TIL! Thank you, kind sir!

Perfect timing. He’s now disappear into obscurity, possibly paying a few billion in fines as he slinks away to enjoy the rest of his hundred of billions while a woman is put in charge to try and salvage the mess

Laws are ethics that have been debated, voted upon and written down for all to reference.

A government that does not conform to its own law is weaker for it. This illegal action can now be called out as precident if the president finds it their ethical duty to drone strike another US citizen for potentially false accusations. And wether an accusation is false or not should be determined in a court of law. The ethics of that was heavily debated back before Habeus Corpus was made law in the 1700s after being debated for over 500 years.

Ethics are essentially opinion that vary from person to person and can change on a dime.

If the next president decides federated social media platforms are clearly a bunch of psychos plotting to kill everyone and it’s their ethical duty to drone strike every member and their family, I’d hope the president would obey the law and arrest everyone to be judged in court.

I’d hope they wouldn’t drone strike everyone and say, "Eh, Obama did it, why can’t I?

The point is, this is the legal take. Obama broke the law as written in the constitution.

According to Forbes It’s #11 in size.

Falls a bit behind Google in Market Cap. I suspect AI bubble pop is going to fix that. Apple’s played a much smarter game in that arena.

Jebus tho $120 billion in profit. That’s soooo much money.

Not sure what they expected there lol

I think they should host a Dropbox and Facebook alternative with zero profit motive.

An LLM makes sense too.

These are useful tools and really don’t require an insane amount of resources if you keep your user base small.

How amazing to be blessed with such a special gift!

Anything else? Nah bro. It’s as much spyware as Google chat or Whatsapp… But Matrix, XMPP, mumble, etc are not spyware (sure, if your host is the CIA maybe, but with these software you can be your own host if you want. No spying guaranteed.)

Someone at work with much more political power, and much less knowledge of how dangerous surveillance capitalism is, insists on using it 'cause they use it all the time and it’s functional.

I always considered the plus at the end of LGBTQ+ to mean “and everyone else.”. Am I wrong?

I’m a strait and have never felt out of place at an LGBTQ+ event.

I have felt out of place at a couple of the gay bars my friends have taken me to… I didn’t feel rejected or anything and still enjoyed dancing the night away… I just wasn’t in search of anyone that was there. They were strictly G bars tho, not some pansexual playground like the LGBTQ+ places where I’ve had a blast and gotten lucky at the end of the night

This sounds fantastic! My lady bit of a prude and won’t be down with dis but Gonna try making pineapple-smoked stew and see how goes

Kitty saying, “Yeah, gimmie some skin”
