I am a perfectly normal human worm-baby. You have nothing - absolutely nothing - to fear from me.

sbv,

Reddit’s product is the ad sell on their site. People visit the site because of the user generated content. If you’re interacting with other users on Reddit, you’re still contributing to the company’s income.

I’m assuming they don’t charge advertisers for blocked ads, but you never know.

fiat_lux,

Brutal. This is why I don't go near databases unless I have to.

kitonthenet,

Because Christ almighty do you want schools to be nothing but factories that churn out adults ready to go to the office mines

I feel like all fedi software has problematic devs, Calckey

I feel like almost every single piece of software has some problematic dev that has racism, transphobia, or both. I recently read a post about the calc key devs and sighed *facepalm. It is honestly really annoying cause I want friends to use Fedi but than you can pull up a whole laundry list of problems with the devs and it’s...

I am active on the main calckey.social server since bevor there where 300 users on that server.

I can say that the devs off calckey( now firefish) are not reactionary or a problem.
They react quick to moderation and server problems. The care for the community and marginalized people. There are queere people part of the team.

Buuuut, if you dont like it you can use Hajkey or iceshrimp(both forks of calckey).

Xariphon,

It's all arbitrary and most of it is based on nothing but cultural assumptions. Almost everything people think they know about teenagers, even the existence of "teenagers" as a group, can be traced to culture or marketing far more concretely than anything inherent or biological.

As others have said, there are no solid principles backing practically any of this. It's all junk science and looking for confirmation of assumptions.

sarsaparilyptus,

We already have an Everything App that allows you to execute all the different functions of your phone, it’s called the operating system. The proposed app would just be a smaller, shittier OS with fewer functions and no choices. Elon is a failed Steve Jobs—which is depressing because Jobs was also a charlatan—who thinks “what if it was one thing” is actually the answer the all technology, because he doesn’t understand technology as well as he thinks. Pro tip: carrying around 1 device instead of a cell phone, a pager, an mp3 player, and a PDA is helpful. Consolidating different functions that have no reason to interplay with each other into a big mess is not.

tl;dr it’s shit from a butt

It would be great to be able to merge communities and filter duplicates. Kind of like multireddit.

  1. Area 51 - a real USAF research facility where cutting edge aircraft were tested in the mid 20th century. People in the area truly did see Unidentified Flying Objects, in the sense that they saw aircraft the likes of which they had until then believed were impossible.
  2. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Lazar who single-handedly reinvigorated the UFO conspiracy theories long after Area 51 had concluded most of its Cold War era secret tests.
amio,

No, for several reasons. First off, open source is open source (code), as opposed to peeking at the compiled machine code/bytecode/whatever, or actively reverse engineering it. At that point it's no longer the source. Depending on tech and compilers, code could be very hard to read once compiled. In many cases, any descriptive names and comments are history. Some people try to make it actively harder to figure out (obfuscation, DRM) on top of that.

After that, a lot of the principial difference comes from licensing and such, "open source" is usually differentiated from "source available" but where you can't really "legally" do anything with it other than look.

Finally. Maybe the world's biggest store, the world's biggest CDN and webhost, and the world's biggest logistics network shouldn't be under one roof.

The world's biggest store is Walmart, the world's biggest cdn is Akamai, and the world's biggest logistics network is DHL.

HexTrace,

The complaint is likely to focus on challenges to Amazon Prime, Amazon rules that the FTC says block lower prices on competing websites, and policies the FTC believes force merchants to use Amazon’s logistics and advertising services, according to some of the people.

Relevant part of the article - they're not going near AWS or the entertainment/filming side of things, just the retail side it looks like.

Even if Amazon loses every part of a lawsuit like this it won't materially affect their bottom line, so the headline seems like clickbait to me.

Good. Do Meta & Google next.

It tends to be the same as anywhere else. The only reason to use it is the flexibility they offer with delivery dates with Prime.

Semi-Hemi-Demigod,

The problem is that while consumers may like Prime it uses its market dominance to control retailers and producers. That's exactly what anti-trust was designed to do since Carnegie.

CVE-2023-2640

Needs a user account on the system (even unprivledged accounts) via overlayfs

Overlayfs allows one, usually read-write, directory tree to be overlaid onto another, read-only directory tree. All modifications go to the upper, writable layer. This type of mechanism is most often used for live CDs but there is a wide variety of other uses.

Brands that don’t buy enough Twitter ads will lose verification (www.theverge.com)

another change to Twitter’s ad policy. Starting August 7th, advertisers that haven’t reached certain spending thresholds will lose their official brand account verification. According to emails obtained by the WSJ, brands need to have spent at least $1,000 on ads within the prior 30 days or $6,000 in the previous 180 days to...

Clever way of protesting it.

DarkThoughts,

A Reddit spokesperson declined to comment about this year’s edition of r/Place, telling Polygon via email “redditors are going to reddit.”

Primary takeaway from the whole "protest" and why it isn't going to change anything.

aeternum,

well, at least they're not making a lemon party.

C4RP3_N0CT3M,

"The researchers did not have complete data—the linked data didn't contain a cause of death or vaccination status." Hmm, mighty bold claim there guys.

You missed an important bit:

But, they could evaluate excess weekly deaths by age, state, county, and party affiliation. They found that the gap in excess deaths was larger in counties with lower vaccination rates, suggesting that lack of vaccination among Republican voters may partly explain the higher death rates.

520,

OSM is basically Wikipedia in map form. It uses public domain or donated map data and anyone can contribute.

It is very much a competitor to Google Maps.
