Boebert Blames Barbra Streisand And Ryan Reynolds For Making Her Run In Another District

Blame everyone else, typical MAGA.

I think we should push for #enshittification to be the Oxford Dictionary word of the year 2024...

"... the website loads in a special browser built into the app, rather than your phone’s default browser. In 2022, privacy researcher Felix Krause found that Meta injects special “keylogging” JavaScript onto the website you’re visiting that allows the company to monitor everything you type and tap on, including passwords. Other apps including TikTok do the same thing."

What the hell?? This is so creepy.

@freeformz @malcircuit @dahukanna Yes! 💯

Discourse is a wonderful open source forum software made by @codinghorror.

They have everything from the license of the software itself to the content produced with it figured out. The UX is immaculate.

The best part: “Discourse” is frequently misunderstood to be “Discord” already. Let’s lean into the misunderstanding and have it take over the world!

Discourse is the place to build civilized communities

Discourse is modern forum software for your community. Use it as a mailing list, discussion forum, long-form chat room, and more!

Discourse - Civilized Discussion

Can we just stop using Discord and go back to using forum sites?

I realize it's (comparatively) super easy to set up, but y'all realize it's just going to bite us all in the ass as soon as someone at Discord decides they need to turn up the profit ratio?

It's a ticking time bomb. The whole thing is going to follow the enshittification process, and anything of value on there is going to be lost/sold/destroyed.

1/3 Yes, your phone, smart TV, and Echo/Alexa, *are* listening to you, analyzing what you say, and sending data to anyone who will pay for the service. #Advertising is the least of the abuse potential.

Marketing Company Claims That It Actually Is Listening to Your Phone and Smart Speakers to Target Ads

“What would it mean for your business if you could target potential clients who are actively discussing their need for your services in their day-to-day conversations? No, it's not a Black Mirror episode—it's Voice Data, and CMG has the capabilities to use it to your business advantage.”

- Trump pretending that he's being "persecuted"
- Claiming that anyone who crosses him is "vermin"
- Praising insurrectionists as patriots & promising to pardon them
- A GOP that refuses to condemn any of this.

This is a deadly recipe for violence.
