RE: https://xoxo.zone/@Ashedryden/115952812145125212

Helping people install a full-featured web content blocker, such as @ublockorigin, was already necessary for #infosec. Now it's necessary for #resistance.

Likewise, helping people set up a VPN from their phones to a non-logging network ad- and tracking-filtering server is resistance.

Likewise, helping people migrate off technofeudalist social media, onto @signalapp for DMs and federated social media for everything public, is resistance.

Likewise, denying supporters or enablers of surveillance capitalist corporations everything it is your right to deny them is resistance.

The more data and revenue we deny the #adTech and #surveillanceCapitalism industry, the more power we take away from the gestapo.

All collaborationists—companies or individuals—are traitors against the Peoples of the #USA and all their allies.

A missing and important #security feature for @ublockorigin: add a per-subscription option for whether each subscription is allowed to use trusted filters, and make it default to unchecked for all non-default subscriptions. As it stands malicious compromise of any filter subscription allows arbitrary code injection into any or every page, using, for example, trusted-replace-node-text on any script element. It's the same #supplyChain threat model as malicious Python/Ruby/Node/R/etc. packages or malicious VS Code or browser extensions.

My interviewer wishlist for @pluralistic about his #enshittification book (and, in the case of Steve from GN), on the #DMCA abuse by Bloomberg to censor the #GamersNexus documentary about GPU smuggling:
• Steve of GamersNexus, of course;
• @louisrossmann, the Katharine Hayhoe of #RightToRepair and #RightToOwn; and
• Jordan Harbinger, who has a very large and loyal audience spanning a wide political spectrum, listening to long-form intellectual interviews of experts about their books and research.

(Paging @anneapplebaum.bsky.social: You've spoken to Jordan recently. Maybe mention the book and author to him?)

It will taker a wider audience to effectively build a base for campaigns to restore #competition: the restoration of #antitrust and the repealing of pro-monopoly laws.

@ndp And relatedly, from a fellow pragmatic leftist: How the @ndp could avoid repeating the (US) Democrats' fatal communications errors. #ndp

And before you prejudge the content, be sure to assess its predictive validity—at least if you want to be elected. To those who'd push back, the results discussed in the second video proves point made in the first. One can either cling to presumed rightness, or put results over rhetoric and hence be effective, but not both.

Essential listening for the @ndp before the federal election, if you're not to repeat the Liberals' fatal communications errors:

@Z_Zed_Zed @TDCN @Showroom7561 2‰ = 0.2%. The per-thousand sign isn't used often in informal English, but if someone took the effort to select the character, they probably meant it. 🙂
