So there is an area in China that is truly safe?

I think that maybe losing his job at fox news phased him more than he let on

Wow, the emerald mine heir that wants to go to mars is getting support from the ex-KGB agent with a penchant for poisoning. I honestly don’t know why I expected anything different

🤣

RIP Cohost

Totally unexpectable!!!

OOH

So that church that I heard was using its non-profit status to create an untaxable 32 billion dollar investment portfolio that got exposed for using 13 shell companies to hide the holdings from the public was a Mormon one! Who could have guessed!

So like, when was the last time someone said they needed to handle the “enemy within”?

Oh wait

I remember this from history class!

Telegrams billionaire founder claims that he is bankrolling the thing with his personal wealth. I’m pretty sure he also claimed at one point that the average user cost them $6 per year, or something along those lines.

1. Idiot proofing
2. Automation, integration and premade scripts and GUI tools for the use of tools such as wine and other pain point relief software
3. Idiot proofing
4. Decrease choice fatigue by decreasing the number of choices visible by default as much as possible (Ubuntu is an okay example/starting point in my opinion)
5. Make a one-stop-shop wiki or equivalent with the specific purpose of giving explanations to non Linux-savvy people

I think that the proliferation of software/app centers is a great development when it comes to package management. Guides should mention them as an option to install whatever packages are needed, as a lot of people are clearly afraid of terminals.

Which leads to the “more GUI tools” point, which I’m sure everyone knows by now.

Also, you know how Windows update is so aggressive with getting you to update? That’s for a reason.

They decreased it?? People always complain about max file sizes being too small.

Also, how is telegram able to offer 2 GB per file and 4 GB on premium? In comparison, that seems astronomical!

The opposite is true as well! Some people literally can’t read white text on a black background.

Including both light and dark mode is a matter of accessibility!

If you have arachnophobia then it’s understandable 😔

🥺 not the spiders

Me too!

I can block instances myself instance admins, thank you very much.

Ah yes, free trade, the thing that improved the economies of ex-communist countries after the USSRs collapse and is on the path to fixing almost every African nations poverty.

Ah yes, NATO, the “we will only call for (and maybe possibly do something to enforce) human rights if it’s convenient for us” alliance. And I’m sure all it’s member nations have squeaky clean track records when it comes to international politics.

We must ban anyone against these things! That’s dangerous extremist ideology

Isn’t that the basic political community/subreddit experience? If you go to truth social, I don’t think you’re gonna get many likes

Echo chambers, hmmmm

Related to several other replies: Why are you people looking at political discussions on the internet? Isn’t that quite depressing? I am subscribed to basically every popular community across instances excluding anything with the words “politics” and “news” in it’s name.

And I think some of you should try not subscribing to any news or politics as well, no matter your ideology. I’m starting to get concerned for some of the people on this platform.

Ooookkay,

what

Yes, basically every corporate social media site needs more moderators. A single person can barely moderate 200K users (cohost), so a platform with 900 million should probably have a trust and safety team larger than 30 or 60 (Durov didn’t confirm it).
