They are very fierce at censoring their IP material, anything that lands on youtube that hasn’t been altered to avoid copyright bot, gets taken down immediately. even shows that have aired the same day.

Yep, even when bing censors something, it gets censored by DDG aswell, DDG is just a fancy proxy.

I have been following the DMA closely, and so far it has been a big disappointment, just as I expected.

The way the EU approaches this walled garden problem, is to try and offer ways for other competitors to tap into the user base of the bigger players instead of trying to allow all EU citizens to chat with any other EU citizen who uses META Products regardless of their host platform. meaning “us” people who wish to self host an xmpp or Matrix servers and chat with facebook friends, It won’t be straight forward or entirely possible for us to do so. unless maybe by doing a KYC with META. and signing up very stringent service agreements.

Meta will be creating all sorts of hurdles the DMA laws will allow them to, to cripple interoperability, from making other plateform signing up to special permissions from Meta, to hiding interoperability settings and making them opt-in, and building a scary rhetoric why you shouldn’t be allowing other people outside of META to get in contact with you. There are some valid concerns, but I suspect Meta will implement the most spiteful procedures they can get away with, then spin up a rhetoric about proving their users being massing against interoperability.

Those who buy apple products deserve each other.

I call bullshit on this, This is nothing short of propaganda by think tank that is financed by the military industrial complex.

Putin won’t dare NATO member countries, especially when he hasn’t finished with Ukraine.

What these big giants were trying to do is scoop up as much talent as possible so they don’t end up at a competitor, even if that meant some employees would be getting very light workloads. that’s one of the many reasons too Google keeps starting new projects and killing them a few years later.

I don’t know where you are getting your numbers. maybe it’s your selection bias, but facebook’s userbase keeps groing, and even if its getting less teenager engagement, those teenagers are flocking to Meta’s other platform Instagram.

Contrary to many in here, I don’t think this will cause another exodus from reddit. those who might be concerned by this have already left or reduced their time on the platform

This is Beyond “Can I interest you in some Tracking cookies ?” , this is “You MF better put these cookies down your throat or I will shove them up your Ass”.

Now Nazi Germans are teaming up with Israel and other Germans against the Arabs and the Browns, As long long as they find an inferior race to hate, they are fine with whoever are their allies.

Oh the irony, if only innocent people weren’t at the end of this .

Every accusation by Israelis is a confession

Hopefully, Matrix [Element & al ] and Revolt will catch up to discord

As long as they keep getting money out of it. and with record numbers year over year. they have no incentive to change course. Google has a monopoly over search engine that affords them the unique position of not giving a dime about user satisfaction. the users are trapped anyway!

Pakistan needs to get its home security in order. It has been the breeding ground for many armed militias. the 100 deaths in the Latest bombing in Iran seems to have been caused by a militia operating from Pakistan #

I don’t believe Apple made this product to sell. it might be just marketing ploy to keep people talking about Apple and how they are always ahead of the curve. they have a brand reputation to maintain.

Yeah, you haven’t seen their Chancellor joining the marches ?

the 30s are coming earlier this century! may be it’s in their genes who knows. cyclic genomes

You would think that now that NK has acquired nukes reunification would be even easier. but SK has been going further and further into the other direction.

Grasping at straws. as if German automakers hadn’t received many subsidies and tax exemptions .

Europeans like to pay premium for the prestige of driving German made cars. now if those Chinese EV make it to Europe, they will bring havoc on premium’s cars market share especially in these very challenging times.

Next Boeing planes can turn into convertibles midair.
