Yep, sounds like Elon and the Saudi's have achieved their goal of crippling Twitter's utility as a means of organizing large scale protests and uprisings like the Arab Spring or the BLM protests in 2020. Now all that's left are propaganda bots and various flavours of right wing extremists.

Powell will also be required to testify at future trials

Release the kracken snitch!

Yet another reason to use @firefox https://arstechnica.com/security/2023/10/google-hosted-malvertising-leads-to-fake-keepass-site-that-looks-genuine/

35% of the county would totally hire her.

lol @ thinking the average MAGA chud can afford to hire a lawyer. Also, you forgot the R in country.

As part of the deal, she will serve six years of probation, will be fined $6,000 and will have to write an apology letter to Georgia and its residents. She also recorded a statement for prosecutors and agreed to testify truthfully against her co-defendants at future trials.

Hahahahahaha ReLeAsE tHe KrAcKeN Sidney! ReLeAsE tHe KrAcKeN!

I don't think so. He says he isn't afraid of AI replacing creative jobs because it's incapable of originality and as a result, boring. The episode you're referencing didn't depict the opposite. There was a quantum computer that was only capable of producing a show that recreated data from the protagonist's life in real time. It was always limited by actual events as they played out. That episode seems fairly consistent with his views.

That seems like a wholly inadequate sentence when you contrast it with the case of the woman in Texas who got 5 years for casting a provisional ballot in 2016 when she didn't know she wasn't eligible to vote. Wikipedia article outlining the details of her case and appeals..

Five years for not knowing you couldn't vote and casting a provisional ballot vs seven months for launching a nationwide internet campaign to disenfranchise people through deception? What a sad state of affairs.

He said that he consumed conspiratorial content like Alex Jones’ Infowars where he found “conspiracies that Middle Eastern wars were a conspiracy to try to bring Muslim immigration into Europe.” This then led him to white nationalist content.

I'm not surprised he said that. Alex Jones is a stepping stone toward radicalization but I consider it a distinction without a difference. Alex Jones has been a white nationalist his entire career despite his shallow denials and subterfuge. The 'Knowledge Fight' podcast has done an excellent job of documenting the fact that Alex Jones has never been a "harmless crank" by examining and debunking his own contemporary claims and those going back to the earliest days of his career. The only difference between Alex Jones and blatant white nationalist content is his conscious use of dog whistles. But even those have mostly been abandoned now that he's seemingly drunk every time he records a show.

“Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.”

LOL. Fuck twitter. If anyone reading this hasn't jumped ship yet, now's as good a time as any. Mastodon's mobile website makes for a great PWA, alternatively, Ice Cubes for iOS is a solid free third party mobile app. Now let's talk desktop. The normal site is pretty good. But if you're looking for something a little more robust mastodeck.com is a third party front end that's great for power users and multitasking.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. Alexandrite is what the reddit redesign should have been. It's just a shame that the company didn't give one single shit about actually making a user friendly desktop experience.

21 species removed from endangered list

That's good!

due to extinction

That's bad.

But it comes with a free frogurt.

That's good!

But the frogurt has also gone extinct.

That's bad.

gets $800k compensation in August

Ok so this whole story is fucked up beyond belief but I just want to take a minute to say holy shit, because that dollar figure is pretty messed up in and of itself. They gave him $817k. That's $5.82/hr.

He's trailer trash that just happens to have money.

That'd certainly explains his gaudy taste in.... Everything.

When folks claimed, in 2015, that no one hated trump before he ran for president

Of all the absurd claims that Trump supporters regularly make that's one of the most absurd. Donald Trump hates New York because the NYC elites didn't accept him as one of their own. The dude was a social pariah that had to resort to crashing parties because he'd never actually get an invite. Even the average New Yorker on the street has known since the '80s that he's nothing but a silver-spooned fame seeking circus clown.
