@TheServitor True.

@HuK If you say so, bot.

How people think AI is going to kill them: terminator robots.

How AI is actually going to kill them: by destroying their habitat and drinking all their water.

@davidgerard

The problem isn’t that you don’t know Google is bad. The problem is that you think Mozilla is good.

@jonny Yeah, the thing is I don't see *that much* advertising on the indie web...

The surface web seems to serve as its own echo chamber! How do people stand it anymore?

@OperaLab 💕

@jamesravey Thanks, James 💕

@philippe 💕

@COMPU73E :( I’m sorry; we left the country because of it so I hear you.

Folks: the reason people haven’t done this <important thing> is because they haven’t heard about it

Me: makes post about it that doesn’t mince words and gets reposted quite a bit, thereby getting more people to hear about it while a boring post wouldn’t

Folks: well, that was a bit harsh, wasn’t it? You should really have posted something bland and boring about it… most people just haven’t heard about it.

You just can’t fucking win with some folks :)

@hanscees @Herman 💕

@lilian No idea, sorry :(

@LePertti 👍

@grumpydad My goodness, to go one day without getting tone policed… now that would be amazing.

@dascandy “Personal data collected in the statements of support cannot be used for any other purpose”

“Both the group of organisers and the Commission must destroy all statements of support signed for a given initiative (and any copies) by whichever of these dates comes first:

1 month after the organisers submit the initiative to the Commission
21 months after the collection period starts.”

@dascandy Well you also have to fully dox yourself to vote in an election. It would be good to know, however, whether your signature is linked to you or, like a vote, used only for authentication.

@_noelamac_ Always has been.

@janisf @IanDSmith It’s unconscionable.

I mean, if an EU citizen’s initiative to tax the rich cannot get a paltry 1 million signatures (less than one quarter of one percent of the population), I guess we really must deserve this bullshit system.

You still have five days, sign this ffs:
