FundMECFS@quokk.auto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Does a vpn really matter when torenting? Do people care?English8·7 days agoUse the Windscribe 10gb per month free. It works well. And if you need more use RiseUpVPN. But note it is slow. And that its completely free and volunteer run. It’s the kind of thing that if you get an income you should probably donate to if you used a lot. It’s mainly used by activists in authoritarian countries.
FundMECFS@quokk.auto Data is Beautiful@mander.xyz•Republicans and Democrats don't get their news from the same sourcesEnglish3·7 days agoThere isn’t much if you’re interested in like Party Politics and State Relations.
But there is actually quite a rich layered news that centers people instead of institutions. I’ll send you two ones that are explicitly anarchist. Obviously, I’m not saying one needs to only read them, but adding them into the media diet can be quite nice.
There are some decent in between sources as well. See maybe Propublica or Jacobin.
I think unbiased sources don’t exist. Everything is giving you a perspective. And having perspectives that aren’t elite coded or pro-status quo coded can be really valuable.

FundMECFS@quokk.auto Fediverse@lemmy.world•TIL about Fedi-Search, an open sourced frontend to easily search the Fediverse with a lot of mainstream enginesEnglish5·8 days agoOoo this is cool.
I hope they add support for Nodebb and Qwant.
FundMECFS@quokk.auto Data is Beautiful@mander.xyz•Republicans and Democrats don't get their news from the same sourcesEnglish31·8 days agoNPR and The AP are both run by the liberal elite. They covertly reinforce the status quo (even if just by story selection), and perhaps sometimes subtly endorse small reforms. So they end up working in part to maintain the current order (read heirarchies).
Fox News, Newsmax are straight up run by oligarchs as overt propaganda tools to reinforce heirachies.
There are no anti-heirarchical or anti-establishment sources in this graph of what people in the US read. (Unless you count News Max as anti-establishment, but it’s more anti-liberal elite establishment pro-oligarch establishment so I would still classify it as pro-establishment).
FundMECFS@quokk.auto Data is Beautiful@mander.xyz•Republicans and Democrats don't get their news from the same sourcesEnglish71·9 days agoPretty impressive how all of the networks listed are elite controlled corporate-neoliberal brained. Pretty grim assessment of how democrats consume the news as well.
