Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer

  • How it used to be old GSM phones like those from Nokia that were then the thing for the underworld.

    • 100 years ago, John Scopes, a science teacher, was prosecuted for teaching evolution

  • And considering news headlines in the US right now, where certain sections of science are being suppressed, while others are promoted mainly for profit.

    • Today, the Mexican Government introduced its new chocolate bar, priced at less than $1USD. Made of 50% cocoa, powdered milk, vanilla. No refined sugar, no artificial flavourings.

  • The only thing that EU has yet to stiff-arm on.

    • I think there is no proper social media platform to express oneself.

    Jump

  • In the subreddits that have anything to do with politics and/or lambasting right-wingers, any comment or post with even the mildest language criticizing a certain controversial personality now gets a fucking instaban. They don't care how you defend yourself, a spade is a spade to them.

    Otherwise some mods do tend to be on a powertrip.

    • Firefox is fine. The people running it are not

    Jump

  • Stuff like medical record portals, financial websites for my companies retirement plan. Stuff I have little choice about. And most fail silently.

    I recall how South Korea literally painted itself into a corner for becoming too dependent on Internet Explorer after years of using it with a security implementation based entirely on ActiveX.

    I'm currently using a user-agent switcher plugin. Allows me to spoof servers into believing I'm running a different browser.

    • Reddit turns 20, and it’s going big on AI

    Jump

  • Reddit wants to provide a service that people can use for free,

    lol. Yeah, free but with conditions, as at the end of the day, it's a privately-owned space and they'll kick anyone out for using "violent language".

    • Best way to get around permaban on Reddin in 2025?

    Jump

  • You can't -- only way is to avoid all politically-charged subreddits. They'll ban anyone using even remotely violent words to describe US current events, especially in large subs where US politics and news are discussed. You can't even create a new account and use it immediately after a ban.

    It's really a chilling effect over there. I betcha they're now using something new to supplant human moderators, and reactionaries are prowling the subs to flag anyone desecrating their idols.
