Apple is leaning into the privacy thing because it’s a contest they can never be beaten at. Apple has made all of their money on devices and app store sales, not advertising. So they can afford to be the company that fights for E2E encryption and leads the way on permissions. While Google, Facebook, and Microsoft can never even compete on that field because they’re latched to the ad teet.

Sorry but this is kind of a crazy take at this point. We're all going to pretend Harry Reid was just some clown like the modern GOP? We have footage from fighter jets that everyone, including the US govt, acknowledge cannot be explained. Not just unidentifiable, unexplainable. And these sightings were confirmed by multiple different state-of-the-art detection systems, so it wasn't a hardware or software glitch. While it may look blurry to you, the people trained on these systems know what they're looking at, which is a large object accelerating in impossible ways. And afaik that aspect of it isn't even disputed by anyone in the military or academia.
The mistake people make is jumping automatically to aliens, or lumping all UFO talk in with the Matt Gaetz theatrical type shit. But suggesting "it's probably just a balloon" shows you haven't actually examined the evidence or heard from the pilots (who are serious, intelligent people). Whatever the explanation, it has zero chance of being mundane.
Every possible explanation -- including foreign tech, natural phenomena, and yes aliens -- is interesting and consequential as fuck. And we should be able to pay attention to multiple things at once.
Luckily it doesn't really matter. The fact is that Congress has the ability to impeach and remove. Assuming the Executive is on board, who's going to stop them?
I mean, who did the founders think would be interpreting "high crimes and misdemeanors" and "good behaviour" when it came to impeaching members of the Court? Of course it's Congress.
And the thing is, there are already laws on the books forcing justices to recuse in such scenarios, so they could impeach tomorrow and not even have to spend much energy on "high crimes and misdemeanors" or "imposing a code of ethics". The problem is that the political capital for impeachment isn't there, so even if the Dems successfully pass their ethics code, it will be toothless.
I mean OP literally explained themselves in the post. We’re all glad you enjoy it though lol
Yup.
Imagine your facebook-addicted uncle complaining about the woke platform that he uses all day every day. Then imagine he has the money to buy facebook, as well as the hubris to think he could do a better job running it. That’s basically what happened here.
lol are the downvotes for the terrorist bit?
A device check is inherently a browser check, you’re absolutely right and the other person is confused. Or shilling has already arrived to lemmy, idk. “Google isn’t nefariously using this ability that we actually haven’t yet given them” is a bizarre argument.
Serious question, isn't this going to force them to release their trademark on the word "tweet"?
“Western media won’t post it” literally always means “I believe Russian propaganda videos”
How would that help this situation? It seems like a corporate greed thing, and plenty of rich shitheads are well traveled.
If anything we should be asking why a majority of those construction workers probably voted for the people doing this to them.
The people in the screenshot aren’t accomplishing anything but making themselves feel good. Of all the pointless activities in this vast, pointless universe, complaining about reddit on reddit takes the cake
His weight adds a lot to it I’m sure, but his general lack of grace or coordination is generally what makes it funny to people imo. Like it’s a hilariously bad impression of a lightsaber battle, so bad that I think most people assumed it was staged/self-aware. I think it could be a 60 year old woman or an 8 year old kid, it’d still be funny.
I was at 12 years when I deleted my account. Had a ton of gold left and lots of coins for awards, which it might be dumb but I enjoyed giving to helpful comments.
I use a new throwaway now in the event I have to (mostly my local sub and game subs). And I block all ads which I didn’t use to. Fuck em
