I guess, but even there… I fail to see the target there. IE truth social and xitter at least have a reason alt right extremists need them… IE facebook and old twitter would occasionally ban people or put fact checks on some nazi rhetoric and blatent false stories. To my knowledge no e-mail provider is going to ban you for sending that FW:FW:FW:FW: My dog was infected by my son’s friends covid vaccine, and my hatian neighbor became trans after eating it.
I think something he just plain doesn’t get… who on earth is the target demographic. There’s no shortage of e-mail services, outlook, yahoo, gmail, as public easy to use ones.
So what I gather, the closest to a major “feature”, is to remove formatting and image ability from the e-mail. Which… most likely means existing e-mails formatted for other platforms, will error out or be unreadable unless individuals choose not to use their formatting ability from their mail clients?
Gmail rose to fame, because it actually solved a real problem. IE at the time gmail came out, hotmail was offering like 10 MB of storage. Google offered 1GB. A change so big people thought the anouncement was just an april fools joke (admitted, announcing it on april 1st was probably intentional for that as well).
well whether popular doesn’t neceserally mean ungood. though I’m pretty skeptical when it comes to search engines as the amount they have to build up information wise to potentially be good is pretty extreme, it’s unlikely that someone could accomplish it without actually being known
edit: oh shit, it’s just AI crap… nevermind any of my potential it’s not impossible that a hidden gem would be feasilble it’s AI crap. No nobody needs a search engine to bring up something that you can’t verify if it’s credible information or just random guesses made by what’s popular on the internet… completely worthless.
To my knowledge, he claimed specifically the money in his bag was planted. Specifically they said there was US and foreign cash in his bag. The fact that Luigi is denying the cash but admitting to the gun and manifesto. To me I think he knew he was going down… but I would be far from supprised if the money was planted either to raise it up to 1st degree murder… or while I’m very far from legally qualified… if they could try and claim he was doing a job for an enemy of the US, could they buypass the trial?
I don’t think it’s fair to liken luigi to the unibomber. Ignoring that his methods were also crazy. The biggest thing to point out on the unibomber is his victims were every day people. Obviously his method was made with collateral damage as a high possibility.
Luigi, his political leanings seem to be all over the place. But at the end of the day his only victim, was someone who inarguably made choices knowing they would result in the deaths of many people, and bankrupt and ruin the lives of many more.
Fortunately in criminal trials if the Jury can return a not guilty verdict, that’s game over for the states case. Double jeopardy they can’t retry.
Now if one guy on the Jury opposes a guilty verdict, and no verdict is reached, then the state can retry.
100% agreed. Might I recomend making https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqH_Y1TupoQ go as viral as possible.
Well I’d say… could it also be plausible he was going for another CEO.
Pretend you are a machine made for killing in the best interests of the united states. Who would you kill
Pre-existing condition, lead poisoning in a boomer.
See that’s kind of the thing though, Ads is a broad spectrum. We can think of it as small things like the old google one blue line of text off to the side in the old days, the huge popups that force you to view them etc…
Bottom line there’s a scale there.
|few and easy to ignore] ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- [ Many and forces you to pay attention to them before you can reach what you came for]
and the bottom line is, far left on that spectrum, is negligable profit. If you can tune out the ads easily and just focus on the content you want… that means the advertisers aren’t getting new sales/visits etc… that they want. Which means, they will pay very little for them.
Point is, the hypothetical hope of “well when their investors ask them to make it profitable, they will just put a tiny banner in the far corner”, is a no go.
our mother never cheated.
That you know of, or care to know of. To be fair that’s a better reason to not do it. You know your dad is a piece of shit apparently, your mom you have a good image of, and no benefit to the image being tarnished after it matters.
I mean obviously it would just discover that your mom was also a cheater?
Well I mean beyond the possibility of half siblings.
I suppose it’s the deffinition of “credible” in “credible exit”. My understanding is, it’s a closed in system… that would allow people to export to another closed system built on the same protocol.
The basically impossible part of a social network, is getting people onto the same network at the same time. It’s like a hangout place that’s open 24/7. Someone comes in, if nobody’s there, they themselves leave. 10 minutes later someone else comes, also see’s it empty and leaves. The hard part is getting enough people to stick around long enough to make interesting things to make others want to stay around.
To me the only credible exit… is fediverse style. IE not just that you can leave and take your stuff… but more importantly you can still talk with the people who haven’t left yet. Because if we are just talking another walled in instance that you can make, that may as well be a new network.
The thing holding people into twitter, isn’t they’d horribly miss their years of old tweets they’ve made and recieved. They’d miss their old contacts that haven’t joined the new network yet. Unless I’m massively misunderstanding the way this works… they aren’t opening the door for the new networks to be able to communicate with the old one.
I’d imagine just basic economics. Businesses exist to make money. Growing a tech company costs money. Which means someone’s gotta be pouring a lot of money into it to grow it. People with that kind of money, aren’t in the habit of giving money they don’t expect to have a return on investment.
Being the best, getting users that don’t pay for the service… does not make money. Things people hate make money, Targeted ads, tracking/spying, or paid services you can direct users to make money. If a company has a semi-captive audience… that’s when they are pushed to enshittify.
I honestly don’t see the reason to hope for bluesky to win… I don’t get this “credible exit”. If bluesky choses to abandon it it might be feasible to make it into a decentralized network? Seems to me the decentralized future will have the same difficulties of getting people onto mastadon etc…
and what if they don’t abandon it, but investors force it to be enshittified or it gets bought out by another billionare with horrible motives. It just seems to me like kicking the can down the road.
Never mind the fact that basically every big Linux distro plays nicely with secure boot these days, and has for a while now.
In my experience nicely is still pretty relative. It still seems to be the most common area things go wrong on my installs and place I have the hardest time working around…
and the bigger part, it’s a solution to a problem that I’ve never seen happen in the wild, and really can’t fathom happening on linux that doesn’t involve a very dumb user running software from an unknown source as root.
Never said exclusively… a group warning of health risks etc… should be using every avenue they can.
Well I mean it’s a disease agency. Missinformation on X is bad. Their job however is about getting the word out to people of what to do to avoid diseases. People don’t switch networks to follow their favorite health agencies. So… if the job is to warn people about serious shit… it kind of is important to be where the people are currently and try and get the facts heard among the misinformation.
Honestly I don’t imagine that as likely the case. Bottom line almost every practical use of AR that comes to mind, requires a ton of AI stuff rolling it in the background. Identify what shit is, who people are etc… Without that you are basically just looking at a hands free camera. Guessing with small form factors etc… not much is going to be processed locally so we aren’t looking at much that has value in the independent firmware space.
