>full-screening it is a terrible experience

The extra bar from the mouse-over is kind of silly but, a TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE?

Yes, it should be fixed though.

I was a family subscriber for 15 a month. Then they bumped the family plan up to $23 or something like that.

ChromeOS is only in the market because they have cheap laptops that schools bought up. And not a single student I know would ever use one outside of school.

This abstract talks a bit about tardigrades DNA repair and radiation damage avoidance, and possibilities of gene identification.

Of course. I was wondering how eating less could cause death. That "academy" is sponsored by Wendy's and Coca-cola.

   The organization also publishes nutrition facts sheets   for the general public, which food companies pay $20,000 to   take part in writing the documents.[77] A list of these   publications for the general public include:

   What's a Mom to Do: Healthy Eating Tips for Families sponsored by Wendy's.[78]
  Lamb: The Essence of Nutrient Rich Flavor sponsored by the Tri-Lamb Group.[79]
  Cocoa and Chocolate: Sweet News! sponsored by the Hershey Center for Health and Nutrition.[80]
  Eggs: A Good Choice for Moms-to-Be sponsored by the American Egg Board.[81]
  Adult Beverage Consumption: Making Responsible Drinking Choices sponsored by the Distilled Spirits Council.[82]

  This industry funding also gives food companies the ability to offer official educational seminars to teach   dietitians how to advise their clients in a way that advances the interests of the food company. For instance, in a   Coca-Cola sponsored seminar for dietitians, the speaker promoted free sugars consumption for children as a healthy   choice.[83]"

Why would your server get banned though? It's not going to happen to moderated servers. If you pick some small, weird, or insurrection aligned server, that might be an issue. Otherwise, you're just stressing out about something that won't happen.

you dont need to pick a small server like that man. that's what he's saying.

All servers can communicate. You're not locked into servers. This isnt an MMO... infosec.exchange, the one I use, isnt an exclusive thing. It basically just shows my name as: [email protected].

I can see and talk to mastodon.social. I can use hashtags and people from other servers will see it just like twitter.

The server you pick is just a name and a local server. If you pick a server that's dying, just move to the next one. You keep everything, it just changes from:

[email protected] to [email protected]. You wont lose the friends, just the host name changes.

Mastodon, regardless of your server, can see and connect to everyone in the federation. The servers are just for how your name appears, local and moderation rules.

infosec.exchange can talk to and see content in mastodon.social

Not so sure about that amazon basics ranking. Pretty sure they are the same thing as a normal Duracell

This is a horrible way of thinking. It's always good that "the others" are getting banned with no recourse, up until the point that YOU get banned with no recourse.

I know, because it happened to me, and it will happen to you, too. Eventually, you'll have a "hot take" on a topic against the hive mind of whatever media you use, and you're done.

If media companies allow public access to their services, they MUST become public spaces, and/or public services. TOS be damned.

If they want to restrict users when they sign up (just an example) "you must be liberal or conservative," fine. They are preemptively limiting their customers to certain conversations. But if they allow everyone in, you cannot mute one set of people.

On that note, any VC's needing a CEO to start a new company when this guy goes to the feds, HMU.

This headline is clickbait. Zuck said the FBI warned him of potential Russian propaganda during the election. Then, Zuck and his crew slowed down the spread until it was validated.

This entire discussion here is based on a false narrative, it goes off into rants of political discourse that were not true in regards to this story.

The only reason it was censored is because it fit a profile of what was expected to come. Almost all the conjecture from headline readers is covered in the podcast.

The conclusion is, if you want raw data, you can find it. 4chan is right there is you seek it. But big social media sites are not the wild-west everyone THINKS they want.
