Looks like the guy who runs it runs a lot of fediverse servers, I guess he knows what he's doing: https://lemmy.world/u/ruud

It's nice to have this space to retreat to. Even if it doesn't outcompete the corporate web anytime soon, the existence of another option will constrain how bad they can get a bit, and will create a place for refugees to go after each new outrage. And it's not like the core functionality of any of the corporate sites was that complicated underneath all the bloat, after people have been on here working out the kinks for a while there's no reason it should be any less convenient of an experience.

"I thought things would get worse," Ocasio-Cortez wrote in another text cited in the book. "I thought a lot of my misery was due to leadership more broadly having a thing against me. But … my life has completely transformed. It's crazy. And it's that that made me realise it was kind of just [Pelosi] the whole time."

"Senior members talk to me, [committee] chairs are nice to me, people want to work together," the congresswoman added. "I'm shocked. I couldn't even get floor time before."

Very interesting. Like AOC, I thought that she'd be in trouble under Jeffries, who has a reputation in NYC as someone who is really confrontational with the left, whereas Pelosi is seen as at least sort of progressive. I wonder if the difference has something to do with age - Pelosi is probably more progressive for her age cohort than Jeffries is for his, but she's just so ancient.

I think there's a lot of vague support for keeping porn away from children that evaporates in the context of the actual issue at hand where porn sites are being mandated to collect and store the IDs of every visitor.

Ironically it would be so much easier to do that if they actually implemented the law they're suing over, which demands they record the ID of everyone who uses the site.

This article came out in February and seems to have been pretty dead on, down to Musk reviving the ridiculous x.com branding.

Hey that's great, good job! I'm so unused to any disappointing decision being reversed, this really is an amazing site.

The best case scenario is that Trump really was such a moron as to believe Putin wanted peace and now feels betrayed and does a 180 on Ukraine policy. Much more likely he will stay the course on screwing Ukraine.

I assumed the piracy sub would be a safe space for this sort of thing

This is why companies should be run by their workers. Even places that start out with a good culture get taken over by the business school blob whose only job is to get promoted and loot the company.

Yeah it was a pretty dumb business move by Elon to become such a loud right-wing shithead when his core demographic of customers are people who are concerned about climate change.

I think that's more the media's fault than the administration's.

Yeah exactly - the proposal here is to have a driver-owned worker cooperative run the app.

This is a public facing site, none of that data is secret.

Good job EU, screw you Apple

The key to understanding it is they're pro-war, and in Ukraine pro-war means supporting the Russian invasion.

If accountability for the powerful means the end of America as we know it I'm excited for the new America that we're about to meet.

Fantastic. Remember guys, we're all on the same side on this one. This should be a signal for the US to get its ass in gear to do the same, but it's not like China expanding its renewable energy capacity is anything but great for everyone.

Because rich Republicans also own the media.
