The fact that the hackers have added revoking the API changes to their list of demands... 😂

Sounds like the tree was due to be felled. This artist arguably saved the tree by turning into art. While he did oil it to keep it from rotting, he oiled it using a plant based oil safe for proximity to water ways. This sounds like as close to a win as anyone's gonna get in these circumstances

I got one of these. I dont understand why theyre going after us now. I thought their issue was all the money they were making off of "promoting piracy".

Yea I'm with this guy. Fuck the trolls. Fuck everyone. Show them by proving that you don't need to fit in their system to thrive.

I'm very conflicted about this. I'd reckon that the majority of us working on these AI and robotics systems do so to try to make the world a better place; so that maybe one day people won't have to slave away in warehouses all day and pee in bottles because they can't take the time to use the bathroom.

I really just don't know

Not to sound like a naïve, brain dead optimist but maybe this is our chance to draw our line in the sand. If Threads falls on its face, it will likely serve as precedence for other companies who think they can use the fediverse for their own gain, no?

As Louis Rossmann says, "never go to war with the internet because you will lose". I'd like to think that the people who make that quote possible are all migrating or have migrated to the fediverse.

Holy shit the fact that this document has more than 40 footnotes is mind numbing

The bear cause he died of starvation, duuuh

Hauling trash, debris, or brush works way better in a pickup. I want to be able to hose the shit off and not have it inside with me lol But i agree that a van is better than everything else

I wonder if the guy who lived as a goat for a few days has goat dreams...

Maybe you should pee on it for good measure?

I find it very amusing that you compared them to an entire clown and not some fractional amount of clown

Police officer in florida discharged his entire magazine into thin air after an acorn fell on the roof of his vehicle

I appreciate the actual explanation. I was genuinely asking, although I thought the commenter's reply was much funnier.

What a world we live in.

Random thought; a twitter nazi decoder ring could be a really funny novelty item
