  • Surely This tech billionaire is different right

    Jump

  • That's not how any of this works. Bluesky isn't an agnostic protocol like http or a piece of paper. It's a private platform, with arbitrary rules. Arbitrary rules that apparently do not prohibit ice.

  • Surely This tech billionaire is different right

    Jump

  • Yes it does. It means they are okay enough with them to not ban them.

    Surely there are some things that warrant a ban on bluesky. There's some sort of line beyond which you are not welcome. We can infer from this verification that ice is on the safe side of the line.

  • Nazis and their allies should not have a platform.

    When blueksy verifies them, it tells you that bluesky is aware of their presence on their (private, centralized) platform and accepts it.

    Thus, the verification requires allowing them to have a platform.

    Since they should not have a platform, they should not be verified.

    Bluesky just verified ICE

    Jump

  • Lol, yeah. If I saw an account labeled “American Nazi Party” with a blue check mark, I wouldn’t think “wow, Bluesky endorses Nazis” - I’d think “wow, this isn’t a satire account, these are actual Nazis, imma block them.”

    I'd think "wow they let Nazis on here. Like they know about them and are cool with that. This place is trash"

  • Kianna Underwood Dead: Nickelodeon Actress Dies in Hit and Run

  • This also could belong in c/fuckcars

  • Work in the office or not at all

    Jump

  • I almost got an in-office job recently that would have doubled my pay. I'd make that trade. But they went with someone with "more cross functional experience", what ever that means.

  • Out smarting older people

    Jump

  • My parents tried this many years ago.

    Since then my dad has gotten better- he runs Ubuntu and so far as I know keeps it up to date. My mother on the other hand gets upset if anything at all changes on her computer, and so never updates or anything

  • 'The president is an idiot': Senator unloads on Trump's 'really dumb' obsession

    Jump

  • . I will never understand how he got these people so duped

    They are stupid. So, kind of tautologically, they reason poorly and make bad decisions.

  • ICE walked into a Mexican restaurant in St Paul, the crowd made them feel so unwelcome, they walked right on back out empty handed.

    Jump

  • I think ice are sincerely the more stupid chunk of the population. They literally don't think good.

  • 24 members of Congress are 80 or older. More than half are running for re-election.

    Jump

  • How would you prevent the cognitive test from being used to remove candidates for political reasons?

    "Sorry, he failed the test because he couldn't sing the texas anthem"

    You could maybe have the questions and answers public, but the voting public is poorly informed and educated.

    You could have some sort of third party do it, but then the conservatives would spend decades corrupting that.

  • I spent a year on Linux and forgot to miss Windows

    Jump

  • Yep. I've been during linux as my main desktop for maybe a year or two now, and it's been fine. I don't tinker with it. Most things just work.

    The only thing that's been a little dicey is mods for games, but I think I just need to figure out how like wine and proton prefixes work. It's probably not hard, I just haven't had a need lately.

  • Ottawa sees dramatic drop in speed compliance after photo radar scrapped

    Jump

  • Eliminating speed cameras is tacit approval of speeding.

    It's a little insane to me how speeding is handled.

    If it's a serious law, it should be uniformly enforced. None of this "cops pull over some people" nonsense that opens the door to harassment and quotas.

    Furthermore, fines need to scale with wealth.

  • DND fulfills our deepest fantasies

    Jump

  • That's my kind of game. The "let's not be political (even though it is political)" flavor is less appealing.

  • Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform

    Jump
    • read Bandcamp's writeups. Sometimes they do a deep dive into a genre, city, or band. https://daily.bandcamp.com/
    • if you find something you like, scroll down and there's other users who bought it. Peek into their collections
    • if you scroll down further on an album, there will be more recommendations
    • you can search by genre or tag, too

    I don't get why they're okay with this

    Jump

  • The thing you need to weigh is the inconvenience of them putting in the effort to become tech savvy. That’s a big inconvenience. So, the inconvenience of dealing with ads and whatnot looks much smaller from their perspective.

    Yeah, I can follow the train of thought. They don't know that like an hour of reading now will save them decades of pain, I guess.

    Like, there's degrees. Learning how to compile Firefox from source with custom changes is way more work than "search: how do I get rid of ads? Search: best adblocker. Click install on ublock."

    Which brings me back to what I was trying to say earlier. People imagine dealing with these problems is way harder than it actually is, so they don't even look.

    Something like this is coming up at work. They're like "oh it's going to be like weeks of work to get a linter for our code" and I'm like "it's fifteen minutes please just let me help you".

    Jump

  • I dunno, a lot of the people in my life that aren't tech savvy are inconvenienced. The ads pop up and block stuff. But they don't know how to do anything about it.

    I guess it's easier to just do nothing and suffer than learn what adblock is. It's easier to use the shitty defaults.

  • I Hate Github Actions with Passion

    Jump

  • There's not to my knowledge a good way to run/test GitHub actions locally. So if I want to verify my change uploads the coverage report after the end of the pipeline, I have to run the whole thing. And then I find an error because on the GitHub runner blah blah is different

  • You choose who you platform

    Jump

  • People have weird ideas about free speech. As if a private org must provide a platform for anyone and anything. But then also they're not that upset when tits or dongs are removed. So the platform both is and is not allowed to moderate itself.

  • Well that's fascinating. I'm not sure what to do with this information. Maybe read the study more carefully when I have more time
