That can only be done after the fact, and people can just create new ones constantly can they not? There needs to be a different pro-active defense to watch for the signs of manipulation and counter them as they happen.
Can confirm humidity doesn't help. Salt water drying on your skin can also make it worse, just a fun fact, so rinse off as often as you can when leaving the water to help prevent it.
Also these people are insane. I'll take a dry heat over humidity I can't hardly breathe through any day. Sweat exists for a reason, humidity won't let you benefit from it.
Not sure it's a great idea when a competing app is called Liftoff and uses a rocket already though. I like the icon in general but it might lead to confusion when it fits a competing app more accurately.
As bad as this may seem, and not to try to downplay it, this seems like a good time to remind people that this kind of vulnerability isn't limited to cars charging at public spaces. Any time you connect devices to anything in a space you don't control, you're vulnerable. That goes for public wifis (many of which are just businesses farming your data + hacker risks), and public charging stations that could have compromised chargers with malware.
Can you actually argue this or are you just parotting what other people parrot on social media? Databases require trust between parties, for example, so that's one of many, many reasons they don't replace one of the use cases.
I definitely don't think something like that should be used to only show one emotion though. If AI were used to control content based on how it makes people feel it should try to balance, not control how we feel. Give us an equal amount of everything.
It's not good to cloak ourselves in only feelgood stories and lies that sound nice and ignore all the bad stuff just because an algorithm wants us to feel nice and cozy. If no one cares about the bad stuff, the bad stuff gets worse.
Good for them. Seeing that shit so early in life desensitized too many people in my generation in the worst ways and that's the last thing humanity needs right now.
Do they seriously have 2k employees? I'd kill to know what all of their jobs are and what each of them does day to day. From what I've heard from mods and from what we've seen I can't imagine they were all doing much.
Same. I understand why it's like that, all instances need to be able to see the information. But there must be a way to do this without the instances understanding exactly which users are doing what. Something like zkproofs or hashes or whatever (I'm not a programmer, clearly), there is surely some way to do it while maintaining some privacy.
It gives a lot of data on users to see exactly what they upvote and downvote. Especially with AI being able to go through that data very quickly. It wouldn't be hard to find out a user's political leanings, general IRL location, age, gender, so many personal details they don't want to share that could be used against them through advertising or worse.
All the mindless circlejerking and echochambers. I hope the federation helps split up communities about the same topic which should help prevent echochambers from being as strong, and keep people seeing more information and opinions about the same topic.
I was so tired of seeing blatant lies and misinformation being spread just because it fit people's narratives. Like those "dawn project" tesla videos, people hate musk so much (which I'm sure all the much worse billionaires love), so they feel they must hate teslas too, so they keep spreading those videos that have been debunked and proven incredibly questionable that were made by a competitor that's been failing to compete. That's just one tiny example. Don't even get me started on the outright lights and misinformation people spread about crypto.
And of course if anyone ever tried to correct anyone, share actual facts, real articles from trusted sources, anything that went against a particular thread's circlejerk, you would just be harassed, personally insulted, and downvoted immediately. It was so hilarious and sad spending time responding to someone's bullshit with real information and a real argument just for them to do a one-liner personal insult based on nothing, because they knew they didn't actually have anything but the circlejerk is all that really ever mattered.
I'm ranting, but this attitude people have of just not caring about reality when the lies fit what the circlejerking hivemind wants is one of my biggest gripes about modern internet and it's incredibly dangerous. It's exactly the mindset that trump supporters have that allows them to believe whatever the fuck they want and that led to people dying at the capitol, and it's the type of mindset that will eventually lead to far worse things if social media companies don't do more to combat misinformation and echochambers.
Man I'd love that. I feel like we will soon honestly. I just hope the lemmy/Kbin apps bring these other federated projects inside, so we can do it all on one app too.
Surprised no one has linked this yet.
