I once had a deal with my landlord to provide wifi to the other tenants. Of course I didn't snoop, but it's not like they had any real assurance of that. You'd think there might be some privacy concerns but nobody had a problem except when the internet was down. I think in general people don't tend to care about that, though if you do there's the option of using a VPN.

Free speech protections are still in place, and this is why they are important. This resolution can't prevent people from saying it, just signals that the current house of representatives wants to.

putting community conversations front-and-center in the user experience and blending AI-driven efficiency with real human perspectives

So, reading between the lines, Reddit is going to collaborate with advertisers to make their bot spam falsified social proof campaigns successful, while pretending that's not what is going on.

I love it, hate having to check my phone for these, brilliant choice to put the code onscreen

"You do get defeated knowing that homes are so expensive after looking today," Bartolini said. "I hope people in power, they change the price of things. There has to be a way to make everything go cheaper. There's no way that it can just keep going up and up and up cause then people won't be able to live."

I think he wants to change it but maybe doesn't totally understand the real options for changing it.

One thing it's great for is making granola that holds together. Perfect consistency and sweetness. You need to use a lot because the point is to get the oats to stick together, so it would be ridiculously expensive to use honey instead like some recipes suggest (and I think that would probably make it too sweet, since honey is sweeter).

sell things that you actually have the rights to print and sell.

This would exclude the thousands of makers who subscribe to designers like Cinderwing3D, and have permission to print and sell her articulated dragon designs.

It sounds like they do have the rights, and this policy is still causing problems for them because there's a difference between having the rights and being the original creator.

To me it seems fine, especially if there's still a free version that's basically the same or it gets released after a delay. I don't think I'd pay for something like this myself, and maybe they're taking some legal risk, but if the money lets them spend time making media accessible, how is there a problem that outweighs the good?

But our numbers show a strong correlation between profit and negative externalities, so as long as we're causing harm we should be making money. Maybe we should start focusing research on even more dangerous monsters.

Thanks I was confused by this also

To me the part that seems the most wasteful is wasting the time of badly paid workers when you could just prepare food for yourself instead, and to a lesser extent the waste of your money going to a corporation, and the waste of real estate. I don't think things like water use and extra plastic/cardboard trash associated with food is all that impactful or worth worrying about. That said I personally avoid going out to eat except in the rare cases when it is an unavoidable social requirement, so a few times a year at most.

Thanks for taking the time to go through that. These quotes show difficulty disambiguating violent vs nonviolent movements and their outcomes in the data, but I'd say that doesn't quite justify your implied claim that the data points to violent civil resistance methods as successfully "play[ing] a more direct role in undermining the system of oppression."

So I was reading this post and decided to make the tool described, as a userscript (I credit ChatGPT with doing most of the work, which went pretty quickly). To use it, install a compatible userscript browser extension such as https://violentmonkey.github.io/ , then press install on the linked page. Reddit comments should now have a 'copy-context' button that will put the comment chain in your clipboard. I made it for old.reddit so probably won't work with the redesign. Another limitation is that it will only work to copy what is on the current page, so if the comment chain is too deep it's not going to get all of it.

Any feedback is welcome. Also if someone who can read javascript wants to give it a once-over and confirm for people that it isn't malicious that would be cool too.
