Meta is downranking/hiding political content on Threads. The company says Threads will “not recommend any content/accounts that post about politics.”
Here’s the issue: what counts as “politics” is often any news abt people who have had their whole existence politicized, such as news about Black people, LGBTQ people, disabled ppl, women, etc. Climate scientists, public health experts etc also considered “political” https://www.axios.com/2024/02/09/meta-political-content-moderation-threads

We're preparing a big and important release today, admins should be prepared to update ASAP!
I just worry how many americans will think what was said by Putin as perfectly fine, and vote in November accordingly.
Lack of education clearly is a factor, anyone educated sees the differences between fact and fiction.

🤡Tucker Carlson announced the interview with Putin as "historic" - but instead he received from the dictator a lesson in false Russian history, delusions about the denazification of Ukraine and the war unleashed by NATO.
That is, the usual Russian propaganda that justifies the invasion and that the whole world has been hearing for almost two years.
This is what the American presenter himself said after the interview with Putin:
"I'm not quite sure what I think about this interview... Putin is not the kind of person who gives a lot of interviews. He doesn't know how to explain himself... He clearly spends a lot of time in a world where he doesn't have to explain anything to anyone," Carlson said.
I agree, with that and I am not that good a programmer, sure for some code you can copy paste, people still need to understand how the code works,
lazy programmers are going to be a real problem going forward.

World "not prepared" for climate disasters after warmest ever January. Unprecedented disasters have just occurred in California (extreme rains) and the Valparaíso region (wildfires entering a major city).

How better and cheaper software could save millions of dollars while improving Canada’s #health-care system.
"Billions of Canadian tax dollars have been funnelled to private companies to develop proprietary medical software. More tax dollars were then paid to the same companies to use the software to run our medical system. "
#Propriety #Software #Canada #Province #HealthCare #Waste
How about giving that money to FOSS developers, embrace public money, public code and start to develop solutions people want and can adapt to changing needs quickly.

I've no longer got a job, and I'm also kinda completely broke.
So if anyone has a few extra dollars they can donate to help me make it to my first payday, that'd be very appreciated.

Meta decision to submerge political posts on Threads is probably better than giving right-wing trolls the run of the place the way it did on Facebook.
A better approach would be serious moderation, which isn't going happen.

JASPER, Ala. (AP) — The theft of a giant radio tower has silenced what used to be the voice of a small Alabama town and the surrounding county, the radio station’s general manager said.
A thief or thieves made off with the 200-foot (61 meter) tower, shutting down WJLX radio in Jasper, Alabama. So far, no arrests have been made.
Sorta like stealing all of the newspapers that carry unflattering stories about the police department ...

I am sure most co op managers are not interested in protesters, they are more worried about the welfare of their STAFF being targetred by armed gangs. Not just co op but other shops too, car owners, home owners, and other crime victims.
They are in FEAR, criminals are not in fear and act with impunity.
One of these days then will lay down work, and there will be a massive protest against what they are facing, will the government put THEM in jail for expressing their right to go to work without being assauled, or worse.

Rishi Sunak's put out another video.
"I've asked the police what powers they need to bring order to our streets. Those who abuse their right to protest undermine public safety and our democratic values."
After directly relating the rise in antisemitism to the ceasefire protests.

#Israel is planning a military operation in Rafah, the southernmost city in #Gaza that's currently hosting more than 1 million internally displaced Palestinians who have nowhere else to go. This was Israel's plan all along. The goal is to annex #Palestine and drive all Palestinians to Egypt and Jordan. If the US/West allows this to happen, then it will embolden the likes of #Russia, and also legitimize radical Islam in the eyes of 1-2 billion Muslims.

Prediction : Bloodbath and true genocide
Western response, israel self defense
middle east response, revenge revenge revenge, they will launch a full scale retaliation on the west, not sure what or how but they have the numbers, the hatred is being fuelled all the time.
Escalation of the current situation
More blood shed.
Either biden says NO louder and backs this up by cutting funds to isreal or we will face a catastrophe beyond imagination
After which the Politicians and elite will say lessons need to be learned to stop this happening again.
Repeat
The west needs to sort out its defensive capabilities so we have a full military who can be called upon at short notice, we need better cyberdefences, which means educating everyone in good security (like it not).
We also need the ability to do unto hostile statese what they do to us, if they hack a power station, we do the same to them. If they steal data we also hit back and either do the same or fully mitigate what they have done.
We can't keep putting essential infrastructure at risk, it needs sorting out ASAP, otherwise hostile states will beef up their defence, have enough offence to overwhelm us, and also be able to take advantage of stupidity such as being obsessed with sharing information.
Russia is NOT the only threat
