I came here to talk about general relativity but you beat me to it!
You know that's a really good point, maybe I was too quick to react.
Just because they didn't participate doesn't mean they didn't know it was there.
That seems oddly specific.
I think it 's (Edit: started out) more about how Tim Buckley is terrible than anything. (Edit: Then from there it) sort of collapsed into its own joke. No one really knows or cares about the context anymore, its become a self-contained meme with no real meaningful connection to Tim, the original comic, or its message now.
"The Car" was out of reach for most Germans back then and Hitler envisioned everyone having one, which was kind of revolutionary at the time. He famously created the VW Beatle to serve this purpose. His was also a militaristic regieme, and the press was probably there out of obligation or something idk but I'm sure they wanted to see the latest state of the art technology.
So yeah I consider this to be materially different from filming an advertisement abusing the power of office for an already successful product in an already successful industry for the richest person in the history of humanity asshole that bought you out for $250 million dollars because you're a whore for money.
So we should just give him everything he asked for on a silver platter with no resistance whatsoever and not offer any meaningful alternatives?
So the devs disavowed the term and merged "they/them" into the docs, right?
Man they keep coming back to the litterbox thing, it really freaks them tf out. Even though its been debunked dozens of time, my conservative friends all swear they know a guy that knows a guy that swears he saw one for real!
This is AI generated
We're not going to give Donald Trump what he wants, so we're going to pass this spending bill that gives him everything he wants! That'll how 'im!
Logseq has a horrendous UX. The concept is amazing but check back in a decade to see if its usable.
I have doubts about this claim. I found an image taken what appears to be seconds before this one that describes Adolf as inspecting a new prototype.

History does repeat itself, but this isn't one of the repetitions.
Yeah, lots. Lots and lots.
In what way was Signal coöperating with Ukraine before? Signal only has access to when you created your account and the last time you connected to their servers; that's it.
In what way did Ukraine honestly expect to utilize this information in their war? I can't find any evidence that they've coöperated in the past, or that this would have been actually useful information. We have court cases proving they only store what they say they do:
everything in Signal is end-to-end encrypted by default, the broad set of personal information that is typically easy to retrieve in other apps simply doesn’t exist on Signal’s servers,” the company wrote. “The subpoena requested a wide variety of information that fell into this nonexistent category, including the addresses of the users, their correspondence, and the name associated with each account.”
Signal went on to further note that it “doesn’t have access to your messages; your chat list; your groups; your contacts; your stickers; your profile name or avatar; or even the GIFs you search for.”
The only data Signal was able to hand over for the accounts listed in the subpoena were the times and dates when they were created and the last time they connected to the app.

Also, Ukrainians have and continue to use Signal every day. This isn't like Starlink turning off internet for Ukraine but not Russia; its Ukraine asking for information that doesn't exist and then getting upset that they didn't get the non-existant data. It's a complete non-story designed to get you to use weak messaging apps, don't fall for it. Signal doesnt want to cooperate with any government and this is a good thing for privacy. If Signal could give information to Ukraine on Russians, it could also give Russia information on Ukrainians. But Signal can't give anyone information on anyone, and it needs to stay that way.
Slava Ukraini, Fuck Putin.

Wow 😳
That's fair. My only real gripe with Signal is that it isn't federated. Matrix isn't ready for the general public and I'm doubtful it ever will be, so in the meantime Signal is the next best thing.
source for audits
Not me, but someone on the signal forums helpfully compiled many of them; there are a lot more than I thought! https://community.signalusers.org/t/wiki-overview-of-third-party-security-audits/13243
Who said these were part time jobs? No one. A lot of Baristas work full the jobs actually, because they can't get any other jobs. Should they die of starvation or exposure or buried in medical debt just because you think they're beneath you? What if you lose your job and the market is shit and all you can find for a year or more is some "shitty unskilled labor" job? Should you be forced from your home to live on the streets just because you can't find a job in your career field through no fault of your own?
Let's do some quick, back of the napkin math. I'm going to round for simplicity.
This asshole took a bonus of 96 million dollars. Let's assume that all 1,000 employees have an average salary of $45,000, which was the US average salary last time I checked. Employee benefits, which include health insurance and retirement contributions, typically cost an employer 1.5x the salary but I'm being lazy so let's 2x it. So each of the 1,000 employees costs the company $90,000.
$$96,000,000 / $90,000 = 1,066
Or in other words: At $90,000 per employee, the $96 million bonus could fund these employees at full time schedules with full benefits for an entire year. This asshole stole their salaries for themselves.
Just because the government lets them do it doesn't make it moral or OK. If he didn't take the bonus he'd still be a gazzilionaire and one of the highest paid employees in the company, but he elected to steal 1000 salaries instead.
No one is in this thread calling for Starbucks specifically to change their ways, they're outraged that this is allowed to happen at all. And yes, the only organization that can stand up to corporate power is the government, but that has been completely sucked up corporate Americas asshole, so all we can do is point out the injustice and hypocrisy of the system and hope enough other people get as angry as we are so we can all overthrow this bullshit system of oppression, and your "well what did you expect working a shit job, sucks to suck lmao" attitude does absolutely nothing to help, and only reinforces the idea that this is all somehow normal or OK.
I find a nonlinear note taking app like Obsidian or Logseq to be helpful when I need to organize large amounts of information. Links and tags make it easy to traverse large amounts of data quickly, and since I link and tag however tf I want, I can usually follow my own thought process to rethink something if I have to.
Do you keep a list of workers or jobs who you feel are beneath you and don't deserve enough money to support themselves with basic essentials like food, water, or shelter?
