like this i realize after feeling how it felt to see that you’ve read this

i think the idea of choosing whether or not to continue in the blorp webapp is cool but not a dealbreaker by any means. take care and have a good day, thanks for actually making a client for piefed & lemmy and sharing it at all

sorry again! I’ll reconsider how i word my critique going forward, because i genuinely feel remorseful now

thank you for the clear overview

yes it’s a comment i wrote out in a post that was more than a bit irrelevant to what i was writing out.

wdym with the edit about an answer from me in no stupid questions?

edit: oh i see now. yes the Blorp app for piefed is what i’m using and it’s links are a mess. i just clicked “share link to comment” !
