No more than you can say that about any organization/business that has ever received a grant or government contracts. This is a common misconception. They are not in the budget for US.
By Musk’s definition SpaceX is “funded by the state.” And far more than NPR is.

800p!
Also the 42fps setting is wonderful
Thanks for all your hard work!
It’s pretty scummy behavior
I can’t speak for everyone else, but the only recommendations I want to see are ones directly relevant to the video I have pulled up in front of me. I can get why that is not exactly what everyone wants though.
And after three or four clicks, you’re immediately stumbling through horrible right wing ragebait
No argument here!
I mean I don’t care as long as I can opt out and it’s clear how to.
Bless you AMD
AMD handles its version of CIP and Telemetry in arguably the most transparent manner. The installer of AMD Software Adrenalin presents the option to prevent its data-collection tool from being enabled at the completion of driver installation, regardless of whether you’ve chosen the “typical,” “driver only,” or “custom” install options. There’s an entire page of the installer dedicated to this, you see a large checkbox about data-collection that’s checked by default, but which you can uncheck, and complete installation.
Companies don’t even try to spin it anymore. There is no reason any of us need this.
I swear 40-50% of all dialogue, interactions, etc. reflect the character I built. It is insane. They made D&D into a video game. They actually did it.
BG3 baybee what other game is there!?
Let me clarify because I can tell I implied too much and it just ended up not being communicated. That’s on me.
My point is an issue with moderation. The simple fact is toxic behavior is allowed because mods/admins/etc. on forums tend to be too cautious with the ban hammers unless a rule is explicitly violated. If someone is disruptive to the community and constantly starting fights, even if they don’t “break a rule on the side bar,” the mods at /r/politics needed to just show them the door but never did. I don’t know if it’s a well meaning but misguided commitment to “Free Speech :TM:” or concern about the optics to the community or whatever, regardless if there is someone in your hen house riling up all the hens every day, it doesn’t matter if they’re a wolf or a hen. Kick them out.
At present I have not seen many admins with the stomach to enforce like that. But if we want to actually not be reddit all over again, that’s what it will take. Beehaw I think has some decent ideas about how to handle this problem via defederation, and I think it’s a real solution that needs to be explored more, but ultimately admins need to just kick people out when they’re particularly toxic and disruptive.
The reason I mentioned the “stop the steal” crowd in particular is because 100% of the time it is just a horrible flame war the moment they pop in. Dozens of removed comments and just insults hurled everywhere.
There’s nothing to evaluate. Megathreads were designed to kill topics on Reddit (unless it was a MAJOR, developing, current event) and they do the same here. You’re the first person to comment at all in this thread in over a month.
