I think they’re talking about people you may have lost contact with. Where do you find anyone for a quick text? Facebook. What is the substitute platform for finding just about anyone?

Shut up, Wesley!
The byline for everyone around but not in the Trump administration right now.
zephorah@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Cops are deploying AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters”English19·8 days agoWait. Events are moving too fast to keep up with, now free speech is illegal. Great.
zephorah@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Japan’s best-selling EV is the Sakura, an adorable kei car with bidirectional charging and 112 miles of range. Its cost: $17k. It can not legally be sold in North America. English101·10 days agoUnless you live inside a major city in America, you can’t get to work without a vehicle. It’s either have a car or be homeless.

zephorah@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Bots increase online user engagement but stifle meaningful discussion, study showsEnglish5·16 days agoIf “engagement” is a tap in, which this article is not clear on, then it’s a piss poor measurement of engagement.
I think bots are “good” for making an item appear viral through artificial amplification of visibility. Of note, the headlines in Gaza and Israel pre 2024 election were a deluge. Multiples every day. Post election, that deluge of posts dropped abruptly, to 0-1 a day.
There also needs to be a distinction between passive and active engagement.
zephorah@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Trump urges firms to move to US 'now' to avoid tariffsEnglish2·16 days agoNot so silently, if you pay attention. There were brief headlines on the No selling to our defense contractors some time ago.
I’m in Trump time dilation so it’s hard to guesstimate when I read that one.
zephorah@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•Trump urges firms to move to US 'now' to avoid tariffsEnglish17·17 days agoIs this man functioning at full capacity? It took over a year to build a chain grocery store in a nearby town and that’s mostly stuff on shelves, not a production line set-up. Time was spent up front as well, in planning and logistics, that I wasn’t able to see, such that the total time to build a chain grocery store took well over a year, maybe two or even three.
Meanwhile, Trump expects “now” for manufacturing.
Never mind the fact that Americans won’t be able to buy products of that manufacturing due to high costs. What was the estimate, that iPhones manufactured here would cost $2k+? Something like that.
I’m not passionate about bourbon nor am I a real drinker and thus the wrong person to pull into what is intended to be a heated discussion on it.
My original point is some people are and some of those people make policy decisions.
I can’t say I’ve ever enjoyed the taste of a regular whiskey, top shelf or not. There is a difference. Granted, your comment is intended as baiting in this way.
Someone in charge likely has a bourbon cellar. If you’ve ever had good bourbon, you’ll understand. Small amounts of the top shelf bourbon can be like good chocolate.
Or they’re practiced lushes and don’t want any alcohol price increases.
More than mildly interesting.
I’m guessing there are probably private security company logos and hunting gear logos based on that final pose.

zephorah@lemm.eeto World News@lemmy.world•France braced as far right and leftwing parties plan rallies in wake of Le Pen decisionEnglish351·20 days agoSouth Korea and France, at least, are getting this part right.
zephorah@lemm.eeto Games@lemmy.world•Switch 2 preorders [in the US] delayed over Trump tariff uncertaintyEnglish8·22 days agoWhat’s uncertain? He’s solidifying income for the executive branch sans congress. And thus gutting congressional power over the executive branch before midterms.

Classic Cluster B like behavior.
