Same. I’m not a conspiracy theorist. However, most top Google results are those garbage sites that are definitely not written by humans. I wonder if search will die soon as bots begin to dominate SEO (more than they already do). The search paradigm will definitely have to change.
I’ve had android phones since the G1. The Nexus One was pretty freaking sweet, but my favorite phone of all time was either the Nexus S or the Nexus 5x. The curved screen on the S was great and it fit into the back pocket of my pants “like a glove”.
I used to use my Blackberry to read Digg every morning in college while waiting for classes to start. It was great in its heyday, but maybe that’s just nostalgia or that I’d not experienced anything quite like it prior.
How do you know it isn’t now? (see: Dead-Internet Theory)
You’re not missing anything but ads. I cannot understand the Sync hype and attribute all posts about it to promotion.
Yeah, that “exclusivity” attitude is the worst. I welcome anyone to the fediverse! The nature of the fediverse prevents any one entity from “fucking it up”, as the image claims; if you don’t like an instance or the instances it federates with, move to a different one that is more in-line with your values.
I was excited to try Sync after all the hype (read: advertising) on Lemmy, saw that it had ads, and noped the fuck out.
You do you, but I’m not gonna use that kind of garbage. Ads don’t “keep apps accessible”. Instead, they poison your mind specifically and suck balls in general. The entire advertisement model is flawed, and certain kinds of people only put up with it because they don’t know better.
This would be so easily bypassed that the whole concept, while technologically cool, is completely useless. Someone could apply a very subtle smoothing filter and then do whatever they wanted with it after via stable diffusion (or use the myriad of alternative methods to remove the “protection”).
I wouldn’t be trying to use or adapt it; it was more of an intellectual curiosity. I haven’t written scrapers or used Tcl, so, yeah, I would be interested to take a peek :-)
I’d like to write something similar, but I’d probably use Lisp or Python.
Are you willing to share the source for said bot?
“Twitter… [is] a goddamn blight.”
If you’re completely new, familiarizing yourself with any guide would be beneficial. A basic search resulted in this and this, which are better than nothing, I suppose. I’d appreciate someone skilled adding their two cents, however, especially concerning common pitfalls and anonymous payment for Usenet providers.
Shillin’ for Pooh again, eh?
Pro-tip: you can block communities that annoy you.
He was talking to Meta before they announced Threads and he signed an NDA. I strongly agree with @CCL@links.hackliberty.org’s opinion that the recent popularity Mastodon has enjoyed has gone to his head.
Put plainly, I don’t trust him at all.
You should check out the book “Daemon” by Daniel Suarez (if you haven’t already). Based on your post, you’d probably like it a lot. There’s a sequel, too: “Freedom”.
I respect your opinion, but I worry that it’ll lead to violence, which doesn’t really solve anything.
Thanks! I’ve just asked, so here’s hoping.
I can’t clear it; the button does nothing.
Same thing just happened with IVPN :-\
