@feld that fucking guy has to be the stupidest President we've ever had.

Including himself last time, he's gotten worse

We'll be lucky to *have* a country in 4 years if the Republicans don't sober up quick

@clacke like I said, I'm not seeing any additional risk here.

We've already got corporate organisms that are massively dangerous and regularly make decisions that kill people

Adding synthetic actors to this doesn't actually make things materially worse in my view, Roko's Basilisk is sitting in the US Oval Office

@clacke the East India Company was made of people.

Computers can only be as dangerous as the people running them, and there's no additional threat from advanced AI

@feld Phteven!

@patrickcmiller OMG, I literally laughed about this.

Of course they are, and of course they are going to lie about it and we'll all find out the details 20 years from now

@feld @feoh I kind of miss doing embedded development where you had to hand-spin everything

Sadly, that model does not scale to front-end development

@feld it sounds like another sort of whiny lyrics from what I usually encounter

Which is a shame, because from a sound/technical perspective it could have been a really good cover

@feld fun fact: Firefox has settings to turn off any information sharing

@feld @sun@shitposter.world or they could even have records of previous SSN number assignees still in the DB, with a different (non-SSN) number as a record key

I would not trust Musk's posse to know or care about such subtleties

@feld almost certainly

@feld right, and OPEC Used to be able to swing oil prices really hard, with nasty results in the 1970's, which eventually led to various agreements with them *as well as* the interest in efficient cars in the US at the time.

The *potential* is still there, but OPEC hasn't been too disciplined lately

The market's going to do what the market's going to do, and a lot of the "Green New Deal" was aimed at making it a soft landing for ordinary Americans

And the Republicans as a party just hate anything that might make life easier for you

@feld encouraging alternate fuels within the US would be sufficient for that, Saudi Arabia is only the second largest oil producer in the world.

@feld nah, That Fucking Guy just doesn't know how to run a country.

Proof that not all experience is created equal

@feld Luigi should get off because he didn't do it.

We're getting the hard sell in the media that he's the guy, and that should be making *everyone* suspicious, but for some reason it isn't

@roadriverrail there's certainly issues intrinsic to the federated model at play, but you are right that there are also UI improvements needed.

I only use the web interface for my primary instance (even on mobile), so I am definitely not an expert on what works best

And I don't use lists at all, I just take my feed as it comes

@roadriverrail I don't think there's a "should" about this one, not really.

It's not like we all need to set ourselves a quota.

I just think we should be aware that when we take an action like following a link to a story, that's a little bit of pressure.

One click is nothing, it won't even show.

Thousands, or tens of thousands, of clicks starts to become a sign that web admins can take notice of.

A thing that people can do to get media companies to take Mastodon more seriously: click the links.

@deFractal @deivudesu @markhurst @pluralistic honestly, when FB did the force feed and removed the ability to set chronological feed was when I removed their JS permission.

@kevinmirsky @Infoseepage @SecurityWriter yeah, having Norwegian heritage is another thing they make it rough to celebrate.

Why couldn't they have decided the Greeks were cool or something?

@feld I've got a case of dancers and a copy of The SongThat Never Ends between a pair of infinity mirrors
