Newsweek was unable to independently verify at the time of publication whether the people on the boat were from the antifa movement.

Oh, fuck off. I'm unable to independently verify whether the people on the boat were Newsweek employees.

Well they're still blowing up kids with these things so idk if it's the most brilliant targeting technique

I recall this recent quote from him at Bedminster when asked about his campaign strategy: "All I have to do is define her as a Communist or a Socialist or say she will destroy America."

I think there's different meanings in different contexts. You don't want to be the "creepy weirdo" kind of weird, but then there are people who are into weird art or have weird kinks and they are great

Win or lose, I'm not worried about how it looks in hindsight. The way I see it is we're doing the best we can with the information we have at this time. It wasn't looking good for him.

The effects of this change will also be much bigger than this election alone. It's a jump-start in rebuilding the identity of the party into something that might actually interest voters.

Maybe in the distant pre-cloud past, when sysadmins were still a thing, you'd expect a bigger staff to be needed to manage a bigger datacenter.

But a few devs who know how to spin up a thing with auto-scaling can accomplish a lot

It seems like such a lazy non-solution. Essentially telling shooters "Hey, from now on, you can only use ALL THE OTHER GUNS" as if that solves something.

Wonder what the percent of AI datasets being propaganda is

I don't think Steam supports any sort of sliding scale system and they have a price parity rule which would be broken by offering it elsewhere

I think these are fair points. and I can't say I blame anyone for wanting Meta/FB out of their life entirely. I see value in both options - the option of having maximum connectivity to others, and the option of having only parties that are considered to be in good ethical standing. And I'm glad the fediverse can offer both options to everyone. For me personally, having communications cut between users based on who is hosting their instance is a last resort.
