I use a TV for my monitor - last job I worked I really needed the screen real estate for excel.
I hate hate hate when I shut the computer off or power goes off and when the TV comes back on, it auto-plays some “free” streaming channel, which is ALWAYS fascist propaganda. I rush to turn that shit off just as quickly as I can. Fuck that shit.


why would any country want people who are inherently more prone to crime in the first place?
Have you not heard of people trying to escape war or death threats? Countries love to gain highly educated immigrants, but many countries also open their doors in cases of need. And more typically, those tend to be poorer folks. That said, at least for the US, undocumented immigrants tend to commit less crime, although poverty is also a big factor in predicting crime. But it’s complicated and rather more nuanced than simple little pat phrases.


False. Get someone red yelling at someone blue. All the friction you could ask for. ;-)


Set one to “stun” and one to “kill”. :)


Yeah, and what’s worse is that there’s not really any good alternatives anyone has seemed to find yet. heh


The fascists always attack free speech, and our first amendment rights have been under attack from many directions.


Anne Frankly, you should have


That’s not the first nor even the second, but I think it’s the third reich thing they’ve done recently!
;-)


Liar. I already read the article before opening the comments. YOU SAVED ME NOTHING.

That’s just typecasting.


I disagree. This has been a thing for 20+ years. Facebook started out the same way. So did reddit. That’s one reason the founders of reddit created mulitple accounts to post from at first - to make the network look larger than it was.
I’ve joined several networks over the years that didn’t pan out. The one I remember from a few years ago was Imzy. Good platform, just didn’t take off.


That’s… the wrong way to look at it.
Systems are often resiliant in the light of individual variation. Discarding voting entirely because of the actions of a few is like seeing the outliers in people clicking where they think a country is on a map. Sure, you’ll see a lot of dumb guesses that are radically incorrect, but the majority of clicks tend to be on the country.
In the same way, the voting tends to generally work, for a given understanding that voting was always theoretically (from reddit days) supposed to be upvoting good contributions and downvoting spam./trolls/etc, but voting is also or even more about what people agree with. So as long as you realize that’s what’s actually happening, voting is generally accurate enough.
Of course it’s infuriating when people agree with things that are wrong, but that is a wholly different issue.


The problem is building the network. Nobody uses it because nobody uses it and nobody will use it until everybody uses it.
That has always been and will always be the primary problem. You can solve all of the other problems and it won’t matter.


The alternative is Facebook with lies that go unchecked completely. This is actually an area where AI is not bad.
edit: sigh. Refusing to acknowledge where things can be useful. NO, ALL BAD. BAD BAD BAD! AI BAD! ALWAYS BAD! NO USE! NO GOOD! ONLY BAD! BAD BAD BAD! Such fucking blindness.


you could have also said “F U UK” and I think it would have worked :)


Misread the title as “being left handed”, came into the comments to make a “Well, that’s just sinister!” joke and was highly confused by the comments - and the article - until I noticed my mistake. lol
