Cost of doing business.
- Comment on Take Action: Defend the Internet Archive 1 week ago:
unless I am confusing it with another petition thing?
Yes. Obama had a petition thing directly on the Whitehouse website, and he would respond to those that got enough signatures. Trump obviously deleted it.
My general opinion of change.org is that it’s just a placebo for people to feel like they’re doing something productive when they should be calling their relevant political representatives.
However, since the IA appears to have started this petition themselves, I agree with the other commenter that…
if the IA want these signatures, perhaps they need them.
- Comment on Meta Pissed Off Everyone With Poorly Redacted Docs 1 week ago:
In times like these, it’s hard not to wonder if this wasn’t the act of someone on the inside following the Simple Sabotage Field Manual.
More people should read it (it’s short) for inspiration on what skills they already possess (or can easily learn in advance) to fight fascism when the opportunity presents itself.
- Comment on Determining the reason no one replied to your Lemmy post. 2 weeks ago:
Now what is more interesting is that comments per post varies by instance, lemmy.world for example has an engagement of 9.5 c/p and lemmy.ml has 4.8 c/p
I don’t understand what this is supposed to mean. The commenter’s account, or the community they posted to is on .world/.ml? Because those aren’t necessarily the same.

Has anyone checked if she’s an AI? That’s the kind of thing an AI would screw up.
- Comment on US stocks tumble again as reality sets back in on Wall Street 2 weeks ago:
China raised tariffs to 125% on US goods, with Beijing responding in kind.
Who’s responding to who?!?! That sentence doesn’t appear anywhere in the article, so summary was clearly written by AI.
- Comment on Why Companies Don’t Fix Bugs 2 weeks ago:
Whenever the topic comes up with leadership, I try to explain it in financial terms.
Tech debt is just like financial debt. There are times when its appropriate and necessary to take on some debt. But debt accumulates interest charges. If just keep building up more debt without ever paying it down, it’ll eventually bankrupt the company.
The engineering team doesn’t always know when the finance team is accumulating debt or paying it back, but we trust that they are doing so appropriately.
You don’t always know when the engineering team is accumulating or paying off debt, but you need to trust that when we say we need time to to pay down tech debt, we’re serious. We’ll all be out of a job if we don’t.
They don’t usually like to hear it, but when put in those terms, they don’t have an argument against it. I’m sure if we could provide a statement showing we had $478,562.78 in tech debt at 4.75%, they’d be more understanding about paying it down.

Yup, hadn’t thought of that. Sigh.

This smells a bit like an orphan crushing machine. Is this just a private company offloading moderation duties onto already overworked public school teachers?
- Comment on "Tesla protesters are planning their “biggest day of action” yet, aiming for 500 demonstrations at Tesla showrooms across the world on March 29th..." 5 weeks ago:
Just the same, smashing cars probably won’t endear the generally-docile public to the cause. I would say most people (i.e. the support force necessary for widespread change) don’t want to be associated with violence.
Which is why we should considering the real possibility that these are false flag attacks. Want to turn the general populace against peaceful protesters? Engineer false flag attacks that make the protesters appear violent.

There have also been an uptick in incidents of arson, vandalism, and violence against Tesla showrooms that, while unrelated to the protests, have led to Musk and President Donald Trump labeling them “domestic terrorism."
It’s perfectly reasonable to think that at least some of these could be false flag opperations orchestrated by the Trump administration to give them cover to arrest innocent people and eventually declare martial law. The more that possibility is part of the mainstream conversation, the more wind it takes out of their sails towards accomplishing those goals.

There are lots of Tesla protests going on every weekend. See actionnetwork.org/event_campaigns/teslatakedown to find one near you.
Also see www.mobilize.us/indivisible/ for even more (not necessarily Tesla specific) protests going on all over the place.
