Absolutely

And I love that a few people have learned this about me.
One even once told me “Long enough for your earbuds.” It was the best answer I’d ever gotten to that question.

That’s true, I didn’t use the word wrong, I only implied it.
Sorry for the confusion.

Yes that’s all true. But it’s a seperate problem that’s happening anyway, 230 or otherwise.

Yes that’s why repealing is the wrong thing to do.
As I said amend it.

The Fediverse doesn’t have any black box algorithms that recommend content. With the flat repeal of 230 it would be in danger. With my amendment it wouldn’t.

I don’t know it for a fact, I just know it’s true, that Google collects and logs every byte of data that goes through its servers.

I never mentioned repeal and replace.
As I said, don’t repeal it, amend it.

Those who are harmed decide. 230 is about protecting companies from law suits filed by users.

The whole “end of free speech” issue comes not so much from the government sensor really (that’s still firmly restricted by the first amendment) but from companies themselves banning any content or accounts that might get them sued.

But if that risk is limited only to what they recommend outside a user’s direct boolean search and filters, they can still host content without concern. But they need to be sure they know and approve exactly what their algorithms are pushing onto people.

What crisis did capitalism have in the 60s & 70s?
I’ve never heard of that before.

As far as I know that was the best years this country has known. Top tax rates were ~90%. The middle class was larger and more prosperous than anytime before or since. We were making huge strides in science and tech, as well as social progress.

But the greedy NeoLiberals fealt that while things were good and getting better for almost everyone, they were being held back by all the taxes and regulations that helped the unworthy “poors” at their expense.

Section 230 doesn’t need to be repealed, it only needs to be amended.

It basically says that online platforms can’t be held liable for the content their users post.

However that was put in place before black box algorithms were put in charge of peoples feeds, and literally hacking our brains to keep us outraged, afraid, and engaged.

It needs to be amended to hold companies liable for content their algorithms recommend to people. It’s one thing to allow people to post whatever they want. That needs to preserved. But if a site "recommends " something that’s harmful, they should be held responsible for that recommendation.

Pssh… I guess. If you like your movies “good”

I recently discovered ReviOS. I just did a clean re-install of Windows with it. And its been great for the last few days. No dumb bloatware or spyware. Though not so privacy crazy as to break things. Supposedly it’s changes can’t be rolled back with updates due to the techniques they use. We’ll see

The why is obvious.
The how will be much more interesting.

You need a better theater.

And you realise you chose to buy that stuff, right?
Do you need popcorn and candy?
When I was growing up, and even into adult hood, never bought theater food. Not until I found a theater that has real meals and and their own craft beers.

As a finical instrument for investing it’s fine. Makes total sense to have some of your money in gold.
As you describe, being a part of a prepping plan for the end of the world. It’s really dumb, and a total scam.

Install has gone fine.
Having trouble getting OpenRGB working. Might just have to turn off lights in BIOS for now.

And I’m also a hobby photog. Lightroom and Photoshop. I’ve tried Darktable and GIMP on Windows before. As much as I complain about Adobe, they’re still miles ahead of the OSS alternatives.

It makes sense to start a PR war over it, trying to fix HDMIs open source policy.

Both HDMI and display port are at their core, data cables. As long as the noise is low enough to maintain bandwidth, it’ll be fine. The cables them selves don’t have any intelligence to determine one feature over another.

Length matters. Off the top of my head I think the spec is for 16’ max. If you’re dasy changing a pair of 10’+ cables on an adapter like that, you might run into problems.

That one I linked does HDMI 2.1
I haven’t seen any that claim 2.2

There are also cables with DisplayPort on one end and HDMI on the other. No seperate adapter

I’m not sure why people are so upset.
It’s a little annoying sure, but don’t these work?
