I’m always like, read the screen. But you know what? Sometimes they can’t fucking see the screen. So you gotta get them a bigger screen. They also won’t admit that they can’t see the screen. So you’re going to have to pick up on cues. If you find yourself saying over and over again, you know, read the screen. You see that on the screen? over in the right hand side of the screen. On the screen.

My 70 plus mother uses a fairphone and Linux. Switching cost is a lie. Windows is the virus, apple is the virus and google is a terrorist organization. I taught her not to be intimidated by the threats of big tech and to stop answering her phone… All the time. Capitalism is predatory in its nature. There is no tech fix for anything other than legislation and holding these big tech companies accountable by chopping off their fucking balls. Also, people are going to have to start, you know, going their own way. Switching cost is a lie. It’s an absolute fucking lie. European countries are changing, getting away from big yankkkee tech. Features and benefits More like pull your hair out and headaches, we have to remember, computers are for math and long distance computation… They are not a tool for the Wizard of Oz. They are not a tool for the self-fulfilling prophecy of the criminal. The feedback loop that just leads to more and more of a police state and the justification for infiltrating all of our lives. But it’s hard to talk about computing if you can’t talk about imperialism and all the feedback loops and reflexive effects. It’s crazy how math, political science, and computer sciences, they can be compartmentalized, but they really intersect.
andybytes@programming.devtoPolitical Memes@lemmy.world•How long will people be in denial that america is now a fascist regime? You all really going to wait until trumps third term until you come to terms with it, arent you?English11·7 小时前America supported the Nazis during World War II. It was all just a weaken Russia. And it’s never really just one thing. You know, it’s multiple things. The control structure feeds into itself many different ways. It’s almost as if we live in and like a spider’s web. Our sole existence on this planet is to support the control structure and that control structure is worse than fascism. Capitalism in crisis creates the populist movements, especially the “good old days types” To crawl out of their crevices and beat their chest, and basically be guided like a horse by the ruling class in order for us to tear ourselves apart in order for law and order to set in and the new standards to begin… I mean we are one of the most subservient and cucked societies that’s ever existed in human history. This will all become more apparent as the climate changes, and we all become climate refugees.I think liberals are becoming more radical and yet they don’t realize that the majority of the real left wing in America has already viewed America as a fascist regime for a long time. Also, some of these liberal movements I think will be co-opted and kind of turned into fascist action. I mean liberals are honestly the number one reason why we have no progress in this country. They occupy the space that should be filled with people that understand the evils of capitalism. But we remember Nancy Pelosi talking about a free market economy, whatever the fuck that means. I mean that bitch is too busy counting her money and getting her hair done. To be more specific, America is an imperialist empire, and fascists are the useful idiots of empire. Yankees live in a vacuum. The libturds are always late to the party. I literally could of had kids. I was on the path and I chose not to because I knew too much. And so that’s why I can say things so “negatively” and freely. I see the world as it is, not as I want it to be. My ear has been to the ground for a long time. I’ve read a lot, listen to a lot. I’ve seen a lot. There is no war but the class war i can guarantee that. Capitalism is a system of the lowest common denominator. It is reflexive based upon emotion and not needs. We won’t solve our problems using this current economic system. Artificial intelligence is scary because it’s stupid, not because it’s actually capable of being accurate or helpful. And we literally feed into it. Without us, it does nothing. It needs data sets. It needs certain things. One of those things will be water. Just basic public utilities is gonna be shit and way out of reach for most people. There will be more homelessness and they’ll just throw them in prison and make them work for free. They’ll trick you in to taking out credit that you can’t pay because they want to put you in jail. All these things have happened in history. It’s just a lazy man’s solution to a problem, especially when they just view you as cattle. The people at the top are by far the most cruel and unprincipled disgusting human beings that have ever existed in society. We live in an inversion. A world where evolution is an exponential decay function.

Oh my Ford the drahmah
Most charities are just scams. And yeah they might do some good, but charity is a symptom of failure. We are byproduct of our environment.
Yankee woke neo_Liberalism is stupidity trying to look good with little to no oversight. Yankee Conservatism is bitches runing wild.

