  • IIRC, probably the Secret Service will enter a memorandum of understanding with the New York Department of Corrections, and negotiate who and what goes where. Probably means Trump will get a wing of Rikers to himself.

    Don't worry, I have full confidence in the Secret Service's ability to keep Trump perfectly safe while he's making license plates!

  • Indeed. We don't know the conditions of the test. Maybe it was running the engines through a simulated flight. Or they were testing the engine in different failure modes to see if it shuts itself down or takes care of the problem correctly. Or they were doing a deliberate test to failure where a RUD is the expected result.

    What if Lemmy made its own algorithms? That we control...

    We talk about the Algorithm when we talk about the big social media players - what is their algorithm? It's a mystery, and it's certainly set up to make you see what they want you to see.

    What if Lemmy users had their own algorithms? Well, we already have a few - sort by Hot, Active, New, etc. Blocking users, communities, threads, keywords - that's another algorithm - remove content that's likely to be obnoxious. But we can do more than that when the algorithm's working for us instead of a big company...

    Could Lemmy have an AI algorithm that over time is trained to find stuff you like? Or trained to automatically catch and flag Nazi content or illegal content - would save the mods some work. Or trained to send you content you find lame when you've been doomscrolling too long.

    Or for a simpler algorithm, give the users one of Tik Tok's cheats - behind the scenes, Tik Tok staff would "heat" certain vids from certain creators, or with certain keywords, or that promote certain agendas..

    Atheism @lemmy.world

    What from r/atheism at the old place do we want to avoid here in c/atheism?

    I'll start! There was a lot of absolutist rhetoric there that said things along the lines of "All Christians are terrible, horrible, no good, very bad people!" I think a little nuance is in order, no?

    Fediverse @lemmy.world

    Businesses, celebrities & influencers on Threads should operate their own instances, independent from Meta. Get enough of them to do this and Meta can't hold a monopoly.

    This is good for us, and for businesses, influencers and celebrities.

    They need to be encouraged to operate their own instances, and not just an account in Threads or elsewhere in Meta.

    1. You get to have a "home base" for your presence on Threads and the Fediverse that's independent of Big Tech. Ah, the advantages of owning your online house instead of renting! That's why we have a Fediverse.
    2. You get to make the rules, not Meta. You're not getting your content taken down by a faceless corp because some AI software mistakenly concluded you violated TOS. You're not gonna get NSFW'd out of business so some CEO can make bucks with an IPO. And you can kick off the jerkwads that are harassing you when Meta won't.
    3. You get to structure communities/discussions on your instance the way you want.

    AND, getting enough celebrities, influencers and businesses to operate their own instances will take power away from Meta. If there's a critical mass of in-demand people and content outside of
