Me too.
I’m new here and don’t know what to put in my profile. She/them, living in Aotearoa/New Zealand.
Me too.
Remarkably, the letter’s signees include Ilya Sutskever, the company’s chief scientist and a member of its board, who has been blamed for coordinating the boardroom coup against Altman in the first place.
I am so confused.
Ah that explains it. Thanks!
I thought they had already done it. I got the notification months ago.
The top result is already out. Obviously the John Oliver fans got their wish and Pūteketeke won. Thousands of them had to be disqualified for cheating, though.
We are all waiting now to see who is in second. Fingers crossed for the Fairy Tern, New Zealand’s most endangered bird!
I’ve never used twitter in my life, still have a vague interest in what Musk is doing to it though.
That tracks.
Pretty sure Elon Musk railed against bots on twitter despite having been proven to have used bots on twitter to manipulate opinion himself.
Apart from my illness support group, I’m only on fediverse social media now, and only via web browser. It’s a breath of fresh air.
I’m realising there are subtle ways that enshittification constrains and shapes actual conversations between us.
Outside is in my top 5. It really holds up.
The accoustic version of Dead Man Walking with just Bowie and Reeves Gabrels is probably one of my all time favourites.
We are “social animals” though. It’s normal for the social animals to attempt to regulate what each other does and how they treat others in the group.
You see this in apes, elephants, whales, etc.
I think Medecines Sans Frontiers is good?
I don’t really understand some of this. Why pair it with a VAT? VAT itself is a known to be a regressive tax because poor people/ households spend a higher percentage of their incomes on consumption (food etc) so the effect of a VAT is to raise their overall tax percentage.
This is definitely what happens in my country, where we have a flat 15% VAT on all goods and services. As someone on disability that means I’m being taxed an extra 15% on most of my income.
Disappointed, was looking forward to more.
At least they had two great seasons and no loose ends to tie up so I can at least imagine Aniq and Zoe live happily ever after.
Never has the “Just a moment…” snippet view been more apropos.
Yes, it’s a massive level of cringe.
Gmail is convenient, but if it’s about to be filled with 😊 and 👍 then I’ve got to stop using it for any serious communication.
I agree, it is technically true. Sorry if I sounded too nitpicking, I’ve just come back from a week with no internet access /news so for a moment I thought you were talking about all of them doing it during the events of the last few days!
Germany, France and Spain also have killed and kidnapped citizens.
You may wish to rephrase that…
I didn’t tell him, just sat there in shock getting my lap peppered.
If it happened to me now I would say something, but I was young and not that assertive, so was probably like a rabbit in the headlights!
Yes, it was quite good. They didn’t really cover all his genocide crimes. I guess it would take a book.
