@mattly Bob: why is it like this?
Joe: job security.
Bob: maybe I can ask chatGPT how to do that stuff
Joe: that's how I got this job!

@futurebird @sidereal @alloydflanagan @hazelnot On the one hand, you're describing how representative democracy is supposed to work.
On the other hand, Biden seems pretty unequivocal about the need to raise taxes on the highest earners and corporations.
It's kinda funny to me that you're replying to someone who says that Biden "busts the rail workers' unions" when he... didn't? He got them the deal they wanted without a strike that would have hurt (literally) everyone.
@RickiTarr At first, I was like, "Why wouldn't she check. Like a simple Google search would prove it."
But that 2nd tweet gives the game away. Her skepticism comes from the fact that she doesn't believe that there *were* trans people in Nazi times. Like "trans" was created in the last decade rather than something that has been part of human society from the beginning.
@HistoPol @CindyS @steveo1049 @GottaLaff or if he loses. I can totally see Trump blaming his loss on "Deep State Republicans" and declaring that the only answer is to "start over with a brand new party."
Of course, he won't actually start anything over because that would be hard and cost money. But a re-branding in service of his continued grift?
@ericmacknight @thomasfuchs OK. I'll revise my statement. I missed it because I was looking at the quote from the report and it *doesn't* say that.
@thomasfuchs There's no allegation of torture in the linked article.
It's gonna take a while to sort out what happened with the UNRWA. But this reporting is based on an unrelease report and they're holding back the transcripts
Take this reporting with a giant grain of salt.
@carnage4life lol. Siri-GPT is going to be such a huge disaster. I can't wait!
@selzero conservatives view the Bible as more of an "a la carte" thing, these days.
@thomasfuchs He's definitely making a "this f-ing sucks. What is this sh-t?" face.
@BlackAzizAnansi I saw a clip of a Trumper being interviewed, and he was asked if he wanted Trump to be "a dictator for 4 years" and I thought... that's not how dictators work.
@thomasfuchs You forgot the most important part. It's slower, worse, AND more expensive! Cha-ching!
@polotek Sorry. Would you like me to delete my replies?
@polotek I did not intend to fight with you. I don't disagree with you.
My point was only that I don't think the source of the toxicity lirs in the QT functionality. In my personal experience, it was almost always used positively.
Twitter's QT functionality also allowed trolls and bad actors to take control of other people's content for their own purposes. That transfer of power is what enables the abuse.
That led to bad patterns like users searching for their own name.
@polotek The "affordances" are removing the context and control from the original author.
Which may well be necessary and justified. As I said, it's something missing from masto. But it's not just about the way the feature was abused on Twitter.
It's also about giving ownership to users as authors & owners of their content. QT lets me take your content and use it to drive a conversation that excludes you.
Imo that change of control is at the heart of the toxic behavior associated with QT.
@polotek Honestly, I miss the ability to quote-boost. But I think it's OK that it's not on here even if it's not perfectly convenient.
The thing I really enjoy about Mastodon is that it treats everyone as a first-tier contributor. And part of that is the way that every user is given extensive control over the use of their posts.
QT takes that control away from the author (in the case of "dunking" that's precisely the use case for the feature).
@thomasfuchs The strategy of breaking complex problems into small pieces that can be solved falls apart if you cannot acknowledge an unsolvable problem/contradiction. In that situation, the tendency is to abstract away the contradiction.
In a liberal society, many conflicting views can be (and should be tolerated). The one view that cannot be tolerated is intolerance. This is a contradiction.
Your software engineer, instead of acknowledging the contradiction, has chosen to abstract it away.
@thomasfuchs "I was going to view for Joe Biden, but then I saw liberals celebrating Kissinger's death, and now I'm a Nazi. Thanks, liberals! Thanks for making me a Nazi!"
@thomasfuchs I've hacked into the future and your haircut will be the height of popularity in 2024.
@thecorodon methinks the AI isn't so good at writing scripts.
@thomasfuchs This is the most I've ever wanted to vote twice in a poll.
Try not to judge me by my profile. #BatmanIsAFascist
