  • Behind the Scenes of Justice Alito’s Unprecedented Wall Street Journal Pre-buttal

    Jump

  • This reporting is so refreshing, I hope the reporters are rewarded for the effort and Alito carries this stain, along with the rest of the festering collection at SCOTUS.

    We have a captured, illegitimate top court. Each day the US proceeds with this charade only extends this dark era that history will look back on with disgust.

  • Learn from Reddit, don't give corporations the power to do so and they can't inevitably abuse that power.

  • Invent the problem, then sell the solution.

    Just fix search that you intentionally broke so that it returns all relevant results, inhumane cowards.

  • Look around and realize how you got here to Lemmy/kbin/beehaw/etc - you were betrayed by a few VC-captured executives that made profit-blinded, consumer-hostile decisions about an important product you used frequently. They ruined it.

    Anyone here defending digital media or saying it's not that bad or they should have done a digital lending system, you're not remembering the recent past.

    The only acceptable ground to give here is NONE. Physical media needs to start mandatory, or your purchases are never owned and you're always at risk and at the whims of someone like Spez.

    You can attempt to spin all you'd like, but people can read your comments and draw their own conclusions.

  • I think this is a drawback of not having more specialized communities in beehaw yet - I'm not sure if this advice is very niche advice or if it has some value in general awareness for the layperson?

    Normally I'd look up and see "r/DevChat" or some such distinct community name and have immediate context of, "that's not really for you to figure out". But this is essentially "r/technology" so I'm left wondering if I personally can take anything of value from this post.

    Not a criticism or complaint, just an observation.

  • Also, remember the threat that Reddit presented to capitalism's status quo around the height of antiwork and GME.

    If Reddit falls, it will be on purpose (by the people running/funding Reddit. Same as the 180 of Twitter as a somewhat legitimate forum - Twitter being a key organizing tool during the Arab Spring (with the Saudis being the largest investor in Twitter behind elon of course).

  • Biden to sign executive order expanding access to contraception

    Jump

  • No... I was obviously referring to you providing no support of your claim that this will have little/no impact. As others have rightly pointed out, this will impact about 100 million Americans for the next year+ at least. An EO is permission for government workers to do more. It's guidance for regulatory agencies and lawyers to show teeth with the full support of the white house. It does mean something, it's also not a magic pen and paper. But many are better off four-day than they were yesterday and hopefully that increases with time.

    Nobody claimed this was the one single and final fix for every one of the ills of society, but that seems to be the strawman you're responding to.

  • You're purposefully trying to downplay impact without any factual support. It's harder to take away benefits from people than it is to give them. Let the next R president (that of course won't win the popular vote) try to remove access and take that L with the centrist suburban swing state female voters that often influence elections.

    This isn't an end all be all solution, but it's FAR from a meaningless gesture.

  • If you're going to ever say, "yeah, we know..." you should take a moment to acknowledge that was the exact strategy of bombarding the public with a constant stream of scandal, crime and controversy - to numb you to real issues like this, worth actual outrage and attention.

    I know it's overwhelming, I feel it too, but I work to not indulge that feeling when I can avoid it. Glad you came back a second time and read the article.

  • He didn't just "put out his own statement". Propublica reached out to him for comment on this article, he didn't respond and then he scrambled to have an op-ed published in the Wall Street Journal hours later (always worth saying that that is a Rupert Murdoch owned company). It was a poor attempt at damage control by a weasel trying to get ahead on spinning the narrative.
