Still seems low. Imagine someone who said, “just sign here. If you make it through the next 44 years without leaving this cell, you’ll win $25 million.” Would anyone take that deal? A settlement is supposed to make a person “whole.”

Defederate.

They can have a corporate silo. They can use an open standard. But they cannot do anything good for the fediverse. The best thing for the fediverse is to let them exist as a walled garden (and we can put up the wall).

There are about 10 million users on the free fediverse. That number has grown steadily and sustainably. There are 160 million threads users. They were instantaneously leveraged onto the platform by a billion dollar corporation (possibly in violation of antitrust laws).

If we federate, Threads won’t become a part of the fediverse; threads will become the fediverse.

EEE

So you’re upset because a reporter is checking their information rather than rushing to premature conclusions? The video was taken down by Twitch and could not be immediately verified. Now that it has, the article reads:

Leading up the incident, Bushnell said in the video that he “will no longer be complicit in genocide.” Later, as he burned in front of the Israeli Embassy, Bushnell could be seen on the livestream yelling “Free Palestine!”

Waiting a few hours for reliable information is exactly what a good news agency should do. People demanding news that rushes to conclusions regardless of their information is what leads to misinformation.

The technology uses a phone camera to capture an image of someone’s face and calculate their likely age.

People about to view porn love to have their picture taken and uploaded to a database. I see literally no problems with this whatsoever.

I am so sick of his comedy of grievance. Every act he does over the past few years is about how unfair the world is to him and how people don’t acknowledge how great he is.

He’s riding out the glory of an okay sketch show that he made two seasons and then torpedoed 20 years ago.

And yet the most surprising thing about the story is that the bodycam footage was released, smh

Can’t they just sell one of those sound-weapon equipped tanks from the NYPD to cover the entire library budget?

I’m not the genius chess grandmaster that Tate is, but somehow I have managed to avoid the inside of every single Romanian prison.

Also, I’ve never trafficked even one person. Seems like a pretty beta male move on his part.

What a terrible decision. That’s like saying if you have a house key they can search your house.

Well shucks, all they did was drive out their most active content makers and cut themselves off from hundreds of thousands of dollars in free moderation labor. Who could possibly have seen this coming?
