@TomDB @petergleick @chris in the eyes of his stans this looks like a righteous act of rebellion and pretection of whatever definition of "free speech" they use to justify the rampant hate speech

@yacc143 @TomDB @petergleick @chris I don't know what jurisdiction musk pretends to be in.
The case for brazil is clear. Real lawyers thought about it and the results are in.

I know freedom of speech from my country (germany)
Hate was never tolerated
Sedition was never tolerated
Disproven falsehoods were never tolerated.

I can't claim toothpaste heals cancer (lie) or the jews cause cancer (hate) or say so to incite rebel (sedition).

Every "Freedom" needs a limit to self-preserve

@djsumdog @jesopo i don't get it.
But perhaps because I wasn't there
but not important

@djsumdog @jesopo "being healthy is an illness in itself" makes no sense

@jesopo yeah I've heard that before

one group beliefs in invisible magic.
the other says they will only believe in such things when evidence warrants such belief.

One of these groups require less on unproven axioms

@jesopo lot's of people say atheism is a religion

they're wrong
don't assume I have a damage you assume others to share

@JessiCum @pluralistic @futurebird @ethanjstark in the years in which I used the internet so far I developed skills in how to use the internet, which broad categories of websites or search strategies are to be avoided, where to click, what to block in uMatrix, how to leverage third party websites to gain useful information where search engines fail etc.

It would be better if this skill were to be unnecessary. It creates a barrier for everyone including new users (e. g. my parents or kids)

@JessiCum @pluralistic @futurebird @ethanjstark further I want to note that most of this is no accident. Destroying the usability of public resources or making useful sites harder to find is a purpose in and of itself for many groups.

Most notably I want to name the "flood the zone with shit" approach which is also a threat to reason and democracy itself. When everything is subjective and everyone is a bot hey maybe I'm not so sure anymore the earth not being flat or corona is serious etc

@Alonealastalovedalongthe good point

add Podcasts to that list too.

@publicvoit overall DisplayPort is still faster and has the more durable cables than HDMI, right?
Because long time ago I chose to only use DisplayPort within my home since back then it was more capable and the cables did not break all the time.

Können wir bitte das Wort "Fahrspaß" aus unserem Transportalltag verbannen?
Meine Autowerkstatt verspricht "Fahrspaß ohne Kompromisse".
Bin ich auf der Rennbahn oder was?
Nein ich bin in einer Großstadt mit Kindern, Fußgängern, Radfahrern und mehr.
Ein tonnenschweres schnelles Gerät in menschennähe zu betreiben ist bierernst. Nimm deinen "Fahrspaß" und mach das auf deinem Privatgelände oder miete eine Rennbahn.

Laughing at #VisionPro users doesn't really make sense in my eyes.

Talking to "nobody" was "weird" when mobile phones were invented.
Even more so when hands-free earpieces became a thing.

Now people are looking at things only they can see. It's not so much different.

I'm pretty indifferent towards Apple and the Vision Pro. Personally I think it will have the same hype and death as Google Glass. But what do I know. Surely Apple has reason to believe otherwise

@xanderio well they are different in size and scope…
Sometimes I need a hammer and sometimes I need a diesel rammer.

Remember that MariaDB is the successor of MySQL. It's written by the same person. MySQL is dead.

And don't forget if you need a much smaller hammer there's always SQLite.

@feld perfect, I fit right in!

@feld @EeveeEuphoria @hazelnot i'm not on your continent but to me it sometimes seems there are two states: California and Jesusland.

I don't want to sound harsh but to an friend who immigrated from the US to my german city I always tell that it was quite beneficial for europe to drop all the religious nutcases, scammers and whackos to the colonies and then forgetting about them fur hundrets or years.
We don't have as many religions / cults / systematic scams as the US does. Not even close.

@EeveeEuphoria this is a horrible situation. Horrible.

But the last paragraph really got me since I'm a EU citizen I had this moment of
*acdc yeah scream*
*mlg sunglasses fading into my profile pic*

Not sure how to describe that emotion. Perhaps smug feeling of superiority? The colonies burning in AI armageddon and all the useful/helpful things being imported later.
Of course not everything is swell over here.
But at least SOME laws resemble serenity/fairness.

@hazelnot @EeveeEuphoria the GDPR has always been a good first step. A step in the right direction but overall only a small step.

There always have been multiple weaknesses with the GDPR or DSGVO how it's called in my country.
From the top of my head: Ideally you only collect and process data when you need it for something / have an important reason. Not sure? Just say "ads" or "maybe ads in the future" and it's legal! This makes the need-to-know clause completely irrelevant

@hazelnot @EeveeEuphoria Ireland has always been a weak spot in regards to GDPR.
They are willing to be incompetent / overworked on purpose. Big tech moved to ireland. Nice taxes for ireland and lenient enforcement for big tech.

Many countries use the 4 % fine clause to milk companies like Google or Facebook. Lining their pockets by regularely getting millions from tech companies. Not even interested in them ever fixing the underlying Problem.
