Elon Musk’s X Still Down in Brazil After Company Sends $5.2 Million Fine to Wrong Bank
  • Usually the process is:

    1. Go to SA bank. Be very clear about all of the data fields that my bank is asking me, and ask them to tell me EXACTLY what to enter. Get assurance that anything is fine.
    2. Send transfer
    3. Get transfer back to my bank
    4. Call my bank and ask what went wrong. They blame SA bank
    5. Call SA bank and ask what went wrong. They blame other bank and tell me that something they told me was wrong, and maybe I should try changing X from Y.
    6. GOTO 2 about 4 more times until it finally goes through.
  • TikTok’s parent launched a web scraper that’s gobbling up the world’s online data 25-times faster than OpenAI
  • This is fine. I support archiving the Internet.

    It kinda drives me crazy how normalized anti-scraping rhetoric is. There is nothing wrong with (rate limited) scraping

    The only bots we need to worry about are the ones that POST, not the ones that GET

  • Jill Stein paid $100,000 to a Republican consulting firm led by a suspected January 6 rioter
  • Just because you like to have strange body modifications doesn't mean you should demand that others make the same strange body modifications to their bodies.

    Also, do you realize how much it costs to run a US presidential campaign? Certainly his competition is spending more than his net worth by at least 2 magnitudes

  • Why I ditched Twitter for Bluesky - and hope you will, too!
  • I want to be able to search for a URL and see what others have said about it. This is important for assessing credibility.

    Its absolutely necessary in an age of disinformation

    Obviously I shouldn't be able to read posts that are marked as "private" (eg only visible to people I follow), but the default "public" toots should be searchable. And not just site-wide, but fediverse-wide.

  • What's your pet peeve when it comes to tropes? What bothers you when you see it in a show or a movie?
  • Omg the Thanos thing drives me CRAZY and I don't know why everyone else just gives it a pass.

    There was no attempt at diplomacy with Thanos. If they just had a few diplomats talk about their needs, Thanos would have realized pretty quick that killing half of the humans wouldn't be the best way to obtain his goal.

    Here's the proposition: how about you snap your fingers and make 99% of the population of overpopulated species sterile?

    It would be wayyy more effective at meeting Thanos' goal (of reducing suffering caused by overpopulation) and literally nobody has to die!
