Are you sure you saw anything? I certainly didn’t. Especially at large corporate retail stores.

Trump is allegedly already sick of Elon. Depending on whether Elon keeps being a sugar daddy or not, there might actually be a small chance.

And the vast majority of the English-language corpus available will reflect Western, imperial core liberal politics.

Oh, I’m sure that isn’t going to be a problem for their goals. They can always overrepresent training data from 2016-2020 and 2024-2028 to add some balance to the model’s political compass. /s

No no, we’re all misunderstanding what they mean by “free speech.” It’s not free as in “freedom”, but free as in air: you don’t directly pay them money to use their platform, much like you don’t yet have to directly pay our corporate overloads for the privilege of breathing oxygen.

With his lifestyle, nature will pardon him from having to pay that fine long before it gets to the point where he can’t appeal it to a higher court.

An important thing to consider: Mastodon doesn’t have an “algorithm” for presenting posts in your subscription feed.

That doesn’t mean it “does not have an algorithm” entirely, though. There’s a couple of non-trivial ones being used to recommend friends and calculate the trending posts and tags that show up on the front page, and they do actually consider likes/shares as part of scoring.

>Mom, can we get quality options?
>Mom: We have quality options at home.
>Quality options at home:

Being serious though: the problem isn’t so much that we don’t have options, as much as it’s that devs are pushed towards rapid release cycles without appropriate optimization while at the same time modern titles are too focused on graphical fidelity and gimmicks over artistic style.

It’s almost like companies don’t want to pay extra money on every device for a feature the vast majority of consumers would never use… good thing DisplayPort is free, or we’d get neither.

They could always protest on the sidewalk. My point was to say that any protest on private property would be short-lived and more akin to a public beating than an actual protest.

I think the road might be a better option than those last two. They’re private property, which gives cops an excuse to beat up protesters for trespassing and refusing to comply.

Sure, but that’s only 10. You’ll never be able to list 15. /s

Fraud or not, he certainly had local (and probably foreign) powers interfering by disseminating false information and promoting narratives that favored him while putting Biden/Harris in a bad light.

Off the top of my head, Elon changing the shitter algorithm to boost Republican opinions comes to mind.

That’s not true. Children are inquisitive and willing to learn.

yq can do both JSON and YAML :)

It’s not as useful, sadly. Nohup disconnects standard input, output, and error. With screen or tmux, you can reattach them later.

No idea, but I can tell you where they will be after President Elmo is done with them: defanged, and run by a one-man skeleton crew whose only job is to sweep the floor every Friday night.

low-information voters

I really hate that term. While technically correct, it doesn’t accurately describe the demographics of willfully ignorant voters, single-issue voters, or “only for my team” voters. It’s giving undeserved charity to people who participate in the democratic process in bad faith.

You’re just not thinking of the bigger picture:

Cybertruck: The worst possible choice for a car bomb. Prove that you’re a true American patriot and not a terrorist for as little as $100.000.

That’s easier said than done when it’s a lead actor refusing to work during filming. They’ll be breaching a contract, sure, but replacing them is going to waste money and time in recasting, rescheduling, refilming, etc.

Would they actually do it, knowing they’re in for a multimillion dollar lawsuit? Probably. The Cult of Scientology practices excommunication, and it’s a strong motivator for indoctrinees.

Not SAG, just the cultists. There’s enough of them in prominent roles that it would cause financial damage (including to themselves), delays, and problems.
