   @justinf @dbsalk Reread the post you replied to.

   It's literally just as bad. Yes, even as bad as Musk is. (Ok, it takes several bad things to equal him, but the point is, it's actually that bad.)

   No, this is different and is a major issue for Foss project within the EU. Been hearing about it a lot from the Linux podcast I listen to.

   It basically makes it so Tech companies are liable for anything that happens on their platforms or any security breaches attributed to their software. And for Meta or even projects providing key libraries and programs for Linux this could be bad.

   If you can not face the reality of what that same suffering and death would mean if it was inflicted upon the people you love and care about, again, you are among the reality challenged.

   Your dream of safety in an unjust and war ridden nationalism is bound in a denial of the brutality that it all rests upon.

   Turning from reality for the falsehood of an ideal does not excuse the brutality you have turned a blind eye to.

   It never does.

   I've got a friend who is perfectly well-intentioned and a good person, and who I really respect.

   She will literally never speak to me about anything, or come around to anywhere I'm chatting, unless it's to share some devastating bad news, or to self-promote.

   I'm loud and chatty so there's tons of ways to bother with me, regardless of the topic. She won't.

   So, what I know is this: she only speaks to me when she's decided there's a strategic reason to.

   It sucks so much to be used as a prop.

   Daily Inspiration: "Assumptions are often just a dangerous, delusional certainty! (Because they will blind you to the reality of your reality!)" - Futurist Jim Carroll

   Often, the thing that holds people back from their ability to get to tomorrow is their insane ability to hold to their beliefs, even in the face of absolutely fascinating compelling evidence to the contrary. One might often find that these are due to the assumptions that people cling to.

   It's most often been the case with technology and the inevitable disruption that comes along with it. IBM chairman Thomas Watson famously predicted in 1943 that "there is a world market for maybe five computers." n 1995, Robert Metcalfe, the inventor of Ethernet, predicted the collapse of the Internet by 1996, which obviously did not happen. In 1977, Ken Olsen, the founder of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), stated with certainty, "There is no reason anyone would want a computer in their home."

   Forecasting the future — particularly with technology — is a difficult thing to do. Many people have said that while it’s easy to predict the future, it’s another thing altogether to be right! Consider, for example, one fellow who in 1868 tried to alert residents of London, England, that they would soon face a very serious problem. Why? In his studies, he had looked at the city's population growth rate and then factored in the bathroom habits of the horses used for travel. His conclusion? In the not-too-distant future, most streets in the city would be six feet deep in manure!

   Oops. He failed to see the arrival of a technology - automobiles - that would render irrelevant the potential problem. His assumption was at the core of his failed prediction.

   The result of all this is that people often assume that tomorrow will be very much like today.

   #USpol #legal #TFG

   100% agreed.
   I have not seen this as a discussion, but a dialogue. 😉

   A lot of people read these convos. Possibly sentencing a #US #president to capital punishment will cost more than 90%(?) of the population a long time getting used to.

   It's important to repeatetly bring up this possibility that the laws permit.

   Just looking at #SetAbramson's PROOF OF...series, I, personally, can only see a mistrial or supermajority #SCOTUS...
