No. That's not what happened. The FBI told Facebook "Be on the lookout for an uptick in disinformation campaigns." A few weeks later, the Hunter Biden laptop story broke. It had all the hallmarks of what the FBI was warning a

I think Zuckerberg did a great job. I thought he was so robotic from the video clips that I saw but he's in fact quite normal. I think this was a great PR move on his part because I felt like he was being honest and transparent and mos

I don't usually submit jokes but this genuinely made me laugh and figured others on here would find it similarly funny.

Fraud isn't one big problem, it's the biggest problem. Fraud is rampant. And no ability to reverse transactions means that fraud will keep going until no one trusts the technology at all and we are back to square one. Without trus

The main reason to use Linux is because almost everyone else is. If you're only installing it on your own servers at home, then that's okay. But in a business environment, the minor differences or improvements with FreeBSD are sim

Aluminum wiring is the thalidomide of the construction industry. No matter how much you improve it, you will never get over the stigma. No one will buy a house with state-of-the-art aluminum wiring just like no one will ever take thalidomid

Most people that work for Amazon in the warehouse like working there. All you're hearing are from the union plants that are coordinating with media that both want to see Amazon fail. Meanwhile the fact that unions are having such a har

Purposefully manipulative headlines like this are why I don't trust most articles from sources like vox. The headline is used in a way to make it seem like Amazon is targeting students that are vulnerable to them, meanwhile Amazon is t

None of those will because they rely on engagement to make money. They need people logging into their servers so that they can see what they are looking at. That's not how RSS works, so of course they won't support it.

I've been using Blogtrottr to email me my RSS feeds for whatever I'm following. It's run without any hiccups in I think over 10 years. I have tons of feeds just emailing me every day and I skim through them and read whatever

Attributes suck when you're trying to write that data into a database. That's the main reason why lots of implementations enforced no attributes, because it made writing that data into a database table very hard.

I'm shocked that the police even took prints. When my house was burglarized, they looked around and then told us to file a report and left.

You 100% did say that people should think about what their community wants. But thank you for agreeing with me, and that freedom is doing what you want, and what people around you think shouldn't affect your decisions.

If you're a pregnant woman in the US South that wants to get an abortion, should you not get that abortion if the people around you wouldn't be pleased? Or should you be free to do whatever the fuck you want, because it's you

You need to stop worrying about other people moralizing your choices. If you asked those same people if getting abortions is immoral, they would likely say no, and that no one should be moralizing a woman's right to choose what to do w

It's only slow because of ridiculous and unnescessary regulations around it. They can easily speed things up while still keeping it safe, but their (and our/US's) laws are kicking themselves in the butt.

Who cares, why would Tesla be beholden for the actions of its largest shareholder? Musk is acting in a capacity completely outside of Tesla. To think that Tesla is somehow connected is disinformation.

NIMBYs would all of a sudden want more housing to be built? 100% delusional. Nothing would change except homeowners would get crushed by property taxes and especially given the horrific income inequality in California, all the middle and lo

Companies need to spend more money on customer service. Period. End of story. But it's expensive so they would rather risk fucking over a percentage of their customers in hopes that they can contain any problems. At some point, governm

Thank you for this. I haven't thought about Kate Bush since the 80s (she got replaced by Tory Amos and Sarah McLachlan in that genre in the 90s), and I was never a big fan but I knew this song. I didn't realize the impact she had

Canada is rife with oligopolies and the government does nothing to make this right. Everything is much more expensive in Canada vs the US because there's simply no competition.

These talking points are all lies, especially Prop 13. Look at the home prices and the home sales, all of which are getting sold at ridiculously high prices. The turnover is huge across the state. Demand for housing is still strong despite
