the bill doesn’t include “broader reforms proposed by Democrats, including preventing U.S. citizens from being detained or deported and preventing non-ICE personnel from conducting interior enforcement.

The bare minimum isn’t included and they’ll still vote for it. I’d like to congratulate Hakeem Jefferies on his performance as “leader” it almost looked like it was his real job

WTF? They are just collaborating at this point.

“Intellectuals”

A better question is what do you think is missing from the distribution you are currently using?

Sorry. What am I supposed to be doing?

Co-op is just donation model with voting rights. Like a community non-profit organisation

Sure http://piefed.influercercancer.social/ could decide to have paid content but that’s their decision. Any other instance can de-federate from them as easily as they can a Nazi instance

And I’ll add Lemmy/Piefed, actually the whole fediverse, should be run by co-operatives. I’m on Aussie.zone for nothing I add nothing to the instance I’m just a drain on resources. I should pay a yearly fee to be part of the community and should at the very least meta moderate. Like slashdot Uwe to do whereafter a period of time you got to review moderator choices and agree or disagree with the decision. Which based on criteria would the. Allow you to first person moderate.

In short:

• contribute to costs.
• moderate the moderators
• moderate

I have sympathy for the moderators but not a lot. The should have unionised and demanded a salary a long time ago.

Whenever I see these two in a picture in my feed I know some pusillanimous bullshit is going down in the Democratic Party without even reading the headline or article

If people hadn’t left already after Musk’s takeover they are never going to leave.

I wish this had been posted yesterday. I could have made som many Microsoft 365 Corprolite app jokes

Oh if only that were true

Explains all the sharp pointy things here

Once you’ve been searching on the internet for a fact, you’ll never stop wanting to beat every AI tech bro to death with your bare hands.

I wonder. If there are actual nefarious motives for the AI nonsense or whether it was just a bunch of rich CEOs being convinced they could be richer by a conman hoping to join their circle. Either way the nightmare won’t end until they do, financially, physically whatever.

LOL! OK sure.

I have more than 20 years experience. I’ve never once not gotten the “can we do it without refactoring?” question. Bad managers? Not necessarily, the pressure always comes from above. Short term thinking always wins out in the for profit private sector.

and the response will invariably be: “Is there a way we can just ship feature x now and fix up the other stuff after?”

There’s this, the Venezuelan assassinations, the whole Gaza situation, Ukraine. One good thing Trump has done is mask off the US hegemony.

There is a single rule that ALL politicians should live by. Don’t give your friend power that you would give your worst enemy. So many nations have failed or are failing this rule
