The secret lives of Facebook moderators in America "I’m fucked up."

I want everyone to read this:

The cost of community moderation. Read this and realize BlueSky expects **us** to moderate.

For free.

This is real.

Scenes from the best programmer I know tries to install any working OS on her most reliable piece of hardware:

"OmniOS is the only real contender here imo but Tribblix has a huge advantage, it crashes without requiring a full OS install!"

I’ve been sitting on a take that’s basically β€œthe fact that Aveta had to do this should’ve given everyone pause.”

How do you have two intentional attempts to diversify the Skyline fail and still not acknowledge that you have a whiteness problem?

Bluesky’s growing pains strain its relationship with Black users Bluesky is facing increased pressure to crack down on hateful and violent rhetoric, even though robust moderation conflicts with its decentralized goals.

"What happened?"

This sums it up.

For the Atlantic? They basically can. But that's not enough to know for certain. This Twitter thread does a good job explaining: https://twitter.com/BrynnTannehill/status/1672241886495375361

The Who-Cares-If-You’re-Innocent Project Republicans want to blame the rise in crime on liberal permissiveness, which includes, in their view, the right to counsel.

The right wing justices ideological priority is that the system function uninterrupted regardless of the guilt of the convicted, unless the guilty are political or economic elites. Fine for the wheels of justice to crush the innocent as long as they keep turning.

They did tell. That's part of why they zeroed in on a specific search area.

Also, they weren't certain it was the sub exploding. Decently sure but not enough to say definitively. With the location of the debris field though they can now know what they thought they heard is what they actually heard

As far as deaths go, it doesn't seem that bad, because there's no time to contemplate and it happens so quickly you neither realize it is happening nor even feel pain.

A brain implant changed her life. Then it was removed against her will. Her case highlights why we need to enshrine neuro rights in law.

This brain implant changed a woman's life. Then the company that made the implant went under & the implant was removed against her will. This is the grim meathook future we were promised and I hate it.
