Current FTC chair has a pretty good track record so probably not the last bit

Lol the mix of windows XP and Vista icons

No way to verify accounts, weird paywalling, pay for views, losing tons of money, mostly just that

Sort of. There are colleges within university in the US too, we just don’t usually talk about it

Things have actually gotten worse for me. With how crappy Reddit has been over the last few years in terms of how engaging my feed is, I’ve been spending less time on it naturally. Now on Lemmy I find myself addicted again, spending 3 hours in a row some days, after having already used it throughout the day. I’m thinking about giving up Lemmy and Reddit all together, wondering if my comments are even valuable to society and what not. I think maybe I’d be happier without either. Not saying you would be, or that others shouldn’t be on Lemmy, just that I personally struggle with it and it interferes with my life sometimes.

Slippery slope to what? We have those restrictions for news already. Only reason you still see Fox and such lie on the air and get away with it is they’re classified as entertainment instead of news. Freedom of speech and press are still in tact.

Edit: I wasn’t referring to the Tucker Carlson case, but I did learn that’s not true anyway. Nobody accredits news channels in the first place, and as it turns out, the FCC doesn’t even have any authority over cable.

People downvote but it’s true. Most cancer can already be cured if we detect it early, and we have many early detection methods that go un-used because it costs insurance companies more. The scientific/medical arguments against routine screening are weak and pathetic.

I really don’t like that style of interface. But what’s cool is, it doesn’t matter what I think, because both can coexist so people who do like it can enjoy it. Looks good, Rock on!

I hate that the article opens with

Just a decade ago, the concept of self-driving cars might have seemed like something out of a science fiction movie

Ten years ago there was already a ton of competition in self driving car research. They were first legalized on the roads 10 years ago. Tesla autopilot (including it even though it was a scam) was sold 9 years ago. Google spun off its self driving car division as waymo in 2016.

This feels like one of those “bruh Zelda ocarina of time came out 29 years ago, we old” memes

That might be true up in the republican side of Congress, but for the 3 million people working for the federal government that help make the country function? Absolutely bullshit. This guy is bad and he should feel bad.
