@mander.xyzHarris says she would appoint a Republican to her Cabinet if elected
this is the title of the article
Anyone who watched the interview understands that the title you wrote (or maybe they updated it?) is bullshit. Not ruling something out is not a pledge, geez.
It was a reference to tropic thunder...which would have been funny (but not much, he's supposed to represent people like Harvey Weinstein) if it did not represent some miserable snotty billionaire shitting on a union of 27 countries.
I would have banned twitter on principle just like we recall embassadors from openly hostile countries. But well-meaning technocrats are too soft on oligarchs, they only see the damage when it is already too late.
Twitter's format feels a bit like yelling into the void and waiting for replies...you may luck out and get some engagement from a hub or a small subgraph of the network. Mastodon makes that stronger by removing the algorithm (I'd like there to be a user-customizable feed sort algo by an array of parameters, not sure what the technical limitations to that are: processing, security?)
Comment trees feel better (to me at least), because there is a hierarchical origin, a native indexing by topic>post>comment>countercomment...it sort of resembles how we relate with the world or navigate maps.
e.g.? you can say that about any government.
I just want elon to deal with the consequences of acting like "we'll coup whoever we want" as he posted before.
We'll see how it goes in the EU and the UK (and the US). If twitter keeps promoting openly unambiguously nazi content, there are laws to deal with that. Brazil just did it sooner because elon boosted the guys questioning electoral results of a very contested election without any evidence.
Yea, same for the mess with Crowdstrike, there are few failsafes (some plces sorted things in paper), the most important being whatever social goodwill there is between people stick it out and figure the problem out.
