If you are logged in to anything, what you do is tied to your account. Welcome to the internet. Instance admin on your instance can figure out your ip. Nobody else. You can run your own instance to avoid this if you want. Or just use a vpn.

Google track you constantly even when you are not logged in by the way, with scripts on almost every web page. So they have your real name, your entire search history, and what exact programs you use on your phone if you have android.

A lot, but nothing we can do about it. No point worrying about things we cant influence. At least thats what I try to tell myself. :)

Nothing lasts forever, but sure, we will see.

I just read this too: https://arstechnica.com/science/2025/08/new-executive-order-puts-all-grants-under-political-control/

Things are going to get a lot worse.

America just have to get through this Trump period and view it as when the insane were in charge of the asylum.

Its a long time to go though. :/

Its not just bots. Im a ordinary user and I honestly didnt know how much of her stories are even true. Not everyone is even interested in this from day to day.

I thought it was about connections from her rich family, and their ability to pull strings to make these sort of things happen for their kid.

But from this thread, it seems the Wikipedia truth is that she is seen as a hero and risking her life. Maybe that is what actually happened, I wouldnt know.

A young girl with this much determination… So you think anyone with enough determination will be able to speak to the EU and get media coverage to argue with Donald Trump?

I dont have one. I just thought it was strange. Normally people dont get any attention at all. You have thousands of people demonstrating over issues and they get almost zero attention. This girl was put on media, got a lot of support and attention and became some kind of a symbol. Why her?

People protest all the time and nothing happens.

Yeah maybe that is the reason. It was just very strange to me.

I dont know. I just would like to know why she is treated special and became a world celebrity, since nobody else could do that.

Literally everything is manipulation. Nobody questions why this particular girl was allowed to speak in front of the EU. Nobody thinks about why things happen. Who are selected and who is not. What agenda is played out.

If you as a teenager wants to talk to the EU, you think you can just do that? Many questions.

She is kind of clueless, but yeah. At least maybe sparks people thinking.

Ok I understand. There is no way someone connect what you write here with your real identity. Only your instance even sees your ip. And your internet provider I guess.

You shouldnt. Post and be downvoted. As long as you are not intentionally trolling anyone, it shows strength of character to stand up for what you believe.

Its very different from work where you are not free to do what you want, because your entire paycheck is based on going along with the charade. You dont have to do that outside of work. :)

I guess its also our culture where sex is seen as the most important thing in life. So everyone is convinced their entire value consists of how much mating they are doing. Maybe that would be true if we were breeding animals but we are not.

You dont use your real name on Lemmy so I dont see why your history matters here. I could understand it on linkedin, which is why its a super cringe platform also, but here? I dont see a problem.

I like Lemmy because it can be genuine and real, unless posted on a instance that moderates away opinions the moderators dont agree with.

You can go back and find opinions in my history you wont agree with. But thats because i dont try to look a certain way, and I dont change my opinions to look good to others.

I think everyone should do the same. Be who you are. Reflect on feedback, maybe you are wrong, but if you dont think so, dont change yourself.

Bad sex is not better than no sex… Wtf… :)

Its like having a junior developer with a world of confidence just change shit and spend hours breaking things and trying to fix them, while we pay big tech for the privilege of watching the chaos.

I asked chat gpt to give me a simple squid proxy config today that blocks everything except https. It confidently gave me one but of course it didnt work. It let through http and despite many attempts to get a working config that did that, it just failed.

So yeah in the end i have to learn squid syntax anyway, which i guess is fine, but I spent hours trying to get a working config because we pay for chat gpt to do exactly that…

For me its been almost 0%. :) Very happy with it.
