It’s not poor investors losing their savings

It’s both. Trump has actively encouraged buy-in and credibly been accused of having first let key investors in on the ground floor, so the value skyrockets when it’s announced, the insiders sell at substantial profit, and the MAGA marks see the bottom fall out of their “investment” shortly afterwards.

I’m not sympathetic with the victims, but it’s still predatory.

Thanks! I did wonder whether it might be a noun that was a cognate of “cord” (as in rope, cable, string), but I don’t speak a word of Portuguese.

This is an established phenomenon in linguistics, called betacism! There are several languages that have gone from V to B or vice versa over time.

Pretty much all V sounds in modern “native” English words would have been B sounds in its Germanic predecessors.

According to the YouTube captions, the person in the first clip says, “Gente! Gente, acorda a corda, velho!”, which is, “Guys! Guys, wake up the rope, man!”

The person in the second clip says, “Ai, meu Deus do ćeu!”, which is apparently just, “Oh my God” – going by tone, I wouldn’t say the second person had noticed the issue, but it sounded like the first one did and was in disbelief.

It’s virtually every time for me, so if I can help diagnose it somehow, feel free to contact me! Thanks.

I pushed a bug report through TestFlight a few months back, but I guess they’re more useful directly logged as issues against the repository?

When editing a comment, the edit box would only show the first few lines, and I couldn’t interact with it. After hitting the “select text” button for the parent comment and canceling that modal, the editor would immediately work as it should.

Edit: looks like I spoke too soon! I’m seeing the issue again now. Logged on GitHub.

Glad for the threading fixes, thanks! You also seem to have fixed the comment edit screen so it works right away without having to pop open the “select text” screen, which is nice to have back.

You’ve got more energy for this conversation than I have, I’m afraid! My general feeling is that you’re understating the platform and the tone of the post, and the political climate in which the statement was made, and that Yen did much the same when he posted it, but I won’t pursue this further.

Ah, yeah, I’m not saying that. I didn’t like that it was a blatant public licking of Trump’s boot, and I didn’t like his intimation that the GOP is now the bastion of small tech businesses (as if the massive open bribes by tech leaders to Trump weren’t happening, and as if the GOP hadn’t led the fight against net neutrality).

An affiliate or sponsorship arrangement is a transactional placement for awareness, not an endorsement of a creator’s views. […] The responsibility to vet who we put our name next to is ours.

I’m willing to give Proton a fair amount of the benefit of the doubt (albeit a little less after the Trump-endorsing antitrust tweet by Yen a few years ago), but this is a baffling set of statements.

“The type of people we pay to plug our services doesn’t indicate that we endorse their message. I mean, obviously it does, but we don’t care enough to manage it closely.”

Wesa got a pink Chevrolet Corvette convertible. That’s why you no liking us, meesa thinks.

Swapping US technological control for Russian technological control? I don’t know to what extent the current solution is dependent, but it would be extremely naïve to just use OnlyOffice as-is.

That’s not the only factor in the die-out of the Neanderthals. Another is thought to be a massive reduction of the population and geographical constriction during the ice age, isolated communities afterwards resulting in little genetic variation, and thereby high susceptibility to disease.

Yup, it’s meant to describe the gradual process of changes to a thing, like a service or product, that are hostile to the user as a means to make extra profit – paywalling formerly free features (or just removing them) is the classic pattern. Changing branding text is not.

Ironic that we’re witnessing the enshittification of the word “enshittification”.

Your eyes cannot see it, but you actually glow.

To add to this, the context of the original photo is a home in Hollywood in 1923 from a member of the (obviously) deeply prejudiced “Hollywood Protective Association,” with signs installed as part of a push by some residents to evict the Japanese-American community and curb additional settlement by non-white people.

As far as I can tell from a cursory search, there was no real material motivation at all, just racism and xenophobia following an increased number of Japanese migrants.

Uh-oh – don’t they know that venerating statues will make them both evil and gay? 1 Romans:

²¹For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. ²²Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools ²³and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

²⁴Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. ²⁵They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

²⁶Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. ²⁷In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

²⁸Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done. ²⁹They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, ³⁰slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; ³¹they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

I had to stop myself from downvoting you from sheer outrage, so you’ve got the right community!

I’m so much happier in sunny weather. I’m jealous that you enjoy it being overcast.
