What an ice queen. I said Ohio to her and she didn't say anything back!

I read a couple times these journalists saying that fediverse is basically left wing.

Oh you dear sweet summer child...

Look, those Muslims are very good at gathering cotton and sewing tennis shoes. Can Kanye do that? I thought not.

Forget getting fired by elon, every single one of those people needs to be in jail, and if it's true that Twitter was filled with FBI agents, every one of those FBI agents needs to be charged as an accomplice.

That hasn't worked out very well for most union workers. Companies are smart, and they figure out pretty quickly how to get their hands in the pants of the unions, then you've got two organizations working against you instead of one.

I feel like everyone needs to keep on repeating this Time after Time: Twitter is presently fighting a lawsuit because they absolutely refused to take down confirmed child porn after it was reported by the child in the porn!

All these pretty words from people with danger hair mean nothing.

"what happened when I was forced to see what people actually think of me because I couldn't get the prince of Saudi Arabia to bend my enemies for me"

Not to mention, you don't get paid economic growth. You get paid what you get paid.

The richest people in the world would be more than happy to see economic growth continue to increase at the cost of the worker, because they do get paid in terms of the amount of stuff going on in the economy.

But history tells us a lesson, and that is when the number of workers starts to decline the working conditions of the common Man improve. That happened after the world wars, that happened after the black death. And if it can happen for a nice reason like everyone got old and died surrounded by family, that's probably a lot nicer than it happening because of world wars or Continental plagues.

I don't even blame him. If I spent 44 billion dollars on anything I would be treading like a super spy. "Ohshitohshitohshitohshit I'm gonna break it"

So far, I'm kind of finding that a lot of little servers scales way better. After all, only the people who are communicating with each other end up communicating with each other, so even though there may be a massive amount of traffic overall, individual instances don't see but a fraction of that because it has nothing to do with them.

I mean, my instance is hosted on parts scavenged from a roadside sign.

I like to think that for the purposes of bill C-11 this post counts as cancon.

Forget about the girl, how about the institution that would invite someone like that on?

"Higher learning"? Nein danke

Pretty sure your american, it's a founding principles of the country.

Absolutely. That's the core of the liberal (in the sense of liberty) ideal in my view, that if everyone leaves each other alone then it doesn't matter nearly as much who is in charge.

Tisdale Saskatchewan, you shall never be forgotten!

I just figure he's a shyster. A modern-day P. T. Barnum.

You're right though, as long as you don't take any of it too seriously it's entertaining to watch.

Sort of interesting, Twitter was always a totalitarian hellscape. There's a reason why I deleted my account 5 years ago. The only thing that's changed is the authoritarian leader at the head of it now disagrees with the people that the leadership previously agreed with.

A $10,000 question should be: given a choice between a decentralized distributed censorship resistant platform and an incredibly centralized incredibly expensive big Tech alternative, why would anyone choose the former, even if the big Tech oligarch at the middle of it happens to agree with you this week?

Would it be awesome if they did that for us, just give us one or two instances that we can all block?

I'm totally against blocking, but if we're talking about an instance with nothing but journalists on it? Well I'm still not going to do it because I'm lazy and as per the TOS of the site I'm not your dad, but in principle I can make an exception.

I do have to admit, there's a lot in the skilled trades that needs to be fixed.

Lots of kids who want to get into the skilled trades can't until they pay for their own degree just to get on the radar to get one of the infinitesimal number of apprenticeships. The others who get them are the ones who have family working for the company, or people who are politically beneficial to get an opportunity.

It all comes down to shortsighted companies. They want to have great tradesmen, but they don't want to have to make them.

Can confirm.
