Interesting observation. I really wish anything we see could be trusted regarding the war rn, but fog of war is one hell of a thing. Let’s hope we will see everything that propaganda has pushed after the war is over.

The dream.

They should make Reddit pay 20mio per month per third app they killed off. Sweet revenge.

Mmm yes, let the snake oil flow through you.

They’d do better finally fixing teams. We’re talking years after release, and there’s still no option to change my status behaviour. It forces DnD when I get called, it puts me afk after only 5min, …

Their software does not fundamentally work very well. So even if this bs would be talking about an actual feature, that’s some stone age project management right there.

Yeah you never know what their research looked like. Maybe they checked and got a whole bench of oil execs in there.

Sounds like they knew what they were doing.

Not a crypto hater so much as the idea of it goes.

It’s a lot like the rest of the internet: anonymous things moving and interacting can be unpredictable. From what I’ve seen on the dark net, I’d assume we will see the same extremes manifesting in transactions; that is that it will be very helpful for crimes, but also very helpful for ppl who need weed medically but can’t get it legally, ppl who need money because they are pursued politically, or ppl in other dire circumstances.

It’s all very complex, and I think there is a legit good reason for it. That said, I’m not the person to judge what outweighs, I just know it’s far more complex than “crypto bad” or “crypto yes”. Let’s just hope whoever will be in this position is far knowledgeable in that regard than me.

Man there’s literally only one thing stopping me from using mastodon and that’s likes.

I know marketing, and shit, and likes sometimes skew things, but without likes any toot is given the same weight, no matter if it’s a good or bad toot. There’s no way for me to see through the chaos that emerges from this.

I know there are reasons not to do this, but I damn well know I’m not the only one, and I’m sure it would make it more appealing for a lot of ppl unfamiliar with mastodon. You could even make it optional so ppl can turn it off and there would be no harm done.

That’s a big yikes and I hope they will find another way…

Omg that was the Reddit client I used

All my dreams are coming true. This was worth seeing Reddit crash and burn. Yes. I like this new age.

wtf

isn’t that censorship and therefore not conforming with EU laws? I might be wrong here but I just can’t see this having a solid legal basis.

oh god you’re right - it will be the ultimate hung jury and it will be annoying af.

the good thing is, in the current climate I can’t see Trump getting reelected.

try oceanofpdf maybe…

and it is those mythical lizards with just above average intelligence that we need to fear.

unfortunately liftoff is not at all working for me currently.

I logged in and now my subscribed community posts are just empty, which is the whole point.

I do wanna see where they go tho.

unfortunately my dad who has a diploma in engineering and is working in that field for probably 30y now is still prone to it.

Whoever spread those conspiracies should die a slow and painful death to experience a fraction of what they brought on to a lot of families and friends.

…and this is why you don’t betray the mercenaries you hire.

Definitely should put that on the git issues with log files and stuff.

Any guidelines? AI allowed? Size requirements?

I’m probably not gonna make one but asking so other ppl have the info.

that is giving me deja vu

he already hinted to pulling out of EU Code of Practice

I’m very interested what his game plan is, because he kind fucked himself by firing too many law compliance employees, at least thats what I remember.

There’s no mechanism iirc.

I want it to happen to, I want them to have to report to an ethics committee yearly and if something smells fishy (and this time a little bit like salmon) they should have a trust vote by the American public.

I have good feeling for the effects on environment tbh, because it changes a lot of ethical and environmental concerns. Some of them will definitely be gone for good.
