There's a pretty big movement away from github, especially recently. Renewed (rightful) distrust of Microsoft is the big reason.

So how about you provide any amount of evidence before spouting your bullshit

Of course not, because there isn't any

As I understand it, vapes are in theory not as bad, however the significant increase nicotine consumption far offsets any of that.

Where did I claim otherwise

Oh I'm a big hypocrite in the smoking regard. I smoke weed fairly regularly, and will occasionally vape for the first bit of a T break.

Twitter Sues Hate-Speech Research Group Over Claims That Hateful, Racist Content Has Proliferated Under Musk’s Ownership (variety.com)

Twitter filed a lawsuit against the Center for Countering Digital Hate. “Despite our continued progress, the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) and its backers have been actively working to assert false and misleading claims encouraging advertisers to pause investment on the platform.

Just to add more emphasis, they'll happily send it because they often just as (if not significantly more) pissed at the systems in place to keep academic papers out of public circulation so corporations can pocket the money.

They outright said in their own press release it's primarily to increase ad visibility by breaking ad blockers.

Ticketmaster's real service is being the bad guy to take the heat off venue's and artists

I should have been more clear. I was referring to the service that TM provides to said venues and artists. Obviously they don't really provide a real service for consumers

IIRC this was a study (survey?) done by a American company.

There are tons of UFO sighting in plenty of non-NA or EU countries such as Brazil and South Africa

You tend to get less reports of things in areas with much, much lower population densities. The map is as much a population density map as it is a UFO sighting one

Absolutely. It's not a huge difference for most the movie, but the really big moments were something special.

I have no doubt that had they not been dropped on Japan, they would have been used in Korea. All the theory in the world wouldn't be enough to instill the rightful existential terror nukes cause.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Continued firebombing (which absolutely would not have stopped, and would've increased in intensity) alone would have killed far more than the bombs did.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

That as well.

Whether dropping the bomb was morally right is sort of irrelevant. It was almost certainly going to be used, and it's better it was the early ones than later ones. Just not in human nature to understand the consequences until our noses are rubbed in it

They've needed to be broken up for over a decade now, but that'd require the government to actually enforce antitrust/monopoly laws

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

Yup. It's the first FTC in a long time that's even tried to do their job. Really hoping they have success.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

The fact that they have that much of a monopoly is exactly why it isn't legal, but those laws are basically never enforced

Considering that 8% only starts at one million times average household wealth, I've gotta say who the fuck cares. There is no justifiable reason for any singular person to have that much wealth. Not one.

Do people just not use the YouTube subscription feed?

I consistently hear people on YouTube complain that the subscribe button doesn’t do anything for viewers, now that channel notifications are controlled by the bell. But it does do something: it puts the videos from that channel in your subscription feed, which is readily accessible on all versions of YouTube. So why do people...

About the shorts part, IIRC at first it didn't separate them, so they were intermingled. That was a pretty big pain in the ass.

Now that they just have their own section, I fully agree.

My only concern is the part regarding AC. I fear they're just going to buy multiple years worth of vehicles prior to when the change goes into effect, and hold off on buying new as long as they can.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

As far as I can tell, it's vehicles purchased after 1/1/24. They can purchase them for however long in advance as they'd like.

Alto ,
@Alto@kbin.social avatar

You don't think it's common for things like bulk vehicle purchases to be decided years in advance?

I'd imagine it's mostly young people who haven't lived through any natural price increases yet.

If the price increase was following inflation, it'd be up to $13.99. You're still effectively paying less than you were in 2011.
