Machinist3359,

I'd like the name to be "community feed" and "feeds" for short. Reddit was always essentially a collective rss with voting weights. In this way "subs" would still work since one subscribes to the feeds.

Ultimately it's something the devs need to encourage though

Honestly even if we just cut out pork....this animal is as smart as dogs and just as social and loving.

Machinist3359,

If you need to make up stuff to get mad at, don't post it next time.

CBP saves people who are dying while crossing, detains them, and sends them back. This policy is to let them die horribly instead, because the Texas gov is run by white supremacists who want to kill Mexicans.

Fwiw Kayak has built this search feature in specifically to filter out the 737 Max. It's quite difficult to avoid Boeing, but other models are usually available, esp from American Airlines.

Machinist3359,

Keep that in mind when we need Australia to take American refugees, friend.

Machinist3359,

Lucky us, long term disabilities and dementia instead!

Machinist3359,

The thing is AI voices are only good enough to trick most listeners. If you know what to listen for, or can dissect the audio professionally, it's trivial to fact check.

There has always been image/audio doctoring. Any reputable news source can reasonably identify these things.

Trump’s Plan to Police Gender. His campaign is promising a more repressive and dangerous America (www.theatlantic.com)

After decades of gains in public acceptance, the LGBTQ community is confronting a climate in which political leaders are once again calling them weirdos and predators. Texas Governor Greg Abbott has directed the Department of Family and Protective Services to investigate the parents of transgender children; Governor Ron DeSantis...

Machinist3359,

He sucks, but the man can read a room. The right felt they lost on anti-gay so sowed an anti-trans movement for about a decade. Trump's just here to reap.

Not to mention most modern office buildings can't be converted into what is actually useful—housing. They need to be simply scrapped and replace.

If we adopted more mixed use zoning, there wouldn't be this juggling act and waste. Cities could adapt to needs.

Machinist3359,

Broken democratic mechanisms and a split conservative party? Surely this doesn't proceed a fascist dictatorship...right?....RIGHT?!

Machinist3359,

They are getting a huge propaganda push on every advertisment avenue. TV, Hulu,YouTube,TikTok. If you can pay for reach, you're getting Israeli propaganda aimed towards Americans

Machinist3359,

The tricky thing is innocence is unfortunately relative.

Israel is a colonial project, much like America was. Most non-native non-black Americans came to the US to benefit from the displacement and genocide of indigenous folks--and later, the subjugation of the global poor though imperialism.

Such it is in Israel, with many European Zionist leading the charge (and still do when you look at the illegal settlers).

In both contexts it's not helpful to plea to innocence. There is a difference of power, and with that the freedom to make better choices.

Santa has a history of, regardless of naughtyness, giving more and better gifts to children of those with capital. Not only that, he excludes people based on a religion litmus test.

Santa could end scarcity, but won't.

Machinist3359,

Good. Beef (and I'm sorry, dairy) really need to be cut out of our diets. Cattle are the least sustainable livestock, even when raised in "quality" conditions (free range grass fed). It's so wildly subsidized that it's also the cheapest often.

Frankly there are plenty of alternatives and they will be more prevalent when the industry needs to actually cover cattle costs themselves.

Insurance companies will love the new discrimination machine, best not think about how it handles edge cases /s

This sort of AI use should be banned outside of a research context.

Confederate memorial to be removed in coming days from Arlington National Cemetery (www.seattletimes.com)

A Confederate memorial is to be removed from Arlington National Cemetery in northern Virginia in the coming days, part of the push to remove symbols that commemorate the Confederacy from military-related facilities, a cemetery official said Saturday....

Machinist3359,

Simply replace it with a memorial for the enslaved folks these losers fought to subjugate. Let the Confederate legacy be lost to time and honor the people who persevered through unimaginable evils.

Machinist3359,

To be clear this is unlikely to be a long term nation wide internet blackout. Rather, e.g., turn off the Internet in a section of a city and send in troops to deal with a protest.

Machinist3359,

I'm not super familiar with the right terminology, but in short I think users should be able to follow whoever they want, but restrictions on how it is interacted with is fair game. I think following and replying to threads accounts is sort of a must, even if boosting and other functions are disabled. Also on favor of preventing non-replies from being sent to threads.

The real issue issue is interop with Threads means surveillance of users. Limiting the info going from here to there is essential. However a read-only mode that lets us get some value out of it is fine

Machinist3359,

They'll boil the frog slowly enough. Threads is huge compared to the fediverse, and will likely do piecemeal federation. Like sending account activity out but not sharing any fediverse voices, getting everyone here following and desensitized

Machinist3359,

It's so striking how dizzy Nate is here, and frankly a bit lazy. Not a drop of historical context, just vibes, to essentially write a "kids these days" post. It's so incurious and vapid.

Liberals in the US are really struggling with having a left flank, after decades of thinking gay marriage is okay was the civil rights end game—and they were blessed with the wisdom and heart to see it. Turns out the overton window has moved, and they're stuck in a gray middle ground. All the horseshoes and pyramids won't retrieved that smugness lost

Machinist3359,

Y'all are conveniently ignoring the fact that this an outdated charter and can't find such language in the new one. Just another day clocking in to the genocide defence factory, don't forget the emojis.

Machinist3359,

Unverified fear-bait.

There's no shortage on stories of cases where Israeli soldiers rape Palestinians --of any gender. In terms of murder, we know which side has the higher body count, so let's not pretend we don't.

Machinist3359,

Just say it. Just call them savages you want exterminated.
You don't care about death or suffering, you care about how "impure and backwards they are". To be cleaned for "progress"

You're building up to it, just speak plainly. You want to improve the land of Palestine by clearing out the savages. It's the genocidal colonial logic you subscribe to. Let people know who you are.

Machinist3359,

I like the idea of having a few OP abilities, but having them require non-trivial preparation within an encounter. E.g. "charging" for several turns without moving or taking damage.

Machinist3359,

Sounds like a useful loophole for gun reform and getting around the 2nd amendment.
