Maybe could set up a donations/sponsorship page similar to what has: https://joinmastodon.org/sponsors

That encouraged me & others to donate and attracted corporate sponsors (I think someone just donated $100,000 or ¥15,728,365.80 recently). via @darnell https://darnell.moe/notes/9sq22w9724

Russia 🇷🇺: Putin Splits Up Wagner Mercenary Group

After Vladimir Putin allegedly assassinated Yevgeny Prigoshin after Prigoshin led an insurrection against the Russian 🇷🇺 Federation, it appears that Putin has already divided & conquered the mercenary group that embarrassed him on the international stage months ago. The thousands of the former Wagner forces have splintered into at least four groups, according to two U.S. officials granted anonymity to discuss sensitive…

This lawsuit is a minor headache for #Amazon. Allegedly a woman was fired for doing her job which was keeping Amazon’s #ArtificialIntelligence from using content illegally (probably copyrighted material).

Her boss reportedly did not like that “do-gooder attitude” & demoted her, before firing her during maternity leave. This case could open up lawsuits against Amazon’s #AI in the future.

Pet peeve: “podcasts” that offer no RSS feed and don’t show up in the major podcast directories. Folks, if the show is only available via a closed, proprietary platform, IT’S NOT A PODCAST.

Too Many Emails!!!

Gmail Icon Due to my foolishness of accepting: Email subscriptions from various news agencies Promos from companies I did business with (just once) Vacation deals I signed up for while seeking travel destinations Random Substack emails from people who somehow add me as a subscriber …I am now receiving hundreds of emails a day! As in every day! Those are the emails that make it to my various inboxes & are not rendered as spam.

#Meta should just offer people in #Europe (& the rest of the planet) a simple option: either opt in to have your personal information sold to advertisers, or pay a fee to use #Facebook, #Instagram, #WhatsApp & #Threads.

It works for #YouTube (I pay them to avoid ads), as well as other news organizations. It’s really that simple.

@madargon We also do not have a right to use their services either. We usually pay to use services, whether it be phone, flying, movies, etcetera.

The same applies here too.

darnell,
@darnell@one.darnell.one avatar

@madargon People find them useful so they exist. The ad business model is for those who want to freely use their services.

Hosting & using social networks costs money, & without a way to generate revenue most of the Internet would not exist.

Paying to not see ads or have your info siphoned off is a great alternative.

darnell,
@darnell@one.darnell.one avatar

@madargon Using their services is a choice. If you do not like or trust them, do not use their platforms (it is that simple really).

Years ago I had issues with ’s ad policies (I think they code named it beacon) so I stopped using their services & eventually deleted my account.

I did the same for as well. If ever gets to the place where I do not find value in the platform, I will leave.

These services are option, not critical for my life.
