I just change it to reader-mode
I used to be a Google News junkie, but I stopped using their products. Now, I have a more streamlined view via these two: https://www.newsminimalist.com/ https://www.boringreport.org/app
There are bots in the fediverse just like everywhere else.
I think the issue is that TiKtok is just as bad as all the other social media and they are owned by a foreign adversary.
Foreign adversaries (ie China, Russia and America) use social media for influence campaigns on each other and therefore their social media platforms can’t be trusted. This is why Chinese people similarly can’t use Google or Facebook
And the PRC have been caught repeatedly running influence campaigns over social media platforms: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spamouflage
I use the bluesky bridge. One of the issues is that it is opt-in instead of opt out. I feel like most of the people I find that are using the bridge are likely also part of the federated universe to begin w/.
My uneducated guess is that they need AI-related features to sell more units and this was one that seemed useful for consumers. They were mistaken, but that’s my thought process. I use Linux so I’m viewing things indifferent on this end
Are we seeing the same thing? Is the meme referencing denial in the room with us right now?
Can you reiterate what you were trying to say then? To me, these quotes sound reductive but perhaps there’s nuance I’m overlooking:
each politician acting in their personal self-interest
both of them have thoroughly demonstrated to be their only priority
This is political theater where they’re playing with the lives of the people in question.
I think it’s the opposite. The public opinion has turned on him and so everything he does is critiqued. It’s nudge on by the media but is also the cycle of celebrities du jour
I’m not sure if NYT is trying to soothe our anxieties or make us complacent.
I think the level of access to the president and unscrupulous/amoral actors in the administration is unrivaled and will lead to unprecedented outcomes.
IMO it’s like predicting in January 2020 that the US would be unscathed from Covid because we have had +100 years without an extreme pandemic.
Biden: Grants clemency indiscriminately for 1,500 people Public: Why did you let the Cash for Kids woman free Biden: Commutes death sentences selectively Public: Who made you judge, jury and executioner?
Yes, I also agree that the president that commuted many death sentences is exactly the same as the president wanting to execute all of the prisoners
Here is the full context of the bill for those interested: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Defense_Authorization_Act_for_Fiscal_Year_2025
Here is LGBT Nations’ take: https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2024/12/senate-passes-military-bill-with-provision-restricting-trans-healthcare/?
If someone has the TV volume too high, I cannot focus on anything else
This meme seems reductive. Mandatory protection would also cover a single-payer health system.
There’s a difference between protesting poor regulation of mandatory services (ie healthcare) vs a libertarian, “It’s my right to die in a car crash because I don’t want to wear a seatbelt”
With OpenAI’s latest release, it’s becoming apparent that AGI is looming and it would cause OpenAI to end its partnership w/ MSFT IIRC
I vote for GrapheneOS too for privacy reasons
It reminds me of the same whatabout-isms that downplayed TikTok as a threat becauae US companies are a threat. I chalk it up to a lack of imagination ironically
