Who the fuck needs AI to SUMMARIZE an EMAIL, GOOGLE?

The executives who don’t do any real work, pretend they do (chiefly to themselves), and make ALL of the purchasing decisions despite again not doing any real work.

You DID NOT HAVE that leverage, not after the primaries were over and not with Trump as the only alternative!

Did you not read my post? I voted for Harris so did every leftist I know. Please shut up about misrepresenting my actions by continually forgetting in your rhetoric the fact that I stated I voted for Harris, I also did not advocate for NOT voting for Harris though I expressed a lot of uncertainty over feeling ok voting for Biden and then Harris after she made it clear there was going to be zero realworld daylight between her and Biden’s policy on the Palestinian Genocide. It seems that for you this is emotional pathos about imagined characters being your punching bag because you are upset and confused.

Further, it seems that you are upset precisely because the voters who voted for Biden but did not vote for Harris did in fact have a whole lot of leverage that the DNC and Biden/Harris refused to acknowledge, and they likely lost the election by ignoring it in favor of choosing to play cozy with rich donors and republicans. They refused to allow a Palestinian to even speak at the DNC while giving prime stage time to fucking LIZ CHENEY A REPUBLICAN.

…and what fucking primary? The one the DNC and more relevantly Biden undermined by not dropping out until it was too late to have a primary?

I understand you are upset, but you are acting like a republican in that it seems like you NEED a morality story, you need some selfish, reactionary person acting in an infuriating way to be angry at. You can’t admit that your way of understanding the world is flawed and that a whole bunch of unsustainable shit has been normalized in your mind that is falling apart catastrophically, and that would always have inveitably fallen apart catastrophically.

The only positive thing you can say about your strategy is that maybeeee it would have delayed this happening, which seems like a reasonable argument until you recognize that is absolutely as far as that strategy can take you and no further because all holding an unsustainable explosive potential in harder accomplishes, past a certain point, is to increase the lethality of the explosion when it finally occurs.

The way you see the world, a perspective that sees the Palestinian Genocide as a distracting detail to US elections, is so fundamentally flawed that you and people that agree with you can never reach an effective majority coalition in U.S. politics by adhering to it, you will piss off and drive away too many people. That is just a fact, a fact born out by this past election.

It is time for your understanding of US politics to evolve, the plight of the Palestinian people isn’t a fucking detail to US politics and US voters understand that whether you are willing to or not.

That means 71% of non-Harris voters rejected her for reasons other than Gaza.

Do you not understand the concept of a plurality? facepalm

I am getting tired of explaining this, I am a white caucasian leftist born in the US, I voted for Kamala even though I had massive reservations about the genocide, the reason people like me were sounding the alarm is because we hadn’t lobotimized our ability to empathize with Palestinian americans, arab americans and Palestians themselves (also all the jews against this too!) and understood this was a catastrophic, losing strategy.

Gaza was not the reason she lost.

Actually, it was literally the largest reason she lost according to polling?

Damn all those centrists shouting down progressives sounding the alarm about the Palestinian Genocide in Gaza look really fucking pathetic right now, turns out it was a fire alarm that needed to be rung and centrist losers took the side of the fire rather than do it.

The Democratic Party needs to be burned down I am afraid.

I mean I think a lot of them WANT the economy to crash, but still…

It’s in free fall now.

fair, “clown” as in the study of physical comedy is genuinely hilarious

I am going to be honest, in my opinion in the last 10-15 years rich conservatives have ruined NYC.

There are cool people and cool stuff there but damn I feel like they have been systematically disempowered in favor of mindbendingly rich people to a hyperbolic degree. Same story as other cities in the US, but something about NYC believing by default it is the center of the world makes it more suceptible to getting scammed by the rich and their pathetic lackeys.

what a useless clown

I just really want to get drunk with her, it would be fucking hilarious I wish I lived in a universe where I could actually get wasted and be totally ridiculous with Nanny Ogg.

Is the appview part of Bluesky open source? If so why not? How does that not make saying “Bluesky is open source” an inaccurate statement, or at least an incomplete statement? Can somebody reasonably run their own relay while handling a realistic amount of data from interactions?

Also there’s bridgy so you can talk across Mastodon / bluesky by letting bridgy mirror posts and replies between the two networks

A bridge is something you build and maintain, requiring constant maintenance, that joins a place that is connected with a place that is not.

It doesn’t make any sense for the University or specific professors to officially host a fediverse community in the first place, it is the wrong system of governance and community ownership here. Something like a student club or independent association of professors and students should host fediverse communities that then become unofficially associated with the University and the University should be hands off unless something really egregious happens.

The only reason to create a fediverse server directly under the auspices of a University or under an official capacity for the University would be to use the fediverse server as a public communication tool (like how Universities and other institutions might use Twitter), which actually isn’t a bad idea but is totally separate from what people are suggesting here…

Not required to join the fediverse, only to host your own community yourself, which is NOT what scientists need to do (unless they want to).

No, aspects of the Bluesky system are open source. The moderation and filtering layer is effectively centralized, is specifically not clarified to leave open the possibility for monetization such as forcing ads on users, and even if you could theoretically run your own Bluesky network… it would never be a useful alternative to the Official Bubble maintained by the Bluesky corporation that you must submit to or be left out in the cold interacting with users only on alternate, small personal networks.
