@Ministar I agree with most of this (and had the same issue at some point... how many times can the universe be rebooted???). But the whole thing has become about people's feelings, including the dang computer, like you said, right when there is a mortal danger at hand. A lot of the characters have become just bundles of feelings and it's just not that interesting. . That is where the other series (LD, Prodigy, and SNW) are much more successful, in my opinion.

@KelsonV Yeah but the ratio of feelings / rest of the plot was way off, for my taste.

Before I go to sleep.. :blobcatgiggle:

Not sure it matters but..

Should I just put a ‘disclaimer’ notice on the about page with something like?

“The content on this platform CANNOT be used for A.I. training/data harvesting.”

At least I kinda don’t want it.. 😇

@stux Yeah, put it and add "you should see the 💩 people post on here anyway." 😄

***** Google is now implicitly endorsing the violence and worse of the Jan 6 insurrection *****

Let's be clear about what #Google's decision to permit election fraud videos to return to #YouTube really means. Election denialism led DIRECTLY to the horrors of Jan 6. By claiming that such videos are just like any other form of political speech, Google is wittingly or unwittingly ENDORSING that violence into the future. Unfortunately, it's that simple. And as someone who loves YouTube, I am both disappointed and disgusted. -L

@lauren Time to get off YouTube and get on PeerTube.

On a typical day, which of these social media account types do you tend to value most for consuming breaking news and information.

@shoq I picked 4 because since moving to the fediverse, I have been way more active on Feedly, the RSS service I use for news.

Why do I have the feeling Elon Musk’s pick for new CEO is going to be a total wingnut?

I hear Laura Loomer is looking for a job.

I am not going to not post articles from places with paywalls, for I'm a media critic. I am going to start blocking people who complain every time.

@loke @jeffjarvis some do, like the NYT and WaPo but they limit gift links to 10 per months. Maybe with some coordination, we could spread the sharing.
