  • In my view, it's a stop gap measure. The real issue is the lifetime appointments. We just had one president choose 3 justices, who all get lifetime appointments. That is beyond insane, and if packing the courts right now will help alleviate that imbalance I think it should be advocated for. Of course in the long term we will want term limits, or maybe some sort of rotation system, but for now I think that's the most politically effective way forward.

  • I'm conflicted because it doesn't have a headphone jack

  • Sheesh

  • This shit made me do a double take

  • This is not a good comparison. Our bodies are not engineered by anyone, but our software is.

  • Fediverse @kbin.social

    If ActivityPub can't survive Meta, it was never going to succeed in the first place

  • Copyright should not exist. However, under our current economic system, capitalism, it should exist for a short period of time. Probably about 5-10 years.

  • Bro what the fuck is going on right now lmao

  • facts

  • I honestly don't know if I believe any of this. It could be one big distraction, and I think the people in high positions of power are skeptical as well.

  • Agreed, we need to structurally reconfigure how we live our lives to fix this problem. Trying to get everyone to become "health concious" isn't gonna cut it, which is what they've been trying to do for years.

  • I mean I guess? Aside from the calling it's fine imo. UI was also easier for me to use

  • I never understood why everyone moved to discord. Regardless of this, it actually just sucks and is hard to use. Discord really gives me hope that the fediverse will succeed, just because the UI sucks so fucking much.

  • Bro's in a wheel chair and still vetoed it, damn

  • Honestly, a lot of people might disagree but, corporate involvement is essential to FOSS projects surviving. The biggest FOSS project on the planet, Linux, is literally propped up by the biggest corporations on the planet.

    The only potential issue I see here is maybe Meta forks ActivityPub and it becomes a "Meta Project" or some other fuckery. Outside of that I don't see any major issues with it. If we want ActivityPub to become something greater, we're going to need corporations on board. We have strong protections in place right now with a lot of the stuff that's being used being under strong copyleft licenses, and decentralization by nature is going to allow us to opt out of a lot of the ads and tracking that takes place by being forced to use an official app.

  • Wait, we haven't already done that?

    Don't be discouraged by people saying these protests don't work, or by subreddits going public
