Except the US isn't trying to make strong trading partners, its a side effect of the xenophobia and racism. If anything they are alienating anyone who would ever trade because every trade deal for something benign like, steel or whatever will include some random unrelated bull shit like "also if you want to trade you have to round up your trans people."

They mean good for everyone NOT the US. Because now say, Germany or France, or where ever, come off as a better place to immigrate, so other countries can build stronger more competitice businesses.

This move, like everything the MAGA administration does, will only weaken the US.

Even better for other countries, anyone the US produces who isn't a raging idiot, also are more likely to want to immigrate from the US.

If Bitwarden gets sold I am just going back to a paper notebook for passwords.

That should be the norm everywhere but one tribe's entire identity is being intolprant of people and things that ultimately have zero effect on them or anyone.

Yeah, except Twitter has no moderation anymore, in fact isnhas the opposite problem where people can pay to force their crappy views on everyone with blue checks.

Twitter isn't the problem, Musk is the problem. Twitter was fine until he took over. Bluesky is Twitter - Musk.

I don't know how people do it. I have been blogging for like 20+ years now sometimes regularly, sometimes with gaps. I am lucky if I get 5 visits per day.

It's going to depend entirely on the quality you are looking for. You don't have to go nuts like these people are talking about, you can store tons of movies in 4-10 TBs.

In addition to what the other commenter said, about Disney, I like to download Concerts and live tracks off Youtube, especially when they are early in the career of an artist I like, because you never know when the record company will try to memory hole that stuff and it becomes difficult/impossible to find.

Even with me and other like me, someone int he future has to happen upon someone who saved it, and is willing to share it, if you go looking.

In most cases, it's not an "arbitrary world view", it's "reality."

Yeah, instead of being trained on 4chan Nazis like Tay was, Grok is trained on Twitter Nazis.

Much better.

They basically all have substack newsletters, just move there

I think the problem os your perspective.

Its more like, "Everyone needs to do X so that everyone can BE safer."

The impression I get in some cases, is less that it's the best choice, but more that a lot of companies have decades of data or systems all inter operating with it, and migrating things to something modern would be a nightmare but they can't afford to lose the data.

Same here. some 600k+ Karma and like 13 years on the platform and I completely quit when Baconreader broke.

I added /r/gamedeals and /r/gamebundles and the Fortnite ststus bot to my RSS reader and that's all I follow at all now.

You clearly are not thinking like a level 4 manager who has a vague grasp of how the system works beyond "This costs $X per year, how can we make it $X-1 next year?"
