I loved the interest-specific Reverb.com (for selling new and used musical gear) and made a point to buy stuff there to support the community even if it was more expensive or slower than a 'corporate' alternative. All the sellers&

This is on iOS but their app definitely went downhill pretty severely in the past year. If any sort of bluetooth or background playback is involved, the previous playback position will almost always be lost. Video/audio in a playlist s

How does one even discover the email addresses of CEOs (or board members)? It's not like they're searchable online and guessing common formats only gets you so far.

Ah, I see where we might disagree on. I think you would argue that from the perspective of the propaganda targets, the CCP is the establishment vying to influence public opinion and American political parties are not. They're simply po

I definitely hope so. I also hope this awareness doesn't stop at our borders since this type of astroturfing is exactly the official playbook in various ShareBlue/Media Matters type PACs https://i.redd.it/oij2wau47

Ironically propagations of articles like this is actually more or less the reason I stopped using Facebook. No one reads primary sources anymore. All kinds of baiting conclusions and titles are drawn on absolutely minimal data with zero sci

In my limited understanding, isn't this just the state of A.I. in general? I don't know of anyone trying to solve the general intelligence problem. Everyone's just finding formula for specific applications and using M.L. to c
