I’ve used it to redact PII in user stories.

This seems like an inappropriate use case that could have legal repercussions :/

he's specifically asking about the treatment from Hamas and his examples don't make sense in the context of just Germans.. winking? giving an extra piece of bread?

His language is always tough to interpret but I've read the full quote several times now and I don't see how it makes sense unless he's comparing the hostage treatment from Hamas to the Nazis' treatment of the Jewish people.

I don't think he's saying that the Nazis loved the Jewish people but I also don't think that's what the headline says either.

you're missing my point that there are many things in life that don't require several hours of context and nuance. And those things aren't automatically invaluable because they don't require much time to grasp and move on.

For example, a one-panel comic may only take a few moments to parse and enjoy. Does that mean it can only be enjoyed by those "with short attention spans"? Does that mean its value is inherently less?

there's more to life than political discourse 🤷‍♂️

they can't really do that because that would be defamation and they would be sued for it. Bribery is a crime and while it is effectively the same as lobbying from our perspective, one is legal and one is not and a media outlet can't just accuse someone of a crime without evidence unless they want to close up shop

I actually help run a blog, so I know first hand how many barriers there are between a blogger and their audience and it's getting worse all the time. These days even if you do make good content that people are looking for, the search engines summarize your content or rank higher content which has scraped your content and summarized it.

that's even if you have the skills to set up a blog and the resources to fund it. Not everyone has that and if they don't, does that mean their content shouldn't be seen?

trust me, I wish the Internet was different but with things like TikTok, you just have to focus on making your content and it takes care of bringing it to the people. With a blog, you really need to seek people out and a lot of people are turned off by self-promotion.

And yeah, I know there's an argument that people shouldn't need other's validation or attention for their art but also as a creative person it is demoralizing to make stuff that no one ever sees.

TikTok has tons of issues but this bugs me so much. There are many examples of people sharing their creativity, their skill, their knowledge, their passion to the world on tiktok and it's so good at exposing you to it if you are interested in seeing all kinds of people expressing themselves.

Since when does the value of content correlate directly with the amount of time it consumes?

is brevity no longer the soul of wit??

I find it useful for finding local events where I live, updates from local businesses and newspapers.. it's also cool for following artists or bands I care about.

Idk, it's in a weird space between facebook, what twitter used to be and tiktok. It can be useful if you curate your feed right 🤷‍♂️

WHY DID THIS 3 POINTER TAKE FIVE DAYS

YES YES, IT'S NOT TIME BUT WE ARE TRACKING IT THAT WAY BUT IT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU TO NOT THINK OF IT THAT WAY WHEN YOU ESTIMATE BUT WHY DID YOU GO OVER THREE DAYS

idk man, my scalp gets all dry and then if I counter by moisturizing it gets all shiny. I just give up, if I'm not seeing people I care about I'm not gonna shave it

[–] ramirezmike 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

the thing about balding that I didn't expect is how fast the hair I have left grows. It's like I have to shave it every week if I don't want to look like that.

not a channel but I recently got into this band cosmic collective that does some jazz and lofi stuff and they're real people and they live near me and I see them live and it's dope
