  • And yet, she was still sentenced to five years in prison. Legal fees aren't going to make up for that.

  • I mean, Michael Wolff is out there, with plenty of email evidence that he was a hack "journalist" that was practically a PR agent for Epstein. Why attack Brooks?

  • The Intercept, the same rag that ratted out Reality Winner, is lying with headlines? Say it ain't so!

  • The Defense Department's new ChatJAG turned out to be better than the human chain of command.

    So, what the fuck are we waiting for?! You know what to do!

  • I’m pretty sure he was not detained. And, I’m pretty sure that just overstaying staying a visa is not actually a crime. I’m pretty sure that entering their car without a warrant for arrest like that is a crime, and gives a reasonable person fear of imminent bodily harm or death.

    I'm pretty sure ICE will do whatever the fuck they want in this political climate.

  • Some things bothered me, and seemed worth the removal, like "slave". MySQL 8.0 deprecated it, and 8.4 removes it entirely.

    But, the whole white/blacklist thing seemed like we're making color associations that don't really exist.

  • Doesn't matter. If they haven't convinced people to switch to their platform, they haven't solved the problem of transforming the medium.

  • I see Bluesky handles more than Twitter handles nowadays, even among popular streamers, YouTubers, whoever. And I can't remember the last time I've seen a Mastodon handle.

  • leads it into being something truly unique and wonderful that directly challenges some of the most evil and wealthy people on the planet,

    Everybody switched to BlueSky, not Mastodon. So, I feel like this whole project has been a failure, especially in the marketing dept.

    BlueSky barely got started in Feb, and people immediately jumped ship from Twitter by the millions. Mastodon started nine years ago, and people hardly know what it is.

  • Uhhh... no, it's not. Learn to cook. Hell, just learn to heat up frozen foods.

  • I mean, how much is banana? Like $10?

  • Depends on the area, and it can be hard to move out of big cities sometimes.

  • I'm sure a large part of that has to do with David Zaslav.

  • Every country has a whole bunch of “that guy” who likes to do stupid shit to the detriment of society. Sometimes it’s the poor and uneducated, sometimes it’s the ultra wealthy unburdened by their sociopathy. It varies.

    The poor and uneducated are that way because it's in the ultra-wealthy's best interests.

    "I love the poorly educated!"

  • If the data is falsified that’d be illegal.

    Oh no! It would be illegal!

    And what would be the punishment if it was found out that they released illegal data? A fine that could amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars? On top of their tens of millions of dollars of profits?

    Do you have a reason to think otherwise?

    Yes, they are directly incentivized to either push their data in a biased direction or outright falsify their numbers, in order to facilitate the marketing strategy of these taxis being a "safe" technology, and increase their profit margin.

    Fuck... have we learned nothing from the tobacco industry?!

  • I know about trans people and cross-dressers. But, in a political cartoon, with characters that are light on details, artists (or AI in this case) will use easily-identifiable, stereotypical signs to showcase a trait or gender. For example, lipstick, or a bow, or a dress or skirt, to identify a character as female.

    We all know this and are exposed to this pattern all the time. Or are you seriously suggesting that the bill is trans, but is somehow also pregnant?

  • Funny how most laws are incentivized to punish the poor, by setting static monetary fines that rich people and corporations would scoff at.

  • Waymo robotaxis are so safe that, according to the company’s data, its driverless vehicles are involved in 91 percent fewer crashes compared to human-operated vehicles.

    Wow, you think the "company's data" is a trustworthy source? Where is your critical thinking skills?
