He’s a fundy traitor. Just because he finally caved on this issue after ENORMOUS political pressure, doesn’t mean he deserves any credit. He should be jailed for all the lives lost in Ukraine while he dicked around and held this up.

In Canada, they have an idea called “right to peace”. It means that you can’t stand outside of an abortion clinic and scream at people because your right to free speech doesn’t exceed that person’s right to peace.

I don’t know if that’s 100% how it works so someone can sort me out, but I kind of liked that idea

I think from context we can assume in favor of. I don’t think anyone is accusing Reddit of masterminding the Gaza conflict. I haven’t been to /r/conspiracy in a while through.

“we have successfully confirmed that the state of this person’s welfare is no longer a need for concern”

It must be really hard to type while you’re gargling Putin cock. Your objectively demonstrable lies constitute a deliberate spread of disinformation. Go piss up rope.

We’ve known for about a decade now that the Republicans are on the Russian payroll. The war in Ukraine impedes their goals and has stifled their funds. They are traitors to the United States and her people and enemies of democracy.

It’s been a far right echo chamber for about ten years now, so I don’t know that this holds up.

Ding fuckin dong.

Should have died in the Hague

I feel like that might also violate some regulations

You might be interested in data.gov. The Obama admin kicked of the Government Open Data Initiative to provide transparency in government. Agencies have been given a means to publish their data, which US taxes pay for. You’d be surprised what’s in there. It’s not an algorithm, but you could certainly build one from that if you wanted to.

If I had to guess, this would be more about putting the breaks on genocide by giving us a hand on the wheel. Given how the Biden admin has handled Ukraine, I’d say that their team has been very pragmatic about escalation.

That said, we just got out of one pointless forever war in Afghanistan. I don’t think we need another.

It’s more evidence that the platform is being run by investors that don’t really know what they’re doing. Reddit was a great platform, but instead of spending energy to “fix search” or “build better admin tools” they put their focus into buzzwords and ads. The NFT profile snoos, the crypto approach - is just pandering to the idea of an IPO so that they can all dump their stock and make a buck. Likely used engagement numbers from before the layout changes to pitch advertising without updating them as to how engagement has changed.

If they had any intention of running the platform long term, they would balance the experience that Redditors are used to with a sober approach to advertising. They would create meaningful community features and charge for them as a community add on (such as a community event calendar that ISN’T Facebook, community marketplaces, association management, etc.) With the audience and reach that they have, the long term profitability of the platform was almost assured. They would have adopted federation in order to aggregate even more content. They would have rolled their own AI instance into their search and community recommendations instead of freaking out about it. Instead, we got NFT avatars that literally nobody asked for, because crypto bros.

Fwiw, the site has shit the bed. There isn’t nearly as many active users as people seem to think. There’s… A LOT of very obvious bots. New communities that being floated now are clearly gaming the algorithm. It’s very obviously different than what it was.

You’ve clearly never taken for the ole’ poutine scam. Everywhere you buy poutine, they tell you that “this isn’t REAL poutine. You’ve gotta go to __________”. It’s always somewhere else. This poutine is in another castle. Don’t fall for it. It’s all so they can tell sell more plane tickets to Montreal.

I use a Windows box for gaming, and Linux for the main workhorse. I’ve got a pihole on the network that handles most outgoing traffic.

Weird. I’m not using it because of the Microsoft name. I can’t help but think that it’ll go through all of my files and privacy and narc on me to the feds for my abandonware games. Pass

I’m making this claim based on the Wright Bros exhibit at the Smithsonian Air and space museum…

One of the genius things that they did was invent scaled testing (I’m not 100% sure I can make this claim, but I’d be happy to learn it I was wrong). Rather than building the device and testing it, which killed a lot of people through history, they built miniature components and tested them individually to prove concepts, and THEN built their production version in iterations.

Like, to test airfoil designs, they built a table top sized wind tunnel, put a miniature airfoil in, and evaluated its performance, and made determinations for the final product. This SIGNIFICANTLY lowered design costs and prototyping at the time.

This also happened to result in an airplane.
