Paying for an OS that phones home with incredible amounts of telemetry where you have to run adblock to get rid of the built in ads is just silly.
Microsoft was shit in the 90s and never stopped being shit.
But not before passning all that impact energy goodness to the passengers due to the lack of crumple zones.
According to the 13th amendment you're already an actual slave state except the slaves are called prisoners.

Damn it, didnt even get a notice about this comment. It uses GANs, similar but not the same as the LLMs used by chatgpt trained on a large set of photos (I think it was trained on the ffhq set) to generate new faces. See youtube for cool videos that transition between faces.

Are the crazies the ones banning threads?
This one is easy. I remember the 90s when microsoft pretended to play nice with everyone while they simultaneously did their damndest to destroy any competitor by their embrace and extend tactic. I also remember when AOL opened up their walled garden and the amount of garbage that flooded every usenet group. Im aware that the redditpocalypse probably had the same effect on lemmy but I still support defederation.
Another reason to avoid it is that Jack Dorsey supports known anti-vaxxer and general conspiracy kook Robert F Kennedy Jr. Not the kind of people I'd want to run my social network.
There's the webapp wefwef.app that seem very popular. I'm currently using Connect for Lemmy and it seems to work pretty well. I found a list of clients somewhere that I was planning to go through but that browser tab seems to have been eaten by the Wumpus (not the discord one).
There are places where they don't care about GDPR. It is probably relevant in the giphy case but other sites opreate outside the eu.
