If he does end up absent on the list, I think it’s precisely because of the Lewinsky scandal. Why would you make the same mistake twice.

And I’m certainly not trying to defend Clinton here, but we should keep in mind none of his (many) infidelities were illegal / with underage girls. Which, it needs to be said, didn’t make them ‘okay.’

That may have been plausible in 2016 (when Hillary was running,) but not in 2020 and 2024. There’s zero chance the DNC would’ve sat on evidence that would’ve convicted Trump to protect Bill.

I actually think Clinton is not on the list. Not because I don’t think he’s capable of such acts (which I tentatively do) but because engaging in such acts as a former president and with a wife with lofty political ambitions is a pretty high bar. And, perhaps most of all, with this congress and this DOJ and this president, if Clinton was on the list we’d absolutely know it by now.

Ah, I see. I would agree, but don’t think this is the most clear way of communicating it.

Looks cool. Question: do I have to do the activity in-app, or can the app read my HealthKit data to pick up the activity there?

Meta, Instagram, etc. is a private company, and can make decisions like that. It’s their right, and I understand it.

It would be hyperbole to claim such censorship violates freefree-speech, but when The sided reason for censorship is “national interest“ it certainly comes close.

In n Out is worth billions selling hamburgers almost exclusively in California. Even the ‘doing business here’ must not be too bad.

I’m on the beta. And I started hating it, then went to disliking it to simply not preferring it.

Being in beta, they are still making tweaks. I think, somewhat unexpectedly, the final build will be kinda nice.

There was a point at which reddit because so big as to fundamentally change. Call it 'when regular people joined reddit.' But that's not what ruined it, it was reddit itself capitulating to shareholders.

Still hard to ditch Reddit entirely, there’s just too much valuable content on there.

But accessing Lemmy via mobile app is darn near perfect, and feels a lot like early Reddit. Just need more active users.

I’m just questioning what value he’d find in a Twitter account these days. Unless he’s doing a full-court PR press to rehabilitate his image, seems anything public facing is more harm than good.
