Of course, my mistake. The American electorate is helpless before the power of their elected officials.

It all comes down to the electorate. America is getting the government it’s voting for.

Can’t see who downvoted, though. I’ve actually considered switching instances over this since that’s the most important thing to “be serious” with, it’d be nice if people were more judicious with their downvotes and having them be an obvious public thing might make people think twice about that. But the whole upvote/downvote thing in general just seems like a broken concept to me a this point and I don’t care all that much about it.

Depends on the instance, mine is an mbin instance but the upvotes and downvotes are hidden.

I remember coming across a site where you could put in a Fediverse URL and it would tell you who had upvoted and downvoted it, presumably it had an instance in the background that was tracking all that.

How nice of them to build such beautiful apartment buildings for the Gazans to live in.

The Gazans get to live in Gaza, right?

Ah, low numbers of seeds. Must’ve just not wanted to wait.

Which, as I said, seems strange. Why don’t those businesses just download the torrents?

Seems strange. Anna’s Archive makes their collection available for bulk download as torrent files, they shouldn’t need to “cut a deal” for access to that. Just download the torrent and now you’ve got the whole collection available locally.

Or someone living far away from the US.

Steadily inching their way toward death camps.

Only 12 percent reported both lower costs and higher revenue, while 56 percent saw neither benefit. Twenty-six percent saw reduced costs, but nearly as many experienced cost increases.

So 38% saw benefits from AI, whereas “nearly” 26% saw cost increases from it. One could just as easily write the headline “More companies experience increased benefits from AI than experience increased costs” based on this data but that headline wouldn’t get so many clicks.

Well, I suppose that’s something.

Yeah, I was a little baffled. I know the Fediverse is still relatively small, but still. I recommended the guy block me if he finds me so annoying. One of the nice things about the Fediverse’s setup compared to Reddit is that the user-blocking feature doesn’t play havoc with peoples’ ability to continue participating in threads.

Earlier today someone told me “I’d like for you to know that in the league of insufferable people in this app, you are in the top one percent.” So maybe I count? I don’t think I comment all that much.

In my childhood I actually watched it before it got MST3Ked and I recall rather liking it. I’m quite sure I wasn’t on cocaine at the time.

Reddit isn’t a court of law, mods don’t really have to follow any particular rules other than “be profitable for Reddit Inc.”

Youtube isn’t the way you think it should be, though.

“Why did they take that feature away? I was busy abusing it!”

If you include all of these requirements in your prompt to ChatGPT it’ll probably do a good job keeping the response succinct. A lot of people think its overly-verbose style is somehow inherent but you can simply tell it what style of email you’re going for.

Oh I’m well aware of how weak denazification was. I’m saying I doubt the US will even get that much.
