  1. Rather than fighting against ad-tech , they're caving. If someone comes into your house to punch you and rob you everyday, do you say "let's find a solution that we're both happy with, how about you rob me and don't punch me?"

  2. We could have argued about how privacy-protecting this is, and whether it will actually prevent further intrusive tracking. Perhaps I might be persuaded to keep it. But the fact that I wasn't informed about being opted in when upgrading, and the fact that the CTO is doubling down on "users are too stupid to understand this", means they've lost any trust and/or willingness for me to listen to them. Turning this off for good.

They will keep doing what they’re doing

Wrong.

This plea deal helps them quantify the cost of safety lapses, which they didn't have before. Now they know that they'll only get fined a tiny bit, they know that it'll be worth it to cut further corners if that helps them sell maybe 5-10 more planes in total.

that's fine for a small discord group but it doesn't scale. you can't be that active in moderating millions of conversations.

downvotes (and hiding downvoted comments) is a community-driven way of signaling unacceptable behavior. it largely works, except in echo chambers.

It's real easy to purchase your first home, all you need is a can-do mindset, an always-hustle attitude, and a small $2m loan from your dad. Anyone can do it!

maybe an unpopular opinion: fuck capitalism and corporate greed and all that, yes, but would you rather that space be used for a cemetary or housing? I don't mind my bones being put somewhere with a shit view if it means living people don't have to see that shit.

genuine question: do people use twitter to catch up with folks?

As much as I hate it, I still occasionally use fb to message old friends, and instagram to keep up with friends. twitter... used to be for following celebrities but i've gone off that since (and if i wanted to, i can do that on insta).

I know the general narrative is "Google bad", but this seems like a healthy thing?

First of all, if this is a way for employees to report privacy incidents, that's a good thing.

Second, given the enormous reach giggle has, the fact that it has "thousands" of privacy incidents collected over many years isn't a large percentage at all.

There's a certain cheesiness and non-political-correctness that's refreshing.

Also discovered a few mods like Shockwave that I wanna try.

A 23-year-old German-Israeli woman who was kidnapped from the Nova music festival by Hamas militants on October 7 has been declared dead, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs has said.

“We are devastated to share that the body of 23 year old German-Israeli Shani (Louk) was found and identified,” the ministry posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, on Monday.

A source involved with her identification told CNN Louk’s death was announced after forensic examiners found a bone fragment from her skull.

In an extraordinary show of support for organized labor, President Biden said he would join workers in Michigan on the front lines of their strike against leading automakers.

The United Auto Workers expanded its strike against major automakers Friday, walking out of 38 General Motors and Stellantis parts distribution centers in 20 states.

Another 5,600 additional workers joined the strike on top of the 13,000 of the 146,000 members that began the strike one week ago.

Ford was spared additional strikes because the company has met some of the union’s demands during negotiations over the past week, said UAW President Shawn Fain.

“We’ve made some real progress at Ford,” Fain said during an online presentation to union members. “We still have serious issues to work through, but we do want to recognize that Ford is showing that they are serious about reaching a deal.”

“At GM and Stellantis, it’s a different story,” he said. Those companies, he said, have rejected the union’s proposals for cost-of-living increases, profit sharing and job security.
