I think OP’s point is, even “influencers for all kinds of niches” are still… trying to either sell you something or pushing some version of propaganda. It’s the same across all industries and social medias. Opening Twitter and accidentally

Fastest way to get information regarding street closures, city events, infrastructure upgrades and etc. At least in my city 80% of the people in the group sound reasonable, so it’s fun Saturday morning reads. Most of the toxicity comes from

This actually made our neighbourhood and local politics Facebook groups more tolerable (which is the only reason I still use it once a week). It was basically 24/7 ragebait articles being shared around anyways, since that’s the only wa

Other side of the problem is, we just haven’t been able to come up with a better economic system. Sure it might be sucky for us, but millions of people were lifted from extreme poverty over the last 10 years. Those people would probably sup

Average of daily surface temperature across oceans, so every point in the plot is basically a day and its respective temperature. The problem is on average the graph lines are moving up on Y axis, potentially causing problems in a longer ru

Whenever I talk to my friends from rural areas of the provinces, it becomes clear they just prefer the way they used to live as a child. I lived my entire life in different cities and can’t imagine myself driving for a simple grocery run. O

Frankly speaking, probably the latter. I've been using Copilot for over a year now, and obviously it makes stupid mistakes, but it sped up my general coding speed. Now, I don't have much experience (maybe around 10ish years of pro

It is immoral for you and I, but most of engineers and product managers don’t think so. “It’s a feature that’s been implemented by everyone else and it works” would be the argument during its proposal. If the users really opposed to it they

Unless the playing field between the companies are on the same level (reads: dark patters are deemed illegal, and I think it should be!), or you are in some sort of monopolistic industry, to my understanding you will lose to your competitor

Definitely agreed! I think there's a difference between "living" and "visiting" when it comes to enjoying city architectures. Unified style gets very boring very fast if you live in the neighbourhood. Seeing differe

“Uber drivers are slaves is a lie” is a bit oversimplification, but the children in mines analogy doesn’t make sense. The idea is to get rid of child labour, not labour in general. It’s not like we don’t have adults working in mines. I know

You go through "customs and immigration control", that's what I was referring to, apologies. Whether you're a tourist or not, you still go through the same process. Live facial recognition is not new. I know at least in

Face and/or fingerprints have been a requirement in in every developed country (including US) since at least 2012. Might be even earlier than that, that's just the clearest memory of myself going through the immigration in Europe.

WeChat was ubiquitous in China way before the incident. It’s simply being practical and using a method that almost everyone has access to. Whether it was a correct way to do so or not is a different topic.

That's the thing I don't understand about people who live in the USA and their absolute hatred towards a National ID system. It would be a political nightmare for them to even suggest anything like that. Even their "new"

The reality is, supermajority (including me) of people prefer not using cash. Especially up here in the North. Can’t even recall to ever pulling some out other than some casino entertainment night. I understand all the “freedom” (or whateve

Twitter is a crack pipe for dopamine hits, which OpenAI has no business in. Highly doubt bots is the actual reason, since they have had that problem since forever. Now, infrastructure bills could be a real reason.

Not to be that guy, but social drinking isn’t about getting trashed every night and waking up at 1PM. Nor it’s about getting drunk so much where you don’t remember the previous night. To put into a perspective, I have a few drinks almost ev

Pardon my ignorance, but what possibilities? It’s been more than 10 years since BTC was promoted as “peer-to-peer money transfer with no middle men!”, but in all western countries this idea has been rejected by public due to limitations pos

Depends on the generation, but it's "not cool" to post photos like we used to do it every week or so in my generation (younger millennials / older gen-z). I've seen some people doing once every month, quarter, or li

I agree with the poster above, since at this year most of people are accustomed to install an app to interact with a website. It’s not where we wanted the web to be, but also it’s a minority that find it annoying.

Given the amount of testing centers (probably in the numbers of thousands?), in practice that would be hard to guarantee the effectiveness. Sprinkle some potential failure rate, corruption and etc. I can see why people would support the bla

My argument against parallels drawn Digg is simply current users of the internet. In 2010-2011 people were more likely to experiment with different social forums, websites, and etc. Also the age of the users were always on the younger side.

Ah, interesting. To be fair, super-majority of users on mobile are already authenticated in the app, so I don’t think it would be any loss. I guess, maybe for people who don’t want to be tracked about their NSFW browsing. Still curious how

Side question, how did twitter survive through its porn filled timelines and advertisers being ok with it?

Reddit makes a lot of decisions that tax-payer funded entity would never be able to do. It’s one of the unfortunate circumstances where publicly owned social aggregator would be severely lacking. I’m not even talking about Reddit’s one of t

All I can say is, don’t take any product advice from Reddit, since it’s fairly mainstream now. Basically every company does astroturfing and marketing in every possible way over there without disclosure. From what I was told, the most commo

That is still depended on some sort of payment rails though, no? Bank, government or whoever can decline transactions to that “cash” action.
