You can probavly get better, more accountable moderators, if it meant losing your job for violating the rules. Money could also be invested in developers to maintain Mastadon and issue security fixes.

This is the problem with a stressful role, with little compensation. Most people wouldn't want to be in this position. It sounds like anyone that runs a moderately sized open source project. More money would solve most of these issues.

I think social media is making people unhappy by doom scrolling all day long and thinking it's real life. I have relatives that are convinced their son can't get a job, because "AI replaced all of them".

Welcome to bug bounty. I've been heavily involved in the community for the last 7 years or so, and got tired of doing free work for companies that will go to great lengths to not pay you. It's much better to be a consultant, and c

Lol. I predicted this would happen in the early 2000s, and I finally got to see it happen. Companies didn't want to deal with piracy anymore and made everything a service. The same thing has now happened with software. The only think p

Just what we need. They stopped Nuclear energy from taking over in the 70s and 80s, why not destroy Air travel too?

Do you really think after years of crushing defeats in battle and sanctions, that they have the money or soldiers to fight the EU? If they did, they would have taken over Ukraine by now. Now if China gets involved? It's a different sto

I would have liked the 'suspicious pressure' when Parler was shutdown by colluding tech companies and the US government.

With the AI we currently have, I'm not sure how you can have any kind of meaningful relationship. My guess is mental illness.

"Being attentive to your practice (i.e. recording, going over your work, etc.)" If you practice the same thing over and over, you won't get better. If you fail, figure out what you did wrong, and improve, that's competit

If you want to stay the same and not become better at something, you are correct. Competition is many times about challening yourself, failing, learning from that failure, and eventually succeeding.

Trump was the only one that testified against Epstein and witnesses, under oath, stated he wasn't with any of the girls on the island. Esptein hating him is a good thing as I don't really think we should trust someone like him as

Still not as bad as the previous administration colluding with Facebook, Twitter, and Youtube to censor American citizens and in many cases, get them fired from their jobs.

Sure. Black markets are cheaper than legal weed, because they don't have to pay taxes due to heavy regulations. There have been multiple studies in Colorado and California that have shown that black markets aren't shrinking, but

I think the idea of this is unhealthy at best. It will create fake memories of your loved ones and most likely create people that are completely dependent on these fake AI relationships.

At this point, if it's not remote, I won't even bother. I can't see myself uprooting my entire family to a different state, only to be laid off in a year.

"Why not push to increase their low wages and get some job protection, things that could “make it a sustainable job for everybody?”" It's obvious they don't know anything about the coffee business. Smaller shops have raz

Can I use AI to create the prompts to share?

I disagree. Legalizing drugs has only created larger black markets in states like California and allowed cartels to legally get into the business and gain more power in other countries.

Now check how many recalls there are with companies like Ford. Recalls are pretty much standard in the vehicle industry.

Stallman is a creep and always has been. There are many accounts over the years of him saying creepy things to women at various conferences/events.

What Grok described is all true. All of these things did happen during the election. Many people would want to investigate this further, to find out the truth on the matter, but everyone that tried this got arrested or fired. From the &#x27

"For example, the era of oil-based engines began not because of business or consumer demand, but because of World War I." Another title should be that War drives innovation.

If you rely on Youtube ad revenue, they control you. As we've seen during the previous 8 years or so, when you say something that goes against the narrative that Youtube wants to push, your videos get demonitized. Regardless of the pla

Politics is what destroyed the GNU movement. If you don't want certain people using your software, vet them first and only allow certain people to use it. Stop with this nonsense.

If a company gets 0% response from a certain group, why should they have to pay for ads, when the likelihood they will find a candidate is next to nothing? This also only ever goes in one direction. A friend of mine works for a company run
