The biggest scam that my parents' generation taught me is that one's credit score is a measure of how good you are at paying off debt.

It's actually a measure of how good you are at <having> debt.

@Lana I'm surprised people still care about that shit. Maybe it's because my life path is different than theirs and therefore I don't need a good credit score as much as they do, I don't know.

@cohomologyisFUN @Lana It really shouldn't be legal for them to do that. What even is the legal basis for the existence of a credit score?

Friends of mine are currently preventing the Tesla Gigafactory from being expanded in Berlin by occupying the forests scheduled for being cut down.

They call themselves a water occupation due to Tesla's overuse of the local water supply causing droughts and disastrous effects to the local environment. Follow them here: @teslastoppen

But Tesla helped the environment more than any other company on the planet, eh?

@ErikUden I really, really wish countries would step it up with the seawater desalination so shit like this stops being a problem.

Never mind at the first sentence is bullshit—they’re running because they’re the incumbents and what the hell else are they going to do—the entire Biden-Harris statement in the Washington State voter pamphlet is unfathomably badly written.

I’ve seen better in high school student council elections.

@ct_bergstrom It reads like a passage in a middle school social studies book. Short sentences, dumbed down language... I hate shit like that.

We are adults. Write for adults.

There are 2.4 million starving people in Gaza. This is an absolute joke.

@mondoweiss @palestine @israel Maybe they wanted to watch people fight over the meals and livestream it.

"A man carrying his child's body parts in bags, a child blown to pieces and hanging from a wall, starving humans mown down as they get food aid, a person tied down and flattened by a tank. I dread to think what we haven't seen. There is no language to adequately describe this evil." - Alex Turrall

@ned Welcome to the wonderful world of genocide. It only gets worse from here.

“This is how any new surveillance method starts out: The government says we’re only going to use this in the most extreme cases,” EFF’s @cooperq told the @washingtonpost. “But these things always end up rolling downhill.”

So what incentive even is there to own a smartphone if all anyone's ever going to do with them is kick you down and abuse you?

The Supreme Court has handed Trump another win, which will likely delay the start of his federal trial for the MAGA insurrection until after the election. No court has ever recognized presidential immunity from criminal prosecution. Despite a lack of legal precedent and universal rejection by lower courts, SCOTUS is once again helping Trump avoid consequences for his crimes. https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/trump-team-celebrating-supreme-court-immunity-decision-1234978336/

@indivisibleteam I'm willing to bet that Trump will never see a day in jail for anything he did, or have to pay out any of the civil penalties he was slapped with. The system we're trapped in is authoritarian and needs lack of accountability to function. If there's accountability, especially with a high-status individual like Trump, the whole house of cards comes crashing down.

A hacker has stolen $6.5 million worth of crypto-assets from cryptocurrency trading platform Seneca. The company confirmed and attributed the hack to a vulnerability in its smart contracts.

Seneca recovered 80% of the stolen funds after allowing the hacker to keep 20% as a "whitehat effort"—whatever that means. The speed at which funds were recovered and how generous the "whitehat effort" reward was raises serious questions.

@campuscodi By "white-hat effort" I guess they mean "struck a deal with the hacker"

    “When (social media) platforms have First Amendment rights to curate the user-generated content they publish, they can create distinct forums that accommodate diverse viewpoints, interests, and beliefs,” EFF’s @davidgreene told @CNN
    https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/25/tech/us-supreme-court-landmark-social-media-cases/index.html

    pinkdrunkenelephants,
    @pinkdrunkenelephants@mastodon.social avatar

    @eff @davidgreene @CNN Honestly, it doesn't matter. Corporations are going to work together to censor anti-establishment viewpoints and promote themselves and will twist the law to let themselves do it no matter what the law says. They are not to be defended.

    Mastodon may not be as big as some other social networks. And it may not have as many celebrities & "influencers."

    But it sure is a nice place to engage with curious, thoughtful & interesting folks in ways that I haven't experienced elsewhere online.

    Rather than a chaotic circus, uniquely feels like a (mostly) friendly neighborhood.

    pinkdrunkenelephants,
    @pinkdrunkenelephants@mastodon.social avatar

    @Sheril Mastodon is honestly a lot better than most of the garbage sites out there. The userbase is actually halfway mature.

    Not gonna lie this iOS PWA thing is pissing me right the hell off. So now I have to choose between not being able to use PWA's or not being able to type properly. This is what it's like as a disabled smartphone user in 2024. I hate it. So much. Burn it all down.

    @talon I'm out of the loop; does that mean you guys can't use F-Droid?
