You’re gonna make me cry.

Couldn’t happen to a better bunch.

I think you’re mostly right but there’s a host of nuance and legalese that muddies this up. Social media is always in a conflicted relationship with speech, wanting to have no culpability over what’s posted while also making decisions over what to feature/restrict/etc. They’re actually really cautious to not position themselves as the “town square” for that reason since it does channel a sort of legal definition of such.

I promise I’m not trying to make fun of you but this sounds a bit like a suburban person’s perception of the city rather than what the city is actually like. None of this is more common on a subway than anywhere else.

Yeah, because there’s zero investment in transit. We literally don’t have the resources to make a bunch of EV cars so we’re gonna have to invest in transit one way or another.

Stupid idea that’s clearly motivated by the city’s deference to their tech gentry. Self driving anything has too many questions and issues still. I’m also not inclined to table “well what about the problems with people driving?” That only tells me we need transit, not robo taxis.

Having had to work in removing CSAM from a hosting provider, it just feels extra insulting when idiots say things are “for the kids”. Between that, and the likelihood of all these companies holding your driver license and subsequently leaking it online in a hack, I just can’t wrap my head around it on any level.

That said, I suspect it’s untenable to apply this to smaller orgs like the fediverse anyway so I don’t see the rubber hitting the road over here.

Drives me nuts that people do this garbage “for the kids” while doing nothing to support the groups working to stop actual child abuse. Go support NCMEC or something instead of being worried a child might Google “gay”.

He’s been fixated on X for so long and everyone’s told him items a dumb idea. He’s finally in a situation where no one will tell him no.

You just gotta stop listening to podcasts in Spotify. They’re hands down the worst listening experience for them.

Super sad to read that his wife is pregnant with their first child and he was just super excited about that.

Having a lot of troubles with viewing content in any of the instances. Unfortunate since things are looking a lil’ bleak on YouTube as a whole.
