Newsweek was unable to independently verify at the time of publication whether the people on the boat were from the antifa movement.

Oh, fuck off. I’m unable to independently verify whether the people on the boat were Newsweek employees.

I recall this recent quote from him at Bedminster when asked about his campaign strategy: “All I have to do is define her as a Communist or a Socialist or say she will destroy America.”

It seems like such a lazy non-solution. Essentially telling shooters “Hey, from now on, you can only use ALL THE OTHER GUNS” as if that solves something.

Wonder what the percent of AI datasets being propaganda is

I’m glad they’re adding support, but I also feel like this is a hard one to sell to the general public. If it creates a better experience, word will get around about it, but going on stage and talking at length about how there’s a new messaging protocol would have been a challenge for non-technical viewers

I just read they decided to default it to off. They should remove it entirely imo, but with this move, it costs IT departments $0 and 0 hours of their time to worry about.

I think business + government + education usage is more important for them than personal, and as long as this costs them nothing, I doubt it makes a dent in anyone’s plans. Could have been an apocalypse if defaulted to on though.

I don’t think Steam supports any sort of sliding scale system and they have a price parity rule which would be broken by offering it elsewhere

(for demonstration purposes only, please don’t think I’m like this)

I think it shows some of the strengths of federated networks. If the owners of a small proprietary social network ghosted their project, it would take a huge effort to try to replace it, which would be insurmountable for many communities. But in this case, a community can fork onto a new server pretty quickly and seamlessly.

They’ve raised over $80 million. Investor money is a poison, and the only antidote is enshittification.

I could be wrong, but I don’t see a path forward for Biden, and I think the Israel/Palestine conflict is a big part of it. It’s so polarizing among Democrats/leftists. Biden will either be viewed as a genocide supporter or an anti-semite, and it’s very difficult to find any sort of middle-ground. I don’t think Republicans are as emotionally invested in it - they just don’t want to see too much money sent away.

I’d place Twitch in that spot before Tiktok as well. Bordering on unusable for years

I had the anti-self-checkout mentality for a bit, because I didn’t want to see cashiers losing their jobs. One day at Target I was waiting in line at the human checkout, and the cashier started yelling at everyone in line that there were multiple self-checkout machines open. It sounded like she hated our guts.

Fine! I’ll use the damn machines. Haven’t bothered cashiers since then if I have other options.

edit: to be clear, I’m not blaming all cashiers for her attitude, I just want to do the right thing without being a pain in anyone’s ass and I’ve learned that sometimes that means using self-checkout

Millenials were the original “avocado toast” generation targeted by boomers. We’ve been conditioned to protect our young from the real babies in these older generations. But there are good ones and bad ones in every generation.

yes and you can also leave out a plate of cookies where you want a strong signal so the wifi waves will go there when they’re hungry

I’ve noticed a huge increase of ragebait AITA posts every time I check the front page. They’re all pretty similar - disowning a child or deciding not to attend a wedding. And people fall for it every time. It’s kind of sad to see one of the smartest places on the internet turn into social media junk food.
