Yup. It still boggles my mind that none of that was enough to make Republicans think twice about voting for him.
Now that he’s impacting them financially? Oh noes! I might not vote Republican again! 🙀
But of course, it’s way too late now and we’ll be lucky if we even have another election at this point.
None of this is false is the thing. He’s literally a criminal. He literally gave out a massive stock tip before reversing direction on tariffs again…
Yeah this seems like a weird use case for Mastodon to me too. Also, the entire point of Mastodon is that no one entity can control it all. Switching to BlueSky is basically just falling straight back into the trap where someone can buy it out and repurpose it as a disinformation machine again. I’m not saying ActivityPub is perfect, mind you. Just that it sucks less (for me) than the alternative.
Oh, so they’re upset now? What about, you know, when Trump stole a shit-ton of top secret documents that he very probably attempted to sell and at the very least definitely stored improperly and used a lot of lying and juggling to keep hold of? After he attempted to overthrow the government on Jan 6th. If they had moved faster, we wouldn’t even be having this whine-fest, because he wouldn’t have gotten re-elected from prison.
Service as a subscription, for me. It used to be you bought a product and then you owned it. Now if you want practically anything from streaming media to freaking car washes, you have to “subscribe”.
Just log onto mastodon.social and be done with it. That’s the one that will still be running until the they turn out the lights on the service, I figure. And then go kick in a buck or two a month on Patreon to help defray development and server costs. (Not being the product is worth a donation by itself, I figure.)
Hahaha, you’re welcome!
Weird, very weird. Not demure, not mindful.
How are you using the internet without uBlock Origin? o_O
(I also recommend Google Sign-in Popup Blocker on Firefox. And as others have mentioned, Reader mode is nice.)
Or… trying to tell women what to do with their bodies is weird, like the rest of the Christofascist Project 2025 platform JD is running on.
Some meme stuff, hexbear and lemmygrad basically.
These are a bit unique from the lists everyone else has, I think:
These are the more standard ones that everyone seems to run:
I would absolutely send him an email to the effect of
“Per our multiple verbal conversations, this is just to serve as notice that, in my professional opinion, your refusal to allow me to upgrade a system at risk of multiple security vulnerabilities on a platform that is no longer supported is a risk that you are choosing to accept against my advise.”
with a list of known major vulnerabilities attached if possible.
That way at least if this comes back to bite the company on the ass, he can’t say “Well he never told me this was a problem!”
Yeah, it’s a pretty frustrating time to be leaning left. And given the chaos Trump would unleash, it’s not like there is any choice at all about whether or not to vote for Biden… 😿
Yes, and I voted for Bernie when he ran and I would absolutely vote for AOC if/when she does run. Just… the choices in this election cycle are wanna-be, half-demented dictator-for-life vs a “moderate” Democrat who, while he’s gotten a surprising amount done, isn’t exactly renowned for pushing the corporations hard on climate change.
Why the hell can’t we have candidates this awesome on the ballot here in the US?! 😿
Let’s do it slightly differently, let’s make the mandatory retirement age for political office the median life expectancy age for the entire country. If the politicians, etc can manage to make everyone live longer, they can hold office longer.
Similarly, take away their separate and different medical coverage and put them on the same Medicare system everyone else in the country has to use.
Ouch. They should either change the font or just ban 44 globally.
Good point, yes. I really should have started with that…
