Good! Hopefully one of those other apps is federated and free from any hostile interests.

Yeah, they should shut down both. Honestly, X should be on the chopping block even faster that Meta, but Zuck seems committed to racing Musk to the bottom.

because the goal isn’t for more transparency in their service, CTA is mismanaged trash rn. It’s to have less transparency, so less people realize that the delays between trains still have not returned to pre-pandemic levels, and likely never will.

I dunno, seems pretty good for queer spaces and shitposting, but I guess .world doesn’t know much about either.

I’d add another difference: way more idiots. Back in the day, that idea that everything on the internet needed to be taken with a grain of salt was incredibly widespread. It was one of the bedrocks of internet culture, and it’d get memed to death.

Now, the number of people who view everything on the internet as gospel truth has surpassed the number of healthy skeptics.

I’m not sure, but locals tagged “Deny, Defend, Depose” near me. If nothing else, seems there’ll be good branding made of it.

Just accept that it’s wiggy at first. You’re being dragged along on a very high level heist with experienced professionals in their field, and your primary pov is a drug-addled hacker who struggles to differentiate meatspace from cyberspace. They’re not going to stop and explain anything, but you’ll understand the vibes.

If you’re still hot for it afterwards, give it another read. A lot more makes sense once you have an understanding of the bigger picture.

honestly at this point, why even use real numbers? Just ask for a bazillion rubles, it’s about as likely as 2 undecillion.

Cool, now I can try and remember to get fully migrated to Linux before October next year.

I’ll bet $50 this is because they plan on pulling the plug on old reddit soon, and don’t want to allow the inevitable protests.

Temu isn’t a social media network that has been known to boost specific narratives with their algorithm. The U.S. isn’t saying that China can’t sell and market to the American audience, just that they’ll need a supervisor if they want to mess with media.

You didn’t have to mention his party, everyone knew he was a Republican from the headline.

In case you weren’t aware, it’s actually pretty easy to pay for a VPN in unmarked funds. Most will allow for BTC transactions, but some VPNs will even allow you to use giftcards for a place like Target.

They should, and the EU should logically ban both if they’re unwilling to moderate the hate-speech and lies that infest their platforms.

The problem is that to argue this point, you have to start going through all of the facts like case conversion rates, the domestic abuse rates, the rates of racist attacks by law enforcement, and the membership overlap between law enforcement and white supremacist groups. Once you start bringing up that many numbers, the idiots get confused and their eyes roll out of their skull, whereas the centrists get too scared realizing that basically no cop is actually trying to keep the U.S. safe and try to shutdown the conversation.

They have been. The problem is twofold; Airbuses are limited in the U.S., and airlines have increased the rates on those tickets because I guess a working airplane is now considered a premium.

Yeah I’m sure I’ve said enough stupid shit on the internet that my comments will also be AI poison.

What would be really fun is a tool like this that introduces AI poison, just fills your old comments with even more nonsensical information. Presumably, the more people who used the same tool, the more similarly terrible data the LLM would receive, and it would start outputting stuff even dumber than glue in the pizza sauce.

There’s also no longer any button on the mobile web client. Your options are to upvote, downvote, or click on the three dots to expand every other option, including reply, all at once.

Nah he’s great. He should take the rest of those brain worms, I think the worms should be in charge!

Yeah, except China has been committing a genocide and would gladly commit an atrocity on the scale of Israel x Palestine to Taiwan if the U.S. blinks.

Yes, the U.S. is evil as hell, and yet China is still worse. The U.S. doesn’t have citizen reeducation camps, people don’t get disappeared for talking out against dear leader. If you can’t understand why giving an adversary like that unfettered access to people’s minds is a security risk, I’ve no interest in arguing geopolitics with you.
