I’m glad they used up political capital that hasn’t directly done damage and now allows her to take the position without as much resistance, most likely. I’m sure they will still try to go against her, but it will be all the harder when articles like this allude to a non progressive agenda in the old establishment within the party.

I suppose you could pose the question differently. Who would you give 10,100,1000 to if they said they needed it but they said no questions asked.

Yes, all sex he has is transactional. He’s not seducing anyone.

Yes, the more people see that what they observe is not reported in legacy media, the.mkre they seek alternatives.

When the ira was bombing the uk and thatcher was lucky to not die in a bomb, there’s a famous quote that they only need to be lucky once, she needs to be lucky every time.

Do you use thunder on iPad? How do you exit from a video link, eg youtube? There is no back or X or gesture.

The point is that under offering users the ability to have all network requests altered is not secure. The user needs to authorize it and there are valid reasons to do so, but there are also bad actors, that will misuse that. I am pretty security conscious, but I can’t tell you which extensions have which permissions on which devices I use, between Firefox, chrome, safari on windows 10,11, android, iOS and opensuse. Placing all the responsibility on the user just removes it from where it should be, which is privacy focused code.

Yes, but other extensions are not and can access the same permissions. They can even steal the unlock origin source code to do so.

It depends on whether they can control the military. If so, they need them for when people don’t comply. However, the military has many, many people, so it comes down to having to buy compliance against the national interest which can be more expensive.

The point is not to curry favour with voters. It’s purposely kneecapping government functions. Kicking out the competent workers, to install loyalists.

Lol, I’m gonna say no as I posted in a technology news community in response to news about Tesla trucks not being tech news just by virtue of being Tesla or musk related. OP was not happy.

I don’t wear a watch but if it fixes the problem, might be worth looking in to.

Not to mention the right wing authoritarianism. You’re not alone in noticing. The theme song is great, though.

Ok, we’ll let’s keep the plane analogy. If they could run on 50% less fuel, would you invest in airline fuel companies, thinking they will be having bumper sales figures?

Yes, but if they already have lots of planes, they don’t need to keep buying more planes. Especially if their current planes can now run for longer.

AI is not going away but it will require less computing power and less capital investment. Not entirely unexpected as a trend, but this was a rapid jump that will catch some off guard. So capital will be reallocated.

Yes, there are, but minimal physical assets. That’s the point. They likely aren’t even enough to pay employees.

I think you’re missing the point. There are no physical assets. There is users and engagement. That can be used to push a narrative or to sell advertising. As users leave, neither works and there is nothing to sell.

Nah. Blahaj is also a safe space and well moderated without impinging on others enjoyment. Hexbear actively discourages other communities from participation, not with prejudice but with memes and childishness.

There are probably lots of great communities on hexbear but their bigger ones give a bad reputation to the instance in general. I’ve interacted with some great members in communities on non hexbear instances but for my instance at least, defederation was a net benefit.

If federation allows blocking communities, rather than instances in the future, that could change. However, currently it’s only on a per user basis, so it becomes tiresome.

I think it’s a valid point that the concern being raised about tik tok is just as valid with other apps, both from Facebook or Twitter etc and from overseas apps. People are happily giving up their data and don’t see a distinction in how it is being used for disinformation by different state actors. It’s all misinformation.

People are apathetic to the risk, but also don’t see the risk for foreign government snooping as significantly higher than internal snooping.
