Instagram has long been accused of stealing features from platforms such as TikTok, Snapchat, and Twitter/X. It appears that the company has looked to YouTube for its latest idea: unskippable ads that you have to watch for a period of time before being able to scroll further....
It’s a global issue, but takes many forms. IMHO Iceland is worst in this aspect in the nordics. I like Denmark the most. Every place I’ve lived has it’s own set of problems.
Joe Biden will this week sign an executive order to temporarily close the southern US border to asylum seekers in a sharp political U-turn aimed at winning support on a key voter concern in a presidential election year....
Sam Altmann is not an AI expert, he’s a CEO. He’s a venture capitalist and salesman, why should he know a single thing other than the content of a few emails and slidedecks about AI?

My argument for piracy and a lot of other things is this; these things are stolen from us.
The ISP overcharging me, the capitalists operating on infrastructure built with public funds, every part of the chain is designed to rob us of the prosperity that is rightfully ours.
What I’d like to do is use scalable architecture to create protocols, nodes, frameworks and components for alternate systems of finance and economy in which we can implement a new tamper proof system which doesnt allow for this. Why the fuck are we even using the old one? It’s like using a bank that steals 99% of your salary!
