I’ll be buying a new car soon. Fuck Mazda.

You know what they’d have called him in Nazi Germany?

Herr Durr.

Fascist.

I had this weird sensation when I watched Metropolis. I found myself thinking “ugh every trope and this is hacky as hell” then I remembered: “oh wait, this is the source of all of those things.” It made it a lot easier to appreciate.

Oink oink

Yes, but are they sliving?

Some people drink Pepsi. Some people drink Coke. The wacky morning DJ says democracy’s a joke.

Aww c’mon now, it was just a little whoopsie-doodle! We all make mistakes! Surely, it’s not fair to hold those who enforce the violence of the state upon the rest of us to the same standard we hold regular people to!

These people are never arguing in good faith.

Treating them like they are is part of their effort to self legitimize, with the side benefit of wearing out people who are acting in good faith.

“slipped past”

More like “walked through the wide open thoroughfare designed to allow them in” via deliberate underfunding of regulators and de-fanging consumer protections.

Imagine if a person did this to a bunch of individuals. What would the punishment be?

That person would likely be in prison for the rest of their lives, at least, they would be removed from society as they have proven that they cannot be trusted to participate in good faith.

How will these companies be punished?

@Col3814444 yes, I absolutely meant her. For whatever reason KBin adds the mentions in replies automatically and I’m not sure if those need to be there for replies to work or not, so I just leave them.

@Col3814444

What a garbage person.

@Jackolantern

Is there somewhere to put this pitchfork? I was all ready to use it, then I immediately calmed down when I read further.

I’ll start the pile I guess.

They’re trying again with Red Hat. Probably the second biggest implosion in the last few weeks.

Code reviews are only bad until you realize you can just say “cool story bro” and move on.

No change is always an acceptable response to review comments imo, unless it’s one of mine.

If you can’t defend that turd of a code unit, why the hell do you think it deserves to go into production?

@haxe11

Lol, they were biased 20 years ago when I debated.

It all depends on the local community judges are recruited from.

I lost rounds multiple times with the only note being “Global warming is a lie”

Nobody wants to judge debate tournaments except former debaters and parents forced into it by their students.

You get what you get when it comes to debate judges.

The author of the article is clearly biased themselves.

I think that one of the most difficult things to deal with more common bots, spamming, reposting, etc.

Is that parsing all the commentary and dealing with it on a service wide level is really hard to do, in terms of computing power and sheer volume of content. Seems to me that do this on an instance level with user numbers in the 10’s of thousands is a heck of a lot more reasonable than doing it on a 10’s of millions of users service.

What I’m getting at is that this really seems like something that could (maybe even should) be built into the instance moderation tools, at least some method of marking user activity as suspicious for further investigation by human admins/mods.

We’re really operating on the assumption that people spinning up instances are acting in good faith, until they prove that they aren’t, I think the first step is giving good faith actors the tools to moderate effectively, then worrying about bad faith admins.

@JCreazy Likely the same individuals that would prefer there be fewer voters in general.

I’m really impressed with kbin so far. I’m still learning how to navigate it and all, it’s missing the polish of something like Mastodon that is further along its development path. But it looks really promising.

Ultimately, I’m kind of hoping to end up on a much smaller instance possibly even self hosted after things settle down and mature further. The fediverse integration is wild and kind of strange to wrap your head around at first. At least it was for me.

To me, kbin feels the most like old reddit. I liked old reddit, but I’m definitely missing some QoL features.

@exscape That’s probably the wildest thing I’m finding about all of this. Reading that as the top comment, from kbin.social.

It’s an old Game of Thrones reference. Just being cheeky.
