  • I think it's just a joke about trying to get hashtags working on a Mastodon post?

  • can't recreate it

    This is the main downside IMO

  • "Can you share the recipe?"

    "Nope!"

    "Seriously?"

    "Seriously, I don't remember."

  • Except it is often more costly to do this in the long run, so it's a fiscally stupid move that corporations seem to make over and over again.

    I think part of what perpetuates it is, the people making the decisions don't stay there long term, so they never really face the repercussions.

    Some more stable places seem like they may have realized this though and keep things all or mostly in house.

  • They'll get jobs as contractors fixing shitty AI code

  • They've been doing the same thing in IT for decades, just replace AI with outsourcing.

  • There is plenty to criticize the US about, and I say that as an American. We sure as shit are very, very far from perfect. The same is true for every country to varying degrees.

    That said, yeah, I'm still suspicious of it and you should be too. People are always being manipulated to act against their own self interest and it would be wise to stop and consider the message and where it's coming from.

  • Any religion from Adobe has to be evil.

  • I'll be damned, you're right: It's hosted in the Netherlands! My mistake, I totally thought it was in the United States.

    Still not clear on how or why they would have any law at all regarding the discussion of a legal term from the American legal system though, especially in the context of a criminal case in the US courts.

  • Wait, I got a better one: The BRAwler!

    Never mind, I think the first one was better actually.

  • No, it's hosted in the United States where is is a perfectly valid, legal term and you are absolutely allowed to talk about it.

    The reason given was that they were afraid of being sued, but that reason does not stand up to scrutiny for a variety of reasons including the above (plus, nobody would have the standing to sue and even if they did they still could not successfully sue the host).

    I don't know if their admin has an agenda or they're just being excessively cautious, but there is no valid legal reason whatsoever to censor talk of legal terminology (even one that is controversial).

  • I deleted mine many years ago, 10/10 would recommend!
