meatpuppeting··on You've Been Referred Here Because You're Wrong About Section 230 of the CDA
I start to feel like whats the point, I'll just be told its "fake news" and they totally ignore it.

Good article though.

meatpuppeting··on An Uncommon Cold
So like if bats are so deadly and common carriers of these diseases that could potentially jump to humans, would it be sensible I guess to pass laws who can import, trade, or come in contact with them? People owning them as pets or anything like that...it should almost just be considered a biohazard and illegal without permits.

Idk random idea...I'm by no means an expert, but trying to think ways to mitigate it.

Yeah same, it's pretty nice that like Messenger app and their site Messenger.com exists to just totally avoid the feed and everything aspect of Facebook.
meatpuppeting··on Deleting Facebook permanently
One of the biggest (but dumbest) things is I signed up for Spotify with Facebook...and need it to log in.

I'm too lazy to like transfer all my playlists and liked songs to a new account.

Yeah basically same purpose as you. FB messenger to talk to some people or have old friends keep in touch.
meatpuppeting··on Apple targets car production by 2024, eyes ‘next level’ battery tech: sources
Yeah I mean it seems like a fine card.

I guess more what I was getting at originally myself was Apple opening a credit card didn't strike me as big news of bigger things on the horizon. Given dozens of other companies do the exact same thing, some also doing the 2% back everywhere thing.

It just seemed like a pretty typical thing large companies do these days.

This is really cool! I'd really like to visit the Faroe Islands when the pandemic is over.

>Apple Card was perhaps a dipping of the toes moment

Was it really? Dozens of companies have credit cards. Walmart, Uber, Paypal, Venmo, Best Buy, Amazon...it didn't real strike me as big things happening when Apple announced their credit card.

meatpuppeting··on Sick of spending time on Auth, we built an open source 'Stripe for Auth'
Usually what happens to me on side stuff, is I spend so much time on the basic setting up auth and other things that are done over and over.......I burn out and never actually make the business logic of the app lol.
