I don’t think people buying consoles are doing that kind of long term thinking

Bad idea. Fertile ground for abuse, intentional or otherwise. As others have said, it’s hubris to think one or two untrained adults can do professional grade teaching.

All tools are not equally safe nor should they all be publicly available.

A chainsaw is a tool that you might cause harm with if you use it in stupid ways. We don’t give chainsaws out to children. We don’t use chainsaws for cutting dinner.

There are human elements to the problem but that’s not a big reveal.

Cool. Safe bike lanes are a higher priority for me but I’m not mad about this.

Hm maybe I’ll try that. Looks like there’s an android version

Firefox. It’s fine. The ai stuff is concerning , but nothing’s caused me enough pain to switch yet

Seems fair. Was a pretty big fuck up. Might deter others from making similar fuck ups.

That was always a bad idea and feeds my mild Cassandra complex.

No government should be relying on private platforms like that.

The suits at Microsoft are out of their fucking minds.

Yes. They are stupid and don’t deserve their huge paychecks.

They could’ve done basically nothing. Maybe security updates. And they would’ve had a decent brand that kept bringing in money. Their leadership is worse than doing nothing. A dog would make a better ceo.

The NYPD is very poor (arguably net negative) value for the money spent

The “and” in the title is key. Humans can currently choose their gender expression, so that part can be stripped out with no changes to the world. Not assigning gender at birth is an interesting thought. Some people are really, from my view, weird about making sure their children perform gender correctly as early and often as possible.

Also I think it’d be neat if it was “genre” in English too. People understand there’s more genres than horror and fantasy.

I like the idea. I don’t want to use facebook or similar, but that’s where stuff like “BuyNothing” is most active.

Unfortunately, I don’t know much about self hosting (beyond what I’ve picked up working in software development) so I don’t see myself running one of these myself. I’d probably use it if it came to my neck of the woods (NYC)

Sort of a naive take but it seems like you could mandate objective measurements on clothing like we have ingredient lists on food.

I walk a lot where I live and it’s pretty great. I’m a little insufferably smug about it- “wow I walked 3 miles today. If I lived in the suburbs I probably would have walked 30 feet between car and parking”

Not so brilliant for the people killed before the culture shifts, if it does at all.

They really think we’re stupid. Unfortunately, they may be mostly right.

Every conservative accusation is a confession.

Public servants shouldn’t be allowed to own stock, except maybe through some sort of arm’s length diversified portfolio managed by a third party. Like, you can put money in Vanguard’s index funds, but you can’t pick individual stocks. Maybe. I would also accept that you just aren’t allowed to own stock. Put your money in government bonds or something.

Doesn’t seem to work on Android firefox

One could write a paper about how profit motive and art are at odds, and as the portion of agents seeking profit goes up the quality of the art goes down. Probably many people have written quite a bit about that.

I think it’s also worse when the people keeping the profits are removed from making the art. Someone who sets out to make a game and make some money on it will probably make better art than a pack of accountants and shareholders calling the shots.
