It’s almost as if their sales are plummeting and they’re desperate or something.

Best way to solve that is to waste more money on lawsuits

Oracle strategy.

Sounds like yet another story about the Goliaths of the AI world ruining the Davids. They even “respected” him by posting his details to the world, in a possibly illegal way.

If it helps you feel better, I voted for free speech and feel that the administration did not hold up their end of the deal. The FTC’s recent “debanking” letter to the payment processors is just theater until something changes. I’ll leave it at that.

Ok but why? They did not campaign on freedom of speech or expression, they actively campaigned against both...

IMO there are no surprises from this admin, they are doing what they promised.


Who is “they”? I voted on party lines, state, federal, and local. The way that people on the left shut down discussions more readily is what contributed to it, using tactics such as bringing particular candidates into the discussion despite me never volunteering that I was pro-Trump per se in this thread.

It’s probably going to be awhile before I’m sympathetic to the “other” side though (it’s still two sides of the same turd after all), seems some things haven’t changed yet.


You found that after the first administration, in the end, he had earned your vote for Free Speech?

Some people weren't paying much attention to "politics" until Dumpty started going full crazy. Still unclear exactly when that started.

I don't really think he's even gotten that much crazier than his admittedly high 2016 baseline. He has gotten a lot better at execution of said craziness, especially after realizing consequences would be slow and few.

> the administration did not hold up their end of the deal

Trump? Not holding up his end of the deal? Who could have seen that coming!


Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m unironically looking forward to the other shoe dropping next term, so that we can finally get a generation of politicians that can bring on the great reset. Too much legacy software running on the kernel and it can no longer be maintained.

The Art of the Deal!

You voted against free speech. The sooner you can admit to that the better.

Trump has been very clearly against free speech well before 2015. He's been anti-American and anti-constituion well before he came down that escalator.

It doesn't make me feel better that you're still pretending otherwise.


Please give examples to your accusations if you want to be taken seriously.

If only there were signs.

Twitter files

You want to elaborate?

Do you?

Sure. He ran on being an anti-immigrant authoritarian in his FIRST campaign. Those were the signs. Now, tell me what you meant by "Twitter Files".

Getting “literally who” vibes from the list of execs that were listed with a job title but not a company name.

Mobile browser, if that makes a difference (maybe one of the people on the list helped me downsize as well at some point without me realizing it).


thats a bug. thanks for flagging. The company name is there but gets cut off on mobile. Will fix the layout.

Since this is Google we’re talking about, I’m fully expecting them to penalize benign uses of the back button override.

Did you confirm that the network effects are applicable here before posting that?

Nope. As mentioned "What is jj and why should I care?" didn't cover it and I timeboxed jj advocacy to the page that says it will get me to care.

The last time I used Claude, I was completely locked out of a long chat (including not being able to view it) for sending something innocent that was written in another language, where there was apparently some confusion with the translation. I’m sure it will get worse over time until Chinese models start to proliferate more and challenge the monopoly on regulatory policy.


I always thought that mainstream media sites with paywalls were pretty far down there in the tier list of websites though. Not sure if this analogy lands unless irony was the goal.


I trust websites not to involve me in crime. I trust news websites to tell me the news. I trust archive websites to give me old versions of websites. I trust paywall circumvention websites to circumvent paywalls.

What I do not see is the irony you insinuate in your post. It is not immoral to charge people for content, nor does that make you less credible. (It might even make you more credible since you now earn money by having happy customers instead of serving more ads.)

Some news sources are not trustworthy but that's independent of there being a paywall.


> Building a software system is a lot like building a skyscraper: The product everyone sees is the top, but the part that keeps it from falling over is the foundation buried in the dirt and the scaffolding hidden from sight.

They should have just called it an ivory tower, as that's what they're building whenever they're not busy destroying democracy with OS Backdoor lobbyism or Cambridge Analytica shenanigans.

Edit: If every thread about any of Elon Musk's companies can contain at least 10 comments talking about Elon's purported crimes against humanity, threads about Zuckerberg's companies can contain at least 1 comment. Without reminders like this, stories like last week's might as well remain non-consequential.


With the reputation of that company, one can wonder a lot of backstories that are even more depressing than a memory shortage.
