They stopped running their own instance that almost nobody used. It’s not the big deal you’re making it out to be. They’re still on the fediverse, they just won’t be maintaining their own instance.
I don’t even see why you think the two things are related.
Honestly, I think they just saw that Whatsapp was becoming the standard chat app for basically all of the world outside of the US and China, and just didn’t want anybody else to have it.
Additionally, metadata is better than no data, I guess.
I’m sorry that the facts surrounding Nvidia’s GPUs upset you.
LLMs are useful for a great deal of things, particularly offline translation without having to send data to Google’s servers. Sometimes I want to send a long message to friends and family but don’t want to write it in English, Polish, and Hindi.
But who thought using it for news headlines was a good idea?! Given the tens of thousands of news headlines published daily, some of them are statistically guaranteed to be falsely presented by AI.
E: not sure whether people are downvoting because they want Google to have their data, they don’t want people from different cultures talking to one another, or because they want AI-altered news stories.
Yes, although to nowhere near the same extent as Facebook and Instagram.
The chats are E2EE using Signal’s encryption protocol, so very good.
But they will certainly mine everything else they can get. They may not know what you’re saying, but they do know who you’re talking to, when you’re doing it, your contacts, your profile pic, how often you send images, etc. any web links with tracking info embedded in the URL will likely be tracked too, once you open them.
I’m not surprised. Ukraine has taught us that drones can be a cheap and shockingly effective attack vector for ships.
If you find out that for $200 or often less you can remotely deploy a drone that sinks a ship, you’re obviously going to look into defensive measures.
I said that in my comment. And no, 4060 is not midrange lol

It’s literally the lowest end GPU they make. The 60-class GPU stopped being midrange for Nvidia with Pascal, although due to Nvidia’s exceptional marketing capability, they’ve tricked people into thinking that’s not the case.
Wow, good on you for achieving that. I had a few friends and family on signal, but after they dropped SMS support they all left, now I have no signal contacts anymore.
Decent only if you look at raw performance for the price compared to other MSRPs.
When you scratch beneath the surface a little and see what they’re having to do to keep up with the 3 year old low end Nvidia and AMD parts (that are due to be replaced very soon), it paints a less rosy picture. They’re on a newer, more expensive node, use a fair bit more power, and have a larger die size by quite a bit than their AMD/Nvidia counterparts.
Add to that Intel doesn’t get the discounts from TSMC that Nvidia and AMD get, and I’m doubtful Battlemage is profitable for Intel (this potentially explains why availability has been so poor - they don’t want to sell too many).
While it’s true the average buyer won’t care about the bulk of that, it does mean Intel is limited in what they can do when Nvidia and AMD release their next generation of stuff within the next few months.
This is such an awful idea.
All this says is there is “likely” to be a consultation and changes “may” be made.
I reiterate: people don’t deliberately sit and watch ads.
You are vastly vastly vastly vastly overestimating peoples’ tech literacy. People don’t know that ad blockers exist, nor do they know how to install them.
To the people thinking this means Russia will no longer be able to interfere with other countries over the internet: you are probably mistaken. Disinformation teams will still be connected to the internet. All this will mean is Russians having even less exposure to the world outside of what little Vladolf wants them to see.
It will probably make the European CS2 servers less toxic though.

This isn’t corrup-hahaha sorry I can’t even finish the sentence
And so could .io
No, it would make it the second 2 letter non country code top level domain. .su is the other.
It probably won’t be.
Not only is the agreement between the UK and Mauritius on the brink of collapsing (bizarrely, the UK is trying to get rid of territory and Mauritius doesn’t particularly want it very much), but there’s so much reliance on the .io domain that it’s unlikely to be removed.
Especially because tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Apple make use of it.
He’s CEO of a large company. He’s already in politics. Politicians do the bidding of people like Altman.
I don’t really see the big deal. And while it may be bottom of the list for you, I’m sure others might like the tree-planting thing. From what I can gather with a quick search, they actually do it properly, too, not just planting an ecologically dead monoculture of trees.
And yeah there’s an “ulterior motive”, although it’s not really the evil scheming you’re making it sound like. Ecosia paid Mozilla to include them, so now Mozilla has included them as a search option. It’s one of the few ways Mozilla can get revenue, because people sure won’t pay for a browser these days.
