Nothing beats ISO 8601, YYYY-MM-DD

And this feature was implemented into an OS you have to pay for. 💀💀💀

They didnt depict him being decapitated, but his Snoo (i believe those are called Snoos) being decapitated. I think those are two entirely different things, especially given the french revolution theme around it.

Admins are being pussies imo. (After making a very bad decision in returning /r/place) They are of course fully within their right to, and that's why reddit sucks.

LMAO, reading the submissions on that website are hilarious. Three quarters of the posts on there are super level-headed, saying they don't believe he should have died but they can't mourn or feel sympathy for someone so horrible; IMO, Charlie Kirk absolutely deserved to die. Wanting fascists dead shouldn't be a hot take, it should be the norm.

Bill the manufacturer 100%, IMO. Thats why I think self driving cars beg an unanswerable legal question, as when the car drives for you, why would you be at fault? How will businesses survive if they have to take full accountability for accidents caused by self-driving cars?

I think its almost always pointless to hold back innovation, but in this case I think a full ban on self driving cars would be a great move.

I FEEL THIS. My bank tells me its not possible to turn it off on my checking account. Blows my fucking mind they can't just deny a tranaction if I don't have the money even if I ask 😭

Antennapod, hands down. It's the best podcast app I've ever used, period. Even proprietary options don't come close.

Black panthers

Uber shaking in their boots now that they have to pay minimum wage, on top of already having a business model thay actually makes no sense and makes profitabilty impossible.

Fr, you can disagree with someone and still make use of the software they create. Especially because you're not even directly supporting them monetarily.

Scrapers assemble!

I think that's obtuse, comedy has no limits: As long as you don't act upon uncomfortable / morally reprehensible ideas you joke about, you aren't any worse or better than if you had never joked about it. I would argue that exposing a bunch of people for what they joke about with no evidence that they've actually done something wrong is far worse than joking about offensive subjects. (one has zero negative affects, the other has many)

(I must say I disagree completely with that guy sharing messages from his girlfriend- that piece is very weird and a total breach of trust)

The owner has also said via Reddit:

"My long-term vision for RedReader is to restructure the app to more easily support other sites, including Lemmy, and perhaps others such as Tild.es and Hacker News. Before the API changes were announced, I was already considering adding RSS reader functionality to the app, and I think it would be cool to work with some kind of “open forum protocol” which would allow a variety of websites and apps to interoperate with each other through a uniform API."

A University named after a disgusting, abhorrently racist and radical man makes derogatory decision.

Totally agree. Facebook should have been absolutely crippled financially after influencing an election, but they get off scot free.

My idea is this:

Instead of a maximum fine being applied, you take a violation, lets say influencing an election, and you calculate how much of the corporations revenue came from that source. (i.e. Facebook messenger revenue would not count for election manipulation). Then, take a huge portion of that revenue (60%, 70%? [Depending on the violation]) and take that from their revenue. Who gives a shit if Facebook literally has to close down one of their services from lack of finances, thats what they get.

I wouldn't be very happy if my browser injected ads into webpages.

Metadata is all the content of a message besides the actual text content of the message (i.e. what you type). Examples would be the date and time it is sent, what users these messages were sent to / from, and the IP addresses of both parties. (The availability of metadata varies from messenger to messenger).

I like this example: If you only text your Aunt Sally, who lives in Alaska, twice per year to wish her a happy birthday and Christmas, just by looking at the metadata someone could infer the meaning of your messages, as well as your relationship to the person you're messaging. To a point this is true about any messages you sent.

As for Whatsapp specifically, it being end-to-end doesn't really matter imo, as the application is not open source and is owned by an advertising / social media company. As long as the code is closed source, you cannot be sure:

1. That your messages are encrypted at all
2. That your encryption keys are kept on-device, and not plainly available to a centralized party
3. That the encryption the application is using is securely implemented

At least for applications handling truly sensitive information (for the average person only their messenger and browser), you should be using open source software. The easiest recommendations I can make are:

1. Browsers: Firefox, Thorium, Brave (disabled all cryptocrap)
2. Messengers: Signal, SimpleX Chat, XMPP

Anyways, I hope this was a satisfactory answer.

The way I see it, community-based social media is a public forum, where every post / comment is public (Obviously less applicable on an individualized platform like Instagram). Everyone has an inherent right to privacy, but not when they're using a platform like Lemmy. Twitter and Facebook are fundamentally different platforms. You can't expect privacy while using lemmy, so use a different platform to post private content.

Were doomed if PragerU gets screentime in classrooms.
