Well let’s find out: Free Ukraine! Fuck Russia. Fuck China!

It's not that you're charging for API access; it's that you're charging US pharmaceutical industry pricing levels ($12,000 for something that should realistically be $200) and then only giving devs such a short time to implement changes. This was designed to kill 3PApps outright and everyone can see it. What an ass.

Yeah, the “active” sort also seems broken. I change to top with a day time period or hot. Works much better.

Tax all billionaires more?

If you cut taxes on the rich it will benefit everyone.

It’s apparently good at 100% at classifying autism in groups that have already been flagged for high chance of ASD. It is not good at just any old picture.

That’s gonna be a lawsuit…

District 9.

Yea it will. Just not at a minute clinic. You need to go to an actual urgent care or primary care doctor.

Former Texan here: slavery is why that exists. They ceded the land so they could enter the union as a slave state.

Lawyer here: this isn’t necessarily correct and in America it’s state dependent. There are absolutely parts of the law you can waive, including negligence of a party which is likely your bungee jumping scenario with the rope snapping.

Thanks for posting this! I love XKCD but never saw this one.

It is unfortunately such a PITA to self host. Spent hours a few weeks ago trying to set it up and failed.

Yeah, what the heck is up with that bug? I keep getting random sports posts when I click links.

Lawyer here; it's almost certainly unconstitutional but it's a political tactic used to garner votes from ultra-conservatives. It doesn't have to win in court, it just has to make a splashy headline now, which his base will see, and then the base won't see the court losses months later.

That’s part of the problem; but, increasing tax rates (income, capital gains, depreciation recapture, 1031 exchanges etc) is needed even more than enforcement of existing. You’d be surprised how much of what the rich do to reduce their tax burden is perfectly legal and IRS enforcement would just be an annoyance.

I’m hoping the /s was for the whole post. Lol. Person-first language is problematic in many more ways than also being poor grammatically. Person with X indicates that the person has a medical affliction like Covid. Autism isn’t an affliction; it’s a more-common-than-you-think phenotype of humans that’s been in existence for centuries if not longer. Like red hair or blue eyes. I’m not sick; I’m just different. I’m a correct zebra not a sick horse.

Well, I don't think it will STB, but YouTube needs a FOSS equivalent that has the same capabilities sans ads. But, that's $$$$ infrastructure so I don't know if that will ever come.

BUT, I really hope that by the time Discord pisses off its users, that matrix or another federated equivalent will have figured out the UI/UX to capture a large chunk of those users. I used to live in IRC, but discord finally killed it. And I hate using proprietary software for so much chat.

What was their reason for defederating? I tried to read their post and it didn’t make sense to me.
