Until they deplatform you and all of your email addresses stop working.

Ironic in a thread about censorship and silencing people.

We don't trust Twitter. That is just what sensationalist papers claim.

For the millionth time: the number of bots tweeting about something doesn't imply a lot of people are actually seeing the tweets. Also, afaik all the botometers are crap, so studie…

CO2 taxes

I had the exact same association :-)

Lots of hosts offer "Wordpress Hosting" - is that fundamentally different from offering Elasticsearch? I don't think merely using the name of an open source product is such a huge …

So it wasn't the protesters, it was the security forces who were planning a coup? Interesting perspective. Are they being prosecuted? Where did they meet and discuss their plan? Ho…

May I ask where you get your information from? I am genuinely curious. I googled it, and while the exact circumstances don't seem to be clear yet, it doesn't sound like murder to m…

Are you referring to various legal shenanigans? Is it really an "insurrection" if it is a process within the legal system? I don't think so. And I don't think Trump at any point en…

You should get more information than just from mainstream media. Otoh the real issue probably is that information does not even matter, only group affiliation does. You'll just bel…

"would happily kill any of them without a second thought" Bullshit

"attempt to install a different regime" How can anybody believe such nonsense? Sorry, but simply taking over the capitol doesn't automatically make you the ruler of a new regime. I…

What damage to democracy do you expect from the Capitol incident? I think they'll put a few more guards up, and that's it. Or they use it as an excuse for more totalitarian control…

You can be against both things at the same time (cancelling said party and said party's plans against neutrality).

Thanks!

Are there good politically neutral alternatives to Stripe and Twilio? Asking for a friend.

"They're rejecting obvious evidence of President Donald Trump's historic unpopularity" Didn't he receive more votes than 2016? "A recent paper in PNAS, however, provides a single e…

As long as you aware that the friend is imaginary, perhaps. If it gets to real, I'd say it is a mental illness. Not sure if you can simply create that by willpower/meditation, thou…

Maybe somebody could create an AI that evaluates the factfulness of articles.

I'm not convinced deliberately trying to create an imaginary friend is a good idea. It sounds like deliberately inducing mental illness.

You can quit your job, though. And you can negotiate with management. The only reason you are a serf is because you choose to be one. (Spare me the "many people can't afford to qui…

Not sure how you arrive at that interpretation of "people who feel fascism is the only thing that can help them". Maybe it is about people who don't want to be called fascists, for…

Isn't that standard fare for workplaces everywhere in the world now? Not that I like it much, but it seems to be the normal approach.
