My biggest pet peeve is that they sell you a service, at a certain speed, that you can only use for like 50 hours a month…

Yes, thank you. It looks like the backslash just escapes the character??

Privacy =!= Protection from legal action

If you use your iPhone to conduct illicit business, the police can subpoena Apple and it will hand over your data (at least in the US).

Privacy in this context means preventing other apps from selling your data to brokers (e.g., location data) or using your phone information to do other stuff (e.g., AI training).

This 🔝

Berlusconi had a similar political appeal. After he exited politics, his party went to the biggest in Italy to insignificant.

It will be really difficult for someone to pick up the Republican Party and run with the same platform as DJT. Many have tried it (e.g. de santis) but none is able to have the same success.

The HOA would like to have a talk about the height of your grass and the color of the planters in front of your house.

I assume that 80% of the users are on one or two instances. Maybe the operators of those instances could sell it to a big publishing company, like Condé Nast or something. That way it will be easier to vertically integrate advertisement between traditional print media, online publications, and less formal online gathering places. It’s a win win at the end. The original operators get their bag, and the community keeps going while being supported by a successful business.

Everybody thinking that trump is the second coming of berlusconi, when it turns out he is Craxi.

Maybe it’s time to go to the court house and change their name to Lua?

Of course. He is only a chatting predator or pedofile.

/s btw. I don’t know anything about the situation

These models are mad libs machines. They just decide on the next word based on input and training. As such, there isn’t a solution to stopping hallucinations.

OP has a longer active streak on Reddit than Lemny as of now. SMH.

Proton is just a company and would always give in to legal requests and all other companies and any email provider would do the same

It’s amazing how people easily forget about lavabit and what a company that is committed to real privacy is about.

That’s binenomics for you right there. 4 years ago I was able to donate thousands to Trumps campaign but this year I can only donate tens. My gas and food bills are just too much. That’s why I’m continuing to donate and voting for Trump.

/s in case it’s not clear.

Will 2024 be old people?

If we want to believe the evil alien theory, viruses might actually fit the bill better than plants, with fungi as a possible unlikely second.

I pledge blah blah blah one nation* under god blah blah blah

*terms and conditions apply, non binding, we reserve the right to change terms without notice, no shirt no shoes no service

But you better stand, remove your hat, and salute the flag

This is going to be like the self checkout lanes at the store but for creative jobs.

At the end of the day, a company will be able to produce the same output with fewer people. Some stuff will be of lower quality, just like sometimes people spend time on Lemmy and then phone in some crappy work.

And then one day you are there working on something at the vise, you drop something, and then you need a full back graft, and now you have weird hairs growing in your shoulders.

At least where I live, new housing costs exceed the value of the built building, so new costruction isn’t viable.

If you are a history buff, read up on the aventine secession on Wikipedia.

The TL;DR is that in 1924 Giacomo Matteotti, a member of the house of representative who was outspoken against Mussolini, was killed and no charges were brought forward. That even is what transition Italy from a semi-working democracy to a one-party dictatorship.
