The stronger the wording, the harder it is for Trump lackeys to dodge, without contempt charges.

And look, we know Trump and his buddies are pedos and rapists. But it is not what you know, lawyers say, it is what you can prove.

Finally, the goal is justice, and that’s difficult to obtain, but extended public focus on the issue helps get closer. Let Trump try to stonewall. It consistently sucks away his political power.

Hakeem is worthless. Nobody cares what he thinks.

Trump’s pardons are an interesting thing. The more he pardons people now, the less leverage he has in the future, and he needs to hold onto that power for as long as he can. Cuz basically, he’s about to get fucked. The Epstein Files will be coming back into focus, and everyone who already was pardoned now has to testify under oath about everything when Congress calls them in for questioning. And if Trump doesn’t have allies (i.e., people who owe him shit), then he’ll be toasty in short order.

Also, it’s hard to pardon someone effectively if you can’t figure out what crimes they committed. Who was actually employed by DOGE? What authority did they actually have? The DoJ lawyers refuse to explain that, because it would expose them to liability. So, because the legal landscape is ambiguous (from the DoJ’s perspective and intent), the pardons themselves are likely to miss large swaths of criminal activity.

If Sam believes that, will he replace himself with AI and retire already? Pretty please? … It’s so easy to catch the ultra-rich in their lies; they simply can’t be bothered to speak believably.

It’s a great experiment. You mean it may not scale up, which is a different thing entirely.

Everyone knows why. If people can’t afford food and houses, it doesn’t matter what happens in ten years. You know this, I know this, it’s basic reasoning. So don’t waste our time trying to undercut voting efforts.

Sigh.

I’m not following. Are you saying that Democrats could be easily confused with Nazis in large numbers? That’s a weird thing to say… After all, she just got thrown out of the state party. She lost in the primary to someone who’s definitely not a Nazi.

So it sounds like you’re floundering, trying to stereotype the party and failing to do so.

Of course the corporate Democrats are worthless, as are the centrists. Lots of bad shit going on in the party. But not so many Nazis, my friend. You got the wrong party.

Remember, this is not real news. She’s a loser. She lost. She means nothing, and her opinion means nothing. And that’s OK, no worries, it happens in politics… But the pundits want to make it an issue so voters forget about the issues that matter (health care, education, clean water, ending wars, etc.).

What does “enshittification” mean? How is it caused?

Basically, it can happen when one company (or a few companies) dominates a market, so they can gradually make shit worse for everyone, trying to make just a bit more money.

Federation is the solution. As long as there are many servers, run by different owners and administrators, any single server can only fuck itself over.

That is why the open source community likes protocols, interoperability, APIs, and federation. No single software package, or server, should control the entire market. Single-point failure means brittle architecture, whether through accident or intent.

We could say this about all kinds of property. What is he, socialist? … What a pointless non-story.

Is it common? How would we know? By investigating.

Come on, quit thinking abstractly and use reality as a test. Trump has been looking for those fake voters for a decade. A decade! He didn’t find any… Why is that? Not because of your master plan, my friend. But because voter fraud is just not happening on a measurable scale… Or, to put it differently, are you smarter than state election officials and the DoJ? And even if one of you is, scale that up. How many people are as magical as you?

It’ll improve the personalization of ads that are shown to bots, but all the people have left.

This is almost correct. In reality, rich people inside Google got richer. That was their sole goal. That is all they wanted.

Because look, we all told everyone that the AI bubble was in fact a bubble, and that Google was destroying its own search engine, which of course would hurt them later. On the one hand, you could argue they didn’t believe us. But I think they didn’t hedge their bets because they didn’t care either way.

Fuck the company’s future if you can get rich now, am I right? Never underestimate human greed.

Correction: Reddit will force bots to log in. Everyone else already left.

And this is why you don’t turn to Bluesky. If they’ll censor this, they’ll censor anything.

Lol this is why you don’t seriously invest in crypto, folks.

Nobody cares about Reddit these days. The bots took it over years ago. Like so many things, there was a time when it mattered.

Lol these guys are such bad liars. Because look, if his AI could do that, he would purchase catastrophic insurance for his own company. Right?

Compared to what? That’s the entire point, isn’t it?

I think that woman doesn’t know who everybody is. It’s awkward when people don’t think about the words they’re saying.
