Sadly it is in one respect only: financial services.

And that’s the only reason why they’re interested; so the City (of London, not Greater London) has more freedom to invest into these AI start-ups and get their big payout when they grow large enough to move head office to the US.

Sir, this is c/mildlyinfuriating, let me whinge in peace.

Bruh Israel be treating human beings like fashion influencers do with outfits keeping the tags on.

Oh they’ve figured it out, but they aren’t uncomfortable enough just yet to take to drag the corpos out into the street. Now it’s a race between developing enough autonomous force to protect themsevles and their greed squeezing the working people harder until they rise up en-mase.

But it’s a roll of the dice and what are the odds on killing Luigi triggering civil unrest that spirals out of control?

If they think the odds are low enough they’ll do it.

The Americans should make it clear that killing Luigi will result in mass riots and the killing of more CEOs.

Captain Praxis.

Agreed. Perhaps the best implementation is a highly integrated mix of Mastodon and Lemmy where Mastodon is used for general discussion and news and Lemmy is used for organising communities around subjects like politics and religion.

I like this idea.

Twitter was supposed to be the “online town hall”. And online public spaces are not publicly owned, they’re run by private companies that can ban you at their own whims.

With each country having their own federated platforms, they can truly act as online public spaces where the usual laws apply as they would do offline.

You’d need to employ thousands of moderators though if everyone was online but honestly I think it’s worth it.

But don’t be handing out prison sentences for posting stupid shit. Online harassment and calls for violence can still be legally handled the same way they are offline, but jailing people for offensive jokes and stupid hot takes is just idiotic.

Best way is temporary bans increasing exponentially in length, then small percentage of income fines again increasing exponentially.

Also, and I’d argue we already need this, a court system for online crimes. This means the regular court system doesn’t get more workload added on to it and specialist judges and lawyers can be appointed.

Then unsubscribe and block this community. If you don’t like reading peoples commenting on a public freakout then… don’t read them?

Or is there something specific about this instance that’s triggering for you? Perhaps it’s just yet another comment you’re being instructed to leave by your boss or server.

Idk I’m just here for the freak-outs because people’s behaviour when irrational and angry is interesting to me.

Edit: also it’s not an explanation of the situation it’s your hypothesis you’re choosing to project onto this situation. Again who knows why you’re choosing to do that, only you I guess.

So hypothetical raped & killed girlfriend by Hamas = has a right to shout at a volunteers for a UN charity organisation stopping kids from dieing of starvation and disease?

Be careful you don’t break your spine bending over that far backwards to excuse his behaviour.

The Mail has less utility than toilet paper.

MATLAB: And I took that personally.

It’s ok, not every social event is going to go well and most of the time it’s nothing personal, we’re all just kind of bumbling along through the confusing and absurd reality that is life.

May I join this group hug?

When you put the wrong cat down

“Please use legal paid services” yeah I would if

1. They actually had the content I’d like to buy available for purchase
2. I actually get a copy to keep and not rent for an indefinite period of time until the rights holder and / or vendor forgets to renew and it gets automatically removed.

I think this humanoid robot will be Elon’s 'Sinclair C5" moment.

It is fair to cut her some slack given that she likely was blindsided by the lack of accessibility, not every battle is worth fighting. But any opportunity to embarrass the City Of London Corporation is fair game given the absurdity of pomp and ceremony they surround themselves with.

I can understand not wanting to make a scene but that’s exactly what she should have done. Previous UK disability activists when appearing in TV studios wheeled into the stairs and flop out of their chairs onto the floor to highlight the problem of poor accessibility.

Geopolitics is such a silly but deadly game.
