A lot of people seem to be opposed to this argument, seeing it as a kind of government overreach, but I think it can work if done correctly. Things like USB and HDMI are already governed by collectives of companies, I think having the government work together with them can be beneficial for both consumers and producers alike.
At least in my country, google is going balls-to-the-walls mode with the chrome psyop. Like every third ad on youtube is an ad for chrome. And if you're a little older, you'll remember their countless other ad campaigns that propelled chrome into the mainstream. The only reason so many people use chrome is because they're brainwashed into it.
Yes this is so confusing to me. There was a blast of attention about it when it was launched that lasted like a week max and then everyone completely forgot about it. I thought it was a short-run experiment that got shut down. What reason is there to use threads? Are there any actual humans who still use it? I've never visited it but something tells me that it's just like reddit with at most 100 real users and the rest is just bots replying to bots.
I tried using it with a friend, and it completely nuked my phone's battery, while my friend's phone silently killed it (likely for using too much battery). I understand that truly privacy-respecting messengers will always use slightly more power than apps that use the google notification thing, but simplex is just a complete power hog beyond any reasonable limit. Hopefully they fix it at some point, it seems like a pretty solid messenger otherwise, and their approach to privacy and anonymity is unparalleled, at least in theory.
Invent some incredibly specific but entirely false fact (e.g. the kingdom of bolivia was once ruled by King Aron the Benevolent before he was brutally murdered by his cousin-in-law over a dispute about the colonies)
Embed said fact in invisible font among material you own the copyright to
Let AI bots suck it up as training data
Ask random AI bots about King Aron the Benevolent of Bolivia and sue the companies since you now have proof that they violated your copyright
I mean this probably wouldn't work from a legal standpoint, but whatever. It's nice to image.
This sums up my experience as well. It's never been healthy, but at least it used to be cheap and tasty. But nowadays mcdonalds is so expensive I almost consider it a luxury, and the plastic-looking sauces and mystery meat are in no way appetizing (tho that might just be me getting older and changing preferences as opposed to the actual food getting worse)
I don't have a problem with people launching meme coins for fun. They're consenting adults, if they want to risk thousands of dollars on a meme, that's their choice. But an elected official who has the power to pass laws regulating cryptocurrency doing it? Yikes.
I think you used to be able to "bootstrap" a proton account with a mail.ru account (which needs no prior email or phone), but I don't think that works any more
It's a huge pain in the ass getting things like DMARC and DKIM and whatever to work. Without those, most providers won't even deliver your messages. But luckily, there are websites that help you check and fix your configuration
Even once you do get these things set up correctly, most providers will send your outgoing messages straight to the recipient's spam folder
That being said, I believe most providers will mark you as "not spam" if the other person initiates the conversation. So this could be a non-problem if you're making an email for your business and putting it on business cards or something.
Mullvad (VPN provider) self-hosts their support email, and they seem to be doing fine.
This is exactly how modern fascists operate. The majority of people will brush it off with "It's just a joke" or "It was an accident", but the extremists in the crowd know that it wasn't, and they feel right at home. There was a video on youtube called something like "the pewdiepipeline" that explained this perfectly.
Huh, I thought you were joking, but I just checked on google translate, and apparently the correct way to pronounce "threw" really is the same as "through". I always pronounced "threw" a bit more in the front of my mouth so it has a different sound. Crazy stuff.
What is there to be confused about? They can speak english correctly, but they simply refuse doing so due to a lack of respect for the language. Almost every professor at my uni is also like this: they have the skills to follow grammatical rules, but they don't owe it to anyone to actually do it. This is normal.
I hate how we allowed these ghouls to make the word "nonstick" synonymous with teflon/PFAS. It makes it sound like if you use a regular pan, you constantly have to scrape off burnt food or something. That's just not true, a well-seasoned regular pan can be just as "nonstick" as one with a PFAS coating. It's a fake non-problem that was invented to sell this garbage that poisons us and the environment. If it was up to me, the executives at dupont and anyone else responsible for this psyop would be sent off to labor camps (with humane working conditions of course)
Doesn't work too well with induction stoves in my experience. Difficult to season, since it doesn't get heated evenly. Fine if you have a gas stove tho!
This sounds like a great thing for deaf people and just in general, but I don't think AI will ever replace anime fansub makers who have no problem throwing a wall of text on screen for a split second just to explain an obscure untranslatable pun.
