Almost like it is not a for-profit company, and the investors interests are not a priority...

Here's an AI bot's summary:

Cory Doctorow gave a talk about the concept of "ensh*ttification" - how internet platforms start out good, then abuse users to benefit businesses, then abuse businesses to benefit themselves, until they die.

He argues today's big tech firms like Facebook and Google have undergone ensh*ttification, withdrawing value from users and business partners to benefit shareholders.

Doctorow says ensh*ttification happens due to lack of competition, companies' ability to "twiddle the knobs" with no transparency, and laws that criminalize modifying platforms.

He proposes halting consolidation, limiting companies' twiddling abilities, and restoring the right to modify platforms through "adversarial interoperability."

This will help shift control of technology from giant companies to small ones, co-ops, nonprofits and user communities.

Tactics include blocking mergers, mandating open APIs, government procurement rules favoring interoperability, and rolling back laws against modifying platforms.

The goal is a "new good internet" that succeeds the old open internet and avoids the pitfalls of today's walled gardens. Doctorow urges spreading these ideas to seize opportunities in future crises.

WTH kind of a word sallad is this shit

I have different experience with Vivaldi, been using it for years, and it's amazing.

“Citogenesis” I chuckled:) XKCD is great

Oh and here’s the wiki article on the subject! With a link to the comic no less:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circular_reporting

This is grossly misleading reporting.

The deaths were caused by a stampede. Very small number of people were fired on after approaching a military checkpoint and after warning fires.

Still a tragedy, but nothing like what the title makes it out to be.

This is the guy who went on record claiming that it is somehow NATO's fault for Putin's Russia invading Ukraine. Do not trust him with anything related to politics, he is out of his mind.

That's not the description of a stampede which would result in killing 100+ people, even if true.

We will probably never know exactly what happened, as we only have IDF- and Hamas-controlled reporting of it, both obviously heavily skewed.

But the claim that this is Israeli military simply shooting to murder 100+ people is to say the least obviously unsubstantiated.

False.

The pedestrian in that accident was struck by a human driver, hit and run, THEN they hit the Waymo, which did a pull-over maneuver. It did drag the victim (of the HUMAN) in error. It did not strike them at all.

In fact the actual real issue was the C-suite trying to cover it up, intead of being upfront with the DMV. THAT’S what got Waymo in trouble. All fired now, as expected, the shitheads.

A stampede caused by Israel forces opening fire on the crowd.

It is not helpful that you just made that up on the spot. Not even close to what you linked to, or what both sides claim.

Good! Saying "I will not condemn Palestinian resistance" at this specific time is a quite literal endorsement of Hamas. It's the only "resistance" and it is 100% based on slaughter of innocents (both Israeli and Palestinians).

A really horrible stance to take, with the very much expected consequences.

When you have 100+ feeds you really want to avoid reading twice the same entry. It's the single most important feature in an RSS reader for me.

I am not excusing anybody, I am just tired of the blatant propaganda with zero reliable sources.

What you describe is horrible, and also it is simply not real, but entirely the result of your imagination. No source claims any of this the way you describe it.

In fact the latest reports describe two separate events, one where the stampede occurred, with no IDF involvement, and another event where there was a shooting at a check point. There is NO way to know what exactly happened from behind the keyboard. At this point all your claims are only the reflection of your beliefs, and nothing more.

Hamas is an internationally recognized terrorist organization, which just executed a bunch of civilians on a music fest. There is no grey area and no room for interpretation.

You sure it's not disabled for AndroidPolice.com? I'm still seeing it.

Ugh, an ad-block force wall. No visit.

I was talking about Chomsky. He is not trustworthy.

Maybe the released few were treated well. Very few out of hundreds. Hamas have not deserved an ounce of trust, don't give it to them for free.
