It’s not whataboutism to point out the accusing side doing the exact same thing, that is simply called pointing out hypocrisy.
It is literally the definition of whataboutism, you muppet.
She seems to understand it better than you.
It has nothing to do with “opposing ideologies”, it is how you are behaving like toxic assholes 100% of the time.
Nah, it is just a lot of hexbear alt accounts like yourself on your disingenously labeled “reasonable” side.
What a disingenous comment. Having two accounts of two defederated instances makes even more sense than having them on two federated instances.
Sounds a bit like how he ended up with twitter in the first place
How about adressing the issue instead of just cresting strawmen about the messengers?
This feature is an actual fundamrntal privacy issue.
A lot of US defaultism going on in this thread. Americans (and perhaps British) talking about the North American grey squirrel as the incarnation of all squirrels, when people elsewhere in the world would have very different experiences with their local native squirrels, who act quite differently to those.
Depends on where you live. I only have the Eurasian red squirrel in my country, and they are definitely not a nuisance to any vegetable planting plans.
A particular species of squirrels. I think people in this thread fail to make clear that this is exclusively about the North American grey squirrel. The Eurasian red squirrel is not invasive anywhere, And I strongly doubt anyone have any problem with having them in their bird feeder, since they are solitary and relatively shy creatures.
And also the fediverse serves a purpose. Crypto is just a shortsighted pyramid scheme fueled by greed.
Without old currency it is completely worthless.
It seems to me that the major issue people were complaining about was the thing even existing in the first place (and rightly so). So by them still wanting to implement it, they have fixed absolutely nothing.
This argument keeps missing that it is not only the quality but mainly the quantity of fakes which is going to be the problem. The complete undermining of trust in photographic evidence is seen as a good thing for so many nefarious vested interests, that this is an aim they will actively strive for.
It is the quantity of fakes because of the easy process which is going to be the problem. Fake pictures will very soon outnumber real, and the amount of them will still kerp grjwing exponentially even after that.
The thing is that in the future the mere quantity of fakes will make the careful vetting process you describe physically impossible. You will be bombarded with high quality fakes to such an extent that you will simply have to give up trying to keep up, so it will be a choice of either dropping the vetting process or dropping bringing any pictures altogether. For profit driven corporate jwbed media outlets, the choice unfortunately will be obvious.
Yeah, it is going to be mainly a quantity issue rather than a quality one. The quality of faked photos has already been high since photoshop. Now a constant growing avalanche of high quality fakes (produced by all sorts of different vested interests with their own particular purposes) is going to barrage us on a daily basis, simply because it is cheap and easy
Late 80s early 90s there were literal adverts in the classified section of the paper by pirates where you could buy 100s of games for a set sum (very cheap usually). Often you mailed empty disks to them and the money, and they would return it with games. They would also have monthly printed newsletters about new titles.
