Full title, which is too long to submit: Orlando urges reduced water usage as liquid oxygen used to purify water goes to COVID patients

More like it's against their cultural identity to ever validate "the liberals".

Why not set up a gmail.com account for your apple.com account? That way you still keep the clean iCloud account for work only.

The hyperbole will end the moment we stop rewarding it.

How do you stop millions of users on Twitter, Facebook, and other platforms from clicking on the link, engaging with the material, leaving likes/dislikes/reactions, and arguing with each other in the comments section? As long as the engagement metrics on our platforms support a style of communication that values polarization and reaction over mild objectivity, this style will propagate itself and continue, as sad as it is.

Starting to suspect that a trillion dollar corporation is more interested in profits than fighting for the little guy?

My problem is every chat app now interprets :) as an emoji.

At least you seem happy about that.

It is more believable they are introducing this tech for larger international security reasons still kept under wraps.

But why low resolution porn?

So that you are able to bypass the manual reviews. It still looks like CSAM, but it isn't.

There's a chicken and egg issue with the rise of a social media.

You can't get people to join if there isn't a lot of people, and there isn't a lot of people because nobody joins.

Faking the participants 'till you make it is cheating, compared to an organic growth that rarely happens at the inception of a new platform.

I don’t agree with this. There is only a chicken and egg issue if the people joining are the product. You can’t sell product data if it doesn’t seem like there’s a lot of product to be sold. If social networks required paid membership, small amount of total users wouldn’t be a bug it’d be a feature.

I personally don't see a social media platform that would succeed through a mandatory paid membership. The main interest in social media to the majority of user is the reach and read a large amount of users, and keeping it small and exclusive might not be an attractive feature to a majority.

I agree and disagree. One hand it’s free to signup and post whatever to my personal account and like a few pages. However the “reach” argument breaks down when the social media company starts filtering what a I do and don’t see. If I decide I want public reach too then I have to buy an ad space from the social media company for that reach. So if that’s true then the reach you get is a lie and you have to pay for membership anyways.

We wish.

The amount they are doing about bots, trolls, and outright state-funded dezinformatsiya and active measures warfare being waged on their platforms is only the absolute minimum so that they can claim to be "doing something", and not appear to be fully and actively allied with the assaults on democracy.

Those podcasts must not have been all that interesting to begin with if you're not listening to them on your own time.

This is pretty much my take when people tell me how much better commuting is on the bus or train. "You can read a book or listen to podcasts"

Come on, I don't do those things in my free time, I'd much prefer more free time from working remotely than fake "free time" on the bus.

Personally, I use the time for a little more sleep.
