Needed a moment to realize the guy is not mowing the grass
I remember telling these rumors on the playground as it were yesterday
I just checked your post history, it's crazy how your posts are getting mass downvoted. Keep up the good work my man!
With Voyager it's possible. I blocked ml long time ago
Die Tagesschau behauptet "Der ukrainische Geheimdienst SBU hat bestätigt, einen Anschlag auf die für Russland strategisch wichtige Krim-Bücke verübt zu haben.". Ob das nin vom SBU so behauptet und von der internationalen Presse so übersetzt wurde, kann ich leider nicht prüfen. Ich würde der Tagesschau jetzt aber nicht unterstellen, dass sie absichtlich von einem Anschlag sprechen um das Ziel zu relativieren.
Isn't the whole reason why we use the fediverse in order to prevent information being filtered through Big Brother/Big Corps, etc.?
Yeah that's why reasonable instances defederate from lemmygrad & co.
I think educating the average person that news sites like RT and Sputnik are owned by a foreign state is a better approach.
That's not how it works. The average person is dumb as fuck and they need to be protected against disinfo. Also RT is not just "owned by a foreign state", it is 100% state controlled propaganda, that is deliberately spread in the west to influence the public opinion.
Also, as an educated person myself I do not want to skip through 10 websites run by the Kremlin until I find a good result.
Why don't we start delisting Fox News and other conservative media while we are at it?
I am all in for that! As far as I know Fox is not run by the white house though, but I am not from the US so I am not sure.
As long as there is not a good alternative for corporate search engine as in similar to the fediverse, we have to work with what we have.
I mean this post is up for more than a day, you could have read some of the other explanations, as yours is pretty poor
To be honest, I absolutely agree with them. I read the whole article and I do not see what is wrong with these statements? Russia is flooding the web with disinformation, we need to do something against that. Fuck the conservatives, Fuck Russia in particular, Slava Ukraini!
Weinberg’s tweet announcing the change generated thousands of comments, many of them from conservative-leaning users who were furious that the company they turned to in order to get away from perceived Big Tech censorship was now the one doing the censoring. It didn’t help that the content DuckDuckGo was demoting and calling disinformation was Russian state media, whose side some in the right-wing contingent of DuckDuckGo’s users were firmly on.
DuckDuckGo spokesperson Kamyl Bazbaz told Recode that the decision was simply about doing what a search engine is supposed to do: ensure that users were getting the best results for their searches. “Sites like RT and Sputnik that deliberately put out false information to intentionally mislead people directly cut against that purpose,” Bazbaz said
I disabled any data collection using the GUI some days ago:
However Firefox still regularly tries to connect to this address incoming.telemetry.mozilla.org, which is apparently blocked by my network.
Now my question - why does FF try to connect, what is it and how do I stop it?
Usually the community mods should pin a post with the new link. In small communities it might be worth to contact the moderator directly to bring the shutdown to their attention.
