93·6 months agoThat search/SEO is broken seems to be part of the game plan here.
It’s probably like Russia burning Moscow against Napoleon and a hell of a privilege Google enjoy with their monopoly.
I’ve seen people opt for chatGPT/AI precisely because it’s clean, simple and spam free, because it isn’t Google Search.
And as @caseynewton said … the web is now in managed decline.
For those of us who like it, it’s up to us to build what we need for ourselves. Big tech has moved on
33·8 months agoSorry, just read 14A, sec 5:
> The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
The decision seems pretty predictable to me then.
In fact it seems that this was never going anywhere and that the provisions are actually pretty weak. If an insurrectionist is popular enough to be a plausible presidential candidate, then they’re not unlikely to have significant support in congress.
31·8 months agoYea. Which touches on the issue of who determines the performance score of an employee and how transparent and inclusive it is.
Who should enforce it then? Seems like exactly the sort of thing a court wouldn’t want to touch so as not to look too political, no?
Unless there’s no way around the fact that the 14th effectively creates a “constitutional crime” within federal courts’ jurisdiction that can be pardoned by a congress super majority, which would have been my intuitive reading.
3·9 months agoIn pretty central … all of them except I think a gas station.
4·10 months agoYea for sure. I’m not enough of YouTuber to use an account and comment though.
Plus I get the feeling that the astrophysics community kinda bounced off of the fediverse. But definitely worth a try.
Ha. That’s not what’s going on here.
The suspicion here is more along the lines of whether tech people can be trusted to make good things especially when some special tech idea is at the core. What are the chances that tech people just really like the idea of decentralised federated social media and haven’t really thought through whether it works well at scale?
If they had, there’d be documented analysis of this rather than just advocacy.
It’s probably (very) naive of me, but I hadn’t quite thought that the whole thing is a grift against everyone.
Ads, data tracking, *and* tricking you into ignoring the economy/industry that actually matters in the name of “evolution” and “breaking things”.
Can’t help but see some (stretched) resonance with the #fediverse. Is this just some tech idea that needs to convince all of us that it’s the good new thing? What if at its core there’s something wrong and it fails us?
Worth watching or thinking about this recent related video (post of mine):

Great line in there from Tim about how everyone is now viewed as an Uber driver and how its hard to justify being paid more than one.
@ajsadauskas @fuck_cars hmm I was wrong. That got boosted just fine. And created a new post on fuck cars. Embarrassing.
It was because the posts were unlisted it seems. And this too … confusing.
Sorry for the noise. May delete.
Still not sure why your previous posts were t boosted or appearing on fuck_cars. Because others where also addressed?
@Zagorath @Teppichbrand
And to really get it you have to have been a vulnerable commuter (cyclist etc) in an encounter with a car where they’ve clearly just not seen you and will kill you if you’re not constantly on the look out for such things.
Despite being well informed about such things I was still shocked my “first time” as I watched a car just turn into me like I wasn’t there while the driver was looking elsewhere.
cars were already a problem. Weaponising them with tech hype is toxic.
