Legal Eagle has a good list going with sources over here:

It’s a 40 minute long video, so not something you can just send to someone with that attitude and say, “Watch it!” and expect them to actually watch it. But it would be a great way to get a list started with some sources. Judging by a list of timestamps in the comments, there are ~100 individual items from this video.

Poe’s Law strikes again:

Adding a /s would help convey that intent a little more. And if you’re going for the “Got ya!” satire effect, you could always hide it in a spoiler.

Just to add a little context to this. The Brave CEO donated $1k to California’s Proposition 8 almost 20 years ago (in 2008). 6 years later he formally apologized for it and stepped down as the CEO of Mozilla.

I mean, votes are public in the fediverse. I wouldn’t try to read into the reasoning from a single downvoter too much though.

One downvote could be accidental. 2 downvotes in the same thread makes that seem less likely.

Downvoting/Upvoting doesn’t mean the same thing that it does for everyone. Some use it as an agree/disagree. Some use it for whether a comment is productive and adds to the conversation or not. Some use it as a visibility score whether they think a comment should be seen by others first or whether there are other comments that are better. Some may agree with most everything in a comment except for one part and then downvote because of that.

Ana Valens recently resigned from Vice following an article about the censorship of games. On social media, she shared communication between Mastercard and Riot Games.

Looks like Vice can’t be trusted as a reliable source of information if they’re willing to fire journalists after a little outside pressure is put on them.

All they really need to do is make self-driving cars safer than your average human driver.

If I read somewhere correctly, they’re also the first to open source their swipe dataset:

An NPU isn’t required for something like recall, it just makes running local models more efficient.

Life pro tip: bend the prongs a little to give your device more grip if you encounter outlets like this.

Or you bought his car before you saw him for what he is. Tesla’s have been around for almost 2 decades now.

I actually saw the opposite last week. It was a Tesla but on the back was a sticker that looked like this:

This is why you don’t take on odd jobs from people contacting you remotely.

If your only job is to forward packages/letters/money sent to your home address (or to pick up packages from nearby addresses) and you get a cut of the money, you’re probably a mule for money laundering.

If your only job is helping others from another country (they will like about where they’re actually from) get through interview/hiring processes, you’re probably working with countries like this.

If they want to use your name for a job application, you don’t have to do any work, and they will send you most of the paycheck, you’re probably working with countries like this.

For those wondering where he finally draws the line with Trump, it’s Trump’s statements about deporting citizens to El Salvador.

It’s not something unique to capitalism. In communism you can easily have tons of monopolies as well.

Regulation is definitely a good thing. Competition among companies is a good thing.

Relevant xkcd:

I cropped out the screenshot here:

Thanks for pointing this out.
I’m definitely labelling this account as a “Likely chatGPT Bot” after glancing through that history.

This reminded me of that video when the covid lockdown caused the air to be so much cleaner that a mountain range could be seen from ~200km away:

This has got to be my biggest pet peeve among most news organizations. Most links on their articles just go back to an older page on their own website instead of pointing at the actual source.
