Just write some content without no soul and not a shred of humanity present. I.e. use the platform as intended.

idk, China is pretty good at providing cheap electronics at least. But certainly would be better if they were more properly leaked.

Good they got caught, good that they leaked important tech from the walled garden of Samsung. All around fantastic news.

A unique fermentation method being piloted in Japan transforms edible leftovers and scraps into sustainable feed for pigs.

You might’ve missed a detail.

They already have something kinda like this. All public wifis require that you sign in with phone number and SMS-verification. It might not be as air-tight as whatever the article is about (like a chad I only read headlines), but in practice it seems pretty darn tight IMO.

Back in the day, before streaming was a thing, there were lots of people saying that they’d gladly pay for content if it was served to them in a convenient way. But why would you pay for a worse experience (at that time physical media, often at lower quality, and lower availability) when you can get a better one for free?

Along came streaming. Lo and behold, piracy decreased. Where the fuck do you even go to pirate music anymore? All the big sites have shut down. Video piracy is kinda still going strong, probably mostly due to bullshit concerning exclusives, but it’s way less than it used to be.

Its their platform, they can do whatever they want with it I guess, but this trend is definitely gonna be a big boost to piracy.

It’s fairly new I think. I ran into it first time a week or two ago when going into a test account I haven’t used for a while.

Shame really, having at least two users is very useful when building bots. Testing user-specific interactions and such.

IMO Discord is the best platform for this right now, which is unfortunate. The little I’ve tried Matrix has not been very impressive (single chatrooms, slow, bad self-hosting experience IMO), IRC is a bit better (though very dated in many regards, esp. user management) but still doesn’t have the categories/channels that make discord nice. And most other chats are proprietary with discord just being the best one.

Which one would you like them to use?

Anything happens anywhere in the world.

The US: “Oh, this is about me!”

News isn’t that he died, it’s that he did so 100 years ago.

Could be difficult. Name is a bit stained.

well that’s fucking dark (and as others have pointed out, misguided - won’t solve a thing)

Why not?

4 000 000 a missile, 100 000x times more expensive than a military drone? what military drone costs $40?

I don’t know what models are in use today, but a Bayraktar TB2 costs 4 million.

You won’t be able to catch one on camera.

I think Twitter is going down, may or may not go bankrupt but I think it will lose relevance. Wonder if it will be replaced. Lots of people (myself included) kinda assume that bluesky, mastodon or some other twitter-like service will take over. But Twitter is not really necessary, so I don’t think it’s a given that something will take its place.

As a time sink, more multimedia-oriented platforms like Reddit/Lemmy, Instagram, Tiktok or Youtube, seem more attractive.

I get the same all the time. OP reminded me to check today and Jetbrains toolbox had cached a lot of downloads that took up 42 GB in total. yarn folder with 2.3 GB. bazel folder with 15 GB (apparently used for building Anki),7 GB paru clones.

All in all it added up to 82 GB.

Right before the Mozilla buyout, Fakespot added a clause to their TOS giving them the right to give user data to Mozilla.

There’s one possible interpretation of that, which would be my guess, that this was somehow necessary as part of the purchase. Before purchasing a company the company being purchased has to show the buyer what their assets are and give them a fair and accurate representation of what the company is. It’s possible that this clause was necessary in order to enable this.

Or GDPR in the English speaking world.

I think the DVD division finally shut down a few weeks ago. Read about it in the same breath that I learned it still existed.
