Interview: Bernie Sanders on Why It’s Vital for Democrats to Replace Chuck Schumer | The Nation

...he is just not in tune with where his constituents are at... the United States should not provide another nickel of military aid to Israel, period...Chuck is a guy who wants to tinker around the edges.

Do you have a candidate in the race for majority leader? Chris Van Hollen has indicated he’s interested. And you would support him? Yes.

NEW: A veteran who couldn’t get cancer treatment.

Another unable to get surgery for a burst appendix.

Trump officials claim their VA overhaul hasn’t harmed veterans, but our reporting in New Jersey reveals a healthcare system stretched thin and falling short.

@kjv If there was evidence, people would actually point to it versus just ranting on social media without showing any data.

There are actually a bunch of rules in place to prevent this which big tech follow quite rigorously.

@Migueldeicaza @filiph
Exactly. No one has “figured this out” yet, but my vision of an ideal society is one that strives for democracy, egalitarianism, and an economic system that benefits the whole rather than the few.

Capitalism was an improvement on feudalism/monarchy, but we’re well past due for the next evolution—hopefully in the correct direction.

@molly0xfff Sure, but what worries me more is, just what were they trying to summon with that kind of blood sacrifice?

@hacks4pancakes mafia's style from Trump and this "administration" nothing surprising and after they will mention Ukraine and starlink?

I’ve heard about it, should try it

Size and commercialisation generally go hand in hand. After all, how do you keep something running with infinite users submitting infinite content for free?

This is a big issue for everyone, it’s important that the fediverse understands that size might some day increase the importance of sensible business models or proactive funding initiatives to counter the growth. This doesn’t mean harmful profit models necessarily, but it does mean keeping revenues under control for individually run nodes or for archiving services for old fediverse domains that might not exist forever.

I did an oopsie during the modal logic talk so it sadly wasn't properly recorded. which is a shame because it was a nice talk...

My main problem with scrivener is that it has tons of features I never ever use … clutters up the UI

But for what I need it to do it works very well

I am certain if I put the time into it, I could configure obsidian to replicate exactly what I get out of scrivener — without the feature bloat, and with the additional benefit of markdown

I’m just lazy

@MostlyBlindGamer @Benhm3 it’s adorable, geeky, 90s internet stuff.

reddit got bad because spez (the reddit admin) restricted API access to the platform for third-party apps, such that people would be forced to use the official app or web UI, both of which display advertisement and collect user data (e.g. scroll behavior).

the reason why this happened is because reddit is a for-profit company and tries to extract money out of the userbase, at the expense of the users.

another example of a bad decision that reddit made was to push a lot of ragebait (“Am I The Asshole?”) because company shareholders want to see “engagement numbers” go up, and if somebody writes an angry reply to a post, that’s “engagement”. but it makes you angry at the stupidity of the “Asshole”, so it makes your day worse. that is another example how reddit makes money at the expense of the users.

size (number of monthly active users) is not what made reddit bad. commercialization is.

we should probably get rid of the “don’t make lemmy grow, it will ruin the platform if we grow” idea.

LOL you MAGA twats are all so delusional. You could find a conspiracy in the facts surrounding your own birth. But keep it up. This kind of make-believe will help you lose again and again. And that’s good for the rest of us.
