Ok, this doesn’t sound too crazy in context.

They aren’t owners, they are suing to be released from their lease contracts because they feel they suffered “direct and concrete” damage from the way Teslas are now associated with “Elon Musk’s actions”.

Whhhhhyyyyyyy???

I take it as the other MDR employees and their work being valid but foundational or middle work, while Cold Harbor was a specific capstone.

You do want to minimize your kidnappings if you want to stay under the radar. A radar that one might assume is extra aggressive since this is not a normal company by any stretch.

Let’s be frank, Lumen is a corporate cult. I mean they have a department dedicated to raising sheep for literal sacrifice in a religious ceremony to guide souls to the company founder.

That angle alone, with the mural and all, it would be so easy to argue that they saw this final step as vital but too “holy” an act to sully with redundancies. It would practically be an admission of a lack of faith.

I don’t entirely disagree but at the same time, some projects just don’t scale well. There is a clear implication too, IMO, that the interaction of Mark and Gemma in specific, is particularly key by the end of the project.

In some circumstances the company also gets a cut of rebate. I don’t know about anything that may or may not be going on in the US on this front, but in Canada Tesla’s been under scrutiny because they submitted a bunch of forms last minute claiming sales that did not look legitimate, just before the Canadian program ended.

Seems to be a kind of online conference. For being open source focused it’s opening is very salesy/buzzword salad-ish.

"Open protocols, not closed platforms. The Fediverse, Mastodon and ActivityPub. ATmosphere, Bluesky and AtProto. Human connections, not AI bots, nor fake news nor manipulative algorithms. New funding models. New forms of governance. Better trust and safety. Direct relationships to stakeholders and customers. Interoperability across social platforms everywhere, and so much more.

After a decade of stagnation, next-generation social media is breaking out of the closed silos and connecting the world into a global, open social web. It’s a wild world full of opportunity.

FediForum brings together the leading thinkers and doers who build this new Open Social Web."

Unfortunately I assume that’s now going to turn from delayed aid to no aid for a while.

The man, who was not identified, was “having a medical crisis” and had to be restrained by other passengers and flight crew, police said. He was later taken to a hospital. It is unclear if he will face any charges.

Correct, it is mobile only. Unfortunately, I think I must be misunderstanding what you’re saying about the OP stuff. This is my view, the way I think about it at least, these are all “OPs”, ones with a plus sign next to the leftward arrow have comments.

And then if I tap, I get the op with its comments underneath it.

Try Fedilab, I think it will be more intuitive for you, unless I’m misunderstanding your frustration.

20 unless I’m trying to bundle up against the cold.

I don’t understand why you would do this to our Lord and Savior Gaben. The NY Times guy would be better.

I really love this image for this, that expression combo is perfection.

Come to think of it, I’m a little surprised that Musk hasn’t pulled the feature yet.

I’m still not really sure what being verified has to do with goth gatekeeping though. I would expect a gatekeeper to gatekeep completely independent of some random meta verified tag. I mean gatekeeping is stupid, but verified seems completely irrelevant to it.

If you end up not liking WP, Drupal is another option. https://new.drupal.org/home. // https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub

Yeah, I don’t think I get it either…

But how does that equal “conservativism good”?

I just wish there was a right tool, because I don’t feel traditional search is it either after the era of SEO maximization. IMO, part of why AI search is popular is because traditional search has degraded so much.

I have a little flame of hope they waited and milked 5 for too long and now people have lost interest and moved on. Let it be a cautionary tale, there is a happy medium to be had in an IPs release cadence.
