I’m glad it acknowledges explains the impacts of anti-fingerprinting measures. I’ve seen some others assume that a random canvas is unique rather than one of the many people randomising it the same way, leading to a false “unique” assessment.

Your browser appears to be returning the viewport in place of the real screen — anti-fingerprinting at work. The substitution is itself distinctive.

Your browser masked your graphics processor. Firefox and Safari have started returning generic strings — “Mozilla”, “Apple”, “or similar” — instead of the real renderer. The fact that yours did so tells us, with reasonable confidence, which browser you are running. The mask is also a fingerprint.

Yep, most likely as ununiformed “active clubs” similarly to how they started. It’s the dominant neo-Nazi strategy internationally.

I’m not sure if it shows up on all Lemmy apps, so also check the aussie.zone/c/australia crosspost for more info.

Also, reminder that the government’s Special Envoy’s Plan to Combat Antisemitism did fuck-all to combat these scum, even after they made openly antisemitic speeches in a (police approved) flash mob outside of Sydney state parliament, instead they’ve targeted the pro-Palestine protests.

Sufficient government action has been many years overdue, but better this than more waiting. Next step is to crush their “active clubs”, because everyone knows they’re not going to simply disappear.

We will see how this impacts the upcoming Invasion Day marches more interesting, as the March for Australia counterprotest has already had members of the NSN show up as organisers, marshals and plain clothes stooges in the audience.

It’s strange to treat oligarchy and the trend of capital towards consolidation (monopolisation) as if they’re distinct from capitalism and not mechanically promoted by captialism itself.

To do what Adam Smith demands, putting a leach on capital under capitalism, is a contradiction that is difficult or impossible to maintain, as we’ve seen. When a company has enough money to punch above the rest, they have the power to buy stakes in mass media news and other propaganda, they can bribe politicians or use their power to promote and empower the ones they can bribe, and they can do the same with institutional anti-corruption systems like lawmakers, judges, police. To inoculate a society against this power of the rich basically requires a departure from liberalism/capitalism itself, revoking the “freedom” of private capital owners to exclude others and abuse their position.

Get on my property!

This is important to emphasise. Older generations were, generally, in more of a bubble, it wasn’t easy to spread word with the same reach and authority as national mass media before the Internet.

Similar situation with other communication advances, like the telegraph, which allowed news of the world and the people around a country to learn and co-ordinate much better than before.

I know a few people in rural US who made the jump from a super right US Libertarian position in late-teens/early adulthood all the way over to Marxist positions. I’m not certain, but I suspect that the US Libertarian and Republican mindsets are often normalised there so people are raised with them by default, but a lot of the underlying ideas that validate the US Libertarian position, like individualism and “freedom”, work better as abstract ideas and tend to break down upon inspection. Most of the additional freedoms of the US don’t matter when people don’t have the money, health and other resources to make use of them. It just allows the rich and powerful to trample the rest.

Organised by neo-Nazis.

Same as what @catloaf said. Images are just inconvenient (and sometimes inaccessible) for the reader and lazy posting.

“live rent free in their heads” doesn’t mean to be aware of someone, it’s talking about obsession. That cm lad constantly tries to bring up “.ml” out of nowhere to incite drama, and I just took a glance at their user profile and holy moly it’s almost entirely just reposting from lemmy.ml.

Like just look at https://lemmy.world/post/30613970/17403019, a content creator is asking them to stop reposting their work to a certain community and telling them how it’s harmful, and cm0002 is just using that as an excuse to handwave it and soapbox. This is unhealthy antisocial behaviour.

It’s complicated.

Unfortunately, the Wikipedia articles I found lack citations, so they probably aren’t a good source. They claim that the ROC (Taiwan) claims all of the mainland.

This reddit thread refers to the ROC constitution and interprets it as:

In the Act Governing Relations between the People of the Taiwan area and the Mainland area, the following is stated:

“Taiwan Area” refers to Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen, Matsu, and any other area under the effective control of the Government.

