Right now Discord, Slack, and other chat platforms seem to be becoming dominant. But now everything is not only locked away from the open web, but also ephemeral.

Mastodon seems to be doing pretty well and continuing to grow. Lemmy seems to have been stagnant for many months now though. I guess we’re waiting on Reddit to piss their users off about something again before we’ll see another surge here.

Sigh, so is Mozilla just like Google now? Can’t trust any services to stick around?

Yep, pretty damn messed up. They put out like 3 or 4 of them before I guess enough people complained about the overt propaganda targeting minors

So the plot of Johnny Mnemonic?

Here’s one. And their profits went up when they replaced their CEO https://www.forbes.com/sites/sherzododilov/2024/01/11/can-ai-become-your-next-ceo/

Tbf human operated cars are also murder machines, we just are more amenable to tolerating it

20 years ago while learning web development Dreamweaver was going to supposedly eliminate the need for code on websites too. lol

But sadly, the dream of eliminating us seems like it will never die

Does that mean it has something to do with excess iron in their systems? As women naturally get rid of a good bit every month but men have no such mechanism.

DPaste.org - source is available and was created by an old coworker. I’ve used it for years

It’s definitely better…but. Thanks to Google SEO the internet it’s bringing you results from is still filled with shit

I seriously thought he died like 20 years ago

Yep, I’m not clicking that. So the headline will have to do

Having more than one obvious way is unpythonic

They’re claiming an “increase” in percentage. But just in LA, they had 1910 Fentanyl ODs last year. As while all of Oregon only had 955. It’s bad everywhere

And yet recent studies show overdoses have not gone up as a result, and Fentanyl is a growing problem in all US cities. https://www.opb.org/article/2023/09/27/oregon-drug-decriminalization-measure-110-overdose-deaths/

Every year for over a decade has been the hottest on record. And that’s not going to change till our societies change

It’s not FOSS, but Google’s adding this feature right into Photos

No, you’re moving the goal post. A company like Comcast offering a symmetrical service is huge, regardless of what the underlying technology is capable of. They could have been offering 200 megs symmetrical with Docsis 3.0, but they didn’t. They restricted customers to 11mbit uploads. This is a big deal

False. Comcast is finally caving and is beginning to roll out 2 gig symmetrical https://www.engadget.com/comcast-starts-squeezing-2-gbps-symmetrical-internet-speeds-through-decades-old-coaxial-cables-143657830.html
