He is a general menace to many groups.

I’ll put it this way. Harris’s Gaza strategy is so bad it’s the same as Trump’s

They both would let the genocide continue while providing the explosives to do it with.

I know America faces an existential crisis but no lives would be saved here in this one area

There is a difference between the old fashioned scams with textbooks, and the new AI scams. Its true they have a lot of things in common. But the AI scams are more centralized, more powerful, can make more money. These are forging new ways to con people.

But we have gone through several generations of new scams, they are not all bad. Such greed and kickbacks are probably healthier than realized and contribute to a stable society somehow in a way that escapes me, but I feel is valid

I think he is suggesting he himself will come under legal scrutiny, threatening him: ergo mars, humanity and everything else.

It’s all about him

Are they not separating bot logins from human logins ? I did not see a breakdown for that. I’m wondering if anyone knows

Omg I just realized AI is the new monkeys… that is disturbing

I tried to moderate in a large subreddit and all I did was protect people who I did not like, or who got into slap fights. Quit after a few months.

They are a mindless organization, not one or a few using logic. Everyone working there can figure out the general issues, on their own, for sure. But it’s an out of control huge organization. Even the top leadership is along for the ride at this point.

Every department is headed by competent and intelligent people, I assume. But they each only control a small slice of the environment, and even in each division there are many things the middle management cannot control directly. Too big

It’s not like a car manufacturer, there is an exponential difference in the number of parts to control and the complexity.

When the sales, and other parts are woven in, I doubt there is a dozen people alive who can explain how all the company structure works together

Samurai cat. Subtitles. Not so violent. It’s about a cat and a man, not necessarily in that order, in Feudal Japan.

I’m sure Reddit is gaming the investors

I would like to believe actual laws are being broken, and one day certain people will go to jail. I am vindictive about that whole series of events. I liked Reddit before piggy and pals destroyed it

I spent ten years on Reddit. I can use that to compare for myself the amount of engagement then and now.

If most of the users are not bots I would be so surprised. I think they lost a huge percentage of traffic and are now knowingly faking live user counts

Less than 10, after that I get the occasional reference but deep in the list

I think the value of Wordpress is its ecosystem of tens of thousand of plugins. They cannot rewrite it without breaking many of them

The other value of Wordpress is its low entry barrier for writing plugins. One does not need to code well to write a plugin, and often plugins are abandoned-ware, or close. Many of these badly written abandoned plugins are vital to thousands of sites, or more.

Broke plugins stay broken .

By definition wp must never change too much, ever

If anything, Chinese browsers might be safer for some American to use; if the data was not resold

I’ve intuited, maybe correctly, the service has become changed over the years and is not what it once was. Stuff like this makes me think that maybe my armchair analysis is correct

No, regular intelligence is all I needed. I made over a dozen plugins ( private not sold ) . I no longer have to maintain most.

One can pick up patterns, and the hooks get intuitive.

It’s not a bad framework, for the 1990s. It lacks many things, and God help anyone who wants to put a lot of data in it, or have multiple instances. It can be done , but omg.

And don’t get me started on the bad and lazy work seen in many of the popular plugins .

This is what a lot of the world depends on for day to day existence

You did not mention where, and I’m not a lawyer, but I’ve never heard of a copywrite or trademark holder react to just the name on an open software release .

Can’t hurt to get permission

Edit: Cannot use, too many automated take down notices whenever release mentioned on certain media. Even with permission, it will be a pain

If my own project is anything to go by, or the little I know of all my thousands of sisters and bothers who are also coding making and doing their own small projects .

I think wondrous new ways of interacting online, sharing and verifying things, is always around the corner. I can’t even image the next three years.

What we think about news propagation today will seem quaint to all of us later

I have blocked every news and political centered community i see here; it helps with the stress and my mental health a lot. Particularly since I have particular views that compels me to ruffle feathers, get nasty comments and be ignored on every political community across the whole spectrum.

It’s easier to just don’t try to post until tempers cool down, if ever. If I don’t see news then I don’t have to reply and share, and probably lowers the stress a notch

2 tea, one mostly empty. 1 coffee (old), 2 waters

Totally normal
