Dey jumpin' of da 'Bang!wagon'. :D

>I genuinely worry about the state of journalism.

Journalism is a dying occupation. Op-Ed and Agenda-driven Rhetoric is the replacement for News. :D

>... all of you aren't just bots...

I would just assume they/we are all bots.

I like to play 'Spot the Human' in subreddit comments. The internet has become a warzone and the demise of human interactions are the collateral damage in the 'Great Bot vs AI Battle'. :D

But the consequences of using facial recognition, maliciously, is not.

This is the most asinine approach to teaching children about, consent, personal space and behavioural boundries that I have ever seen. :|

She needs a bandaid for that OWI. :D

>... but when they played the video they fucked up and showed a few seconds more.

Either way, it could be interpreted as a form of 'jury tampering' and, consequently, leading to a biased and unsafe verdict.

>You joke...

Actually, I do believe what I wrote, but people can get all bent out of shape when I criticise the capitalists and the, unacknowledged, death of Democracy.

>Your theory is that the universe is self contained?

No. The universe is unbounded.

No. The computer is not accelerating relative to its graphical output. The path that the EM energy is taking has been extended because of a processing bottleneck.

We live in a strange, neo-feudalistic, corporate oligarchy. Government is dead. Long live the CEO. :P

>Hall's legal team is now arguing that footage from the special was later used to sentence their client to death...

>​... However, Hall's legal team is claiming that additional footage, outside that segment, was later presented to the Brazos County Jury before they voted to sentence him to death.

Who selected this footage and where, when and why was it shown to the jurors prior to sentencing?

>Into what?

Prior to the universe existing, there was no 'what'. Just void, null, absolute absence.

The emergence of the universe created its own 'what' and exists within itself without reference to a boundry.

>Now instead of one service you don't know whether you can trust you have hundreds.

Well, lets build on end-to-end encryption, and go from there. :D

>... and mastedon is only focused on the profit side of things...

Where does this idea originate? Do you understand the idea behind the Fediverse?

As for 'Grandma', it's like telling her that it doesn't matter which service she uses, they all do the same thing and just as safe as each other. :D

>Centralization is exactly the value proposition of social media. I fail to see what Mastodon brings to the table that something like Signal, Telegram, or even Discord don't already have out there

Interoperability between different systems is the key. Centralisation is the problem. Mastodon and a 'Fediverse' of similar applications brings interoperablility without being tied to profit-generated platforms.

Centralised social media platforms become unwieldly and polarised. They are, also, very vulnerable to manipulation and technological disruption.

No, they didn't. They saw a qauntum effect that could be characterised as a 'wormhole' effect if wormholes actually existed. It is a similie, not a direct comparison.

>... you're plagued by gods though?

Precisely. Godless, denotes a human society bereft of 'God'. 'Godridden' denotes a society suffused with a unchallengable belief in a deity.

I like 'godridden'. :)

What is Daniel Green's theological affiliations? The headline is pejorative and designed to imply 'godliness' is a good thing.

The opening theme from '2001: A space Odyssey'. https://youtu.be/3XyS7uCtnq0?t=23

Is this the epitome of 'putting your balls on the line' by putting your balls online? :D
