  • LibreOffice Leave X/Twitter in favor of Mastodon

    Jump

  • X has 600 million users, Mastodon 9-10 million. Even if you assume 2/3 of Xitter are bots, that's still 20x difference in reach. You should know that you and I are not "normal" for using Mastodon. A group of randomly picked people 9/10 will know of X/twitter, maybe 3/10 have heard of Mastodon.

  • Leave X for Mastodon

    I hope they don't phase X out, because that would be a social media suicide. Orgs, public personas and projects are not average users and can't really care about personal preference or user experience, they only need to care where people are. They are there to get social media reach and just jumping out of Xitter would harm their social media presence and the project.

  • Ukraine Paves the Way for Pirate Site Blocking, Despite Ongoing War

    Jump

  • Who do you think owns Ukrainian government at this point? They funded their own twilight by selling government property, land, resource rights and legislative favors to multinationals. Zelensky et. al knows who brought them to power and has kept them there.

  • Under British and UK Legislation anyone using or developing end-to-end encryption is now a “hostile actor”

    Jump

  • the real misdirection is focusing on individuals and their blame. The real question is why does UK political system produces these people rule and how do they keep ruling.

  • Really just tells you that Epstein and his buddies weren't the men with the plans or brains.

  • What is the fundamental difference. Evil men and arrogant idiots might as well be the same thing.

  • Is there an end to the RAM crisis?

    Jump

  • I would by some backdoored Chinese RAM right about now. I have nothing to hide. if it comes without US five eyes backdoors, all the better.

    Jump

  • The Chinese could do some coordinated push to take marketshare if they have state backing and are willing to accept medium term losses.

  • Australia’s Social Media Ban Is Isolating Kids With Disabilities—Just Like Critics Warned

    Jump

  • The real issue is that most social media is for-profit addiction machine breeding more and more anti-social behavior, not that kids have access to it. This is just a another example that liberals are incapable of seeing any ill in rampant capitalism or much less intervene in it's mechanism for the common good. Everything is framed around profit seeking bringing out the greatest good and individuals choice. They are very at a loss when having to to do any systemic analysis why social-media has ill effects on social fabric. The best they can come up is that kids are not yet fully formed adults able to do the right choice, so they must be guided.

  • Western Digital runs out of HDD capacity: CEO says massive AI deals secured, price surges ahead

    Jump

  • We might dine well on used datacenter hard drives in the coming years.

  • Google criticizes Europe's plan to adopt free software

    Jump

  • They mostly do that because they want control and maybe slowly reach their tentacles into projects. Like Chromium and Android are in theory open source, but in practice both are locked down by google and used for their business and mass data harvesting and advertising empire.

  • Remedy's new CEO is a former sports betting guy and EA executive who aims to 'scale Remedy in a way that builds lasting value'

    Jump

  • yeah, MP1 and MP2.

    Jump

  • Remedy's next project seems like to be more of the same old same old single player action games, albeit a couple of Max Payne remakes. Not unfuckup:able, with microtransactions, but still safer than some multiplayer hero shooter or smth.

  • Landmark trial accusing tech giants of harming children with addictive social media begins

    Jump

  • at some point the whole manipulative algorithms should be addressed (but by who and when are the biggest questions)

    I have long since been of the opinion that all the big social multinational media should be seen as global technical, communication and media infrastructure. All the companies should be seized and put under some global foundation or the UN, everything open sourced, costs paid by member states and the platforms forced to remain impartial and to be organized for improving human condition, development, communication and understanding. If there is no need for profit then there is no need for entrapping users in toxic swamps of algorithm hell for more platform engagement.

  • Landmark trial accusing tech giants of harming children with addictive social media begins

    Jump

  • They are going to play the same old "freedom of choice" defense... aren't they.

    It's not our fault we made it purposefully addictive, you could just not watch it. Hasn't this been the case with every tobacco-, soda-, fast food-, etc company. For example: the whole mainstream idea that weight gain is about caloric imbalance and not consuming what you eat. That is the mainstream because is helps the food companies sway public opinion for their cause. It's not our food that is horrible slop, disruptive to metabolism and engineered to make people eat more and more and still crave more, it's the people who could just not eat it and if they do eat it they could like run 10km to sweat off the effects of like one sandwich.

    They always shift the responsibility to the individuals when they are pressed on their wrongdoings. "The freedom of choice" at large is the great lie that at large keeps society running and is the main defense against any complain why something is systematically shit and fundamentally inhuman, from food to labor markets.
