Studies show that two out of every three Trump voters are just as stupid as the third one.

What's he whining about? He's not going to be impeached.

Blueprint for Armageddon, King of Kings, and Destroyer of Worlds are absolutely fantastic episodes.

This is exactly how YouTube's DMCA takedown system works, and how media companies have been abusing it since it's inception. Someone claims copyright on your video, and Google immediately takes it down. You then can contest the claim and Youtube will put it back up. But the claimant can contest your contest, and Google will then tell you that you can't have it up and have to settle in court with the claimant. Oh, and you get a strike to boot.

The whole process is automated, because there's so much content now it's impractical for every single takedown request to be addressed by a human. And because there is no punishment for bad-faith takedown requests, there is no incentive for the claimants to ensure their IP is really being infringed.

Again, I never said they weren't causing harm. You're conflating the concepts of aid and beneficence.

Trump and his ilk being in power is not beneficial to the country, but their sheer stupidity in attempting to achieve their goals aids their opposition in stopping them.

I didn't say they were harmless. I said their incompetence only helps their opposition.

The Nazis were more competent and still lost. How would being less competent than that help them in any way?

And why is that a problem? It sounds like a hindrance to them, which is a definite good thing.

Fascist-enabling media billionaires get sidelined because their fascist leaders have no loyalty? Who could have seen that one coming?

An important figure in nationalist politics in Germany during the first three decades of the twentieth century, Alfred Hugenberg became the country's leading media proprietor during the 1920s. As leader of the German National People's Party, he played a part in helping Adolf Hitler become chancellor of Germany and served in his first cabinet in 1933, hoping to control Hitler and use him as his tool. The plan failed, and by the end of 1933 Hugenberg had been pushed to the sidelines.

Oh. Right.

Yep. Poilievre, Brexit, Meloni, AFD, just off the top of my head.

That was for his second term.

His first opponent was former governor Matt Bevin, who is a whole other piece of MAGA trash.

Edit: one interesting thing about their mobile app is when you use the GPS for directions, it changes where the audio comes from depending on what your next direction is. If your next is "turn left" then the instructions come from your left-side car audio.

Also, assuming the Ops are closer than the max length of the cable, you can fly it in circles or backtracks to make tracing it that much harder.

They want it to be okay to say the N-word in public again. They've absolutely still been saying it; they just don't want to be ostracized for doing so.

Actually, it's the billionaires and temporarily-embarrasses billionaires, against the rest of us.

Okay, but how do you really feel?

He didn't meet Vance though.

Gotta hurt poor Vance that one of the Pope's last acts on earth was to reject him. 😂

Oh, well if the Axel-Springer-owned POLITICO is upset about this, it must be a good thing.

Lol I don't disagree, but I'm lazy and on Boost it's easier to just quote-reply the whole comment instead of editing it down.

Have a splendid day yourself!

I didn’t sound like a centralized system from the article. More like they want a third party like Verisign or something.

It's going to be both. Bluesky will verify users, but they're also going to have other authorized verification entities.

From what I've seen, there will be two distinct types of blue check- users verified by Bluesky will have one mark, and users verified by a trusted authority will have a different mark.

Now who will those third-party verifiers be, and how will they be selected, hasn't been announced yet.

Right now, venture capital investments - same as all tech starts out.

How it'll monetize to become self-sufficient remains to be seen.
