We used to have free speech and an open internet in the UK. Now I need a VPN to access Lemmy.zip because Labour has turned Britain into an Orwellian Nightmare.

  • AI is a bad idea completely and if people cared at all about their privacy they should disable it.

    It’s all well and good to say that AI categorises pictures and allows you to search for people and places in them, but how do you think that is accomplished? The AI scan and remembers every picture on your phone. Same with email summaries. It’s reading your emails too.

    The ONLY assurance that this data isn’t being sent back to HQ is the companies word that it isn’t. And being closed source we have no possible way of auditing their use of data to see if that’s true.

    Do you trust Apple and/or Google? Because you shouldn’t.

    Especially now when setting up a new AI capable iPhone or iPad Apple Intelligence is enabled by DEFAULT.

    It should be OPT-IN, not opt-out.

    All AI can ever really do is invade your privacy and make humans even more stupid than they are already. Now they don’t even have to go to a search engine to look for things. They ask the AI and blindly believe what ever bullshit it regurgitates at them.

    AI is dangerous on many levels because soon it will be deciding who gets hired for a new job, who gets seen first in the ER and who gets that heart transplant, and who dies.



  • I must thank you for proving my point.

    We’ve both made our arguments, I’ve said everyone is free to believe whatever they wish and it’s obvious we will never agree. But you simply can’t accept that people disagree with gender ideology and must try and push your beliefs onto others, in this case, me.

    So to finalise this conversation.

    I am of the opinion that there are two genders. You are of the opinion that there are more.

    We are both entitled to our respective opinions whether you agree with them or not.


  • Sorry but your gender argument is plain false.

    There are two biological genders. Male and female. Anything else is a birth defect and it is biologically impossible to change what you are.

    Just because a person thinks they aren’t the gender they were born as does not make them some third gender. It is a mental health issue.

    Sex and gender are fundamentally the same thing but the definitions have been twisted to suit a specific ideology which has no basis in fact.

    You are of course free to believe anything you wish. If a person wants to believe there are 100+ genders then they have that right, But what nobody has the right to do is expect and demand that others fall into line with their ideology and beliefs. And they absolutely do not have the right to start throwing abuse and words like transphobe around simply because beliefs don’t match.


  • It is the left that starts the abuse.

    If I were to say “there are two genders (male and female) and you can not change what you were born as” the red mist descends and because my views don’t align I get called a phobe or ist or a bigot. They simply can’t accept that not everyone shares their ideology.

    As for the right starting the abuse just look at the Reform member conference in Cornwall last week.

    It wasn’t the right wearing masks to hide their faces and physically trying to stop people entering while threatening and verbally abusing them.

    With two-tier Kiers thought police WATCHING from the sidelines.









  • I’m not going to get into how the Federation are clearly space Nazi’s right now. However I’m not sure how my username should effect my feelings about freedoms we no longer enjoy in the UK. Freedoms that according to the UK government only pedophiles and far-right extremists care about. Don’t forget that as our freedoms are being removed I now need to use a VPN to access Lemmy.zip because we have rampant censorship and no free speech.


  • Yes I know why. There are far-right people. (Possibly Musk and Trump) but then there are right wing people. People that simply want free speech, a free and open internet, privacy, border controls and not have illegal immigrants going to the head of the line for public services. Non of which we have anymore in the UK. But everyone not left wing gets lumped together and branded a far-right extremist.

    The leftists are completely tolerant of others. Until you disagree with them.



  • Everyone that isn’t a Leftist gets slapped with the far-right label these days though. Especially by the British government where ANY anti-immigration sentiment or even patriotism is branded dangerous far-right.

    Hell even waving our own flag in Britain will get you labelled as far-right.

    The term gets thrown around while most people don’t really understand it. That is what is dangerous.
