  • I'm sorry, what sort of "hacktivist" group targets water treatment plants? That's not hactivism, that's terrorism.

  • Remember: ICE are not people.

  • ... themselves. They're coming for themselves. Republicans literally want Sharia law, just with lighter complexion.

  • Isn't that the case with just about every coffee producer?

  • Yeah, I don't think it's mold. Or demons. Dude's 120% back on the benzos.

    Where do you get this from? I'm not super caught-up with Taylor Swift's lore, but I know that Kelce is largely progressive, and has quietly supported Kamala.

  • No shit, Big Tech is going to kowtow to whoever is in charge.

    Remove Apple's restrictions from the equation and just make it a PWA. This isn't the sort of app that needs to run natively on your device, anyway.

  • Unless you like seminars about GNU, there's not really a lot of original media on the Fediverse that the average person would be interested in.

    The Fediverse is a niche within a niche.

  • One thing to keep in mind with body dysmorphia is that what you think about their body is unlikely to change how they feel about their body. Often times, dysmorphia doesn't stem from outside influences, and is an entirely internal struggle. Depending on what their dysmorphia is rooted in, showering them in praise may help them accept their body, or may compound their negative emotions ("I'm ugly and I'm dating an idiot").

    You both have valid desires, but they're both at odds with each other. Honestly, I'd recommend a therapy session for the both of you. It would probably be beneficial to have a neutral third party involved in the conversation.

  • That's an example of it specifically not working.

  • That actually happens kinda frequently with some TV shows. For instance, The House MD theme song is famously Teardrop by Massive Attack, but some streaming platforms didn't get the rights to that song, and they replace it with a very similar song. I was watching House with a friend a while back, on Netflix I believe, and remember thinking "Wait a sec, this isn't Teardrop", and sure enough the credits listed a completely different song for the opening.

  • If one day YT sets a "minimum requirements" page on their website to access their content, they've immediately ceded market share to the next upstart. Imagine if they broke viewing for all of the countless cheap (and e-waste) phones, tablets, low end IOT devices, "smart TVs", and so on because they place a requirement that the device cannot meet. Those users will not throw away their hardware - they'll migrate to the first available alternative way to watch content.

    This all incorrectly assumes that there exists any viable competition to switch to. YouTube ran at a net loss for over a decade to get the reach they currently have, only because Google was one of the very few companies who could feasibly afford to do so. Nobody else with the resources to compete with YouTube is willing to compete with YouTube, because of the massive cost required to get even a fraction of that user base, let alone a critical mass.

    And most of the content people access YouTube for is only found on YouTube, so those hypothetical users aren't going to switch to a new platform, they're going to either just flat-out stop watching or will replace their devices.

  • Those are fantastic solutions if you don't want anybody to watch your content.

  • You said it on live TV, jackass. We all saw and heard you.

  • The courts stopped him, at least temporarily, TBH I've lost track of that one.

    I've got some bad news for you.

    https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-trump-ftc/

    The high court said in a brief order that it will also allow Mr. Trump to fire Rebecca Kelly Slaughter from her position at the FTC while it considers the case. It will hear arguments in its December session, and its stay will remain in place until it issues a decision. Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented from the majority's decision to allow Slaughter's removal.

  • Those votes don't affect the score on the original instance, though. Other federated instances will still be able to calculate a truer score in that scenario.

  • Okay.

  • Admins should only be looking at who downvotes posts when there is some sort of history of vote-abuse happening. Somebody voicing their opinion with their votes is a perfectly valid use of the upvote/downvote system.
