Aside from a shrinking number of subs the only thing redditors can convince me is that I should stop looking at reddit. So if that’s your bar . . .

CopenAI

The funny thing is using a good adblocker and I haven’t noticed a single youtube ad, so if they’re to blame, they’re also the solution. I don’t see how this move functionally does anything other than punish those who can’t block ads.

Not just bought either, he had to sue them too in order to be called a founder.

Fifth column resistance, Sabatoge, and things you cant say on the intetnet.

Tomorrow Trump becomes the commander in cheif of the executive branch, the branch explicitly in charge of enforcing the law. The concept of salutary neglect is not new to America, and I don’t think much could stop him if he decided to simply not enforce the law as written. As you point out, it would not be the first time the country played by it’s own rules made up on the spot.

I can be very critical of the fediverse, especially where I want it to do better, but I think stagnation isn’t the right word I think ‘maintaining’ fits more. The fediverse isn’t beholden to the grow or die model capitalist projects need and it remains a space that is unique enough to warrant people coming back here, or coming here for certain reasons or content or whatever. I think the model to hope for would be continue maintaining and being ready for when the next group of people get fed up enough to follow through and come here (fediverse in general)

Tiktok went dark voluntarily, I don’t think the US even has the infrastructure to enforce the ban. So yes, all he has to do is tell the CEO to turn it back on and tell the app stores not to delist it. As Cheif of the executive branch, enforcement of the laws is your purview.

The current Ban was not brought into motion by Trump, the current Ban started being discussed in congress in 2024, trumps efforts fell apart, shockingly enough. https://apnews.com/article/tiktok-timeline-ban-biden-india-d3219a32de913f8083612e71ecf1f428

Lmfao oh man because AMD wasn’t encroaching enough on intels market share, make your brand even more political than it already is. Hitching their trailer to a beneficiary of apartheid is notoriously on brand for them though, so there’s that.

They must have learned that from the banks. Same playbook, all platitudes designed to not even take effect until the current leadership has bailed on the company with massive golden parachutes.

Considering Musk is a tech Baron, kind of. “Tech baron leaks DMs of user on tech platform he owns.” Just doesn’t have the same click bait factor. Social media remains to be technology, you can probably find a more exclusive tech sub where it’s banned, but under the massive tech umbrella it’s likely the most universally understood modern technology.

A similar phenom happened with TV, once there were hundreds of channels people started leaning heavily on nostalgia. I think it just that an overwhelming amount of options makes the whole experience more taxing on executive function and you can’t help but notice the garbage you filter thought because you just have to filter through so much more of it. I guess advertising plays a hand in the levels of exposure too. It’s why it felt like when you were a kid a good game just fell on your lap and now gaming being more visible than ever you still feel like when you find one it’s a hidden gem among coal.

I think if you looked more or in different places you’d find more you like.

Most propagandized nation in history

No but its only gonna get more expensive so do it if you can swing it.

I don’t drive Nissans but a family memebr of mine has forever I don’t mind them and haven’t seen too many issues, im just glad Mitsubishi isn’t a large part of this, yet anyway.

Im always stuck on the point that we never consented to existance, can I simply decline to be born in this hypothetical because I think thats my pick.

The shot heard round the boardroom

Yeah that makes sense, im no expert but whats that saying ‘physical access is root access’ or something along those lines. Id imagine this is true (in spirit at least) about the cables.

Its designed to be used for pen testers so they don’t have to spend $20,000 on the alternative cable. Its a single cable thats costs like $200, so im not really worried many people are going to get hacked because they accidentally bought a $200 cable.
