• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*?⁩ ⁨⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Congress hasn’t passed much of anything lately. They just let Trump do his executive orders. But even if they felt like doing anything at all, the GOP has control and can count on a few Dems to follow along.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strange sell-off in the dollar raises the specter of investors losing trust in the US under Trump⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So, they’re joining the rest of us? About time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla (TSLA) has to replace computer in ~4 million cars or compensate their owners⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He knows the words.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Straight people, do you know what the Grindr notification sound is?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does anyone have the sound on these days? My volume is set to 0 most of the time, I have no idea what any of the sounds are now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We'll pass Trump tariffs back as higher prices for Americans: German firm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s exactly how tariffs work. It’s always been how tariffs work. No company is going to lower profits if they don’t have to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta ends its fact-checking program in the US later today, replaces it with Community Notes⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no way this can cause the Earth to be catapulted into the Sun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My theory is the people making the decisions don’t actually use the products they make and have no idea what it’s like to use them. They hear that another site is using AI, for instance, and decide their own site needs to use AI. But they don’t understand what AI does or why they should/shouldn’t use it, only that they have to have it. Boom, enshittification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The pannotype mystery: cracking the code of a forgotten photographic process.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The looks like an interesting process. It would cool to see someone create new ones but it won’t be simple given the requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sen. Schumer: 'My Job is to Keep the Left Pro-Israel'⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  His job is to represent the people of NY in the Senate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky made more money selling T-shirts mocking Mark Zuckerberg in one day than it has in two years of selling custom domains⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Every little bit helps.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Another treasure stolen from us⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s a sad looking pizza roll. Geno is crying right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta will roll out its AI chatbot with text-only features in the EU this week on WhatsApp, Facebook, Instagram, and Messenger, nearly a year after pausing.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody in the entire world wants this but Zuck. Nobody.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good morning. What's wrong honey? Part III⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  God bless us, everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Germans no longer see US as trustworthy partner⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The majority of those responsible for that are dead and it shows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Battery tech really does move fast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  At first, I was concerned about that much energy in such a small package.

  Now I’m afraid of that giant hand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kevin Rose, Alexis Ohanian acquire Digg⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s no reason to expect this to succeed, but I put my name on the list to be notified when it launches. We’ll see, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Test-driving them both now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft begins turning off uBlock Origin and other Manifest V2-based extensions in Edge⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I had a feeling this would happen. I have to use Google services for a lot of things at work and Edge works fine with them. Firefox usually does okay, but not always. And now Firefox is requiring you to hand over your data to them.

  Can any Chromium-based browser refuse to turn on V3 or is it too baked-in without forking the entire project?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨fish roast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not like the bony-eared assfish is going to clap back, not with the smallest brain-to-body weight ratio of all known vertebrates.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone else getting a bit of schadenfreude from the news each day?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s difficult to avoid feeling that way. Part of me feels bad about it because I know the other side would be laughing their asses off if we were the ones feeling betrayed. But now is not the time to gloat, there’s too much we have to do to fight this as best we can.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple withdraws cloud encryption service from UK after government order⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Governmental advocates for mandatory backdoors have no clue that they effectively make encryption moot. UK users will only be silghtly less secure with no encryption vs. backdoored encryption.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rate my breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sad, but understandable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The New York Times will let reporters use AI tools while its lawyers litigate AI tools.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, the reporting in the NYT already feels like it’s written by AI, AI that was trained on bland, non-confrontational writing. In any case, this is tantamount to training your replacement. How long will they keep human reporters on the payroll once AI is doing the work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X blocks links to Signal, the encrypted messaging service⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Free Speech Absolutist 🤣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The First Generation!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It can’t be any worse than lead, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s been obvious for a while that spez is trying to be a Musk/Zuck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Enshittification intensifies.

  spez is slow walking Reddit to the graveyard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google officially changes the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America on Maps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Collaborators.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The more you know!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the end, it’s always bees isn’t it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Has Trump Gone Soft on China and Hard on Canada?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s unable to think about anyone other than himself.
