I read posts just like yours ten years ago.

I have looked into i2p and find it not easy to understand and use. I have yet to download something successfully using it.

Confused it with ipfs.

That’s more a feature for a client app.

Privacy isn’t particularly good in the fediverse. Any federated instance can track you as much as they want without you ever knowing or consenting.

Self hosting Lemmy is straightforward. Then subscribe to all communities and now you have a treasure trove of data to mine. If you modify the code a bit you can do more like keep deleted posts around or surveil user activities in real time.

Wouldn’t selective disabling of JavaScript make fingerprinting easier? Your block and white list are likely to be unique.

Disabling JavaScript entirely is another data point for fingerprinting. Only a tiny fraction of users do it.

Besides, without JavaScript most websites are not functional anymore. Those that are are likely not tracking you much in the first place.

How do you prove they’re doing it?

How would that even be enforced?

Driving a cyber truck is sure to get you some attention. That’s valuable to some people.

It has a bold futuristic exterior design and looks.

That hate came from somewhere.

Thank you. Sounds like good news.

True, but training is one-off. And as you say, a factor 100x less costs with this new model. Therefore NVidia just saw 99% of their expected future demand for AI chips evaporate

It might also lead to 100x more power to train new models.

mainstream media will completely lie to you

Mainstream media doesn’t care to research thoroughly and rarely have journalists who actually understand the topic they’re reporting on. It’s not lies, just superficial sloppy work mostly.

Journalists rarely dig through OSINT themselves. They will ask an Possibly biased expert who actually reads and is able to interpret OSINT. Then the journalist will only understand half and misunderstand another part. The cite some quotes from the expert that then make for an article with a clickbaity headline. Only if you‘re very lucky the journalist will review the OST themselves or even show the source directly in their reporting. It’s surprisingly rare that journalists speak the language of the country they’re reporting about.

Not all is great with OSINT, as it’s full of selection bias, rumors, unconfirmed information, and people with agendas.

A more fractured internet is coming. Posting sources will be forbidden. Discourse will become more polarized, disconnected, and extreme.

Most of these Reddit bans on Twitter are also half assed. They still allow screenshots of Twitter posts. That means the content is still spread, and Twitter remains relevant.

Lots of these subreddits don’t even get a lot of Twitter links in the first place. Like for lotrmemes it makes zero difference.

That said, Musk and Twitter suck. I have deleted my Twitter account three years ago.

However there still is some information, where Twitter is a good source.

Usenet and IRC have bad usability and lack features compared to Discord.

IM applications like Jabber and such have been replaced by messenger apps like Telegram.

NetNewsWire is the iOS and macOS app for RSS. It has been around since RSS started out and is now open source.

Now type it a form that doesn’t allow copy and paste.

Fraud isn’t the problem. The vote has to be secret, equal, and free.

You don’t want to be able to find out who voted how. But you need to know who already voted.

Proving Fraud actually happened is difficult with electronic voting to boot.
