I don't think Twitter will survive without platform protection, so they'll need to change their actions. I am curious if the courts will agree if annotating tweets with a fact check is editorializing.

Of course: they'd be a publisher in that case. However, I don't think they would last long as a company without platform protections.

How did this end up on the third page so quickly?

Could you expand further on that? I don't see anything in the order that prohibits speech, instead focusing on questioning if Twitter et al. qualify for platform protections. Plus some other ad-money ammunition. An argument could be ma

Regression to 4chan? Assuming this continues as-is they can still moderate the site to remove obscene material, but otherwise have to act like platforms. I don't think this draft will survive for long.

No doubt the President would want his friends to benefit. Infotainment is cancer.

I am not a lawyer. I just read the draft. Publishers are absolutely allowed to comment on the validity of the content they've published - why are you asking? Twitter is benefiting from the fact they're classed as a _platform_. Pla

I'm not excited for such sophistry. You can read an essay by Mussolini on the topic here [0], but consider practice vs theory. Fascism is usually cited in reference to Nazi Germany / Fascist Italy, both of aspired towards totalita

I would think so, yes. In that case I wouldn't be surprised if the comment section is removed, or the moderation team of Fox News more carefully sticks to platform principles. Honestly not sure.

Language matters. Fascism is certainly authoritarian but way, way worse than current matters. It waters down the horrors suffered by those who lived under the yoke of it.

The twitter link above does a good job. Two most important things that stuck out to me is: 1. Platform vs Publisher. Alleges Twitter's fact checks to be editorial content, and thus does not benefit from platform protections. Ditto for

The issue isn't you or me calling him out, it's whether Twitter is acting as a platform or publisher by annotating the tweet. The document here alleges that they are like a publisher, and will lose vital protection. This has serio

That's indeed a janky setup :P What libraries / frameworks do you use in Common Lisp to generate the site?

TIL. Thank you

Nothing wrong with that. Making my blog from "scratch" is a source of motivation for me to actually write articles. The experience so far has been overwhelmingly positive.

I checked out your articles and I like your writing style! I thought about doing batch export but ended up being too lazy to integrate it in my release flow. My compromise is to use this snippet: (defun make-blogging-mode () (in

Just wanted to say that I am impressed by the emvi landing page. Slick and high fps.

I wrote an article about that here: https://dpbriggs.ca/blog/making-a-blog-with-rust-and-orgmode The main changes since that article is I use systemd services to manage caddy / webserver instead of tmux sessions.

Don't they realize that people will just generate euphemisms? Idiotic.

Another aspect is that your blog should make you want to blog. The tech stack therefore mirrors your interests. It feels great to use tools built by _yourself_ for _yourself_. Doubly so if the stack is janky (rust / org-mode for me). T

Preface: I like very detailed pull-requests. For me this includes JIRA information and implementation notes. Most of my recent work has been backend API stuff, and org-babel/restclient [0] lets me do fast test-driven-development in the

Rust prefers explicit, deal-with-the-complexity types. The OP lumped ownership-related types (String/&str) and the nightmare that is filepath encodings (OsString/OsStr). The first case is related to ownership/borrowing as

Over time I found that I appreciated it more and more. There's a lot of weird and wonderful edge cases and it's a joy to see them encoded in the type system. You don't have to resort to stackoverflow questions like this: htt

Definitely sparks joy for me. Tooling is fantastic and once you're experienced enough it feels very well put together.

I don't think it is good form to copy/paste this comment to each reply, even if they're making mostly redundant replies. You may want to link to your original comment instead.

I've been using Emacs for everything since highschool and through University and my career. The best way to get used to it is to bootstrap with tutorials and then just keep using it. I learned a lot about it from doing basic projects
