I love to #boost people. Boost is the juice that kicks da goose loose! It's the motion of the #federated ocean. It's a way for us all to Become The Media, to share the voices that get drowned out elsewhere.
I will boost:

Yeah, keep on telling me how #meta isn't that bad and it won't (eventually) effect you:

Let's organise a #GeneralStrike all across so-called #canada. There are no political options that align with the immense challenges we are presented with: #ClimateDestruction run amok, unfettered #greed, unimaginable #dehumanisation.
It's time.
If not now, when?

I got tired of sifting through pages of garbage to find search results I needed.
I did something about it with #SearxNG - a privacy-centric meta search engine that can search DOZENS of different search engines, filter out the ads and AI crap, delivering just what you were looking for. Or at least closer to what you're looking for. It ain't perfection but it's a HELL of a lot better!
Feel free to try it out!

Shoutout to #kdeConnect for being so simple and so often useful!
If you have an #android device and #Linux (with or w/o #plasma), you have a new best friend when you need to move large files from your phone, or when you need something from a text message in your laptops clipboard. It can also act as a remote keyboard/trackpad and much more.

Elon Musk's and X's Role in 2024 Election Interference
1/10/2025
To Whom It May Concern,
I'm writing this with a heavy heart and no small amount of fear. As a former X (formerly Twitter) employee on an H1B visa, I can't reveal my identity without risking everything, but I can't stay silent any longer about what I saw and was made to do.
When Elon Musk took over, everything changed. What started as a social media company became something much darker. I was part of a team that was directly ordered to manipulate Twitter's systems to influence the 2024 US presidential election. It wasn't subtle, and it wasn't ethical.
We completely changed how the algorithm worked, pushing pro-Trump and right-wing posts to the top of people's feeds. To make it look balanced, we also boosted some left-wing critics of Democrats, but it was all carefully calculated. These changes didn't just affect Americans - they impacted users worldwide.
One of the most disturbing things we did was create thousands of fake accounts using advanced AI systems called Grok and Eliza. These accounts looked completely real and pushed political messages that spread like wildfire. Havn't you noticed they all disappeared? Like magic.
We also knowingly allowed foreign governments to manipulate the platform. State-backed groups from Israel, Iran, and Russia were running their own influence campaigns, and because their goals aligned with ours, we looked the other way. Even when they clearly broke the rules, we didn't stop them.
Perhaps the most unethical part was how we manufactured news stories. One team would write completely fake articles, while another team would artificially boost their engagement metrics to make them go viral. We specifically targeted certain groups of people, knowing exactly how to manipulate their views and emotions.
The moderation team became a tool for our agenda. We systematically silenced anyone who got in our way, enforcing the rules when it suited us and ignoring them when it didn't. Elon Musk himself was deeply involved in these decisions, often joking about being "Black Hat MAGA."
What started as US election interference has now spread to other countries. We're currently doing the same thing in Germany and other European nations. The damage we've done is immeasurable, and I don't know if it can ever be fixed. People don't know what's real anymore, and that's exactly what we wanted.
The pilot program for the Eliza AI Agent, was election interference. Eliza was release officially in October of 2024, but we had access to it before then thanks to Marc Andreessen.
I'm terrified to be writing this, but I had to speak up. I just hope that someone with the power to do something about this sees this letter. You'll know what i’m saying is the truth by Elon's actions to the news someone spoke out. For more evidence look at the docs of Eliza AI Agent software. We left bread crumbs.
Yours sincerely,
A former employee who can't sleep at night.

Not everyone gets to say they were taken in an obvious scam that is EXACTLY the same as at least 5 other scams you've been burned by. You haven't learned by now, so just don't worry about it!
