  • Over 100 far-right militias are coordinating on Facebook

    Jump

  • Not condoning it, but all I can think is how terrible Facebook is for "coordinating" stuff like this. I mean, if FB or the feds wanted to find out who these people are, track them down or something, they can do that pretty easily. People who do stuff like this aren't too bright, though. So not surprised, I guess.

  • YouTube's war against third party apps is just as ridiculous as its war on adblockers

  • Why isn't Rumble an option? Genuinely curious. Is it because it's not open source? or federated or something?

  • OpenSSL goes GitHub only

  • These were great in their day, but it’s time to move on to something better and safer.

    How is it "safer" when contributing to the codebase or filing and discussing issues will now require creating an account and giving up personal information to one of the most privacy-invasive tech companies in the world? 😳

  • A Lawsuit Argues Meta Is Required by Law to Let You Control Your Own Feed

  • Yeah I'd personally like to see more regulation and cases fighting for privacy rights instead, especially here in the US.

  • Google says pause ads on YouTube are getting a very positive reaction from advertisers

    Bc screw the users and their reactions 😄.

    We really need a good YouTube competitor. This is beyond ridiculous at this point.

  • I get the sense that most people on this platform get it. It's the people that would never even be on Lemmy to see this advice that I worry about. Those are the ones that need to keep seeing these posts and comments like yours.

  • Which communication protocol or open standard in software do you wish was more common or used more?

    Jump

  • Oh neat! I didn't know this existed. By any chance, do you know of any RSS readers that have implemented it?

  • So much for free speech on X; Musk confirms new users must soon pay to post

    Jump

  • So don't use RSS then? No one's trying to convince anyone to use RSS if they don't want to. I was just correcting the validity of the original statement.

  • Is there a news app that could replace BBC News?

    Jump

  • Is there one for the other sites like bbc.com?

  • RSS has no adoption anymore

    Not true. RSS feeds are the only thing I use these days and know quite a few others that do as well. Sure some sites may not have RSS feeds by default, but there are a ton of services that auto generate RSS feeds for you.

  • I love a friendly debate 😀:

    The statement says How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?. You can definitely steal it if "you" aren't the customer. And you can steal it from a "customer" even if the customer doesn't own it and someone else does. And you can steal if even if you are the customer, because you aren't the owner. The only time you can't steal it is if you are the owner, because you own it.

    The definition of "steal" you mention seems to be proving the point I'm making. Something can be stolen if the person stealing it isn't the owner, which is the case in the first three examples I mentioned above.

    The statement is an odd play on words and loaded with assumptions that are left up to the reader, which is why it's super weird to use it to try to prove the point the author was trying to make.

  • if buying isn't owning, then piracy isn't stealing. How can you steal something that the customer cannot own?

    By stealing it? You dont have to own something to steal it. Or maybe I'm reading that wrong. Lol it's a very interesting take but I like the spirit of it... And it made me laugh. Cool 😎

  • WOM has and will always be the best form of marketing and you dont need big marketing teams to do it.

    The problem is that a company doesnt need that many people to push a product. They can just pay the few they need, well. But instead, they'd just rather hire a shit ton of people and under pay all of them.

    This reply reads like we should have to pay for these big unnecessary marketing teams these companies hire, which shouldn't be the case.

  • X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs

  • I really hope this is sarcasm. I couldn't imagine basing my friendships solely on whether or not they use Twitter.

  • sigh So Threads can throw their posts out into the fediverse, but no one from fediverse is allowed to post comments back? Why am I not surprised? 🙄

  • With discord planning to show ads, how can the fediverse/lemmy benefit from another proprietary program making itself worse? (Like it was with reddit)

  • Signal app is great. Would that be a better alternative? Or is that too niche for Discord users?
