Off-topic, but…

it occurred to me the other day that Tesla (the actual person) has been exploited by Edison in real life. A century later his name is exploited yet again by another “genius inventor”. I just feel bad for the guy.

Man, this photo sure looks like some weird ai shit… or the burn victim filter?

With respect to Mr. Bunny, this is not saying much. Think about it, how many random picks would it take to find someone who better embodies those values than the orange baboon?

Sadly, besides the bottom line, the only universally relaible motivator for an organization is legislation.

So I keep hearing… Yet, I’m having a hard time believing that most people are even aware of those fancy features, let alone use any of them.

I accept that there are important models implemented as excel sheets. Reimplementing or even attempting to migrate away is viewed as risk. But this is a different argument.

Convincing CEOs is not our job. In general they have neither the obligation nor the habbit to take anything else other than their KPIs into consideration. Convincing elected polititians to legistlate is our job.

Some know already, some will bow to reason, many will do whatever keeps them elected. People will need to re-learn to play the long game.

Why, would a closed account be a problem for them? Imagine one day receiving a short video from your deceised mom saying hi and inviting you back to fb for a chat.

But only if you reactivate your account

Looks promising. Thanks for sharing

It should work both ways donnit?

WD should run their business as they like. Given the simmering ai crash I’d make sure to get payed upfront. As for the other vendors, this is their chance to pick up market share.

Does she know you’re posting her picture without her makeup? 🤣

Another happy NewPipe user here… yeah, AFAIC I’m enjoying YT access with NewPipe while it lasts. The day NewPipe is locked out I’m ditching YT entirely.

I expect I won’t be alone who will switch to PeerTube or another alternative. So hopefully content will remain available 🤞

True that

For Android user I can recommend Newpipe. For the desktop I use FreeTube

Both have occassional issues when YT rolls out their latest enshittification features, but the devs are quite responsive.

Regardless, YT is a loosing battle, so prepare for the day when Google will win this arms race. That is why alternatives like PeerTube are important.

Imagine that 🤣

If anyone wonders why there are so many scams, it’s easy! The average consumer is in general are short sighted, gullible and naive. Of course there will be plenty who will to exploit that.

Nah, I like the Carney idea better.

EU has serious problems with their current internal arrangements, but there is nothing to help people focus than a proper emergency. EU has a fair chance here to develop a working model of how to organize large numbers of small to medium states. Or fall apart and descend into chaos if they don’t.

I mean, who wouldn’t want a mega corp to take over the personality of a loved one after they die? What could be better to help grieving than seeing an upbeat post of a deceised friend or loved one about the latest insurance benefits in your feed. This is some vile, soulless shit even for meta

Never worked with any note taking apps except for Vim with customized snippets and rudamentary helper scripts.

While such an app seems very appealing, I haven’t seen any of them featuring the useful stuff, such as pluggable editor (in my case Vim or NeoVim), template support (day journal, meeting, README etc…), rendered fields (e.g.: today, author, or arbitrary values), support for pandoc rendering, doc metadata management (tags, keywords, related docs, links) or markers in text eg. @TODO etc… (idea being to aut. create lists of paragraps with such markers)

What’s the point of a note taking app that provides help with editing single docs and maybe with rendering to HTML, but doesn’t help organizing and remembering stuff?

Relevant bit illustrating this relation: disaster capitalism is more lucrative than 0% interest rates
