Main is @pre
Using this account more for forum-interaction, if I say anything I think is interesting here I’ll likely boost it there.

Bush, Trump, Clinton and Biden all got more innocent people killed than Julian. Their crimes all dwarf anything he is accused of let alone is guilty of. If you are not a literal bot, you have allowed yourself to be programmed by intelligence agencies into hating the man who exposed the crimes over the men who committed them.
@beeng@discuss.tchncs.de I wonder what proportion of the original code is still there. Not much I shouldn’t think. The original app didn’t ask for android permissions the way the modern one does, if only coz Android changed the way permissions work since then.

Whatssapp is designed as a surveillance app, it’s primary purpose is to collect data from your phone for Facebook to analyze, so they make it basically impossible to use unless it’s installed on your phone.
Seems unlikely they’ll deleted it. If they’re started deleting data that’s quite a change. They might save from bandwidth costs of delivering it to people I suppose.
Maybe something to do with users filling the AIs from the google cache? Google wanting to ensure only they can train from the google-cache.

@Norgur@kbin.social hehe.
A stylus holder too, an extra battery of course, too to handle the extra load.
No phone has been better than the n900. But a case that had the keys and extra power and maybe a secondary status screen on the back, and didn’t look like a bananna themed children’s toy. Could be nice.

Ah, I really wish Oculus had sold themselves to almost any other company on the planet :(
@XeryBlox The first thing I would pirate would be a hacked version of Firefox that had ad-blockers in it.
If I can’t get that then I’d think about abandoning the web for Gemini.
I usually end up using Blender, because I’m familiar with it and it’s properly cross-platform and it’s python scripting system means you can write software to do the editing in some circumstances. Especially repetitive work.
If you’re neither scripting/programming nor already familiar with Blender then KdenLive is probably where I’d head.
@Gaywallet Replying in your mega-thread. KBin here is tagging you when I do that and I didn’t delete it.
Haven’t used Lemmy much, perhaps that behaviour is different?
@CeruleanRuin their website says right there on the nag popup. This website is deliberately user hostile, to drive you all onto the app where you can be efficiently transported towards the rotating knives.
I mostly just didn’t look at Reddit much to avoid the trap.
If 200,000 people would rather figure out how to make all their individual forum softwares work together in synchrony than put up with your bloody app, Reddit, maybe you have a pretty shitty app?
Dunno. I never installed it coz I never install any apps if I can help it, and I know how to use a web browser. But if a quarter of a million people would rather subject themselves to the complexities of distributed information networks and the politics of inter-instance blocking than use your bloody app, Reddit, maybe you have a pretty shitty app?
It’s like the kids today don’t know what a web address is with their obsession with apps. They seem to prefer to download an executable than read a text document. If even them, a million zoomer kids who are normally obsessed with apps, if even they would rather entertain the idea of a communications commons not owned and controlled by oligarchs than use your app, then maybe you should have just used yer IPO money to buy Apollo?
Dunno. I’ve never installed either. Sounds sketchy. I distrust apps.
@Spzi KBin wasn’t even a thing when Chat GPT’s training cut-off date happened.
Federation is having some difficulties currently, mostly due to things overloading or the solutions to the overloading. It’ll get better as there are more instances.
@agreenbhm Why it it worse to have multiple communities for the same topic spread across multiple instances vs having multiple communities for the same topic spread across multiple subreddits?
Seems like better redundancy and if they’re all in the same app speaking the same protocols then similar functionally.
Even if there was only one subreddit why would it be better to have one instead of a long tail of many?
Is there anything more bullish than a big media organisation warning their readers not to buy? Top signal is when the NYT says it’s great and everyone should buy in. Seems there’s a way to go yet.
