<p>><i>The government should be prohibited from making such requests.</i><p>They are. The first amendment forbids the government from interfering with the press. They're ignoring it and hoping people don't know this fact. The fact that other media outlets aren't pointing this out, means they're all part of the same fascist tribe as the FBI.<p>Remember, fascism is the union of state and corporate power according to Mussolini's ghost writer. And it's what we're seeing here. The FBI and big tech being on the same side.</p>

<p>The First Amendment:<p>><i>Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.</i><p>It's since been expanded through court cases to extend from congress to every government entity including local ones.<p>The government is constitutionally forbidden from meddling with the press, even through private entities via the 14th amendment. The FBI and CIA meddled with twitter. The particulars aren't relevant. They're expressly forbidden from doing what they did.</p>

<p>After years (a decade+?) of holding out on password managers I finally gave bitwarden a shot (based on recommendations here), and was able to import ~900 logins from google chrome.<p>Their UI in the chrome extension (brave browser actually) for changing/editing logins could use a little work, but overall I'm pretty happy with it. I even bit the bullet and now have passwords I don't actually know involved in everyday life. Irritatingly, uploading a video from GeForce's live capture to youtube - despite logging in with 2fa - caused a security freakout at google and now I was forced to change my gmail password.<p>But I digress, bitwarden even integrates with iOS's login management as another option to Apple's, though irritatingly not on OS X.</p>

<p>I don't think unions can never be net negative. I'm a huge fan of unions in fact.<p>But to a lot of people who oppose them, it's a more convincing statement that they're a balancing force for good than anything else I've come up with.<p>I usually say, "The only thing worse than a union is no union." because I'm aware that they can have negative effects. Police unions come to mind. I still wouldn't ban them though. Police unions should really be an example of how powerful they can be for the working class, if nothing else.</p>

<p>The bustiest times twitter has ever been have all been after he bought it, if you believe him.<p>And he's so controversial - even here - that all he has to do is keep fiddling with it and people flock to the circus with popcorn.<p>What evidence does anyone have that it's being destroyed? What are the metrics for any social media site being destroyed?<p>Thinking about myspace and digg - it seemed to be loss of user base.  Does anyone have metrics independent of Musk/twitter insiders that it's losing users? Seems like <a href="https://alexa.com/" rel="nofollow">https://alexa.com/</a> is dead...</p>

<p>>When I was in my 30s and had two small children, my appendix burst. It turned into a fairly routine procedure to remove it and get me back on my feet; but I realized that if I had lived even 100 years ago it probably would have been fatal.*<p>I've lost count of how many "ordinary" infections I've lived through thanks to antibiotics. One would have for sure killed me. A puncture wound on the bottom of my foot in a dirty river in the south.<p>We're not even 100 years into having antibiotics. A species just getting started tbh. I wonder what will come next that is similarly "magical" to antibiotics.</p>

<p>I think there's also some effect if the flood of adrenaline and other chemicals causes your body and brain to essentially accelerate. Like a slowmo camera. Time didn't slow down, but you're acting and recording at a higher framerate for lack of a better analogy. So the recording (memory) feels like time slowed down.</p>
