  • Good. Now, extending this logic, if I have ZERO WATCH HISTORY of shorts videos on my account, then... STOP CLOGGING MY SUBSCRIPTION FEED WITH SHORTS!!!!!!!!!

  • EPA Approved a Fuel Ingredient Even Though It Could Cause Cancer in Virtually Every Person Exposed Over a Lifetime
  • Anyone have an idea of how much of this is "the EPA" versus vestiges of the virus that trump/pruit were as they purposefully broke agencies like this? How much of that poison remains in the org today?

  • What is an iconic catchphrase from your grandparents?
  • Oh man... this takes me back.

    My grandpa used to always say to us kids, "I'm going to go upstairs to have sex with your grandmother".

  • PSA: Intel Graphics Drivers Now Collect Telemetry By Default
  • Can someone please explain telemetry to me in this context? Is telemetry just a broad umbrella term for usage data or does it indicate a specific type of data or category of data?

  • Twitter Turning Into X Is Set to Kill Billions in Brand Value
  • Of course there are degrees of usefulness and different types of organizing, but generally, your wrong here in your first point. Some merit in your second claim, but overall, it's something they likely feared to a degree as a point of connection and amplification of information.

  • Twitter Turning Into X Is Set to Kill Billions in Brand Value
  • He needs daddy's approval and the other billionaires are surrogate daddy. That would be the social agenda influence you're referencing. Look at how desperate and odd he was on stage with dave chapelle, that was a core view into his base self, he needs to be praised. He's also a eugenics/natalism cult member and sees the wealthy as his equal, superior "race" of people - so he would 100% sacrifice a lot for even their passing approval.

  • Android users who don't use the stock launcher - what launcher do you use, and what do you like about it?
  • Wallow looks interesting, how is it on battery use though?

  • AntennaPod
  • Had anyone here switched to this from pocket casts? Anything you miss, did you go back?

  • McConnell and Feinstein episodes raise age concerns about US leaders
  • They didn't raise the issue, it's already on top of the mountain... of bullshit... that is modern politics.

    Get these fucking people out yesterday. Driving tests (and politician tests) annually, after 75.

  • Twitter is now X
  • No it isn't.

    No... No it's not... But you can imagine what'd be like if it was, right?

  • People Aren’t Facing Up to the Horrors a New Trump Term Would Bring | G’bye, NATO. G’bye, “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” repeal. G’bye, democracy. He’s telling us plain as day. Why aren’t people listening?
  • People are listening, you're watching too much corporate news - they are angling him as legitimate to "make a race" and get ratings. These cynical fucks aspire to be the announcers of the hunger games one day so they can wear the glitter makeup and be the center of attention.

    Trump's base is a dwindling 25% of those who vote, he already lost last time and his indictments should add up to something. The problem with our gerrymandered kleptocracy is that the federal elections come down to Shirley in Ohio/Pennsylvania. Shirley did the right thing last time around but she's back at the prom now and everyone wants to dance with her - how will she vote? Suburban moms in the Midwest, mostly non-college educated, hold the fate of the future in their live, laugh, love scripting hands...

    So when you say "people aren't facing up to" the people of not here are Shirley and her friends. I don't know if she's convinced that trump is a viable candidate after Jan 6, the stacking indictments, Biden's moderate centrist progresses, and the Florida nutjobs as a mock trial of what would come from a gop win in '24, but keep the pressure on until the election regardless.

  • The Fall of Stack Overflow
  • I'm sure they are bad, because general corporation and enshittification cycle, but when someone consistently mentions, "a single tweet" or something like that that they represent as purely innocuous (but without any explanation or link to source), gets my suspicious radar WAY up...

  • Twitter Turning Into X Is Set to Kill Billions in Brand Value
  • On purpose.

    Only clearer by the day that this was all an exercise to intentionally kill Twitter to the benefit of billionaires, fascists and other extremists.

    Twitter existed as a relatively free and open public space to communicate, organize and assemble to take actions for and against things at scale before musk (e.g. The Arab Spring, a terrifying moment for the Saudis especially - the second largest shareholder behind musk).

    When people collectively laughed at elon and his cringe, inbred, emerald boy antics or his humiliating divorce and other routine failures, Twitter was the bullhorn.

    Now elon and his desperate far right Toadies will work to try to rewrite reality so they can eventually have this conversation:

    "Twitter? What's a Twitter? Wait, are you talking about blork? A bird? No, blork's logo is a dinosaur with chainsaw arms... and everyone wants to be his best friend... and it's against the law to divorce him... and he's cool... and..."

    What an everlasting tool history will remember you as, elon. If they remember you at all, it will be to laugh at you - you'll never outrun that.

  • Land use in the US
  • You're mis, mis MISUNDERSTANDING this map.

  • Please recommend an ergonomic mechanical keyboard
  • Not pretty, but Kenesis (sp?) is the winner. Tried many available options through work, stuck with their design for years now.

  • It’s bots all the way down at kindle unlimited
  • "Folding Ideas" does amazing work on YouTube around exposing grifters in well structured, long form explanations of their grifts.

    One of their videos looked into a group of growth hustler type folks, a pair of twins. Part of their scam was automating the process of creating fake books like this from start to finish to sell them online for passive income.

    Highly recommend anything this channel creates. Worth your time to have a focused sit to watch the journey unfold (especially if interested in the main subject of this post).

  • Microsoft wants to move Windows fully to the cloud
  • Feel like this may be missing needed context.

    For example, if I say, "man, I'm going to take a huge bite out of that thing!" it's a different conversation if I'm looking at a big sandwich versus looking at a newborn baby.

    So... Anything else you might want to share about your specific statement or its focus?

  • I haven't been on Reddit since the 11th... Anyone else?

    Just realized that the other day.

    I had initially intended to feel it out and honor the blackout from 12-14, then figured, "I'm here now, might as well ride out the month if Reddit isn't responding in any meaningful way to the community's requests" and now I think I'll just be in the fedi apps for the foreseeable future.

    It's different here, but it hasn't been a struggle and it gets better and better with time. Feels nice to not support inhumane and user-hostile endless corporate greed.
