It only took me 2 weeks but I finally have Discourse running in Azure

this is fucking hilarious lmao

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

I'm currently manually connecting to smtp.azurecomm.net via telnet to send an email. What has my life come to?

lol it was a null pointer

These are 2 political candidates who are _competing_ with one other!!

Note that the others included are Palantir and OpenAI execs...

It’s so crazy. I was told this was playing right into Trump’s hands!

It’s wild when the people who control the only feed most people see accuse us of being the echo chamber. People are scared and in pain—they deserve spaces to talk without top-down interference. That’s what we’re building.

Online behavioral advertising has made surveillance the business model of the internet. Privacy Badger fights for a better web by incentivizing companies to respect your privacy.

This only happens with ranked choice voting. It'll be interesting to watch candidates endorse one another (but still compete with each other!)

Polling roundup: Trump is underwater on 11 of 12 questions about immigration and the LA protests Polls show voters don't like mass deportations or the federal troops. At this point, Trump has moved policy solidly beyond what public opinion has sanctioned.

“Tesla’s driverless ‘robotaxis’ could launch in Austin as soon as June 22. But a demo in Austin today showed a $TSLA, manually driven to test its Full Self-Driving system, failed to stop for a child-sized dummy at a school bus—and hit it.” @cbsaustin @velez_tx

The fact that DHS is backpedaling like this pretty clear makes me think they think they fucked up.

Meta (worth $1.7 trillion) made a public feed of what people are creating with its AI tools and it's going as well as you might expect www.meta.ai#feed

wild — i posted last night that i wanted an atproto explorer that was like finder, and then mere hours later @edavis.dev drops this repoview.edavis.dev/at://dame.is

Another pro wrestler with better politics and a more clearly articulated moral stance than 99.9% of elected officials

The free-speech anti-cancel-culture people say you should boycott Walmart because the founder's daughter-in-law bought an ad www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I really hope we publish a writeup when we figure out how to do algorithms good because it has not been obvious and people need to know what we learn

Everyone I knew who covered disinformation got laid off, their bosses got bullied into firing them, or they changed their beats from actual Nazi harassment campaigns. It cannot be stressed the damage the paid-for Substack “free speech” guys did in the service of fascism and against real free speech.

SCOOP: Guardsmen deployed to LA aren't on formal orders, thus aren't set up to be paid or get healthcare yet www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Years ago, I made a tester account for this kind of thing. It is following only @NBA and nothing else. It has never posted or interacted with a single tweet. I just logged on to it. Here’s what the algorithm showed me as I scrolled for 30 seconds.

Zero hyperbole here And now, breaking news from r/SubredditDrama that reveals what looks very much like a concerted "protesters against ICE & cops kidnapping, beating, shooting, gassing & trampling their neighbors are the REAL violent ones" disinfo opp by Palantir www.reddit.com/r/SubredditD...

I’ve never forgotten this picture from 2016 and how it completely reshaped my understanding of how the media covers protests.

awww its little memory usage brontosauruses

All eyes are on the protests and Trump's response, but meanwhile Democrats won even more special elections last night. That continues a streak of overperformance for the party — and it's not *just* due to a huge turnout advantage. www.gelliottmorris.com/p/democrats-...

Morale must be sky high!

Honestly I thought Facebook and Twitter would turn this anti-feature off by now. I guess not. Growth at all costs!

Just in from DC Bar - labor attorney Diane Seltzer defeats securities attorney Brad Bondi in a closely watched race with record turnout.

New from 404 Media: here's our report on the aircraft circling above the LA protests. Local, state, DHS, military all flew. Left: aircraft from air base. Right: a distinctive high altitude/hexagonal flight pattern, looks like a Predator drone (it flew to border after) www.404media.co/dhs-black-ha...

1/4 I care and have an answer! The solution is challenging but straightforward: Bluesky reaches mainstream scale (>100M MAUs) and then employs a few "small" monetization strategies. This works because, at scale, even "small" ideas would add up to billions per year without any ethical compromise.
