It stinks that what seems like the most critical reporting lands behind paywalls.

You pay for WordPress.com though. That’s crazy to offer a paid service and use that data in AI training.

Yeah, I don’t like a guy who consistently tries to embody “move fast, break stuff” in the places I least want that to be the case.

These companies are just miserable to talk to, trying to stay out of the legal handling themselves by being mum, passing along the reports.

You all can downvote me but if you're not interested in living in the land of facts, demonstrating any attempt at backdooring Fediverse products beyond "bad money in a think tank", then there's literally not even the smoke to indicate a fire.

Can you share anything that indicates that understanding governance is even tangentially related to backdooring these products or the teams behind them? Is the best response really "wait four years and see"?

That hardly means they’re investigating how to take over instances… These egghead think tanks will do research on anything that matches a couple buzzwords and this is one of them.

Someone’s researching governance in a federated environment and that’s scary because…?

This is the worst part to me. All this just to “cloud sync” or something silly.

It’s about the intersection of their app, their rewards systems and the dark patterns in the whole system that lead to them accruing a lot of money that they don’t really deserve. That’s pretty much a tech story.

Fun device but I feel like we’ve most past the longing for physical keyboards.

Badass!

I might be able to help here. Is it outbound or inbound networking? Is there a ticket number you’d be okay sharing?

With how bad Lemmy federates across other platforms, even those still federating won’t be seen on Threads lol

Especially since this was what was touted as the solution when spiking high speed rail in California… Drives me mad.

I always hate policy talk trying to split the hairs of Nazism and “calls for violence”.

Even worse, I just can’t get allowing monetization. If you truly “hate the views”, stop lining your pocket with their money…

The bit about this system flagging a “single person” more than 900 times at over 130 stores without any awareness of it as bunk data is just staggering.

Spot on. I do understand that there's a bit of difficulty to it considering its a fairly significant paradigm shift from where we were.

I know folks usually skew that way but it’s server to server. Frankly, I don’t use any warnings because I can’t be bothered and my instance is fine with it.

Why do you think people commit crime?

No, she didn’t make the cops gay.
