paf0,

His only legislative win was a tax cut? Let’s not forget the Supreme Court. The Christian nationalists already won a big prize with Roe being overturned. Some of them want to take away more civil rights with gay marriage and now even divorce, hopefully people are paying attention.

paf0,

To play devil’s advocate for a moment, is it really a free market if we are incentivizing one technology over another?

paf0,

Trump would be focused on destroying our institutions rather than other countries. There is definitely a difference.

paf0,

“lesser evilism” is the entire system, since nearly the beginning.

paf0,

If they organize, they won’t even make it to the military, they will be quickly stopped by our militarized police force. I fear that this is going to end up with crazy people commiting random acts of terrorism.

Reddit: 'We Are in the Early Stages of Monetizing Our User Base' (www.404media.co)

Reddit said in a filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission that its users’ posts are “a valuable source of conversation data and knowledge” that has been and will continue to be an important mechanism for training AI and large language models. The filing also states that the company believes “we are in the early...

Rich people with medical care tend to live a long time, look at Jimmy Carter.

paf0,

I suppose that’s better than being a ‘white supremacists first platform’ but I bet they’ll probably still do that too.

Meat is a problem, but there are a lot of contributing factors. Shaming people doesn’t help them hear you.

paf0,

fwiw, XMPP/Slack/Discord/etc basically solve the same problem that IRC already solved. Software Engineers just reinvent the wheel again and again as everyone loves a green field.

That said, Meta cannot be trusted. They’re going to do a year or two of embrace and extend, pretending to be good citizens. Then they will invent some crisis that causes them to want to de-federate, likely that content on other servers is not moderated to their standards or that convoluted features of their extended protocol are not being met. This take seems pretty spot on to me.

It's never been a better time to switch to Firefox (www.androidpolice.com)

• Firefox offers better privacy and security than Chrome, with upcoming support for 200 new add-ons. • While Chrome dominates, Firefox gains ground with user-friendly browsing experience and open-source model. • Mozilla’s focus on user privacy and transparency challenges Google’s ad-centric approach, making Firefox a...

paf0,

Chrome was much faster and more stable than Firefox for a time, but they’re similar now.

paf0,

This is the truth. The fact that this is all due to inflation that was caused by Federal Reserve money printing during the Trump administration will be lost on most people.

Granted that was all due to COVID (and exasperated by ignoring it for a time), but still, Biden will be blamed.

paf0,

It’s not censorship, it’s just smart people protecting themselves from liability. Some things are clearly illegal and the admins should not be expected to take the heat for people who participate in those illegal activities.

paf0,

Awe, do you need to sell Tesla shares to support that Twitter debt? Poor Elon.

paf0,

Guess they’re not wired for puns. Time to switch the conversation to something light so you don’t run up the meter with their resistance.

paf0,

Wow, this was my first thought as well. I wonder if it would help to have an etiquette manual with examples of how to disagree respectfully.

paf0,

It’s funny that they think they can’t be replaced. It will take a while but 5 years from now Reddit will be the MySpace of social news of they don’t stop bullying their users.
