Pro@programming.devOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Can you advocate for privacy by showing it? Does it work or will people never learn privacy in practice?English2·3 days agoOne problem I see in your way of thought here, adblock use among social media users will never reach 100%.
Furthermore, adblockers are getting weaker with Google Chrome MV3. All of this leads to the logical conclusion in my eyes that you can only change the sources that power users use which will eventually lead to better privacy for all people involved. You will never be able to control people setups to be super private.

Pro@programming.devOPtoUnited States | News & Politics@midwest.social•Los Angeles police, National Guard fire thousands of “less lethal” rounds at residents protesting fascist immigration raidsEnglish27·12 days agoFor the third consecutive day, large protests erupted across Los Angeles County in response to ongoing federal immigration raids targeting working class communities in the most populous county in the United States. Sunday’s demonstrations were larger than those on the previous two days, reflecting mounting outrage among broader layers of the population.
The scenes emerging from Los Angeles resemble an active war zone. As during the mass protests following the 2020 police murder of George Floyd, police are indiscriminately firing on protesters, journalists and bystanders alike. Video posted online by on-the-ground reporters shows police and California National Guard soldiers firing “less lethal” rounds at close range, significantly increasing the risk of serious injury.

Pro@programming.devOPto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK Post Follow up: People Defended Ars Technica in my Previous Post, Here is a Proof That Ars Technica Parent Company Secretly Manipulate Reddit for Their Own Benefit.English71·15 days agoFirst, deleting a repost is clearly not evidence of any kind of bias.
That is not a repost, this is an other article from ProPublica: https://www.propublica.org/article/inside-ai-tool-doge-veterans-affairs-contracts-sahil-lavingia
Second, maybe Ars is just more popular/trusted? Maybe it’s more upvoted because the Ars title is more meaningful, it’s super well known that people mostly only read the title.
Are you joking with me? They are using a paraphrased title.
I’m not saying reddit isn’t manipulating things, I’d be shocked if they weren’t. But this isn’t really evidence that they are.
I am really curious, what sort of evidence you want/expect to see?
