What is the advice from the internet? Did you invest in Tesla and now invest in Open AI because who cares about ethics if you can make money? Anthropic has the obviously the better product and were seemingly ethically better until they burn

This is obviously a flippant comment that shouldn't be taken seriously. But the loss of LiveLeak seems like the loss of the journalism that the Internet was supposed to bring. There were a lot of odd things posted on there with some un

I learned the concept of social engineering in middle school through those AOL CDs. There was a culture of making proggies and learning about the inner workings of how AOL the program and the company worked if you were interested and knew w

Using statistics to lie shows your weak position. Slaves were the backbone of the southern economy. Saying slavery only was supported by 1.6% of the population is the equivalent of only counting the owners of the church building when discus

>But then, let's not pretend that Brendan was a bad person or that he did something wrong A majority of people in the US at one time felt slavery was perfectly fine. A majority of people in the southern US that could vote supported

I feel as bad for the farmers who voted for this as I feel for the farmers who were hurt by the civil war and the ending of slavery. They knew what they were supporting, thought they would be unaffected and actually benefit from the result.

Why assume it's people who can't Google down voting and not Russian and Chinese plants. There's all kinds of topics on here that trigger a down voting campaign that works pretty well on non top comments.

Some US states have started trying to ban or require ID for Bluesky. Is it possible to self host on your own hardware that allows somebody to get around that. If not the decentralization doesn't seem real.

If you are worried about malware from your pirated content you are going to the wrong websites. The good ones are hard to get on and have severe consequences for the uploader and whoever invited them.

Are you complaining in this post about the suffering of Gaza while downplaying the suffering of black people in the US and the work black people have done? Because you think its productive to pit the different groups against each other?

You also do what black people have known since the civil war ended. You run for office. Hispanic Americans have learned this and their voices are now heard, Asian Americans also seem to finally understand this point. Gay Americans and other

Black people have known for decades, you vote for the people that don't actively hate you. Sitting out of the process does absolutely nothing, whether its a protest vote, pretending that politics don't affect you, or just giving u

An insurance company CEO was famously shot in broad day light just before he went into a meeting to celebrate his accomplishment of denying people healthcare for his company's profits. Nobody felt bad except other CEOs and the people t

All 100 would agree that the website looks better without ads, unless their paycheck came from them. And those that disagreed would still think it in their heads.

With Ad Nauseum, the extension destroys your ad profile by clicking on all or nearly all of the blocked ads. The only people that lose anything are the companies.

This is a fine social contract for the independent blogger just sharing their thoughts on the Internet and maybe hoping to get a few dollars for their server cost. Mega corporations that have been sucking up personal data for a couple decad

There's quite a few accounts on here that will argue in good faith and bad faith that people enjoying oral, anal, gay, bi, or any kink has already ruined society, whether it's solely via porn or real life. The argument usually sta

Kids being murdered is just as awful in Palestine, as it is in Africa, Asia, the Americas or anywhere else in the world. But, at what point does the rest of the world get to run out of "fucks" to give about their conflicts. I thin

I'm a black developer and have never had another developer tell me about their support for Trump. The past 10 years have made it plainly obvious why. It has also made me realize how difficult life was for my parents and grandparents, w

There is an argument to be made that Waze helps white people avoid prosecution where as an anti-ICE app based on their current focus mostly does not. There is no point in pretending there isn't an explicitly racist goal in many of the

Or just block the ads, let others subsidize it for me until the executive greed eventually turns the product to crap and we collectively move on to the newer options that have filled the gap. Cable used to mostly be ad free as well. Now nor

It needs to be the "shame and embarrassment" Nazis felt at the end of WWII and not the traditional shame and embarrassment they are used to feeling after losing the civil war and Jim Crow laws. It will just happen again in a gener
