No it's not, forums were around on the internet long before the term "social media" existed. Same with comments on a newspaper article, they are not social media.

does social media serve any purpose whatsoever besides marketing and PR, virtue signalling and self promotion? honestly, what genuine use does something like twitter, mastodon, instagram etc have? No one even reads the shit other people pos

I wonder if this is to be able to add an extra way to monetize tiktok content by selling access to the textual data to LLM operators.

Out of interest are you a physicist or chemist, or have a very good understanding of either of those subjects? Asking because I found the book extremely dry and hard to get excited about (I only read the first half admittedly) due to it see

These "apps" to the regular folk ("regs" from now on) are akin to putting a new shiny object in a monkey cage at the zoo. The regs don't think or care about privacy implications, the regs just see a new shiny thing

open the image in a new tab and there are often some serious clues in the filename- is this cheating? I actually did it initially to be able to zoom in and see if I could read the guy's badge on his shirt

I picked up perl about 18 months ago and I never really found context hard to understand at all. Not trying to boast- just not really sure what people find hard about it.

hmm, he does say he was camping on a beach in Plymouth, MA. On the map I see a municipal airport not far inland and a bit to the south a coast guard air base. I could imagine a coast guard helicopter out patrolling the coastline taking a cl

I agree that memories are not always reliable but I personally find it to be with smaller less significant details about a larger event. So I could believe that the author perhaps misremembers colors or sounds or size to some extent- but to

It does seem odd that people would put their reputation on the line by making up a story about seeing a UFO. For example, why would this guy lie about it publicly: https://www.bostonglobe.com/2021/06/03/opinio

Not at all, I'm an average programmer at best. But writing well structured code is about being conscientious of your team mates, it's about not being a show off, it's about not being arrogant even if you are the smartest pers

You can write shit code in any language. That's why teams have code reviews.
