Of course they’re kissing Trump’s ass. How else is anyone gonna get anything done in the next 4 years? American democracy is broken, and under unitary executive theory endorsed by all branches of government the President is basically a king with term limits and no shiny hat. It’s no way to run a country, but it’s where we’re at so why would we expect TikTok to do anything else?

The breaks are subjective, irregular, determined by consensus. Generally they’re determined by significant societal events and their impact on people based on where they are in life.

I’ve been using Grayjay and it seems to be a good front end for YouTube.

I see microblogging as a way of following the thoughts of someone you’re already interested in. Maybe a friend, maybe a famous person. But it’s not a way to get deeper understanding. Nothing profound has ever been conveyed in a tweet. So I don’t know why I would look for the tweets of strangers. It’s more of a event tracking or relationship-maintaining kind of communication tool.

Oh dang. I’m sure users wanted it, but it’s too effective as a mobbing tool. I don’t think it’ll help the protocol.

I guess I don’t understand. Why would someone want to “find” microblogs of people they don’t already know about from elsewhere? It’s like wanting to find someone’s email to me.

I think the lack of quote tweets is a feature and not a bug. They facilitate a lot of antisocial behavior on other microblogging sites as I recall.

Credible threat probably.

Last panel almost has you thinking it’s not all corpo social media.

You shouldn’t keep TikTok, it’s trash, same as most social media. But this also shows why banning it is bad. It’s not significantly different from any of the other brain-numbing, privacy-disrespecting trash out there.

It’s not being targeted for the things that are wrong with it, it’s targeted because it’s a Chinese company. That’s the problem with the ban.

What’s crazy to me is just how inconsistent it is. You can call a group of people trash and that’s okay, but calling them vermin isn’t?

For all the crap on X, the Community Notes I’ve seen have been actually kinda good. Not that I’ve seen a lot, because algorithmically sorted public microblogging is still discursive cancer with ideological hepatitis that I mostly try to avoid.

Not like they’re a bunch of committed leftists working there.

Which is more likely to impact a Meta employee personally?

I’ve wanted to root my LG, but I’m not sure how. The last thing I found for that when looking involved using the JavaScript on a website I think. Seemed sketchy.

Underrated? I’d say lftp is the best FTP command line client there is. And Midnight Commander is a very very good file browser. I don’t see either praised enough.

Someone doesn’t just get followed into the bathroom I see.

Pikmin 3, Vampire Survivors, Gang Beasts, Pico Park, and a little Minecraft.

It’s really good actually, unless you were looking for a different kind of game.

Depends a little on the type of work (contract work is different), but generally disagree. Just because you can do the work in less time doesn’t mean everyone can. You can use your spare time to do other things, but if you’re only showing up 20h/week for a full time job, there’s no reason to pay you full time wages.

There’s something off kilter with the labor system when some people are doing the work of several workers while others are doing the work of half.
