Danterious, (edited ) to world in 'Maintain resistance': New Caledonia independence leader calls for protests against France

Yeah from what I understand the situation there is complicated. A majority of the people that live in New Caledonia want to stay a part of France and that majority is made of mostly the Europeans and the other migrants.

However the Kanak are socioeconomically disadvantaged compared to the rest of the state and they feel like they aren’t being represented enough (due to a slim minority) on what they consider aboriginal land (even though other people have been living there for a long time too).

It is a weird situation.

Edit: added (due to a slim minority)

That’s a smaller population than I thought. I thought maybe a half a million at least but I guess not.

I used the auto-generated title for this but realized that the actual title looks different so should I change it?

It is the exploitation that’s wrong. That goes for animals as well as plants. If we can avoid that then things would be a lot better

Danterious, (edited ) to politics in Nearly 3 in 5 incorrectly believe US is in economic recession

I mean it is a common sentiment that has been measured:

web.archive.org/…/biden-trump-consumer-confidence…

Beyond that if you are insinuating that it is a coordinated campaign of people doing this, I mean yeah that’s probably true to some extent. But the reason why they are targeting that is because they know it is a weak point.

So posting an article showing that the cost of living is going down would make that kind of sentiment less justified.

Edit:

I also liked this quote from it:

Most don’t offer their fellow citizens a vision of utopia, and don’t inspire them to build a better world. Instead, they teach people to be cynical and passive, apathetic and afraid, because there is no better world to build. Their goal is to persuade their own people to stay out of politics, and above all to convince them that there is no democratic alternative: Our state may be corrupt, but everyone else is corrupt too. You may not like our leader, but the others are worse. You may not like our society, but at least we are strong. The democratic world is weak, degenerate, divided, dying.

Danterious, (edited ) to privacy in Microsoft Recall takes constant screenshots of everything you do

I guess my question is progress towards what? I mean no one’s gonna stop you its your own computer do what you want.

For me though it just isn’t worth the risk.

I mean sure but if you get hacked (which will eventually happen to someone if this is rolled out) just having the information stored in the first place becomes a risk. So I think it is better to not have it in the first place.

Danterious, (edited ) to technology in Bing outage shows just how little competition Google search really has

I’d go for a SearXNG instance, since its a meta search engine, its gonna work unless all other search engines shut down.

Also nice benefit of being FOSS and of no charge.

Danterious, to politics in Majority of Americans wrongly believe US is in recession – and most blame Biden

I made a post about this sometime ago about this split in expectations. People know that the economy is fine, actually great, for businesses they just don’t think its good for them.

Danterious, to privacy in Best browser tweaks for privacy?

Seems like you have a better idea than I do about privacy so I’m probably not gonna be much help. However make sure that you use extensions that you trust or use as few permissions as possible because that also can be another vector where information can leak.

Oh and there was a post on here sometime ago about a website that show what kind of information it can get from your web browser so you could use that to check how much info you are leaking on the web at least.

Any hardened version of Firefox, like LibreWolf, would be my main choice.
