6sup6··on Coffeezilla, a YouTuber Exposing Crypto Scams
After what the Canadian government managed to do with truckers crypto funds, I think it is more important than ever for people to understand what type of crypto to hold.
6sup6··on Expats are moving to Portugal
That party is only socialist in name. LOL
6sup6··on Expats are moving to Portugal
I was born in the US and came to Portugal 2.5 years ago. After dealing with the typical California urbanite, I feel for my people. The issue isn't just the price increases in many things in my home country. It is also that these people, once they are allowed to vote in Portugal, will push for the same stuff that they did in California and screw my politically/socially moderate home country. Very sad, maybe I will start voting accordingly to counterbalance this.
6sup6··on El Salvador expected to default as Bitcoin plummets
Did he persecute people like Pinochet did? Calling him a dictator is like having someone saying that misgendering them caused them PTSD: it is putting war induced trauma in the same bag as whatever misgendering is.
6sup6··on Video shows San Francisco police watching as burglary unfolds
Any proof to support that accusation?
6sup6··on Freedom is not a goal, but a direction
Yet those courts condemned a comedian for jokes.
6sup6··on Making the dislike count private across YouTube
It doesn't matter if the conclusions don't make sense. What matters is that the impact is going inyo the promo package.
6sup6··on Portugal bans bosses texting staff after-hours
Beneficiary? If you are a Portuguese citizen, you will be shocked when you learn how much corruption goes around those EU funds. I saw it with my own eyes in the area of suicide prevention. I can even point names ( just have to open older emails and chats)
6sup6··on Word usage guidance and alternative terms
Im aware of a few words but I don't read the guide.

It is (almost) literally a minefield to work with these people. I'm here just for the green card and the huge bonus I'm getting.

If you can, avoid this company.

6sup6··on Word usage guidance and alternative terms
Don't give them ideas, please.
6sup6··on Word usage guidance and alternative terms
I can confirm that. And I feel it everyday.

I am a googler and I am ashamed.

The first step is organize ourselves.
6sup6··on Google Blocking Web Privacy Proposals at W3C (2019)
Given one of the last mozilla blog entries (i.e. the one about deplatforming), I stopped using firefox and I'm now using Brave.
6sup6··on Fitbit is now officially part of Google
What about...just providing a desktop app to receive all the data and do all the computation needed? Or the same thing in your phone. What are the exact dangers of these two approaches? And dangers to whom?
6sup6··on How Silicon Valley destroyed Parler
Mark zuckerberg, during one of the senate hearings, admitted that facebook coordinates with other big tech companies in certain situations.
6sup6··on How Silicon Valley destroyed Parler
Will you also include communists in your game? I'm asking this because many countries had "beautiful experiences" while being governed by communists.
6sup6··on How Silicon Valley destroyed Parler
I can remember very well calls for violence in twitter against Nick Sandemann. And I remember very well those calls for violence not being removed at all.

Also, during the riots of 2020, it was extremely common to find calls to violence in twitter that weren't deleted.

6sup6··on Parler drops offline after Amazon pulls support
They are in twitter as long as they don't step the line. Try to misgender someone in twitter to see what happens. The idea of misgender comes from a very specific political tribe in certain western countries.
6sup6··on Parler drops offline after Amazon pulls support
Can you offer some hypothesis that explain what happened?
6sup6··on Parler drops offline after Amazon pulls support
According to your moral values. But your morals aren't shared by the entire world.
6sup6··on Parler drops offline after Amazon pulls support
I would put my money that if Parler goes to any of the web hosting services you listed, they will still be deplatformed.
6sup6··on Facebook Indefinitely Suspends Trump
Until section 230 is reformed, Facebook can't keep banning whoever they want by making certain concepts more broad.
6sup6··on Timnit Gebru’s team at Google is going public with their side of the story
What do you mean by that?
6sup6··on Timnit Gebru’s team at Google is going public with their side of the story
Do you honestly believe that the journalists at mainstream publications would give platform to any googler that goes against her? If I would answer internally to certain threads saying that I think her being fired was completely justified, I would get a target on my back. That's why you won't find almost any voices against her and, the few ones you find, try to do it in a very "smooth way", always walking on eggshells. People that don't like Timnit know what her and her group would do to your career in tech, in the US.

This comment will probably be downvoted but this is the only relevant place I feel I can talk about this without being doxxed or persecuted. As a Googler, im honestly happy to see people like her gone. I remember quite clearly what her ideological tribe does to anyone that disagrees with them. At least one of the their targets can't show who they work for in LinkedIn years after they were fired.

You will only get mainstream publications talk about the people that support her and the PR machine at google. You wont get to read people that dislike the environment she and her tribe create.

Thanks for reading.
