if it’s mandatory to make an instagram account still, there’s literally no point to use it over instagram

It’s joever

They’re not really backing their claim up though in regards to “related to admins” and “admins are deleting other people’s warnings”.
And as far as I know the torrent has been pulled even.

Sometimes I check out /r/technology and /r/worldnews through libdirect proxy, as well as the slightly more occasional tech-support hunt, but I don’t feel the need to interact with it.

Saw a thread of people circlejerking “fuck spez” and giving a bunch of rewards to each other under a thread where /r/space was reannounced, and I was so surprised these people thought they were doing anything

Could be very “useful” for VR hardware I think (for better or for worse)
As the article says, no doubt a snails-pace journey as W11 still needs to expire in 10 years at the very least

Sorry, (now edited) I had stressed it from the sub-title a bit as well

What do you mean doing monotonous tasks for a week so you can get 2 bucks isn’t engaging?!

Entirely speculation, but I think this might be why some of the dominoes are already falling?
Like maybe all the ads pulled out of Twitter and saw that it didn’t impact the ad companies very much?
If so, it could be the true end to Web 2.0

I’m no expert, but I found this blogpost insightful: BlueSky is cosplaying decentralization

The more I read about BS’s protocol, the more I think this is done on purpose.
Why? Because it allows BS to pay lip service to decentralization, without actually giving away the power in the system.
[…]
Another pretty good sign that BS’s decentralization is actually b.s. is the fact that the Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) used by BlueSky are currently “temporarily” not actually decentralized. The protocol uses something imaginatively called “DID Placeholder”. If I were a betting man I would bet that in five years it will keep on using the centralized DID Placeholder, and that that will be a root cause of a lot of shenanigans.
[…]
it decentralizes the cost to the central authority by pushing data load onto volunteers, while planning to keep control by being the biggest kid on the “reach” block.

they do now mfer

Making people unaddicted to twitter deliberately is definitely a W

I really like being able to confirm that something isn’t made up or blown out of proportion, being able to quickly check stuff like ‘how many people even agree with this take (a lot of times people leave out the engagement of a post)’ and ‘is this a genuine person in the first place (check out their profile or other posts)’ to not poison discourse with made-up issues
That said, as others in this thread have pointed to, libdirect should be encouraged so they can discourage traffic to the actual site
e: though nitter sadly seems to be out of commission for new tweets, rip

… Switch Up!

I’m kinda pissy cause the guy never even responded to being made aware of data like this and that
(i feel confident that he saw my comment cause he replied directly at my first one in the thread)

Seems like sensibly covering their asses given that it’s still legally grey (read: noone has brought a significant enough court case) so I wouldn’t be surprised to see more opinions like this start to pop up from various big media hosts.

Article absolutely doesn’t go into why someone might’ve thought it was bad, nice meme

my opinion nobody asked for, as someone who played it:
think the main story is great and that it touches upon a lot of cyberpunk themes in a very faithful way, not personally into GTA type gameplay and openworld, so that was a loss for me, but in general the world felt empty (why i tend not to like openworld) and the combat basic especially in comparison to anything promised a year before launch.
It also had some cute sidemissions here and there, particularly the Ghost in the Shell easteregg is tragic, and I enjoyed the sentient car (though I wish I could’ve been hanging out with my AI car alongside my tulpa)

MY HOUSE
Had to get demolished to make way for a lightrail
kinda cool to have the key to a place that no longer exists at least

he really said nah, didnt elaborate and hit us with Matt Taibbi
e: y’all mad but now I’m the only one to archive it, for the record, he linked to this saying that it’s conclusively proven to be a lab leak, specifically saying “Nah,” to OP’s link without elaborating how one was more valid than the other or anything
