Is this new law allowing the police to go to carrier companies and demanding to know the phone numbers of people near the riots, or is this closer to the police using your camera without your permission? I would have thought security restrictions on devices would have blocked such intrusive ability.

It depends on what you consider spying. The vast majority of devices want some form of push notification capability, which requires being connected to Microsoft/Google/Apple servers, and thus the company knows your IP address. But doing pretty much anything on the internet and you expose your IP address.

If what you mean by spying you think it is looking at what app/program you are doing, recording your keystrokes, recording what your camera sees, the vast majority of devices don’t do any of this. Those are done on hacked laptops and school laptop admins that are either creepy and unchecked or overly intrusive.

Somewhere between these two extremes you would say it crosses the boundary into spying. You don’t need a custom OS to stop it unless you your threshold is all the way to the push notification level.

The problem isn’t the exact rate, it is their ability to pay for tax experts so they can avoid having most of their wealth taxed at all. This is why Biden wanted to beef up the IRS and sic them on billionaires. Scrutinize the cracks they slip through.

Actually, the mouse running the wheel powering the server also needed to clock out for the night.

Spain also tried to tell Google News to pay up for what they offered for free to people. Google simply shut it down. I haven’t checked up to see if news agencies floundered, went elsewhere or thrived as the rich touted would happen.

Canada is claiming the same issues. I suspect there is a symbiotic relationship between news agencies and social media that connects eyes with publishers.

I agree with the general sentiment that Facebook users are more siloed than those heading to Google News. But paying to show a snippet just isn’t feasible.

What is the interpretation?

He may be trying to give Pootin a way to blame the ministry of defense for providing Pootin, Wagner and the Russian people false information. A way for Pootin to blame someone not named prigozhin. Sadly with the ministry of defense making public statements against prigozhin they are trying to force Pootin to pick between the two. Either way it is a win for us.

Does anyone know what exactly this doping did? The article was lacking on specifics.

Those 5 million users didn’t seem to come here? We still have improvements to make a layman resume their reddit activity here. This just seems like a loss of the community overall.

But if the same percentage of people come over we are looking at roughly a 10x growth, at a minimum.

Did anyone else notice that this is the Kremlin saying this rather than Pootin? Is the Kremlin getting ready to tell poopypants-poopin to sit in the corner? This might be a shift in leadership.

This seems to confirm the motivations behind why the company is pushing more for requiring WFH. For a company with global impact and global offices they have kept doubling down on keeping their engineering siloed in Mountain View. It is funny how much better MTV traffic is when Google has Sundar days (days off granted by the CEO). Everybody hates the traffic but it is self-inflicted. The answer is remote, but the behemoth will need to justify it’s decisions made 6 years ago

Would it be possible to make a vote and ask the community if they want to stay closed? They are claiming mods should be like representatives and responding as if mods view themselves like lords. Show them a democratic excuse that you are only reflecting the community.

Part of what made Reddit great was that humans answered actual questions with relevant details, and these answers were searchable by Google, and people knew they could get at those answers by filtering their search with site:reddit.com. but if the community fragments into the fediverse how will that filtering take place? On one hand, it is nice that humans populate the content rather than SEO optimized ad-filled garbage that is the web now. On the other hand it is still subject to the capitalistic whims of a CEO. I worry that once Reddit goes the way of Digg we will have lost the golden age of the internet, where you could interact and ask questions of a human community, with experts listening to niche subreddits.

Today people append Reddit to their search to find human replies to their question. If the Reddit community fragments into the fediverse what keyword would they type in then?

AI doesn’t really exist yet. Media, back in 1870, called Tesla’s magnetically controlled boat artificial intelligence, and again in the 80s when computer scientists invented the game of life. But even now nothing we’ve made so far can do decision making. ChatGPT, the smartest out there, is really just a versatile prediction engine.

Imagine if I said, “once upon a” and asked you to come up with the next word, you’d say, “time” as you’ve heard that phrase hundreds of times. I then asked you to come up with the next word, and the next you might start telling me about a princess locked in a tall tower protected by a dragon. These are all stereotypical elements of a “once upon a time” story. Nothing creative, just typical. Chat GPT has just read way more than you or I ever could and is really good at knowing more stereotypical stories and mixing them together. There is no “what is best for humanity” only “once upon a time…”-made up stories.
