@arstechnica I don't want it to be simple. I want it to be fair. Refunds should only be processed to companies who are either small businesses (<50 employees) or to businesses who provide a framework that will ensure consumers get their portion of tariffs paid, paid back to them as a refund.

Leftover funds not able to be refunded should be put towards SNAP.

I'm not a legislator, but that sounds like a decent place to start.

A few weeks of X’s algorithm can make you more right-wing – and it doesn’t wear off quickly

X’s algorithms are an editorial force, shaping what people know, whom they pay attention to, who the outgroup is and what “we” should do about or to them, and what people come to believe.

Could a vaccine prevent dementia? Shingles shot data only getting stronger.
Latest data hints that benefits seen so far could be underestimates.

@hackaday

Okay, I know it's different, but like...they did it already. Nintendo did it, not with the original...but with an improved version. So, yeah...

Sen. Susan Collins became the 50th senator to support the voter suppressive SAVE America Act. She's always "concerned," but in fact almost ALWAYS VOTES WITH TRUMP.
Come on, Maine?!? What's it going to take for you to vote this corrupt piece of shit out of office?!?

@sentientsponge I know they were made, but frequently were fought against with patches. Not sure if efforts have been made to keep them viable when jailbreaking was so easy.

@sentientsponge Sounds like you bought an R4 card for DS, not 3DS which was harder to get card compatibility with. (good thing 3DS is very easily hacked, no real need for R4)

Do this, and you both beat Discord and you make a system that’s almost impossible to enshittify or lose to corporate greed.

If you want to make a good #Discord replacement, here’s my advice:

1. Make sure text chat channels, voice chat and screen sharing are there by default. These are non-negotiable.
2. Copy as much of Discord’s UI as possible. If you’re not a designer, don’t try to be all ‘creative’, just do what the actual designers did.
3. Make sure it’s open source, so others can run it
4. Make it federated with the default sign up option being for a centralised server. Don’t make people select an instance.
