The “precise and specific actions” called for in that article, specifically for the purpose of combating speech that encourages violence, like homophobia or white supremacy:

• Reveal who is paying for advertisements, how much they are paying and who is being targeted.

• Commit to meaningful transparency of platform algorithms so we know how and what content is being amplified, to whom, and the associated impact.

• Turn on by default the tools to amplify factual voices over disinformation.

• Work with independent researchers to facilitate in-depth studies of the platforms’ impact on people and our societies, and what we can do to improve things.

What’s your problem here?

Are you talking about the ex-CEO who got BTFO for being homophobic? Because that was based and cool, actually.

If Democrats actually wanted to win every election from now until forever, this would do it for them. Imagine worrying how you’re going to feed your kids and then the mail arrives “BTW you’ve qualified for food stamps for the last 18 months, here they are” instant loyal voter.

But they won’t

If you like your feudal lord, you can keep them!

Likewise, the IRS already knows everything about me. If I qualify for, say, food stamps, just have the IRS send me the food stamps. Don’t make me jump through hoops when I’m already destitute, come on.

This would make tens of thousands of jobs redundant and make many social programs much more efficient.

Buy 8 tb hard drives and fill them up. It’s cheaper than streaming even if you managed to fill one every year.

Go tell the mods I Ad Homed you. I will cherish that ban.

I’m linking this thread next time someone tells me vegans are insufferable.

Find a hobby that isn’t reactionary.

Thanks for the dozen replies. I never expressed any intention to engage with you about veganism only to point out the reactionary tendencies you’re displaying.

Yes I’m ad homing you right now. That’s the purpose of my interaction and you’re actually the one derailing, from my perspective.

“Are you afraid of my debate prowess?”
You don’t get to act so smug and assured when you’re going to bat for the dominant ideology.

No, you’re a reactionary because vegans are right and you’re starting right off with the slimy “debate” techniques. It’s very clear to me that your only goal is to “look right” in front of everyone, rather than actually engage.

A reactionary hobby.

There’s no good, non reactionary reason to be seeking out arguments with vegans.

Do any of these have:

• As nice a keyboard, that I don’t have to worry about spilling a cup of coffee on.
• Track point or similar.
• Ability to survive a fall down a flight of stairs.
• 4:3 or 16:10 aspect ratio.
• Ports.
  While being built with repairability in mind?

I day dream about stuffing the guts of a modern laptop inside with a USB hub and an enormous battery, but that’s a huge undertaking.

Evolution creates a lot of crabs, and you can find the golden ratio expressed in nature all over. What does that have to do with the price of tea?

You’re hogging my whole screen

Zabadoh is talking about drugs I’m pretty sure

Imagine the array of mobile internet of shit devices we would have if phone companies had a reasonable payment plan based on only the data you actually use.

Hell yeah, they’re recording my time by the second, they should pay me by the second. If I’m clocked in you can be depositing a penny every 6 seconds into my bank account. If we started charging interest for the time between your paycheck being earned and being paid out they would figure out how to make that happen.

Call me crazy but I’d rather have to learn how to use APT then have to learn each and every creative technique they come up with the make me install the ask toolbar or norton AV or sign me up for a newsletter. Linux has never had that problem.
