As they say

Reduce, reuse, recycle!

It should also be that if attendance is mandatory then a free lunch should be provided.

ai can be good as long as you don't let it think for you

Unfortunately, there's too many people already doing that, with not so clever results!

If it increases accessibility for those with additional requirements then great but we know that's not even in its top 10 reasons for being implemented

It's beyond that. It's surveillance software

It's also a consequence of late stage capitalism that nothing is new but just endlessly recycled brand new nostalgia

Every Israeli is now a legitimate target

You forgot the Bill "now the largest owner of arable land in the US" Gates

One place I worked, a senior exec has in his email signature words to the effect of....

I work odd hours so if you receive this email out of office hours, I do not expect a reply until you're next in the office

CEOs are getting too comfortable again. One needs to be pew-pewed in the streets to thin the herd and guarantee next year's harvest!

There was that study that shows the more right leaning someone is, the less empathy they have for people, animals and things outside of their immediate few circles (friends of friends kind of thing).

Democrats are essentially just republicans as well but with a bit of pink/green washing/performative action going on so.

They can be summed up as:
Repub: I don't care unless it affects me and mine then I'll bleat asking why no-one is doing anything about it.
Dems: I'll pretend to care but won't actually do anything to tackle the underlying causes but will nod caringly with a bit of a sad face

Which one of his 3 mega yachts do you think he'll pop his clogs on?

You can set up on one of the 'intro' instances then once you find an instance that suits you, you can migrate your account (really easy to do).

That way you can find accounts to follow, etc in the meantime and get into the swing of things.

Samuel Smith's is a terrible brewery for various reasons

Had to laugh when I saw this thread the other day on Reddit sysadmin about their co-worker using chatgpt for instruction on critical domain services and b0rked their entire network!

They're such a crybaby is it worth even engaging any further?

There are some that still give Israel the benefit of the doubt and showing that a humanitarian flotilla trying to deliver aid are kidnapped in international waters, strips away that.

Israel has, and will always be a piece of shit and definitely revel in it, but those who stand on the sidelines with their "two sides" arguments are now shown that they are morally complicit

• signal to noise ratio

It feels a bit like how Reddit was prior to the digg exodus when overnight pun & lyric threads, ascii art and terminally shit one word responses appeared.

There is the awareness to the benefit of building slowly will bring, rather than having a an uncontrolled mass exodus, that risks little to no integration to the current curated culture.

• Transparency

You can see who the mods are and a mod log and currently, people are giving time to grow the communities rather than welding power.

• Quality content

It's not the same stories getting posted by karma farmers or by bots. It's more curated.

• Interactions

They're more conversational than adversarial

It's not even sanctions, it's just pausing "preferential trade with Israel".

The EU want to list everything because.. trade but also because European bureaucrats love a bit of colonialism

Was reading a bit about it earlier and the data centre in West Virginia does all AWS DNS queries globally so it's a massive single point of failure, as clearly demonstrated!

It's also the default option when setting up hosting apparently
