How much is that as a percentage of the average monthly income, would you say?

That is the most Brexit thing I’ve ever heard. The audacity to complain about the Spanish in your country while the British loudly and palely swarm Spain every summer.

Sounds like an invitation to set up a new power company - I’m not sure how expensive electricity is in India but solar farms in rural areas are generally a good thing.

Just do it. People are so numbed to the idea of their data being sold that you’re probably not going to get much money out of it.

Sounds like a libertarian paradise. Be extremely comfortable as long as you’re part of a certain 5% of the population.

Honestly, being willing to jump to a new platform is possibly the most effective way to stop platforms from fucking you over too hard.

And most importantly - there isn’t millions of dollars spent to market it to people. You have to go out of your way to learn about Mastodon or federation in general, and as you say, their reputations precede them.

The Amazon reviews thing I assume is referring to Fakespot, which Mozilla bought some time ago.

But I’m confused about their “AI’ed it up” comment because from the very beginning Fakespot was using ML to determine the tone of reviews and whether or not they were lying about the product/paid reviews by the seller.

True and true.

Biden’s forgiven the loans that he has the power to forgive. Judges and the House have blocked most of his loan forgiveness moves.

If we can allocate billions of dollars to Israel, we can certainly forgive some of Ukraine’s loans.

You really haven’t thought this through. What happens if I email you a bunch of illegal pictures? Guess we’re both going to jail.

Pretty sure those are either already dead, or guarding Vlad.

The good old Nazi Germany plan - get your rich cronies to pay for everything and assure everyone that the spoils of war will more than pay them back.

That’s just because they live in the 21st century.

If it costs the NYT money and buys the workers some bargaining power, I’m all for it.

shrug Where I live, cars feel (and know) that they’re invincible and likely to suffer no punishment if they kill someone.

Drivers like to think that they can do no wrong all the time, not just when it suits their purpose.

This might be survivorship bias. If you get hit by a cyclist, you might - worst case Ontario - break a limb or something if they send you flying into something else. If you get hit by a driver, you are definitely going to break something and you will most likely die.

As for how likely it is that you actually get hit - do you think it’s easier to avoid a 2’ x 6’ object moving at 15 mph or a 8’ x 16’ object moving at 45 mph?
