Fuck that.

We’ve caught on to how this works now. I anticipate about two more iterations of tedious, drawn out flip-flopping and misinformation during the remaining steps before we are either finally let in or the whole thing fizzles out.

I’m looking forward to our market share doubling from almost nothing to almost nothing. Still, not a terrible idea.

These guys are literally the last people in the world I would trust to regulate themselves responsibily.

Yes yes yes.

I mean, I have as much of a problem with Musk and his insane antics as the next guy, but is TikTok really an improvement in that regard?

Are we at the point where we have to select “the lesser fascist” when contemplating who should have control of our social media?

Can anyone give a very brief description of the parties in the map legend for those of us not familiar with the Spanish political landscape?

Yeah dude, it’s the brand that’s the problem, you’ve figured it out.

After this, everyone will love it.

Seems pretty plausible that the compute required for the “good” version was too high for them to sustainably run it for the normies.

In any other situation I would ask what the hell you guys are doing over there, but as it stands we have pretty much exactly the same situation here in Sweden.

Pretty scary development honestly. Europe really does not need a populist far-right resurgence right now.

You can’t fool us Erdogan, we’ve seen this move before.

By tomorrow he’ll have new demands. He’ll demand Sweden form a space agency and plant the Turkish flag on the moon or something like that, mark my words.

Some people seem to frame the shooting as justifiable to prevent the potential danger the kids reckless driving would pose to others. While I personally think this was a completely undefensible escalation of violence on the police’s end, I think there can be some reasonable discussion on what the appropriate level of force to stop the kid from speeding off would be. Sure, why not. Would I argue a person who is speeding away from the cops while shot is likelier to cause an accident involving others than one who isn’t shot? Also yes.

But having a crowdfunder for the individual that did the shooting, in practice rewarding someone for executing a kid for speeding without a license? What the actual fuck?

Jesus christ, that’s so much better. The insane amount of negative space in the default lemmy look was extremely annoying to me.
