Yep, and I don’t disagree with you. We just somehow forgot about what bad, not shitty capitalists are. And that we can not trust them, but can somehow rely on their consistency.

‘We’d look into your shit as it passes by’ is a powerful statement that’d hurt their profits a lot, especially with corporates. That’s why MS’s Copilot is a risky gamble even with their leverage. They don’t want it at all, and these customers overshadow any of us easily.

Their scale is also why they won’t give a damn unless you violate something serious or really piss some nintendo. Small clients, millions of them, aren’t overseen by people, just ‘bots’ that can flag you for a personal review if you leave the margins and patterns of their average userbase, or if they have someone’s takedown demand. As we can’t dismantle it just now, it’s cool we can use it to further some anticap\anticenzorship goals.

That’s a good point to it tho. It means Simplex is simple enough for anyone, even telegram pogromists to use. Advanced stuff became user-friendly, so average folks can with some adjustment come to it too.

Their business model and size obligates them to walk carefully - they want users and clients to forget or not know they even exist and have such a leverage over them - that really helps them selling their products. I think they have top of the shelf specialists, hardware, etc and that naturally upholds their frightening monopoly. Piracy shield goes against them masquarading as invisible non-actors and puts a lot of unpaid responsibility on them.

If he is on course to destroy Twitter, getting it eventually banned is the way.

You fucking don’t.

Fuck neon, LEDs, all that bright shit spoiling the night. Razor-sharp splashes of light pollution is not an aesthetic, they are an eyestrain and an ad space. My homies enjoy old districts and wilderness where they can relax and see the stars for once.

I don’t see anything to argue against, besides, maybe, your optics on reddit’s survivability. I think it would last years and years with the momentum it has and I don’t know what can surely kill it for good. I think it’d die off only if the format of reddit itself would get too old and no new users would join, older ones leaving it.

As for forums, I joined way later than you, and unsurprisingly tech and warez are what makes me visit them times and times again. Our 4pda.ru and rutracker.org are my go toes for mobile and general torrenting stuff, and I see european bros using them too. This architecture of conversations is just great for object-oriented discussion, may it be an app, a phone model, a select upload or what.

Sounding in unison to you, I’d say if you want to find stuff, old platforms are the best. The problem is that new users most of us don’t know exactly what we want while opening the feed fo scroll. We want content from select quality providers, whatever it is. It is a completely different request that gets answered by different models of feed seeding. It’s a cable TV to a set of VHS. And I want for both incompatible models to exist, because they both serve a different purpose.

I don’t see any reason why eating a human, or eating something that ate a human, would lead to prion disease.

That’s sweet.

The article is too short to draw any conclusion but in that framing from an affected party it sounds shitty. I feel like we only see the ending to a long story, like a mole hunt in their ranks or whatever. The quoted guy supposes they did so because company’s workers may have an access to documents of their clients and I’d call that bullshit for, like, how it even works and why would anyone allow it?

I have a low-to-mid income in Russia and I pay more taxes (converted into dollars) directly from my income each year while considering a full plate meal for two at KFC is a bit too fancy for my family budget to have it once a week. That’s just for scale.
