The republican party and adjacent is mostly white nationalists, what would make you think that they would switch to voting for a Jewish person? He would have unfortunately lost.

So they picked the worst possible option? That doesn’t even make sense. I doubt he would have won either at the time, even if he wasn’t sabotaged. Do you think the RNC wouldn’t have gone after him worse?

If you haven’t seen the documentary by his daughter Rashida Jones on Netflix, go watch it. I had no idea how much he was part of American culture.

I hope it works out, this is sorely needed.

This is great and what I was hoping the Fediverse would turn into.

I was just one person with an idea; an international village adopted it and helped it, making its message go wide.

I want to do this again, but with the Fediverse.

I could start with a 40 minute visual presentation for schools and organizations, demo it, and see where things go. The cool thing is that I’m fully fluent in English, Italian and French so I could do these presentations in 3 languages – wherever people would welcome me.

It’s not going to be easy. But it’s definitely going to be worth it.

Barak Ravid, an ex-Israeli spy turned Washington journalist, play a key role in shaping media coverage…

Does he?

Plus comcast and any phone company, specifically AT&T

I sent you one that I use probably everyday. It’s amazing how we make decisions that our brains try to help with, but gets messed up because they conflict. Your therapist should be able to help with more.

Imo, guilt and/or fear is holding you back from the industry. Forgive yourself and everything else about the past situation somehow. Every job has the potential to be different even in the same industry. There are a lot of books and techniques that help to process blame, guilt and fear. This and what everyone else is saying.

It already has taken tons of graphic jobs. Also look up Graphite by IBM, it’s advertising to companies to hire them to do their code. Which would be taking code jobs. I kind of think people don’t understand how it’s going to be taken as far as it can be taken by these corporations. If half the populace loses their jobs, they just don’t care. I really don’t get on who they think is going to be all of these products and services if no one has jobs, but their following quarter might be better.

Could someone explain what this means to non-techy people?

I’ve been hearing ads for AI writing code for companies, I bet that has something to do with this.

I’m guessing you do subscribed as well. I’ve also found it kind of nice to be able to leave and get on with my day. Reddit used to suck me in.

Are you checking for hot, 6 hours and 12 hours? I think it defaults to active which does make it seem, ironically, less active.

Thanks for letting me know that Qwant is Bing. It’s hard as a typical person to find any info on search engines, so I appreciate the heads up.

I think it depends on what you disagree with. If one is promoting going after our neighbors, hunting them down and killing them? Yeah, defederate. If another is Meta trying to take over the federation. Yeah, I vote defederate. If one thinks Hawaiian pizza is a travesty and the other doesn’t, hold your horses.

I’ve been noticing that they’ve been getting worse and worse myself. I was recommenced Mojeek and Qwant, but I haven’t made the switch yet. I always forget to use them instead.

Working there? Sometimes there’s no choice. Buying anything there? Definitely a choice.

This is Chicago, they’re not exactly known for a light touch when it comes to the police. Still not cool.

Pacheco — a freelance journalist who has worked with the New York Times, PBS, and Forbes — was one of at least three credentialed journalists arrested amid protests on the second day of the Democratic National Convention. Pacheco, who was carrying photography equipment with media credentials hanging around the neck, identified as a journalist to officers and displayed a press pass. An officer responded by snatching away their credentials. Pacheco spent the next nine hours in police custody. Also arrested in the same march were photojournalists Sinna Nasseri and Olga Federova, who were released by early Wednesday morning, according to social-media posts. Nasseri, whose photography has been featured in the New York Times and the New Yorker, wrote on Instagram that he was arrested while “documenting the protest tonight from a public sidewalk.” He shared video of himself standing in handcuffs next to several officers with his camera still hanging around his neck.
