Wait, this is the description of Anytype! Lol
An ad is something that a 3d party buys to appear on a platform. This is a recommendation by the platform itself, so I would not define it as an ad
Oh, definitely agree with you on that one. I was only defending the right of a platform to suggest content to its users, regardless of what that content is
Reddit shows you communities that you are not subscribed to in your subscription feed.
Yeah, like I said, not spam and not an ad. It’s just an internal algorithmic recommendation
It’s the Babylon Bee. Not spam, not an ad. Maybe shit, but still
You can also use their DNS server without having to install anything
OK I read the bandcamp thing and… It’s not enshittification at all. Can we stop applying the term to every online service that kinda gets slightly worse for some reason or another?
Just in case:
Here is how platforms die: first, they are good to their users; then they abuse their users to make things better for their business customers; finally, they abuse those business customers to claw back all the value for themselves. Then, they die. I call this enshittification
None of those things happened with Bandcamp
You’re probably better off using dedicated websites for each site you need to download videos from.
They are usually ridden with ads, but it’s not a problem if you use uBlock Origin or similar addons
Eugene of Mastodon has signed an NDA with Facebook.
Is this true? Where can I read more about it?
While I kinda like what Bellingcat does, you do have a point. Crowdsourcing decisions rarely lead to good outcomes
But it looks like Proton does not choose the beneficiaries. From their statement:
‘Recipients are nominated by the Proton community and selected based on community feedback. Proton doesn’t nominate the recipients. Recipients cannot be changed after the raffle begins and the fact that some find Bellingcat controversial was not known beforehand.
No, they mean like “kilocelsius” or “millicelsius”, which makes them prefixes
GUYS, IT’S HAPPENING
This looks genuinely interesting
Axios is very good. Very dry journalism - almost crossing into news agency territory -, very fact-based, always mentioning the different positions on the matter at hand. They do talk about politics but you can just visit the other sections. They are especially big on tech stuff
EDIT: For how to get news, I use RSS. Inoreader in particular lets you subscribe to entire sites or just specific pages. It’s possibly the best piece of software I’ve ever tried
I don’t know about the team, but to motivate the players you can always decide to permanently install “anti-cheat” software directly into user’s kernels. THAT will make them happy.
Also, did you know that the Riot client does not have an uninstaller? If you want to get rid if it, you have to search for all its files across your system and delete them manually. They are in at least 3 different folders. It’s great!
It’s not only that. Companies are getting richer and richer and they could easily afford LOTS of employees. Microsoft reached the trillion-dollar market cap and a few days later fired 1900 people
I’m so pumped about this game
Still awesome!
Engy is a relaxing class only if you play on Capture the flag. The other modes are pretty stressful lol. But yeah, I usually also go for the Engy. Scout if I feel particularly adventurous, sometimes Sniper on 2Fort. Spy intrigues me but I’m just not able to use it, I’m a disaster.
