yeah I don’t think a usa based platform is really “long gaming” the fee speech problem. Bluesky now shifting to monetization plans. Its a matter of time until some rich dildo buys it up. If were lucky it will be mark cuban or somebody buts its still grim prospects.

couldn’t you just run games through linux?

My eyes glazed over reading this. Its like hearing people with 6 houses complain about property taxes.

He understands that even to be “independent” in this kind of election system you have to caucus/primary with one of the two parties.

Its literally politics 101. This is why we need ranked choice & proportional voting.

The only way to deal with them is to call them on every bluff so that making a bluff becomes a liability’

x is a government platform now. Sign onto your government social media account.

This is framing only billionaires can buy. The problem is less this is the reality and more that the billionaires who own like 90% of the media can make people believe (including democrats like harris, because her immigration policy was not a product of donors) that there is something to this.

Democrats had some solid policies like paid family leave on the table and I just don’t think the messaging made its way to the people that needed to hear it.

because americans see voting the same as buying and endorsing a thing which is objectively wrong.

Not buying a product hurts the manufacturer.

Not voting does jack shit. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

America has powerful Karen/Kyle energy where people overreact to a slight flaw in service and this argument is the Karen/Kyle Tantrum argument over genuinely bad policies supported by Harris. They think if they take a fit this election they will be in a better spot next election. The reality is that more poeple will be homeless and out of reach. The media will be in worse shape.

Voting is always a trolley problem.

But overall I don’t think that’s the biggest group of people. The majority of people that didn’t vote I think were tuned out of the election because of ongoing failures.

All those guys who decided to sit it out on X.com (the non porn site) really did a great job making a difference there. Good job team twitter.

we need some kind of “subscribers bill of rights” both to discourage and to check the stupid business models.

I feel like this is a recurring theme for the silicon valley billionaires and we reached “Peak Bullshit” at NFTs and ever since then one thing after another has hit wall after wall

post it to c/sexy voters.

correct.

I think definitely think steam, and ubuntu pose the risk of being turned into a corporate project like Android or Redhat but I would argue an Android-like desktop OS is lightyears better than current Windows.

god everything except linux is going to run like shit in 10 yrs

this has been my theory. Gun ranges, especially indoor ones are linked with extreme levels of lead vapor. Throw in a bit of narcissism and a lack of education and you have a recipe for a mental gymnast. Although I think QAA podcast has noted that like extreme surgery recovery drug cocktails/routine breaking seem to also be turning points in many people’s journeys where they start to seek out conspiracies

its absolutely linked to narcissistic traits. Its not difficult to see.

which article did they take down? As other posters have noted the ANI page is still up, they took down the wiki page for the ongoing lawsuit which is common practice for.lawsuits.

insane takeover of the public square here.