“Mainland Area” refers to the territory of the Republic of China outside the Taiwan Area.

“People of the Taiwan Area” refers to the people who have household registrations in the Taiwan Area.

“People of the Mainland Area” refers to the people who have household registrations in the Mainland Area.

The implication is that wherever this law applies, is what the ROC government considers to be “territory of the ROC outside of the Taiwan Area”. Currently the application of this law overlaps the entirety of the PRC, minus HK and Macau.

This the fun part. If you look at the ROC constitution, it makes […] mention to Mongolia and Tibet.

I don’t know how much of this applies beyond the KMT.

I think rules, written or otherwise, should have exceptions to account for extreme circumstances like this, but a lot of online people just go ‘No, if you don’t bring your cart back you’re a BAD PERSON no matter what!’.

To treat any rule as immutable is an idealist junk perspective. Rules, like all ideas, need to be applied to a context, and I personally don’t see the point in codifying every possible exception. Law officials, programmers and others can tell you how Sisyphean that task would be.

So yes, there are exceptions (obviously!). If you’re putting your cart back and you injure your leg, you don’t have to crawl on your arms just to put it back. But we can still generally say “people should put their cart back after shopping” and it’s clear that we’re generalizing.

In what country? It’s pretty normal to see companies lobbying for policy here, or urging people to sign petitions.

Though to be fair, Dutton was never going to be a better option.

Luckily we’re not trapped in a two-party dichotomy, Liberal’s opinions are slowly mattering less and less and minor candidates are getting more of the pie.

Lemmy’s web UI formats it as a footnote^[1], I didn’t realise other apps might not read that formatting:

For those unfamiliar with Prime Minister Albanese:

• Founding member and secretary of Parliamentary Friends of Palestine around 2000^[1]
• Complicit in the zionist regime’s recent invasions and ongoing genocide in Gaza
• Australia trades with the regime, and arrested port protesters and members of the Maritime Union of Australia, including the leader of the Sydney branch
• Australia is the sole exporter of the F-35 bomber fuselage
• Australia repeatedly supported the invasion through UN voting

Yes, the Labor Party have demonstrated they’re inadequate to solve our ongoing crises. The Greens appear to have kept their strong crossbench position in the senate so I can’t be too disappointed.

Just to be clear, I am not an M–L, I’m explaining their position because it’s important to understand when it comes to geopol.

Also, right now US is not the country that’s launching drones to blow up the civilian houses in the city I live in

That’s absolutely true. And on the other hand, the US are also launching drones to blow up civilian houses in other countries, so you will find plenty of people online who are more against the US, just like you rightfully have good reason to want Russia to fall. Ukraine is the theatre of a proxy war between NATO and Russia, and it’s a fucking tragedy. The M–L position is that, being a proxy war, the US prolonged it for their own benefit (it’s not their soldiers and citizens being attacked) until they finally threw Ukraine away and negotiated terms with the enemy. Normally that step happens diplomatically behind doors when they do it to other countries.

Just like I said, “critical support”. They’re clear that it’s a capitalist “dictatorship of the owning class” (like other liberal-democracies) and that they’re critical of their domestic policies. If NATO were no longer as powerful as it is now, then they’d move on to calling for the Russian Federation’s fall, but it’s clear which of the two is a more imminent threat to countries around the globe. It’s like voting for Democrats over Republicans in the US election – they’ve both proven themselves to be terrible but voting for the lesser evil might be pragmatically effective, and voting third party or boycotting is debatably an idealistic waste of effort.

As someone else mentioned, this is a campist approach to geopolitics.

the US

I wouldn’t limit “the imperial core” to the US, but basically, yes.

This recent thread is pretty insightful on lemmygrad.ml’s position. Their own users repeatedly emphasize that they are critical of the RF, which shouldn’t be a surprise given that it’s a capitalist country with plenty of reactionary domestic policies. (OP didn’t get banned)
