:( sorry to hear that. Out of curiosity, what app/UI are you using?

Not sure what I expected. For the equally curious with no foresight:

I remain skeptical of using solely LLMs for this, but it might be relevant: DARPA is looking into their usage for C to Rust translation. See the TRACTOR program.

Joking for real, or seriously for real? The vast majority of people that used twitter are still using twitter. This applies to users in the united states, of course, but it especially applies to those in the entire rest of the world, where elon’s shit largely hasn’t crossed the culture/language barrier, or doesn’t matter to people.

I wouldn’t take a cybertruck if it was free

You’re being ridiculous, why would you seriously think that? That kind of internet opinion doesn’t hold up in real life. I would absolutely take a free Cybertruck, I’ve long dreamed of making my own car bomb.

Bitch doesn’t have the courage to step foot where he knows he’d get fucked. He’d rather use his money to destabilize it until they give him a red carpet welcome, which they very well might eventually, considering how the AfD is doing.

Right? The tech-user bubble is funny, sometimes. The average TikTok user couldn’t care less about privacy, they care about having an app that delivers the experience they want. The reason many aren’t going to Instagram reels and Youtube shorts is because their algorithms and content are awful.

Similar vibes as “Why are Twitter users going to Bluesky and not Mastodon? Are they stupid?”

Reminds me of people who said Amazon deforestation warranted a “military intervention.” Hey, be funny if trumpet added another country to his want-to-invade list, wouldn’t it? Yet folks still feel bothered when I say people in rich countries don’t really care all that much about poorer ones.

Don’t know. Article asks for sign-in, but much as I like 404’s reporting, I just don’t feel like creating one more account right now, so all I got is they’re unhappy and talking. Maybe they’re talking to people who can do something about it, maybe they’ll do more soon—organizing takes time, after all—or maybe they’ll do fuck all 'cause that’s what we usually do.

Well, yeah, if tech workers unionized, maybe they’d have some leverage. Let’s hope they get to that before the next absurd move from big tech? Fingers crossed, 143rd time’s the charm.

First theyre going after trans people.

That first appears to be skipping over a whole lot of people who’ve been getting fucked for a long time.

Sorry, I can’t tell if you’re serious or not.

It’s extremely unlikely that facebook has in place a system that allows any lowly engineer to cause such damage alone. No hard drive hosting unique files no one else has, without backups, without security, and so on.

If you’re a billion dollar corp that depends on an important recipe to make your product, you’re not leaving the only copy of it on front desk with no oversight.

I don’t see how deleting files would work as a form of protest. Would probably get you in trouble, though.

In fairness, do we know for certain what happened in Facebook back then? Maybe some employees did protest, maybe they’re the same people protesting now, even. Or they quit. Thing is, LGBT issues make engaging articles. Third world suffering? Eh, it depends.

Yet, I agree with the overall point because this is the crux of the matter: on average, one of these simply matters more—one way or another, see transphobes cheering—for people of this subgroup. This is us.

The usual notes apply: good on them for protesting, big media isn’t helping, fully ethical employment is like fully ethical consumption.

Kagi seems like a circus. Search quality? It’s interesting. Worth supporting? Up to you, but know that your money will still go to actual search result providers first, and what’s left goes to people who care more about shirts than privacy.

Which marketing and better how, exactly?

Can anyone please point me an example of Bluesky marketing that isn’t word of mouth or large-event headlines on the news?

The wonders of ActivityPub allow Mastodon users to interact with Lemmy, actually. Wild stuff.

Putting aside control and anecdotes, neither of which would be fair to comment on without more context and a lengthier discussion, this breaks the email metaphor a bit, doesn’t it?

The Fediverse is just like email, where we all talk to each other, except Outlook blocked Gmail because MS and Google had a fight during a meeting so you’re gonna have to migrate to Yahoo or learn to self-host.

That’s not necessarily a criticism, I just find it funny.

Maybe you’re already aware, but bluesky doesn’t operate with instances like in ActivityPub land.

I’ve seen many people I believe are using their own PDS, but yes, discoverability is likely better because a relay is meant to aggregate and share all data it can (look up “bluesky firehose”).

P.S. Mastodon’s devs are part of a new initiative to improve this area of the Fediverse. Because it’s so recent, we’ll have to wait to see how it goes.

Speaking of features, I’m somewhat surprised more people aren’t interested in Misskey and co., especially compared to Mastodon’s overwhelming share of the Fediverse pie.

Maybe on Bluesky they start with one person less calling them tards.
