Tiktok gets banned for showing pro-Palestine content. Facebook gets an aww shucks for spreading endless misinformation

Oh, I didn’t know that started on Kickstarter

There’s only one thing I can think of that actually succeeded out of Kickstarter, and that’s the Pebble watch. Still the best smartwatch ever made imo

Hate speech is not protected by freedom of speech. You can’t yell fire in a theater, you can’t plot someone’s death on the internet. And corporations don’t have to follow freedom of speech. They only refuse to step in because they either agree with what’s being said or don’t want to lose money.

They only did that after A LOT of backlash. Their initial stance was to do nothing. This article sums it up really well:

They lost me when they refused to do anything about Kiwi Farms. Protecting privacy is one thing, facilitating hate crimes is another.

Nope, the steering wheel has no mechanical connection to the wheels. There’s not even a mechanical emergency brake, that needs to be done electrically too.

It’s not even cool, it’s scary. What happens when this 7,000 pound brick loses power? There’s now a battering ram flying down the road with absolutely no control.

They’re getting smart to that and are starting to hard code server IPs, circumventing any DNS you have in place.

I think that’s part of what she’s saying. She’s been very very open about not wanting to be worshipped. This all started with her saying she didn’t endorse either candidate when asked in an interview and she’s (rightfully) mad that people have blown that way out of proportions

Did you not watch the video? She explicitly mentions transphobia and genocide. And she made that video because a quote of hers was taken out of context (much like you’re doing) and people were saying her not endorsing Kamala meant she supports Trump.

She’s been getting a lot of hate for not endorsing Harris and people fail to realize the difference between endorsing and voting. Her entire point is that the government can’t be fixed in a day. Voting for Harris is the obvious choice but her being in office isn’t going to magically solve all our problems.

Don’t worry, they have DreamBerd

Booleans can be true, false or maybe. Technical info: Booleans are stored as one-and-a-half bits.

Fascism, the answer is fascism

I think the best bet at federated video hosting is with something like IPFS or even bittorrent. If every client is also a host, that would greatly reduce the bandwidth needed for any one server.

No, it’s when people realized it’s a scam

The tech bros had to find an excuse to use all the GPUs they got for crypto after they bled that dry

It’s because when banks make loans, they sell of the debt, but nobody has wanted to buy the debt for Musk’s loans. My understanding of this is essentially, if someone takes out a loan of $100 million, the bank will sell that debt to an investor for $101 million, and the investor will make back $102 million once the loan is paid off due to interest. But no investors are confident enough that Musk will pay back his loan so no one is ponying up the dough to buy it.

And she’s there to give them a voice. The people who are against Nazis don’t want to be spoken for by a Nazi

I used to find stuff like this fascinating. Like if collecting my data can help me, why not? But technology has gotten to a point that it’s just straight up creepy how our every single waking moment can be tracked and collected, even if it’s me collecting it. It’s like watching every dystopian sci-fi story come to life in real time.
