I have to say… even with the Elon influence, I didn’t see that one coming. Ulbricht stole capital from the rich and enabled stuff including human trafficking considered evil by the religious right. But I guess he also stuck it to The Man, for which he is being rewarded.
If it isn’t, it really should be, or things will become a mess as the fediverse becomes more political. It needs to be resistant to that sort of thing as well as corporate control.
That only works for a portion of the GOP. The rest are either “I’ve got mine, screw you” or “I’m a closet fascist” types though, neither of which is going to care one way or the other as long as the right people benefit and the right people are punished.
It doesn’t just hit wallets; it hits supply. Suddenly there aren’t enough aluminum cans for all the goods people want to can, and food spoils as a result. That kind of thing. And as a result, the food that does get canned costs 25% more (not just an increase in the can component).
The other thing I can see happening is the EU investing in infrastructure, and then leaning more heavily into how things are conducted in the Fediverse. Right to be forgotten? Applies to all instances that want to federate with EU ones. Someone says something bad about the leader of Turkiye? Their instance is defederated if it doesn’t take it down.
… and an entire continent away.
Ah; I assumed when reading the headline that it was the cryptocurrency holding company that was sued, because it competed with trumpcoin.
No responses? I recall quite a few, including mine?
Female family ties were at the heart of social networks in Celtic society in Britain before the Roman invasion, a new analysis suggests.
Tortoises go faster the hotter they are; comes from having a cold blooded metabolism. So to make it faster, acclimate it to hotter environments as well as putting it on a muscle building regime.
Poilievre has pledged to do a whole bunch of stuff directly opposed to my wishes and values. It’s like he’s intentionally saying “don’t vote for me or the party I lead.”
Hopefully I can make the rest of my Conservative-voting riding see that too.
The company put a number of different heat tiles on the ship, to test which offer the best protection from the forces of re-entry.
I guess they’ll have a harder time collecting them all post-RUD.
I think you may be missing his real point: he’s asking people to stop sending anonymous non-attributed emails, as he deletes those.
I do the same; it’s not a proton/gmail/etc. thing, it’s a “did you say who you are in the mail” thing. He then points out that most of these anonymous messages are coming from protonmail/gmail accounts.
He’s essentially saying he doesn’t want anonymous tips/feedback. Nothing to do with the delivery service.
A lot of people didn’t notice it, but it affected a lot of people. That was the time of supply-on-demand, just in time manufacturing, rapid prototyping, and a lot of other behind the scenes stuff that was caught up in the bubble. Despite the name, it wasn’t all about websites. It was about unregulated venture capitalism.
Fast forward to AI, and there’s a lot more regulation, and barriers to entry. You’re not getting money thrown at you for having an idea… with AI today; a few well financed companies are spending lots of money on AI and then selling their services to established players to include the AI tagline.
In my view, AI has closer ties to the Cloud Services bubble.
The obvious next question is: what features do these apps have in common? Do they share a development platform or ad network? Do they use Firebase or some other diagnostics/debug platform?
Because I suspect that they’re all using some sort of “free” or ad supported component that just happens to be owned by a shell company belonging to either a data broker or a company selling large amounts of data to one.
I know lots of flags have been raised even BEFORE his inauguration. I expect this to continue at pace.
Hey… maybe that’s what the Greenland/Panama/Canada thing is really about!
It’s a jackpot. Eventually it will probably be split 500 ways plus the government’s cut.
Meanwhile Mega Millions has all that money collecting interest.
It’s not in my profile, but if you search my work address, my profile is the single result.
Last time I traveled to the US was just before Trump’s last inauguration. Meanwhile I’ve done lots of online shopping in the US and a lot of my groceries are from the US.
Aren’t the tariffs going to result in me shopping less online, buying fewer US exports, and having to physically cross the border to buy stuff not available for reasonable prices anymore in Canada?
