Bill Maher is pretty damn conservative tbh

Damn removing the r34 subreddit really is the end of an era.

The bystander effect is mostly misunderstood and the way it’s depicted here is almost entirely myth.

You’re almost guaranteed to be helped by a bystander. Kitty Genovese was murdered where nobody could see after bystanders shouted at the guy from the building in his first attempt.

Hey thanks for the correction - my mistake!

It is dogshit compared to tiktok in the only functionality that matters - algorithmic matching of content to user.

Yeah ok it can stream a video cool. That’s not worth a can of beans in 2025 - can it give you content that you want to see when you want to see it?

The answer is a resounding no right now. Until it’s consistently serving up top notch pairings of content to user interest it wont stand a chance in the mainstream.

The proactive part is when they shut your account down and report it to the cops but yeah, the cooperating with interpol by providing data that they claimed they didn’t keep is damning.

They’ve been cooperating with law enforcement and handing data to the cops proactively since 2021.

Pay attention.

The writing was on the wall for proton for a while now

As of Salesforce didn’t suck enough as is

I know there is Loops, but it’s not open source or federated yet, so it’s not really an option.

I mean the arguments themselves were fairly cogent, all things considered. The prosecution got grilled pretty damn hard too.

Because the app store isn’t the only way to install an app. It is trivially easy to side load apps and it’s well within the technologic skillset of the average 12 year old.

They’ve set it up so it’s a legal mess. The platforms aren’t given any mechanism to actually perform verifications (no double blind id system, for example) but are legally on the hook for each and every under-16 on the platforms. A quote in the article suggests it should be the app stores verifying which is even more fucking stupid.

NYC has the lowest crime rate of any US major city by a lot.

Yeah I’m speaking from experience here in that about a third of my pay is in stock.

I wouldn’t say my pay is low though, for what it’s worth.

I hate OpenAI but this just seems like parents unable to process their grief.

I’ve seen how hard suicide is for parents to process and how much they blame themselves. Another option, one that doesn’t lead to the painful and repetitive soul searching, would be hard to ignore.

Tech is a bit different because a significant portion of your compensation comes as stock when you get higher up the ladder but yeah.

Corn syrup is no worse for you than any other sugar.

It’s definitely added to a ton of things but that’s because people like sweet shit. The corn syrup doesn’t hurt you - the overconsumption of any refined sugars causes diabetes.

Removing corn syrup and adding white sugar is just as bad.
