Somebody from Facebook recently told me they developed the best system to flag radical/violent content in the world, I pointed out they first developed the best system to spread it.

It’s inaccurate to say “Apple selling user data to US government”. That’s not what the article claims (the word “sell” doesn’t even appear in the text), and there are in fact many consumer data brokers who really do sell data to law enforce

I'm a fairly active Twitter user and I experience it solely via the mobile website as I try to reduce the number of apps I install (and data I expose to said apps), so I don't actually think this is as monumental as people act. F

I can’t get upset about Twitter bans, but I’m old enough to remember this country before the patriot act and I’ve got no desire to double down.

Yup, and they had their own little shitty corner of the Internet until social media showed up and let them out. Time to send the trolls back to the caves.

Given his supporters stayed hours after his statement, I'll assume they had the correct interpretation of intent.

If Republicans continue to spread dangerous lies and falsehoods, tantamount to falsely claiming a theater is on fire, YouTube should push back. If Republicans post policy proposals or comments on cultural issues, YouTube shouldn’t. Courts i

Considering Facebook are the main reason millions of people won’t take COVID vaccines when they become available, this is the least of their sins, and these are pretty big sins. Same for YouTube.

I went from 8-10 cups/day to a single cup before noon, cold turkey, with insane migraines. Having previously quit smoking it didn’t occur to me to register it as difficult until I read this. Nicotine is a hell of a drug.

I continue to believe the main reason Facebook is scared of new iOS tracking controls is people will figure out the CTR is the same without the tracking.

I hope the days of big tech treating startups as lego pieces to be snapped into their empires will be stopped by regulators. I imagine a lot of new ideas, not bound by ad tech revenue, may take root.

$5/mo is as close to free as you can get and if I ever decide to get a gaming PC in the future I don’t have to buy Cyberpunk again. If stadia could play games I own independently I’d be all for it, but why risk investing in something t

I tried Stadia and it worked fine, but I own games on steam and given the size of the Google graveyard there’s no way in hell I’m going to “buy” a game on a service that will get shitcanned in a month. 1080p isn’t great, but I’m not a huge

GeForce Now is great and you use games you buy on other platforms (eg Steam). Unlike Stadia, if the service doesn’t pan out you still have games, and access to much better sales, it’s also $5/mo and can handle Cyberpunk. I don’t see an

I stayed up late looking at network maps/etc trying to figure out any special features of the location, this was the only thing I could find. Likely coincidence, possibly not, but very high chance many people at 3-letter orgs have had
