It faces fierce competition from the real news, though.

Quality post, that.

Of course it is. And of course the deaths happening in the “detention centres” are in addition to the ones in the field.

He’s doing a pretty good job of that right now for free, so… I’d advise no deal.

Oh, there’s definitely been a system crash.

Thinking of code only as a cost without considering its value is very peculiar. It seems to me like thinking of words in a newspaper story as a cost.

One could reduce the cost of both code and words to zero. Would that help the business deliver value?

Xitter. First syllable goes like the Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party.

Again, Dear BlueSky People: this is social media. As much as I might agree with you’re saying, your whimsical pseudonym is not helping me to see you as a real person with a real name. In this moment, it’s socially important for real people to identify themselves, bravely, as real people.

Ummm… “Whatever anyone might or might not have done, government officials should not be killing them.” People who don’t have enough spine to say that, loudly, clearly, and often aren’t qualified to run for office, nor to be in office.

Speaking isn’t loud enough.

I believe the anonymous account’s reply was answering zero to the question “How many people died in concentration camps under the Obama administration?”

Well, sure, but other than that okay, amirite?

I like the culture on BlueSky, except this: I don’t like anonymity and pseudonyms. I like real names. I like to know who’s talking. I like the fearlessness of people putting their names on what they write

I know there are other perspectives on this point. I’m only letting y’all be clear about mine.

I know you well enough to say: can confirm.

Now, now. Boys will be boys. Oh, and men will be boys. And… (checks notes) some boys and men will be sociopathic monsters. We can’t let little details like their inhumanity be held against them, can we?

A well-designed experiment could determine the validity of statements 1 and 2 pretty quickly. While any choice about 3 is a matter of preference, the scientific basis of it is sound.

“Officials have said the app is better than a birth certificate.”

Well, for plausible deniability, yes.

Brownshirts.

Apparently you’re not the only one.

Looks like the revolution WILL be televised.

Remember to remind everyone that it was larger than both Trump inaugurals.

“Wondering what your career looks like in our increasingly uncertain, AI-powered future? According to Palantir CEO Alex Karp, it’s going to involve less of the comfortable office work to which most people aspire, a more old fashioned grunt work with your hands.”

K. You first, Bub.

“Nato troops stayed a little off the frontlines.” Heed this stern rebuke from General Bonespur.

Me, I'd encourage them to get going. You know... as soon as possible.

Yes. And Sweden is probably next in the crosshairs, because the other Nobel prizes are given out there. If Obama had got one for physics or medicine, you could count on Gotland being essential to America's defense as well. I mean, it even *sounds* a lot like Greenland

"Risks becoming", in the same way that the Sun "risks becoming" hot near the surface.

I'd want back in.

Growing sense of embarrassment at Fifa over Donald Trump peace prize There is a growing sense of embarrassment among mid-level and senior officials within Fifa over the awarding of the peace prize to Donald Trump

When *officials at FIFA* see a moral quagmire, one has to start believing that there’s a real problem.
