the entire songs context is around the Battle of Baltimore which included 25 hours of naval bombardment. from the perspective of the ships where it was witnessed and given the volume of shells fired they assumed everyone would be dead.

basically no company wants the bad PR. If it had come out twitch would be known as the platform with pedos and parents wouldn't let their kids use it resulting in the platform becoming obsolete.

the swastika was originally a religious icon used and still used in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jianism, i wouldn't consider them Nazis... Context matters

State Senator Anthony Kern [photo], the bill’s sponsor, says the Ten Commandments shaped the country’s heritage. “Our history is the Ten Commandments,”

I'm guessing he's never read the Constitution?

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

would bet money he doesn't even know what the 10 commandments are

i reported it as doxing, looks like they're recording names and addresses. maybe those in the EU can raise gdpr concerns?

depends on the implementation, article states it's based off the acquisition of fakespot which is trained to detect scams and fake reviews. if it could be expanded to detect misinformation that could be a really helpful tool depending on how its configured and information is relayed to the end user.

Microsoft lawyer Rakesh Kilaru wrote that Microsoft was already considering layoffs before the merger.

Corporate gaslighting at it's finest. we planned to layoff ~1000 employees from the company we were acquiring before we agreed not to do that!

could be skimpflation. company's have been changing ingredients slowly to lower the cost of ingredients to save on cost. doing it very slowly over years they end up saving money and no one really notices the changes.

if you actually want to protect kids, this is the shit you form a posse to go protect right? for all the people worried about children this is where you would show up at the court and/or prison and demand their release?

i really hope you can clarify, are you saying genocide is justifiable to have cheap bananas?

before the Nazi party came to power, they would show up to rallys, protests and town squares to silence political opponents through intimidation and physical violence.
A lot of people would consider Twitter a modern day digital "Town square". i would say it's eerily similar, the main difference is that there's no physical violence just the silence.

imo its a bit different as they are using physical resources and then artificially limiting access. a better comparison would be getting a motherboard and having to pay extra to use some of the usb ports.

I think eventually there should be laws against wasting physical resources for monetary gain. if they want two models, make it such that they either don't meet manufacturing requirements and are hard disabled (similar to cpu yield) or produce one with and one without.
