Where have you been?
To the city hall meeting but couldn't get in
Pussy Cat Pussy Cat
Why was that?
It was all about cats and their habitats
But they only admitted dogs and rats
That's total bullshit. The entire reason this business model happened is that user-created content, including the garbage, is the cause of 100% of Google's income from the platform. Anyone who draws eyes to the platform deserves a cut and always has.
It's almost like "fighting radicalization" can only take place in a paradigm of censorship-by-default that only allows massive rights-holders to distribute content.
The last thing we need is corporate networks making all our decisions that are incapable of realizing it's possible to have goals different from the capitalists who own them.
You know all that municipal broadband that's not happening because of the telecoms' dumbass lobbying? That's not exactly being considered in places with billion dollar budgets.
Somebody explained this well, so I won't, but I keep coming back to this question and it really confuses me. Social anxiety is the thing that is real (i.e., it's in the DSM) and well-known, to the point that there have been commercials about meds for it for years. By contrast, "math anxiety" is pretty much entirely a bunch of moron "educators" squabbling about why kids hate and do poorly at math class, which is a thing almost designed from the ground up to teach kids to hate math. Just... What planet did this question come from?
The described situation is social anxiety. Any connection to math is purely incidental.
Actual math anxiety stems wholly from the fact that any sane person would be anxious if you told them you were going to force them to practice various riffs on elementary algebra for twelve years and call it "math."
That'd be great if it was what I trusted any of the involved parties to do. It's not what they're going to do. They're going to try to have bullshit regulations about "fact checking" and try to make platforms and the people who use them liable for some kind of damage or guilty of some kind of crime.
That is exactly the right being discussed. It's a fundamentally important right, because almost every statement we now consider correct was popularly considered batshit at some point, and vice versa. The world has certain immutable, objective truths, but it's ridiculous to think humans could ever know them with certainty.
The Internet Red Scare was too partisan, and not enough people bought it. Now anti-vax is going to be used as the pretext for massive, automated censorship. Never trust anyone that says they're going to fight misinformation.
By getting software that makes my keyboard try to type Mandarin, picking a simple passphrase, and typing that in, I can get a password that looks like random garbage in both English and Mandarin, and I don't need to store shit in a password manager unless I REALLY want multiple passphrases.
1) Taxpayers fund an organization whose only apparent purpose is to enable billionaires to moderately inconvenience one another.
2) I should be happy they're doing this very important work.
3) A braggart on Twitter is who I should really be upset about.
Even if what Musk is doing is somehow unethical, it's bullshit. The SEC goes ripshit on him for puffing himself up on Twitter, but never says boo about normal everyday fuckery that is far worse. This is the agency that gives a dumb smile and a thumbs-up through every fraud-driven speculation bubble, every stock manipulation, and every business destruction by buyout and offloading of debt, all of which the news just makes up dumb garbage to explain. (For example, your gas prices pretty much never go up because of an actual supply problem, and Sears didn't implode because of Amazon.) The institutional gangsters of high finance are pulling this shit 24/7, and they're never at risk of more than a wrist slap because the next job they're most likely to have is a position at the SEC. They go after Musk because he had the audacity to make companies that disrupted some of their favorite scam factories. Fuck them.

Comcast to Flush $50 Million Down a Toilet to Avoid Spending it on Infrastructure
This trash gonna fail hard bc their target market won't have access to real internet without a civil war
you could not possibly be more obvious about the fact that you're selling this shit

Jesus, are you my landlord? You don't even read the shit you're replying to, you just figure out which team it's for and go apeshit.

This means I'll be able to get a version that doesn't beg me to rate it on the windows store
I frequently accuse them of being fascists. Nobody wants to hear the truth if it would mean they have to risk their lives to fix the problem.
I forgot that Slashdot cuts off long titles on mobile. :/
That was supposed to read "...people who think Facebook needs to fix it are evil."
"We need to use our freedoms to limit our freedoms." You're a fascist.

If personal responsibility can be measured in dollars, the poor are justified in committing armed robbery.

So, let me get this straight.
1) Taxpayers fund an organization whose only apparent purpose is to enable billionaires to moderately inconvenience one another.
2) I should be happy they're doing this very important work.
3) A braggart on Twitter is who I should really be upset about.

Trump was not an act of defiance. He was the switch from soap opera to pro wrestling. He's 100% as fake as the rest of Washington.
