  • as a democratic nation its probably a bad idea to allow a small number of businesses to control content distribution. Apps should be regulated based on their actions and practices, not national origin.

    disinformation does not become a good thing when produced domestically.


  • It takes a particular kind of brain rot to believe that people who don’t live in america, and don’t do the majority of their business in america, care more about influencing the american people than those who live in america and do the majority of their business in america.

    The ban is for the interests of politicians who want to stop the discorse happening on tiktok, and tech companies who want to run a shortform video site and have been unsuccessful in creating their own.

    If tiktok is doing what they are accused of, reasonable legislation would ban that practice. When the bill is written to try and let google or facebook buy a successful implementation of shortform video, you know you have an entirely corrupt government.


  • The settling of the “new world” is one of the few times in history that intentional spelling reforms actually took.

    Noah Webster published a dictionary with his preferred spellings, and because those dictionaries that disagreed were an ocean away, we spell things with less vowels and also we sometimes put our E’s and R’s in a different order.

    I think the diverging diamond interchange is terrible. Because of the crossover, traffic can only cross the interchange in one direction at a time, so most of the traffic in the interchange is not moving most of the time.

    A pair of roundabouts connected to on ramps eliminates the danger of left turns without stopping the majority of traffic most of the time.

    A massive overbuilt interchange that cannot function without traffic lights is the opposite of elegant.


  • Ublock origin’s website says to use ublock origin lite, which is a manifest v3 version that should continue to work albeit not as well.

    Some chromium based browsers will continue supporting v2 extensions. Chromium is said to continue v2 support until June 2025.

    Firefox is the best choice as they have no plans to drop the support ublock origin relies on.
