The guy volunteered for it, knowing the risk, and calls it a luxury that he uses all the time and has helped him "reconnect with the world."

Don't let your justified hatred of musk blind you to reality.

It's shocking how bad their ui is. I don't get it.

When I first started on reddit many years ago, while it was clear some people didn't read the article, usually the top comment in the thread usually showed that they read the article, unless it was some kind joke. Over time it definitely got worse.

I was hoping when jumping to Lemmy that I would be able to recapture some of that magic.

Lemmy has a lot of good things going for it, but what I got in that regard is the top comment, with 100% upvotes, clearly not having read the article and spewing some unsubstantiated conspiratorial claims. It's like being in r/conspiracy sometimes.

Funny, just yesterday probably I was arguing with someone in another thread that was saying the people here don't actually think Boeing had these whistleblowers killed, it was just making "implications and jokes."

And here, very clearly, with a massive number of upvotes we have someone claiming that Boeing had them killed and that resulted in brave souls coming out afterward. lol

However, this also exposes another huge complaint I have with your typical lemmy-er (lemming? lemmite? what do you call a user of lemmy?): Almost no one reads the fucking article.

This isn't about new whistleblowers coming out, but their lawyer claiming he is afraid that current whistle blowers will be "scared away."

But, of course, what I've learned on reddit and even more so on lemmy is that the facts don't matter, only the narrative.

It doesn't sound that way. Can you explain how the specific change does that? Sounds like to me it's an option for women, and it's done in a way that limits how they can reach out first.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone uses multiple question marks at the end of a statement. I'm triggered right now and reporting you for harassment. Lol

There's no competing interests when it comes to protecting child from child sexual exploitation. When it comes to protecting them from guns, there is the competing interest of the second amendment.

And maybe even closer to the top of the 2010s.

We are talking about Drake here. I'm not a big fan, but he's one of the biggest musical artists of our time. . .and you are arguing his using AI for a single diss track is some kind of admission of having no talent? WTF? How does this nonsense have any upvotes?

No problem. I was more asking because I'm trying to figure out which to use next.
