California is stepping up in a big way on an issue critical for all Americans right now. Hopefully we soon see other states follow suit, and perhaps one day, the Federal government.

There are Two Americas
YouTube video by Senator Bernie Sanders There are Two Americas

We are witnessing the rise of two very separate and distinct Americas:

One for the billionaire class. One for everybody else.

Our country is not supposed to be run by a handful of wealthy oligarchs while a majority of people struggle to afford the basic necessities.

To clarify, Engineering may be responsible for the solution but Product is ultimately accountable and needs to be involved. Have you been on a team operating with complete separation? I've never seen that and agree it sounds like a nightmare.

@spavel.bsky.social - As a Product Manager, we should own the problems to be solved (sizing, cost of delay analysis, prioritizing), while engineering owns solutions. It always bugs me when I see product people operating as you've described.

The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem Meta pirated millions of books to train its AI. Search through them here.

"If we license one single book, we won't be able to lean into fair use strategy" - Meta Director of Eng.

The lack of ethics is staggering but highlights why Meta, Amazon, etc. are in bed with the administration. Was a 4yr pass of no regulatory oversight for sale? www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

True colors shown. Does anyone know why you can't trade-in a Pixel 9 on Apple's site yet? It's only allowable up to the Pixel 7. FYI @nancylevinestearns.bsky.social

Hard to see past what's unfolding in front of us to consider the unknown. Hope whatever it is, it's incredible and good.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked β€œDisallow.”

The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

Great points. I guess it's a matter of picking your poison? Hoping more orgs like @bsky.app are established, as I'm through with deciding based on the least evil option.

I wonder if this quote served as inspiration for the Wilco lyric, "You were right about the stars, each one is a setting sun."

These screens were captured around the same time yesterday on Instagram. Even if there was a legitimate reason for this, it certainly doesn't look great.

Exactly why @bsky.app is so important. Engaging on this platform is important. As is growing this platform.

Which one of these men joins Tom Anderson and MySoace in the annals of history first ?

Their greed is our opportunity.
