Yeah it was a pretty dumb business move by Elon to become such a loud right-wing shithead when his core demographic of customers are people who are concerned about climate change.
Yeah exactly - the proposal here is to have a driver-owned worker cooperative run the app.
I think that's more the media's fault than the administration's.
"I thought things would get worse," Ocasio-Cortez wrote in another text cited in the book. "I thought a lot of my misery was due to leadership more broadly having a thing against me. But … my life has completely transformed. It's crazy. And it's that that made me realise it was kind of just [Pelosi] the whole time."
"Senior members talk to me, [committee] chairs are nice to me, people want to work together," the congresswoman added. "I'm shocked. I couldn't even get floor time before."
Very interesting. Like AOC, I thought that she'd be in trouble under Jeffries, who has a reputation in NYC as someone who is really confrontational with the left, whereas Pelosi is seen as at least sort of progressive. I wonder if the difference has something to do with age - Pelosi is probably more progressive for her age cohort than Jeffries is for his, but she's just so ancient.
I assumed the piracy sub would be a safe space for this sort of thing
Glad to see federal anti-discrimination law working to prevent these conference organizers from being as sexist as they wanted to be.
Hey that's great, good job! I'm so unused to any disappointing decision being reversed, this really is an amazing site.
I think there's a lot of vague support for keeping porn away from children that evaporates in the context of the actual issue at hand where porn sites are being mandated to collect and store the IDs of every visitor.
Ironically it would be so much easier to do that if they actually implemented the law they're suing over, which demands they record the ID of everyone who uses the site.
It's nice to have this space to retreat to. Even if it doesn't outcompete the corporate web anytime soon, the existence of another option will constrain how bad they can get a bit, and will create a place for refugees to go after each new outrage. And it's not like the core functionality of any of the corporate sites was that complicated underneath all the bloat, after people have been on here working out the kinks for a while there's no reason it should be any less convenient of an experience.
Looks like the guy who runs it runs a lot of fediverse servers, I guess he knows what he's doing: https://lemmy.world/u/ruud
But of course he can only do so on his blog after having been forced out of the Times for exactly this kind of truthtelling.
