@chancerydaily Well, the question is really, do you want to know? Because I could give you a plausible reason (and it's nowhere close to what you gave), but it's nowhere near as much fun
@thetitanborn On the flip side: Yes, we should all engage in politics (lord knows I do), but that doesn't mean we should have to engage with it 24 hours a day.
People need a break sometimes.
They should have the control necessary to take it when they need to.
@ShallowWater@mas.to @dannysullivan The app gives them greater control over gathering your metadata, is much harder to block ads on, and it increases the ticker for the number of people who downloaded the app, which is apparently a dick-measuring contest for media companies.
The apps don't actually offer the consumers a damn thing.

“There is no anti-democratic path to liberty. The majority will ultimately have its way, and the alternatives to getting it through democratic means are much worse. There’s no shortcut around persuasion. History is littered with examples of governments that tried to rule without free and fair elections and the result is only growing authoritarianism, a system of might makes right, and ultimately chaos protecting the rights of nobody.”

@trinsec I would argue they should be reversed, the extra key of shift indicating that the extra data of formatting should be carried over.
This. And also, shift-insert is an abomination. Ctrl-V for life.

@carnage4life The idea that AI programmers are unable to pay a small subscription fee to get access to an entire backlog of training data is ludicrous.
If their stated goal is stopping web crawlers, they're either grossly misinformed or straight-up lying.
This reeks of a false justification.

A journalists' union in #SouthSudan asserts that six staffers with the national broadcaster are detained in connection with footage apparently showing the country’s president urinating on himself, while the national anthem played, during an event last month. away.https://twitter.com/observerug/status/1603046922771628033?s=20&t=UiWtX7J8PLJEeh0GgQollQ

@ThinkingSapien Yeah, that seems like a serious #1A problem. Hopefully there's already a lawsuit filed to challenge it.
@charliejane Literally nobody I know grew up thinking that.

This hasn’t happened since 1923. Someone should ask Chuck Grassley what happens next.
Cannabis
Lmao, this PetMD article goes on and on about how toxic marijuana is for dogs and then when it finally gets to the symptoms list, it's the *exact same as humans*.

@zerocaps @Nick_Craver Mainly because, if everything else for your account is device-agnostic, this wouldn't be. So, if you logged in on a different device, you'd lose all your favorites.
