Its no secret that I am a socialist, I hope that with my posts and replies that others may follow. If you like what I have to say I would recommend checking Cowbee’s comprehensive list credit to comrade @Cowbee@lemmy.ml for they’re work

  • Using Debian as my main laptop distro, I am usually an arch user but figured with it being a light weight laptop I wouldn’t need arch, its been fine but installing updates can be frustrating, after a few weeks gnomes appstore breaks, then I need to use terminal to apt update, apt --fix-broken install.


  • One thing that is neglected with android vs Linux is the application style. Mainstream Linux distros direct compile from source, this means users can read the source code and report any malicious code which has happened, with incredible speed. We don’t have that with androids APK files, therefore android needs a much more robust security system. There are other reasons too, like google opening its flood gates to banking apps, if Linux is ever even semi successful (I doubt it will out compete apples or google) in mobile os, banking and high security commercial services will be relegated to the browser.


  • Kids shouldn’t use the internet without a parent or teacher monitoring them. We can blame big tech for targeting our most vulnerable and pandering to them, kids are very easy to manipulate vis-à-vis a great target to advertisers, they will fill participation metrics, they will sit on one site for hours. And our solution is to keep the unsafe pseudo kids park online while handing power to faceless corps who we are to trust with our private and identifiable data? Roblox for example is an open pedo network targeting kids, this won’t be fixed. The sad truth is many children are encountering sexual content through these online play grounds made for kids.


  • the intersecting narratives I had pick up on is ‘too close for comfort’ parenting eg helicopter parenting. infantilizing ones own parent and cloaked romantic jestures (akin to kissing a parent on the lips, something that is odd but can pass by as normal in some family structures). these narratives seem to be pushed with stories to paraphrase (badly) “I am my mothers IT guy also her carer, also I am trapped” this was to a holy incapable mother who would loose passwords and act with aggression and guilt. now this one i am somewhat hesitant to call out but it did fit the mo.

    (gender indeterminate) “me and my dad have a new flat that he bought, we are sharing a bed” followed with a picture of a very modern but empty living space with a double bed. I believe this had been the first of the kind of post I seen, this one garnered alot of reaction comments and likes respectively and in the affirmative. i truly believe this one to be fake but for what reason someone would craft this post isn’t apparent.

    A photo of a large and what one would assume, very expensive edible bouquet with a title and short comment from OP again to butcher the quite) “my dad bout me this edible bouquet” and the comment I can’t remember but the vibe was one of appreciation and gratitude.

    most of the posts I had seen used a photo of an object or place but not all.


  • Call it a tinfoil hat, but there have been a dozen posts centring around close parent offspring relationships, sharing a bed in a new flat with dad, dad buying an expensive edible flower bouquet for daughter, and many others. All of which seem to garner a lot of attention, then get deleted. These posts have been popping up over the year. Also worth mentioning, these post have soon been deleted when questioned on validity or its romantic connotations.

    I had been collecting screenshots but the phone I was using is broken.

    Anyway, with the deleted post in question, the response style of op seemed similar to other now deleted posts and I believe these posts are fake and are coming from one person/ai/org.
