Places like cash app and venmo… where you can have predation turned up to 11.

A trap for people isn’t something I’d consider “useful”.

Just like a pedo van offering free food to kids… sure kids get fed, but at what cost?

And without my.comment, fewer hits because users cannot see it, which means less people provide training data.

No single drop feels responsible for the flood.

What gets us there is long term stability.

Grow organically, and they will come.

First, the tech enthusiasts, then tech journos, then normal journos, then normals.

It’s how online spaces grow.

I guess the neocons in Texas aren’t up for backing states rights anymore.

I did, bc reddit locked up my content, and wanted to use it to train a LLM.

Let people ask again, here, in the fediverse.

The US population, as a whole, moved right.

Bruh, we literally elected a fascist.

The left didn’t move “farther left”, that segment has grown bigger, is all. The right didn’t move farther right, they’ve always been white supremacists and misogynist. That segment has grown a lot recently, hence the Overton shift.

We have Android and ChromeOS for those “just want an appliance” users.

The rest of the distros are for those with varying needs. Arch, Gentoo, for the full control folk. Debian for stability folk. Ubuntu for cloud. ELs for data centers.

Etc etc etc

Oh… he will, lol

We had two candidates that were both pro-Palestinian genocide.

Trumpers blame Obama for things during, and after, the Trump administration… still.

Lol, no shit?

They assumed all Black people know each other already, so no need to doorknock.

I wish I was fucking joking. They assumed it would be impossible for brown people to not hear all they needed to know via organic word of mouth.

Regardless of this action, Pelosi is bad.

That’s not true.

A perfect campaign would address the issuers voters have, and not insist everything is fine and voters facing homeless or food insecurity are just “leftists insisting on purity”.

Harris said she would let Israel keep doing it’s thing, and just talk about it.

That’s essentially “funding the genocide”, no matter how you split it.

And yes, people decided to NOT choose between two pro-genocide candidates. You are, of course, free to ignore that, and act still confused about why she lost support in cities with large Arab populations.

Neither party is interested in brokering a y deal that doesn’t include Israel genociding Palestinians.

Biden could have ended it by ceasing arms transfers, which he is legally required to do, since it was found the arms were to be used to aid a genocide. That’s US law.

And another good option!

I mean, I read that as two class traitors, one of whom did the praxis to show which side he is on.

All of those were on the chopping block. Remember we froze discretionary spending in year 2 of Biden. He called it a win for America.

Trump did tariffs in year 1, Biden left them, and added more.

So, yes, people voted to disrupt the status quo, in which they starve. Will they still starve? Probably, but the change was a chance for it to be different, rather than a 0 chance.