andybytes@programming.devto Programming@programming.dev•Working on databases from prison: How I got here, part 2.English7·2 天前We are a product of our environment and the school to prison pipeline is real. I don’t know why we celebrate something so common and yet you can be happy for an individual. but the United States has the most imprisoned in the world. Capitalism will destroy all life on this planet. In the American and imperialist empire will destroy all potential for actual real change. Everything is connected. It’s the system you live in. You can celebrate small victories but they are inconsequential.
andybytes@programming.devto Privacy@programming.dev•Meta Found a New Way to Track Android Users Covertly via Facebook & InstagramEnglish1·2 天前Our government officials work for the corporate sector because government has been captured by corporations. So most plebs, you know, still worship the sun. And you know, the types like Nancy Pelosi definitely care, but what they care about is their stock portfolio. Not doing what we perceive as their jobs. But it’s kind of interesting seeing how Europe has lost faith in the Yankee Empire and is slowly becoming more self-reliant and moving away from US companies. Which in turn, if we don’t become completely like North Korea, and we can access the internet outside of the usa, it gives us the opportunity to possibly use some decent software, which makes me excited. And to be honest, I use a lot of software that’s created by Europeans. So, it’s kind of already like that. But then it’ll just get better hopefully.
andybytes@programming.devto Privacy@programming.dev•Meta Found a New Way to Track Android Users Covertly via Facebook & InstagramEnglish01·2 天前The company should have been modified in the historical record as a terrorist organization supported by treasonous actors, completely disbanded, cannibalized and Mark Zuckerberg should have been put to death. along with all the enablers like Nancy Pelosi. It’s such a big fucking iceberg that it’s hard to call a spade a spade, but I call a spade a spade. I would take the figure head and nail it on a cross. I would chop off its head and put it on a spear for all to see. Facebook has enabled genocide and spread lies that created chaos inside of communities. I would create laws where aglorythms should be open sourced with a switch that could be turned off. And if there’s any fuckery, you either get your balls or your tits chopped off and imprisoned in a dark room @100°f for the rest of your fucking life.
andybytes@programming.devto Privacy@programming.dev•Meta Found a New Way to Track Android Users Covertly via Facebook & InstagramEnglish03·2 天前Well, the same individuals that are preying on the children are the same individuals that spread how to cheat in video games. Then now we are no longer allowed to own our video games and they force us to use an operating system that is basically a virus. Then on top of that they want you to install a root kit where basically the video game company can just diddle with their dick beaters through your machine. I’d rather stare at the wall then to give in to any of this. If there was like a moment where I was near the button and they were going to tell me that I had to live this way, I’d push that button. There is always an option and sometimes that option is chaos and destruction. I’m not scared of nukes and I lean into the apocalypse. like, look what you forced me to do. How could you? Smash smash smash. You want to know who has the most child corn? the intelligence agencies. Those that want to save the children are those that harm the children. It’s all about managing perception. “Oh the humanity… You gotta save the children. Oh, the children.” At this point, you should have gotten it by now considering of all the dead children that we’ve recently killed in the world. This internet security nonsense is just about corporate control and walled gardens, so they can manage perception and expand the empire further. This should be always the framework that you go by. It’s us the people against the tyrants, the capitalist class and The Tech Bros. I think it’s been at least a decade, at least, since I’ve purchased a video game. Well I did buy. “Good boy” on itch.io for my miyoo mini. Fuck steam, fuck em all…fuck social media and all those “you are perinoid” types. There are background processes that control your life and you will either acknowledge them or ignore them. But don’t cry out gawd to make your life better. It ain’t listening but the corporate gooners are.
andybytes@programming.devto Privacy@programming.dev•Meta Found a New Way to Track Android Users Covertly via Facebook & InstagramEnglish01·2 天前Your computer can have a static IP or a dynamic IP. A static IP is an IP that doesn’t change. This could be a cash register. A dynamic IP is a device that you connect to the internet to surf the hub like a tablet. Or your Wi-Fi or any network. And these addresses are needed to direct and identify because without this nothing will work. Now, everybody’s local host is most likely, now I don’t know everything, but is the same 127.0.0.1 … So you can spin up or install a program on a server and use that server’s IP address remotely, even though it has its own local address or on your own computer and since you’re not connecting to that service remotely, you just use your local address 192.166.3.4 (ip) vs 127.0.0.1 (local host). Now your device is recognized by the router through its Mac address. It’s like the computer’s DNA. A unique identifier. Which can be spoofed. Shit on top of shit.
andybytes@programming.devto Privacy@programming.dev•Meta AI searches made public - but do all its users realise?English01·2 天前I have yet to be impressed by artificial intelligence. Whatever the fuck that means. A bunch of goddamn buzzwords of useless shit I don’t need. The top job in the land with a… weapons contractors budget and the shit still doesn’t work. Palantir is a joke. I mean shit, any meanie minie mo… This shit used to work, but not anymore. It’s like the hands off approach. You know, look, Ma. No hands. Then to the concrete, curled up in a ball crying. Because you fell off you goddamn bike. It’s like if we competed against older selves, we would lose. When you’re a billionaire, you don’t really have to perform. You just have to maintain perception. And always have a dog to blame. What a limp dick future. Modern day super villains are just idiots lifted up by idiots. That’s why they’re scared because they know they dumb. Like the motherfucker that comes over and kicks over your sand castle. Because he’s too dumb and stupid to make his own cool sand castle. The Intelligent Pull the Cart of Stupidity with Humpty Dumpty bending the axle wafting in his own brand.

They started asking me questions and it eventually got to the point where I was preaching the gospel of getting off of Facebook. “For Christ’s sake, please just get off fucking Facebook.”
andybytes@programming.devto Linux@programming.dev•Australian tech publication telling average users that Linux is now the smarter choice!English6·3 天前It’s in the best interest of these publications to promote the Linux operating system. Windows and Mac OS X is hostile to the user, to the very idea of computing and freedom. They are unapologetically monopolistic in nature. They need to be stopped.
I would eliminate the “features and benefits” by turning off notifications on the home screen… The phone goes boop then she goes to the messages cause it has a unique sound and check their message. Almost all the other goofy apps, unless it’s messaging, I turn off the notifications. For me, the best approach is eliminating variables. But this is all relative to the needs and desires of each unique individual. But I think eliminating variables is the best approach. Unless they get curious about something and ask questions, then you can expand off of the basics.
