That's really the entire article. "Yeah, for now its run by hippies who care about privacy and run servers out of a sense of civic duty, but we can fix that"
I think the main complaint isn't a quality question, it's that most people here don't trust Meta to act in good faith. There's a sense that they'll come in, make the fedivirse as dependent as possible, then pull out. Defederating on principle is more of an independence thing.
I agree with you for the quality thing, I rarely see mastodon here, there's no reason to think we'll be flooded with threads.
Imo this is firm "you can get away with it exactly once" territory. It's clever, so it should be rewarded. But after the once every lord will mysteriously have anti-shape shifting wards.
Agree with the first half, but unless I'm misunderstanding the type of AI being used, it really shouldn't make a difference how logically soud they are? It cares more about vibes and rhetoric then logic, besides I guess using words consistently
C-span has the line as "War in democracy", and tbh that's what I hear too. Context isn't much of a factor, it's just a generic Trump ramble:
For decades, you watched as a corrupt political class in our nation's capitol looted your money, trampled on your dignity and pushed their radical agenda into every aspect of your lives. You know it very well. But in 2016, you voted to stand up to those liars, losers, crooks and creeps, and you elected an outsider as your president. And it was about America first. We want to put our country first. They haven't done that in a long time, but we did it for four years and that's why we did so well. That's why it was one of the great presidencies, they say. Even the opponents sometimes say that he did very well, I have to say, "Take it back," his people scream. His people say "Take it back." From that day on our opponents, and we had a lot of opponents, but we've been waging an all-out war in (on?) American democracy. You look at what they've been doing, and becoming more and more extreme and repressive. They have just waged an all-out war with each passing day.
You know, I was starting to think they were milking the resolution for Tendi's arc. Like, we found out 4 episodes ago, then they brought it up last episode, now it's a plot point again; you can't stretch out the climax that long.
But it turns out we're still in the rising action, this was just a stepping stone. I love this show.
For me it was funny, but only because it kept subverting my expectations. Everytime they gave the "2 hours later" board, I expected it to me chaos, but it was just sweet. And they got me every time.
I had a dm who would tell us to roll. And then say "you fail" before hearing the number
