we don’t actually know what Harris would have done to be intellectually honest, we just have what she said.

the problem is that people learned nothing. The pandemic gave trump a get out of jail free card, I guess, even though he fucked it up

Free and fair elections have never been anything but an ideal in this country. It started with voters were wealthy landowning men, often who owned slaves.

What we’re seeing is years of undermined reforms by the momentarily wealthy after the previous empires in europe tore themselves apart.

unless you’re talking about tow truck drivers it will take a while for maintenance problems to catch up with the strike. This is, in my mind, why billionaires hate trains the most.

they had it coming

I’ve ran through 3 win 10 HDD computers and they all had sorts of performance issues with HDD. I don’t think it was tested beyond bootup for HDD.

8 had a real small install footprint if I recall. It worked on a lot of really shitty hardware that 10 didn’t. 8 is definitely not as popular as 10

American billionaires want self driving cars specifically because they can’t strike.

its going to be a shit 32 years.

I just picked the photo he’s banned the most people for. And I’m not sure if thats fat or HGH bubble gut.

People get more upset about a bad friend than a real enemy.

mostly, but I think people are of the opinion of doing them responsibly and maybe not doing 2 week ketamine benders on twitter.

This is Russia, no joke.

I think they should just force him to disclose his shitty algorithm

Edit: Third party, local moderators for social media should also be a standard requirement. No outsourcing of moderation.

I can’t find the source but if I recall bluesky relies on running feeds through central servers and it has patents on its methods so I would say bsky federation has some asterisks. They have done a great job insulating users from the structural elements which reduces confusion.

The proof is that mastodon user base is steadily going up. There hasn’t been a giant spike in a while but the barrier to monetization is too high for it to shed users from that. Its more like how wikipedia has outlived google as a resource despite wikipedia not being particularly better now than soon after it started.

I would argue siloing is easier on bluesky - block list manager drama can definitely have a similar effect to user admin drama. The thing mastodon does poorly is discovery. The fed and local feeds are nonsense on Masto. Imo it should be replaced with local admin/user curated topical feeds and top cross server topical feeds.

Mastodon requires far more effort to create a new feed than bluesky, and that’s the major problem.

The consumer lockin then monetization lockdown cycle always sheds users. I think eventually most federated systems will gain users, albeit slowly.

bluesky has made better choices - the starter packs and user lists are great for new users. They managed to add quote tweets but let the quoted person opt out of dog piles. It looks like they added options for custom algorithms too.

Bluesky will be enshittified but mastodon should be taking notes if they want to pick up people next wave.

The bluesky system is just way better. The local/fed feeds on masto are just wasted.

trump only picked up 500,000 more votes than last time. Lets hear from the 10,000,000 that voted in 2020 but not this election
