Yup. The effect for me has been that I simply go out much less often.

My take on it is that the Republicans will do their best to drag this out until the election. No compromising or middle ground. Just make it out to be the crazy Democrats fault. This stuff gets to be very predictable after all these years.

Just wait till the first security vulnerability are discovered in the code that now will be able to run on iOS and which Apple can’t control directly. Nobody will remember that the cause was forcing Apple to open up their system. They will just blame Apple.

They lost me as soon as I saw the headline. Not worth reading any further.

The American way!!

I have never been able to wrap my head around voting for somebody that supposedly supports policies you agree with while being clearly a bad person/leader to the core.

I wondered the same thing. These agencies want to be seen as hip and with the times. It’s leadership is always thinking about their next gig in the private sector they claim to regulate.

Criticizing Musk is what all the cool kids are doing. Everyone that likes to follow the latest fad seems to want a piece of the action.

I don’t think that most people that inherit that level of wealth end up very happy. Everyone has problems. The more $$ you have the more you focus on the stupid meaningless stuff.

In don’t know or care about their intentions. If we want to claim we are an open protocol then mastodon needs to role with the puches. Otherwise you might as well be on threads.

Then let them vote. The US will ultimately get the political leadership they deserve.

And why should I care what this clown says?

Yeah, let’s defederate from a major player that wants to participate in the decentralized nature of this protocol. That way we further fragment Mastodon and guarantee its failure in the long run! Good call!!!

I honestly don’t understand who votes for this guy because they believes that he represents them. 

 This country has always had the best politicians money can buy.

I’ll bet this is not as cut and dry as the headline makes it sound.

And this is illegal and newsworthy why?

I totally agree. He is hiding something and the rest of his party is too stupid to pick up on the signals.

I have the same gut feeling. People that behave so righteous usually are hiding something.

What you’re missing, I think, is that, provided the opportunity, his, belief system would tell him that monitoring our porn intake would also be a good idea. Maybe mandatory software on all our phones to help us all become better Christians.
