My feeling is that social networks can't be stupid enough to destroy all their own value by misleading users all the time, but I'm not sure what the % is where the elastic breaks. Are you ok with 5%? 50%? 90%?

the reason right wing pressure campaigns are so effective is that they are run by terrible people with no morals who will never, ever, stop the level of harassment and threats people have to deal with is not something anyone can handle - eventually you give in so they’ll leave you alone

Something doesn't look quite right in Starlink's "free" sign-up process for Hurricane Helene communities If you also have firsthand experience with setting up the $0 service in western North Carolina, please let @bvig.bsky.social or brandon.vigliarolo at theregister dot com know - please share

I'm increasingly convinced that the best gift you can give a hostile foreign intelligence service is to let your domestic security service build a mandatory national surveillance apparatus.

This has far more substance, more thinking, and more revelations about policy than that Dana Bash interview. The condescending sneer you see at the New York Times, Politico, WSJ, etc., that Harris is not sitting down to answer questions is not just obnoxious, but actively deceitful. It’s bullshit.
