• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla suffers worst quarter since 2022 as deliveries tumble⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing keeping TSLA’s stock price so high is the perception that it’s a tech company. They’d have to replace Elon with another tech CEO that can spew bullshit about tech advances being right around the corner. That probably will not save it as a car company.

  I’d rather see the company fail before Elon and other majority share holders can cash out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FL wants more child labor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Easier to manipulate, yes.

  The US education system isn’t monolithic. There are lots of good public education systems in the US. It wouldn’t be the tech and economic powerhouse it is today (was yesterday?) if it didn’t have generally good public education. Part of the reason some people think “the system” is bad is because their particular state/county/district/school is bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FL wants more child labor⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  So they drop/fail out of school. An uneducated labor force is a cheap labor force.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨where can i find people who are looking for friends to talk about life, goals, achievements, failures, ideas, problems?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sus. Don’t trust random people on the internet.

  There’s an old internet adage from the early days: “Don’t trust you can’t punch in the face.”

  This isn’t paranoid. It’s basic safety. Talking about personal stuff to people you don’t know irl is inherently risky.

  If you’re in need of a confidant, find someone you know in real life who’s trust you can verify or a professional.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Intel report says China aims to displace U.S. as top AI power by 2030.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a measure of how much energy you can uselessly burn with other people’s money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think might be some fun, positive ways for instances to distinguish themselves?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d like to see organization focused instances. Like a local government that runs an instance and moderates it. NGOs, clubs, sport leagues, etc. could do it.

  It might become a nightmare of overlapping content, hierarchies and responsibilities, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Federated wiki software?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like single sign-on (SSO). Which is practically everywhere these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump floats sending Tesla attackers to El Salvador prisons⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This means it’s working. It’s getting to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple TV+ is losing $1B+ annually even as its subscriptions grew to ~45M in 2024; Apple has spent $5B+ per year on content since its 2019 debut.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  *citation needed

  They don’t say where they get these numbers other than “two people” cited in a paywalled article.

  Apple One has over 1 billion subscribers. I’m sure they can afford a loss leader like that.

  The only way to know if this true is if Apple says so or they just stop producing content.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there any negative consequence to wearing socks inside out?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the sock but some are designed to wick moisture away from the foot and evaporate on the outside.

  Turning them inside out is going keep the moisture close to the foot. This will cause problems—sores, smells, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, there’s no evidence that this is because of tariffs. Companies don’t make big moves like this after only a week of changes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Reddit moderation tool is flagging ‘Luigi’ as potentially violent content⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And if people just keep adding “Luigi” to every post? Flood the site with bots posting about Haunted Mansion.

  Seems so easy to fuck with if the users have the will.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a good discussion on The Ezra Klein Show from March 1 The Dark Heart of Trump’s Foreign Policy [Apple Podcasts link]

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In Vermont, an ultralocal social network is as popular as Facebook⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  First things first, it’s a moderated mailing list with some ads

  This is what neighborhoods in my area do but without the ads. Around here there are distinct neighborhoods that have their own names but no official designation. People have, since before social media, set up mailing lists moderated by one of the residents.

  There’s occasional drama but mostly it’s people asking for tradespeople recommendations, curb alerts for furniture or photos of loose pets.

  NextDoor-type services have tried to establish a presence but have mostly been ignored.

  Maybe it’s the geography or the early adoption of e-mail lists but mailing lists work great around here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russia says talks on annexed Ukrainian land 'non-negotiable'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope Ukraine has advisors from the IRA to help them navigate a foreign occupation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple withdraws cloud encryption service from UK after government order⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And they’ll do so under the pretense of “will nobody think of the children” while prominent Brits have gotten away with raping kids practically in the open. They didn’t even need encryption they had people willingly turning a blind eye.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can names of things on a video game be used for any purpose?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They can be used for playing the video game.

  And it was awesome.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Only 22 countries have never been invaded by Britain⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you saying the British never sent troops into French territory? Any incursion by armed forces into another state’s territory is the very definition of invasion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tech's Dumbest Mistake: Why Firing Programmers for AI Will Destroy Everything⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure but they’re not going to fire all of them. They’re going to fire 90% then make 10% put out the fires and patch the leaks while working twice as many hours for less pay.

  The company will gradually get worse and worse until bankrupt or sold and the c-suite bails with their golden parachutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anti-trans campaigner hit with apprehended violence order over ‘disturbing’ conduct⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  How about something more explicitly honest like The I’m So Miserably Insecure I Can’t Abide Other People Being Happy Club.

  Fucking cowards.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Magnus Carlsen: Chess champion quits FIDE tournament after being told to change jeans⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know. He’s an adult. He knew the rules. Rules are worthless if they’re applied unevenly. You can argue a dress code is dumb but the time to argue that is not right before your match starts. He agreed to the rules by signing up, he can follow the rules.

  And, I’m not rich but I’m sure I or a friend/family could have fetched a pair of pants.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Trump orange?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That looks at least 30 lbs too light.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Serving my media library to my TV (local network only), i need suggestions⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I stream from Jellyfin to an Apple TV without your issues. It might be a network or configuration problem.

  Have you tried Infuse SenPlayer or other clients?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone able to shed some light on iMessage RCS support and MVNOs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If people from Mint are saying it’s on their end why wouldn’t you believe them?

  You’re not owed the technical details. If you want to encourage/pressure them, contact Mint support. They’ve already said that it’s a priority.

  You can use RCS to message anyone on a carrier that supports it for their device from a carrier that supports it as long as you both have it enabled. There is a setting on your phone to turn it on. Consult the documentation for your carrier/device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  But, it also means we get Sam Altman as the next Elon Musk if he cashes in before the pop. And whatever other tech bros do the same. More filthy-rich men with the emotional maturity of a 12 year old.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is the price of real estate rising so dramatically?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Except the rapid real estate inflation started years before COVID. WFH may play a part but it’s hardly a major reason.
