Terrifying that we’re in this state tbh. Those in power really do just get away with it …

Fair point!

I’ve been pretty much shocked by a lot of the things that have happened in the last decade or so … kind of like “nobody would ever ever have predicted that, before ….”

So a question from a non-American …. How likely is any of this to lead to actual conviction/incarceration?

What’s the feeling in the country? Is this all just likely to be brushed off?

Interesting how little mention there is of lemmy/kibn/the fediverse in these articles about Reddit’s demise.

Funny but when I see a Tesla, I now judge the owner. Never used to care one way or another but.

Man oh man … a trip down memory lane!

When the Internet was a more naive and a fr nicer place to hang out …

The U.K. really does seem to be going down the drain.

We moved back to the U.K. last year, after 5 years living abroad and it was shocking just how much worse things are than before we left, in many many ways.

Always fully open! More airflow, less stuffiness. Having said that, we don’t share a home with anyone else.

My sister in law was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, after having covid - at the age of 61 …

Fascinating video, thanks for posting.

What a measured, thoughtful, open, reflective and honest response. He’s clearly conflicted. But how nice to see someone not just throwing out the latest soundbite, or dogmatically thumping out their pre planned lines.

We could do with more public discourse like this.

The best thing about breaking up with someone is that you’ll get to fall in love again.

Obviously don’t rush that or seek it out, but it will happen at some point.

I always think that breaking up from a decently long relationship is like losing a part of yourself - take your time and make yourself whole before trying to fill that void with the “easy fix” of starting a relationship with someone else.

How do you do that? It just takes time. Do things you love doing. Spend time with people who bring joy to your life. Embrace life! Say yes to new experiences. Be brave.

And then - probably when you least expect it - you’ll meet someone who makes you realise that breaking up was the best thing that could have happened to you.

TIL Netflix does DVDs

Jesus. We’re fucked.

Even if the former Twitter engineers were working on Threads - so what?

I have had to demonstrate relevant skills and experience for every job I’ve ever applied for (beyond junior/trainee). This is just how the world works.

It’s almost like Musk doesn’t understand how enormously normal it is to use skills and experience gained in one job when you go to the next one.

And it’s not like Twitter has special IP - it’s a fairly straightforward system; the only difficulty is scale which Meta will already know all about.

Why not subscribe to them all? Content will still appear on your home feed …

There were a bunch of subreddits I was subbed to on Reddit that were effectively the same thing, even if they had different names.

Couldn’t agree more. The reason I came here was to get away from the algorithm driven inanity of big social.

And I can’t help feeling that the only reason Meta wants to federate Threads is to kill the threat of the fediverse off.

Who’s a good boy?!
