I wanted to read it. I did.
But seriously! How much work would it take for somone, anyone! Even the writer! Just read over the article once before before pushing the send button!

The very first letter of the very first word (only a two letter word) is wrong.

“Un an interview that’s”

I can’t do it.

Nexus 5 is my all time favorite hardware design. With the soft touch plastic back, and lip around the flat screen, I never bothered with a case. All I ever wanted from a new phone since is a version scaled up to a 6in screen.

API index access is an important difference.
If it was only that, without public facing ad driven search, I’d be more impressed.

Maybe if you removed the adds, and severely rate limited your own public facing search, so it’s more of a demo than an actual service. This would force you to solely make money off the API access, without directly competing against those customers.

That would be an honest buisness model. One that doesn’t turn users into eyeballs for advertising. Which seems to me, to be the most insidious problem of the modern internet.

For all their talk of doing things different with their own index and rankings. Mojeek is following exactly what Google did. It’s still an ad based business model that makes users into products to be sold to advertisers. They’re good now, while still trying to build market share. But once their investors get hungry, the enshitification will commence.

I thought that what he literally called it. Public Beta

It’s not a good sign when you have to pay people to use your product.

It’s the original instance, run by the main Lemmy creators.

The full range is about 5.5%. So while it is misleading, a 5% drop in a graph that consistent isn’t nothing. Something substantial absolutly changed

You’re conflating free speech of individuals, with engagement driven black box recommendation algorithms of corporations. It’s a common mistake. I think most people make it.

A company can allow people to post things, and for people to see them if they like, without algorithmically pushing it in endless scrolling interfaces.

For example Lemmy and Mastodon. You only see what you choose to subscribe to. The sites don’t chose to push any content into your feed because an algorithm thinks you’ll like it.

There is a big difference between the two.
And removing the algorithms isn’t a hindrance to free speech, only profits.

It’s always surprising to me that people think these harms are limited to kids and teens. These same issues effect everyone of all ages. Even I’ve noticed my attention span has been effected.

The federal ban is for ByteDance not TickTok.
And that’s unrelated to the states filing this law suit.

Is that why Meta is also being sued over the negative mental health effects of Facebook and Instagram?
They too are promoting a non-western narrative?

Will AI soon surpass the human brain?
If you ask employees at OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other large tech companies, it is inevitable.

That doesn’t answer the question.
If it will happen is unrelated to When it will happen.
I’d expect we’ll see AGI some time between the next 20 and 200 years. I think that’s pretty soon. You may not.

Sometimes people do the right thing, for the wrong reason. While not ideal. I’ll accept it.

You’re basically describing the “Reader View” that most browsers have already. Then trying to force it through a more limited standard.

There are some current attempts a making new browser engines. Servo and Ladybird are two I know of.

The only way is a data only SIM card.
It won’t have a phone number for anyone to call or text.
Of course you can’t make calls or texts either. You have to setup some kind of SIP service if you need to.

We’re not talking about individual people, but whole corporations and organizations.

For example. Instance.social is shutting down. Now the whole Org needs to migrate 150 accounts to someplace else. Oh and the old posts are being deleted, can’t migrate those.

And the support community you created on there, is going away also. Again, can’t really migrate all the old posts and comments. But the FAQ documentation we put there when people asked about it, can be manually copied to the new place. So that’s something

That’s not a situation any company would want to be in. Better to have their own social home, that they control.

Hard disagree.
Running your own social media server for official accounts, so you’re not beholden to the whims of other providers, is kind of an obvious thing to do for online organizations.

As a stepping stone to an octo-fold phone? Yes.

Yes that’s correct.

All has posts from all the communities the members on that instance subscribe to.
