It’s questionable whether they were or weren’t. One would suspect a normal CEO of having evidence that they weren’t legally obligated to if they sued, but this is Musk we are talking about.

Thanks, I’ll check it out. I gave it a gloss, and what’s striking to me is that their FAQ doesn’t really mention what happens in case of copyright strikes or DMCA takedown notices.

That’s more bittorrent that federated, but maybe the metadata could be federated. It would share a lot of the same problems as bittorrents though: DMCA, prohibited content, content that’s no longer relevant enough to be available. So not only would the federated servers have to deal with requests from law enforcement and takedown notices, but so would ISPs and its users. Imagine not being able to host a federated server of it if you don’t run an algorithm that scan for infringing content. But besides that, yeah, maybe that would be plausible.

Maybe it’s an unpopular opinion, but I assume students complaining about their teachers being bad because they are not as good as some internet people are usually pricks who aren’t really into learning and are more likely looking for an excuse not to learn. Those internet people aren’t going to give you an exam on what you actually pick up, nor are they going to have the data to see what the class is doing poor on and needs to learn.

Most of the shit you learn in school isn’t going to be used in real life, but that’s not the point of it. It is essentially a gym for your brain, so dissing your personal trainer just because there are athletes with advice that might be better for you is not a good look. This example really is only useful for people who have learned programming before math, and knows the differences and limits of the programming.

Going the way of OS/2

Threads satiated the one thing Mastodon didn’t - lazy asses who might have been curious but really didn’t to make the transition to something that sounded unfamiliar, complex, and a bit crude to them. Using OS metaphors, Threads is Windows, Mastodon is Linux.

Yeah, this really shouldn’t be a case people who support abortion rights should stand behind, but I think the focus is on how their chat history might have been compromised, although I´m not sure what people were expecting on that end either. The fediverse will also eventually have to deal with requests from law enforcement as well, too.

If you private message someone else on a web service, your entire conversation is saved on their servers. If you have an app on your phone, then it can be designed to store the messages locally.

The reason the investigation was started wasn’t because someone peaked in on it, it was because there was a buried dead baby.

What would you like, to have been able to be born and live up to around 30 years of age into a large family in an environment catering towards your every need until you are sacrificed to be eaten, or to not have been born at all? The PETA answer is basically “no need to worry about animal abuse if their we don’t allow their niches in human society to keep existing”. I really haven’t PETA seen ever focus that much on environmental protection.

Now do bulls.

Yar har, fiddle de dee
Being a fraudster is alright to be
Do what you want 'cause a fraudster is free
You are a fraudster!

It doesn’t have quite the same ring to it.
