"Spend less time once on" is different than "hate". I hated FB's feed so much that I was reluctant to get on in the first place, a metric completely different from how long I would spend once I DID open it.

This seems like an admission that twitter is dead.

article was fine, mastodon.art's mod didn't like the person who originally posted it

Early on, he was selling some of his Tesla stock, thus depressing its value, in order to fund twitter. So I don't believe the theory that he bought it specifically to tank it. Though he may eventually claim "I meant to do that".

I'm confused by this - there are various things Meta might want from the Fediverse (free content, more data, more people to serve ads to), but new users can't be one of them. No one from Mastodon is likeky to migrate to Meta's platform; the people who want to use Meta are already there.

I think you're misunderstanding the meaning of the statement if you think safely regulations are written for union job security.

My trust in him dropped after being exposed to his activity on twitter. It seemed like he had a habit of trying to apply his knowledge to things he didn't understand or where he was missing the point. I'm no longer on twitter and can't remember specific examples, so it may have been more that that format did not work for him.

1. It's based/relies on utilitarianism for its moral framework, and I'm just decidedly not a utilitarian. I consider relationships, rights, and motives to matter when judging something.

2. The whole "earn to give" thing is just a disastrous concept, most publicly in giving cover to things like FTX.

3. It lacks any theory of power or overall social or economic change. Singer on this issue:

While I'm with you partly (I don't think rights should be removeable to majority rule), I'm not sure how much effective democracy we actually have, as I don't see much of a straight line between the power of individuals to vote and the ability to gain policies that people actually want.

I don't have the answers here, but it's quite an assumption to say that EA is most efficient and following another method would be "sacrificing" potential. EA has some major glaring flaws.

I have a pixel 5a and haven't had that problem, currently using Fennec (firefox fork).

I found the procedurally-produced planets in No Man's Sky to be stunningly beautiful. Then I would walk around on them and the similar-but-not-quite look of every part of the landscape would slowly drive me INSANE.

Combo attacks - I'm not coordinated to hit the buttons in order fast enough. I tried Black Desert when it was free and this was the dealbreaker for me, though it wasn't the only thing that bugged me about the game.

I'm using calckey.world and it was a bit crunchy at first but is working well now. The userbase at this point is small compared to the mastodon servers we're used to seeing.

Nope, absolutely disagree. People were being used as pawns and pushed towards the border by Belarus, where they were freezing and Poland would not let humanitarian aid or journalists reach them. Neither country's government gave a shit about the value of human life.

When there were people freezing near the border, that was on Poland as well.

Has therebeen any successful implementation of a DAO?

Sadly some service people have already died for Saudi Arabia in the Khobar Towers bombing (1996). The presence of American soldiers in Saudi Arabia was also the impetus behind the 9/11 bombings.

A foreign policy cynic could say that this deal changes little, because the U.S. already helps SA willingly, for example, we now help them bomb Yemen because we want to, rather than because we're legally obligated to. But I find the idea that someone would want to codify this insane, and am surprised it isn't bigger news.

This is just more marketing on OpenAI's part, to push the idea that they are close to creating something "smarter" than humans.
