Every time you hear the Reddit CEO talking about how they need to become profitable, remember they raised $250m and then spent the last couple years building this: https://nft.reddit.com

fwiw I think mozilla's response was the most thought out response available to date. https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/852#issuecomment-1648820747

Yes. That's exactly what they would do if it was anyone else. Your bail would be revoked. Or you would be tossed in jail for contempt of court.

Reformatting body to be readable:

A list of recent hostile moves by #Google's #Chrome team; handy for sharing with your entourage, to explain why they should stop using #Chromium / #GoogleChrome and use #Firefox or #Epiphany as their main #web #browser :

Key moments pulled from kagi.com

  • The author is upset and suspicious of Mark Zuckerberg and his new social media platform Threads.

  • The author believes Zuckerberg is not to be trusted given Facebook's history of data harvesting, privacy violations, and spreading misinformation.

  • Facebook bears responsibility for spreading conspiracy theories and radicalizing people.

  • The author thinks the positive reception of Threads is likely due to astroturfing and artificial boosting by Zuckerberg.

  • Zuckerberg has a long history of unethical behavior and putting profits over people.

  • The author worries that Threads will be used to manipulate the 2024 election and spread misinformation.

  • The author thinks people are too easily falling for Zuckerberg's rebranding as a "cool uncle" figure with Threads.

  • The author argues that Zuckerberg has not changed and Threads will eventually become just like Facebook.

  • The author warns against trusting Zuckerberg and Threads, comparing it to a panther that seems cool at first but will eventually harm people.

Re: Stolen. Not stolen comments Copyright law as interpreted judges is still being worked out on AI. Stay tuned if it's defined as stolen or not. But even if the courts decide existing copyright law would define training on artists work as legitimate use. The law can change and it still could swing the way of the artist if congress got involved.


My personal opinion, which may not reflect what happens legally is I hope we all get more control over our data and how it's used and sold. Wether that's my personal data like my comments, location or my artistic data like my paintings. I think that would be a better world

Thread comment hit the nail on the head

english teachers could use this as a textbook example of passive voice ... "see, kids, he acts like these things happened TO him not BECAUSE of him"

Musk: We're still negative cash flow, due to ~50% drop in advertising revenue plus heavy debt load. Need to reach positive cash flow before we have the luxury of anything else.

Small PSA for other DC residents that came here to facepalm. There's a DMV Lemmy server. !washington_dc@dmv.social

This is huge. Now take this data and tag each community with the closest subreddit and use the api to build a thing where you can plug your reddit user and Lemmy user to recreate your reddit account on Lemmy

kagi.com ai summary

  • Former President Donald Trump was indicted on four counts related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results and stay in power.

  • The charges include conspiracy to defraud the U.S., obstruction of an official proceeding, and conspiracy to commit that crime.

  • Prosecutors allege Trump knew his claims of election fraud were false but continued to spread them.

  • Trump is accused of pressuring Vice President Mike Pence and state officials to overturn the election results.

  • The indictment identifies six unnamed co-conspirators who assisted Trump in his efforts.

  • Trump denounced the indictment as politically motivated and compared it to Nazi Germany.

  • If convicted on the most serious charges, Trump could face up to 20 years in prison, though that is unlikely.

An alternative that may address the concerns in comments would be temporary sub communities for loud events

  1. Create community technology_elon_bs@
  2. Mods of parent community inherit sub
  3. Create a pinned post in parent community announcing.
  4. Close sub community when noise goes down.

You think we can solve primary problems? Cause all I see is us driving off a cliff. If we aren't willing to hit the breaks I'll settle for turning the car into a bush

If thats how Lemmy should be used it would be helpful if we could identify yourself across servers. Like email has pgp that lets you sign your emails to prove it's really you. Would be cool. 😎

I got you. https://archive.ph/lgBGz spoiler it's the wsj

Things I love about beehaw

  1. The admins really care about creating good community. And when they make decisions they back it up with documentation on how they came to that decision.
  2. Things you post here get real engagement. It was rare for me to get people engaging with content on Reddit. But here just about everything I've posted has upvotes and comments!

😀 just want to note theres a call out to this debate in the Wikipedia page on copyright infringement. I promise I didn't add that paragraph there. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_infringement

Interesting vox video about geoengineering. I find the coalition of scientists demanding we don't even look at geo eng tech, like zero research into it frustrating. https://youtu.be/EKPFZPyQurA

I didn't know about calckey! The UI is so pretty!!!

Submitting new posts seems to be "coming soon". No issues commenting. I just dropped into chrome to submit, I'm sure he will button it up soon

This seems to be a good topic to plug my GitHub issue that would make !technology@beehaw.org correct clickable links with no extra effort on the users part. I even broke down how to implement that change in the codebase!

Ya that's him. I think this might be a limitation of the fact theyre legit a 20 y/o in college. I'm revealing my biases but a lot of people I know really didn't level out emotionally until their mid to late 20s, myself included.

Good bot.

Bitwarden is supposed to be getting support for passkeys this summer. I hope it comes soon.

Alternative link with more info https://www.axios.com/2023/08/09/twitter-x-trump-account-search-warrant Special counsel served Twitter search warrant for Trump account

Special counsel Jack Smith obtained a search warrant in January for data from former President Trump's Twitter account as part of his investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Twitter was recently found in contempt for delaying compliance with the warrant and ordered to pay a $350,000 fine. The existence of the warrant and Twitter's noncompliance had not been previously disclosed due to a nondisclosure order. Twitter initially objected to the order before providing the requested information past a court deadline. The special counsel is investigating Trump's actions surrounding the transfer of power after the 2020 election. Last week, Trump was indicted on several charges including conspiracy related to interfering with the election certification.
