I don’t use Xitter, what functionality does it have that’s not stupidly easy to implement? As far as I can tell the only thing that Xitter has is a userbase - and when they drive them away they’ll have nothing [but debt].

Rip the bandaid off! Get this shit closed down and be done with it.

But at the same time they’re encouraging the loss of jobs to bring down inflation. Everyone likes to talk about interest rate rises cooling inflation but they never mention that the cooling effect is largely a function of lost employment.

It was pointless, which is a reason to have not taken them, but they’re back now so it’s kind of a moot point. Just a “don’t do it again” situation.

Do you commemorate all the other atrocities?

You would think so, but companies generally believe that they own the right to your full potential output - not just the tasks that they set you.

Tailgating doesn’t get you there faster. Most highway accidents would be avoided if people would just leave some space, and then we wouldn’t get stuck in accident traffic jams for hours.

Somewhat counterintuitively, traffic will flow better and you’ll get places faster if you just leave some space (and you’ll be safer and use less fuel as you won’t be always on the accelerator and brakes)

My phone has been on DnD for over a year now. I have a (cheap) smart watch which vibrates on certain alerts like message, calendar, and phone and I can quickly glance and see that it’s something I don’t care about. I also ignore the calls from numbers not in my contacts if I notice them. In the time I’ve been doing this I don’t think a single person has left a message on my voicemail - validating my actions.

Humanity is a shithole. Social media is a cross-section.

I actually really liked season four in its original format - where you saw the story from one person’s perspective and then later saw it from another’s. The way the story lines intertwined was really good IMO. If you watch it now then you get the recut version where it’s all in chronological order and it’s just weak.

Depending on the jurisdiction, you never had those rights. In Australia anyone is free to take your picture in (or from) a public space. The only issue is when that photo is used to damage the subject - and that is done under defamation laws. In the US the photographer owns the rights to a photograph unless there are other contractual stipulations - even if you are the subject of the photograph.

I personally only store things that are hard to get again. Things like obscure domestic TV and really old movies. If it’s something I can get again easily then I watch and delete.

Discord is pretty similar to IRC 25 years ago: just a constant stream of conversations and you’re SOOL if you miss anything.
