I’ve never been more sorely tempted to post an old man fedi rant that you should get off youtube and onto peertube in my life.

I, uh… yep, it do be like that:

“I Wasn’t That Stressed About America’s Falling Birth Rate. Until I Realized It Was Women’s Fault”

I get my access to most of my news through my local library. My library card comes with access to NYT, WaPo, and the Seattle Times, amongst others. I pay my taxes, my library pays a deal with the news site, and everyone’s happy. Seems like a good setup to me.

I’m so hype. I’m most excited about the elevation system, and most curious about the predation engine — do you think there’s implications on the prey populations if you kill the predators?

Depends on how exotic the alternate dimension is, I suppose – maybe a physics or chemistry book, or a local language to a language you speak dictionary, might be preferable in some cases.

Seriously, just block them. It’s not a punishment, it’s a curation tool; you’re allowed to block people who haven’t done anything wrong just because you don’t want to see their content. If you don’t like women’s sports, block me! It’s fine — you should have the social media experience you want, and you can use the block button to get it.

Moderation. We had a big influx of users with the Reddit api drama that created a bunch of communities, and then all returned to Reddit shortly thereafter, leaving most of the big communities largely unmoderated. The threadiverse isn’t going to become less toxic until new moderators step in and clean up the worst of it.

Does he know he can just call a press conference basically whenever as HHS secretary? Cabinet members don’t have to launch podcasts, they can just say stuff over a podium and actual professionals will make a bunch of podcasts for them out of the audio.

Low quality and easy to digest are orthogonal concerns. You can have high-quality posts that are easy to digest and low quality posts that are hard to digest. We shouldn’t make grocery bags heavier to increase the average person’s upper body strength, even if it would work.

Unfortunately, this time it really is. “Fire ze missiles” in the US military is an extraordinarily one-man band kinda decision. Certainly, the problem has more complex origins and potential resolutions, but in the extreme short-term, this is a very “one person” kinda question.

You reversed the polarity just for me? 🥺 👉👈

You get those bennies, gurl (nongendered). Every cent we spend on the VA we’re not spending on bombing foreign countries, so you’re doing us a double service.

I’m just a little guy and the vibes are already so bad, can you stop please?

I agree, but I still think the “1 in 5 know” formulation is worthwhile. “0.2% of people are in a relationship with an ai” isn’t as concerning to me as “20% of men are receiving social signals that dating an ai is socially acceptable” is.

It used to be that if someone was concerned the government was listening to their thoughts, they’d make a hat out of tinfoil to protect their thoughts from eavesdroppers, and it was an easy identifier they were not well mentally because obviously the government isn’t listening in on your thoughts. Now, if you wear a tinfoil hat to protect yourself, I know you’re mentally unwell because obviously the tinfoil isn’t strong enough to stop the government from listening to your thoughts.

Can you even block banned accounts?

Especially if you are from a country that has to pay the $15k bond. There is no way you’re getting that money back, and it is not worth it to attend a world cup. Just go to Brazil next year.

Oh that’s awesome! Thanks for sharing the link; I’m gonna rewatch it.
