- Comment on London police defy ban on badges linked to far right and white supremacy 1 year ago:
My point was only that the phrase is used widely in the United States.
- Comment on London police defy ban on badges linked to far right and white supremacy 1 year ago:
In July, the force’s chief, Mark Rowley, banned officers from wearing the “thin blue line” badge saying that in the US an equivalent symbol had been used by “hard-right groups”.
The hard-right group known as “law enforcement”.
- Comment on EU opens investigation into X over alleged disinformation - The European Union announced today it is opening an investigation into X for allegedly spreading illegal content and disinformation, incl... 1 year ago:
EU officials confirmed to TechCrunch that an investigation has not been taken at this point. Clearly, though, yesterday’s development (and the pace at which regulators are moving) is a strong indication of the bloc’s direction of travel.
This report was substantially revised to clarify a number of aspects, including — most saliently — that the EU has sent a formal request for information to X at this point. This could prefigure a formal announcement of an investigation but is not, yet, that formal technical step. We also clarified the scale of financial penalties possible under the DSA if a breach is confirmed; and added details of the regulation’s crisis response mechanism. We also fixed an error in the original report which referred to Interpol, rather than Europol.

But we all know that intent to “save the children” isn’t good enough,
I think that is frequently overlooked when it is convenient to do so.

I don’t have an alt. I guess I’m turning into an old person and can’t operate the app on my phone proficiently.

“Dumb” is something I am not. I don’t think you think I’m mysterious. What I think is that you are wrong.

I didn’t say that.

I just said that:
A whole host of things are state-afilliated. That shouldn’t be conflated with ran by the state, or operated by the state, or controlled by the state, which is probably the concern.

- Comment on The Israel-Hamas War Is Drowning X in Disinformation 1 year ago:
I didn’t mean that there isn’t any good information on social media. I have spent a bunch of time watching video lectures that MITOpenCourseWare has posted on youtube.
Using social media sites as a news aggregator is like looking at the news through a filter. I think that is bad because you don’t know how the filter works and you don’t control the filter.
- Comment on The rent is too damn algorithmic — DC Attorney General Brian Schwalb is investigating RealPage, a company that helps landlords set rent prices, for potential antitrust violations 1 year ago:
They were interviewing that General on 60 Minutes the other day and asked him what amounted to “Did you commit treason when you made the phone call to China?”
I don’t think the General acted improperly, but, other than Trump, would you expect anyone to give any answer other than “No, of course not” when asked on national television?
- Comment on Mastodon actually has 407K+ more monthly users than it thought 1 year ago:
I never really liked Twitter, just followed some NASA accounts that told what certain probes/landers/rovers were doing.
Same. I really like the functionality of tumblr, but I think I’m outside of their target demographic.

Generally, too little of something is bad for one reason and too much of something is bad for another reason.

RealPage, however, has repeatedly denied any allegations of price fixing or antitrust violations in previous statements and legal filings.
No shit.

The post was inspired by reading a highly optimized FizzBuzz program, which pushes output to a pipe at a rate of ~35GiB/s on my laptop.

This is exactly the kind of thing I like.
