Hello. I’ve been silenced, removed and blocked enough on lemmy dot ml for being a filthy leftist but not a falling in line defending totalitarian states full blown authoritarian communist. Sooo I’m blocking everything from lemmy dot ml so I don’t have to be bothered with any more of that nonsense. If you are on lemmy dot ml and commenting on me I will not see it. Ta ta.

The story: Nothing is our responsibility! Everything is somebody else’s fault! We have super easy solutions for complex problems! Criticism against us is unpatriotic and should be criminalised!
Yeah, I wonder.

on SWEDISH ELECTION: Final result not expected until Wednesday as blocs neck and neck in c/europe@feddit.org · 14 Sep 2026
The election results will be shite regardless who will form a new weak government but there might be some good things to come out of it, like hopefully the end of support for far right populism for some time ahead.

on SWEDISH ELECTION: Final result not expected until Wednesday as blocs neck and neck in c/europe@feddit.org · 14 Sep 2026
When the elections were closing in, Åkesson (leader of SD, the far right nationalists) finally went all in with the xenophobia that was previously implied but not said out loud. I think it was this move that cost him a lot of votes from all shades of Swedes that realized what they were going to vote for. About fucking time.

on Swedish PM Kristersson seeks new term and backing for partnership with far right in c/europe@feddit.org · 11 Sep 2026
Nothing new. Kristersson (of the “Conservative” party (M)oderaterna) being Kristersson, the right wing being the right wing. They have been running Sweden more or less for twenty years now, doing the market liberal dismantling and selling out and privatising everything they can and running the country in the shitter except for the economic elite and the ruthless capitalists. The last four years have been a right wing coalition with the nationalists (SD) as a “support party”, being able to force their political agenda while appearing as opposition in parallel when it doesn’t work out. The Christian Democrats (KD) have been touring together with the nationalists already and their leader is a republican party fangirl. The (L)iberal party leader hugged the nationalist leader a few months ago, welcoming collaboration despite the nationalist party pretty much dismissing all liberal politics, but then again so have L as they are now the “Forbid Everything and yay surveillance” flavour of liberalism. The only one to mildly oppose the nationalists on the right are the ©enter party that are profiling themselves as a right wing green alternative, which is ironic considering they are the old farmers party that fought against any sort of environmental regulations for farmers.
But the left wing is not great either. The (S)ocial democrats have been doing the centrist creep since the early nineties and have participated in the market liberalism when it was popular. They have become a populist shell of the solidarity and workers party they once were. The Left (V) are the old Communist party and still so on paper, but their politics today are pretty much in line with the old school (S), though they still have some old totalitarian nutters in their ranks.
The Greens (MP) are theoretically outside the spectrum but clearly left leaning, as it coincides with their values and pragmatics when it comes to environmental issues.
This coming election seems to be very close and it’s going to be a chiller. If the right wing gets in power with the nationalists, shit is going to get so much worse.

And this, kids, is why reading comprehension is so important. Don’t let media consumption rot your brain into a two second attention span that leaves you confused and angry by information beyond the rudimentary crafted to pander your reality tunnel.
Yes, Timmy you are correct. Before algorithmic video slop, very similar effects were observed from exposure to lead, and that’s why it was phased out of society. That does explain why your gramps is angrily waving his cane at anything complex for which there is no simple solution.

Let’s all lie belly up and do nothing and accept that nothing will ever change for the better because nobody else is doing it for us and it is impossible for us to change the world all alone. This is exactly the defeatist mindset that the economic elites want people to have.
You could do something small, like find out your representatives and write a personal mail to them, informing them from your point of view. With enough people doing small things and some doing big things the chances for things like this gaining traction are magnitudes bigger than giving up in advance. It takes a few hours to a few days depending on your dedication and whatever cost coffee is in your area of residence.

Yeah, I know. I have a blocklist for LG and other common brands compiled by someone else on my router DNS adblocker. But considering how sneaky they are with collecting information they should stay the fuck away from, I bet they have mechanisms to get around their common ad domains for the data that matters.

It’s not the politicians job to know everything but to make decisions and legislate based on information from the expertise. It is the people in the know that need to make the proposals for the politicians to bring it up. It’s us, the tech literate, that need to write proposals that are informative with arguments derived from trusted sources to make the politicians aware that these are concerns that need to be addressed.

on Spotify Execs Bet People Will Pay for AI-Generated Music in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Aug 2026
Yeah, me too. It’s annoying how Qobuz encourage user feedback with a special app and then just go stone wall about it. There are several threads about common problems in their services and they don’t give any response at all. I hope it gives some pressure anyway with the updoots for common annoyances that can no longer be ignored.
AI is overkill. All that is needed is matching acts and albums to one of the free or proprietary datasets online. Some API integration and maybe licensing and it’s done. It’s just a decision that somebody up the organisation needs to make that they don’t for whatever reason.
