I paid for YouTube Premium and still got ads, though fewer. So I cancelled. Are they now offering YT Premium ad free?

Interesting. If you can DM me the username and email associated with the account, I can look into this and get it fixed for her.

I feel like you’re underestimating the power of SV moving fast and breaking things to learn quickly. Your attitude is why we’ve stopped hiring SMEs and PhDs in my underwater space launch / space elevator bio startup.

Well where else am I supposed to socialize with fellow cybertruck owners?

> Many Americans exist that do not carry the opinion of their government, as do many Russians.

I can’t speak for Russia because I have no data, but most Americans don’t carry the opinion of this government.

I would definitely buy an iPad Pro that had regular MacOS on it like a MacBook. Otherwise I have had an iPad for about ten years and it’s been collecting dust for about 9.5 (will sell a cheap iPad 1, DM me!).

This sort of project reminds me of the old internet. I love it.

18f was self funded by billing agencies for cost savings, basically. It was basically free for the gov, and made up of highly technical people, many of whom came from top flight Silicon Valley or SV-adjacent companies. That is to say, neither cost nor technical skill nor efficiency were issues for 18f, which means that this wasn’t axed because of their cost…

For the most part you have exactly the same levers to pull at people in the United States, sans voting in elections, but most Americans don’t even do that, and some specific things that require a physical presence, like protesting at the White House specifically.

Setting aside that you can do things about this and effect change, caring about something isn’t the same as being able to affect that thing, so your reasoning “people outside the US don’t care because they can’t do anything about it” is a bit off.

If you don’t care because you’re outside the US, you’re a fool. All of this will affect you.

> Calm down...You're behaving in a histrionic way.

This sort of condescension is characteristic of people who hold the opinions you do. The rest of your post is complete nonsense.

“Bozo” is pretty lightweight for someone actively trying to destroy the foundations of this country’s government and democratic policies.

If the article was compellingly written I guess I would have gotten to it. But the author is a bad writer and uses tricks reminiscent of “read this list, item #9 will shock you!”

No thanks.

I opened another article someone posted by the same author and now that I know they write like this, u couldn’t make it through the first paragraph. Absolute trash.

Maybe, but I disengaged partway through (right after “I’m not going to bury the lede” and seeing there was a bunch more engagement filler immediately after, burying the lede). I will not read prose written like this.
