Cuckerberg is no better

Really? Musk is busy right now purging minorities from government agencies. What exactly did Zuck did that makes it "no better" than that?

I'm sorry, but nothing can beat this: https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/1161/text?s=1&r=3

The heck is "instant opt-out"? As opposed to what? Not being able to close the ad unless you buy the product?

Doesn't MS Access still use SQL?

All government data is processed using sed.

I don't know whether or not this is sarcasm, and frankly - it doesn't matter. Science provides the facts - it does not provide values. You need to combine facts with values in order to come up with an ethical verdict.

If the resulting verdict is not what you wanted, you can always rethink your values. This is essentially what philosophers have done for millennia. It does mean you'll need to defend your new values, of course, but you don't have to stick with old values when it turns out they have bad implications.

What you don't get to do, is decide to ignore or twist the facts. The facts don't change just because they're inconvenient. If you lie in order to get the ethical verdict you desire, then you are tautologically in the wrong.

Why are you appropriating programmer culture?

It costs... 35 what? What kind of currency is :-? I don't speak IKEA.

If it's on fire and the autolocks, you know the doors are strong enough to not budge when you try to kick them open.

He won't die before releasing Half Life 3, which means he's immortal.

Lemmyers

The official term is Lemmings.

I feel like I didn’t really recognize having different “platforms” like Mastodon, PixelFed, etc would give multiple opportunities for the fediverse to make a “first” impression with people.

Corporations have learned long ago the importance of properly identifying your audience, and the Fediverse is not exempt from that rule. Lemmy is the Fediverse version of Reddit and Mastodon is the Fediverse version of Twitter, and just like these two giants could live together with each other and also with Instagram without stepping on each other's toes, so do their Fediverse versions can live with the Fediverse version of Instagram, PixelFed.

Now we're just missing a Fediverse version of Facebook.

Would you accept a Smalltalk image as Open Source?

I envy your faith in the general public's long term memory.

As valid and informative as TwitteX' blue mark.

Stage 3 of the Signaling Cycle already?

Why would you get any grief for a profile picture with a proper business suit?

My code is portable enough to support all versions.

No. You need to run it in a VM that runs TempleOS.
