Usual info-free article with clickbait headline. Tinfoil-heads will call it a "troll / honey-pot", designed to attract and identify 'troublemakers'.
And from that comment section, it's working.
The SEC or FTC or someone should sue Reddit for using the word 'decentralize' in connection with a feature that's only available within...Reddit! I don't care how many 'blockchains' and other buzz-terms they surround it with.
...useless tech
Oh, it is "useful"; to the real 'owners' of "your" car...
Yeah? What's that; 14 seconds of their profits?
One of the few areas where I favor a "One-world" standard.
I wonder if it was done on purpose after it came out that the Pentagon had typo'd ".ml" instead of '.mil' and exposed a lot of sensitive emails...
Correct answer.
Using any form of biometric 'login' under the US's "justice" system is supremely ill-advised.
When the dust settles, it'll be just like Ma Bell in 1975: There will be the "Internet Company" just like there was the Phone Company, with a probable 'bonus' of an extra "National Internet Corporation" modeled on the BBC.
Suddenly it's 1960.
Microsoft, Apple, Amazon and Google have replaced ABC, NBC, PBS and CBS.
Your "personal computer internet appliance" is a black-box running rented software, just like in the 'dumb-terminal time-sharing' era.
The 'hostage-taker' will never be able to duplicate my family's grammar and sentence structure quirks, so I won't care how it "sounds"...
Storage has never been cheaper.
There's going to be a seppuku session in somebody's IT department.
Good points, but we must not relax under the comfortable blanket of "standards", because the Big Boys™ are busily unraveling them.
A prime example is Google's "Chrome" browser, that's weaponized 'web-standards' in the most anti-competitive manner possible. Worse is their bullying of "web standards bodies". This is specifically aimed at neutering Mozilla and independent browser-extension developers who throw up obstacles to their dominance.
Google wants to eliminate the possibility of users avoiding their data-vacuuming, ad- spamming and universal tracking. That's what's behind their endless propaganda about 'speeding up your web experience'.
Once they "succeed", all 'unapproved' extensions, 'users' and browsers will just be "unable to connect" with what used to be the greatest communication and data-sharing system in human history.
Concerned users should become familiar with the politics of "international standards bodies" that affect our ability to use the internet.
Google up "Commercial Signage Displays".
Off to the wrecking-yard and auto-parts house to get more spares for my '99...
If you're going to monitor me like an airline pilot, you can pay me like one.
...and just turn the computer off and wait for the updates to finish.
"Never mind..."
Paste it at the bottom of your "my filters" section. Be sure to "Apply" when done.
...Behaviors and lifestyle choices. They do not rise to the immutable characteristics that qualify for civil-rights protection.
And yes; I've seen the sleazy Wiki edit that attaches "perceived" to the definition of "immutable". 'I just have to believe...' belongs in a child's fairytale book.
Then force the companies to accept convenience-store gift cards....
Communication wasn't "lost", it was thrown away through malpractice.
Nothing on Reddit can be proved to have come from a "user", and it's been that way since the "Great Spezzing of 2016", where 'spez' admitted to falsification and alteration of 'user' content.
