Have a grown up explain to you what "supposed to" means, dumbass.

You have agreed with me that LinkedIn is shit, and you're too fucking stupid to know it.

The left has become incapable of recognizing it' own authoritarianism or just how far and fast it has moved away from the center. Since 2008, the American right is 2% further to the right, while the Left moved 31% further left. That's far enough from the center to be unable to distinguish it from the far-right. Bill Clinton probably looks like Rush from there now.

I don't give a shit about movement to the right or left, not right now. I just want basic competence and support for the rule of law, because those are the things we've totally lost under the current GOP. A bit of compassion would be good, too. What I wouldn't give to have Dubya back.

PETA was never about animal rights. They have always been about virtue signaling and trying to control other people's lives. And nothing else.

They were shittified from day one.

So Sam Altman should be allowed to post multiple articles on LinkedIn about how AI is going to transform workplaces and society

Who says so? Certainly not me.

Since your premise is stupid, the rest isn't worth reading.

Correction: LinkedIn was originally just a job-and-resume posting site. And while the vast majority of its end users still treat it as such, the site's owners have been desperately trying to turn it into something else - more of a Facebook/Twitter hybrid - for almost a decade now.

EFF is only one of many contributors to the enshittification, including the owners. But they are certainly guilty of contributing.

EFF isn't dumping X because of any confusion over the line between politics and work. They're dumping X because nobody bothers with it any more.

Why do you supposed nobody bothers with it any more?

All the cool kids left long ago.

Are you referring to Twitter or the FFS? GPL use in new projects has been steadily declining. The "cool kids" are going MIT and Apache.

App usage, License usage, ... things evolve, newer entries make improvements.

Republicans still don't believe Trump's policies cause inflation, do they?

No, its that inflation is lower.

(You know Biden actually had inflation under control by the end of his term,

You know that inflation is cummukative?

From Google:
Inflation at the End of Biden's Term (Jan 2021 – Jan 2025)
Final Rate: The year-over-year inflation rate for the end of the Biden administration (ending in December 2024/January 2025) was approximately 2.9% to 3.0%.
Peak: Inflation reached a four-decade high of 9.1% in June 2022 before beginning a gradual decline.
Context: While the rate of increase had slowed by January 2025, cumulative price increases over the four-year term were approximately 20%–21%.

Inflation Currently Under Trump (as of April 2026)
Current Rate: Based on data from early 2026, the annual inflation rate was reported at 2.4% in February 2026.
Trend: Inflation was reported at 2.7% in December 2025 and dropped to 2.4% by January 2026 and February 2026.
Factors: The decline has been attributed to falling energy prices and a cooling of the core inflation rate, which was 2.5% in February 2026.

a problem he inherited from a combination of inheriting Trump's economy and the COVID supply chain problems, right?

Actually no, Biden significantly added to inflation with the green new deal (name otherwise to obfuscate).

And he did that while maintaining full employment,

Not really, it was mostly jobs returning as covid ended.

If what we're experiencing right now is the Republicans "better energy policy", I'd hate to see their bad one. There is no possible way a hypothetical Democrat administration could've screwed the pooch on fuel prices any worse than they are right now. Imagining the price at the pump would be worse under Kamala is pure copium.

There is ni need to imagine. We know the answer. From Google:

President Term Average Price
Donald Trump (First Term) $2.57
Barack Obama (Second Term) $2.95
Barack Obama (First Term) $3.12
Joe Biden $3.60
