Sometimes people do the right thing, for the wrong reason. While not ideal. I’ll accept it.

The only way is a data only SIM card.
It won’t have a phone number for anyone to call or text.
Of course you can’t make calls or texts either. You have to setup some kind of SIP service if you need to.
We’re not talking about individual people, but whole corporations and organizations.
For example. Instance.social is shutting down. Now the whole Org needs to migrate 150 accounts to someplace else. Oh and the old posts are being deleted, can’t migrate those.
And the support community you created on there, is going away also. Again, can’t really migrate all the old posts and comments. But the FAQ documentation we put there when people asked about it, can be manually copied to the new place. So that’s something
That’s not a situation any company would want to be in. Better to have their own social home, that they control.
Hard disagree.
Running your own social media server for official accounts, so you’re not beholden to the whims of other providers, is kind of an obvious thing to do for online organizations.
I started buzzing my hair down to an 1/8th inch when I was 14. Then much if it fell out in my 30s also.
Not being sure was part of my point. We can’t be sure. But all their incentives are aligned in the right way. That’s the best we can hope for. And better than any alternative right now.
You can’t have? Or you can’t be sure?
Because you certainly can have. Just because you pay, doesn’t mean they will log your searches. In fact Kagi claim they don’t. And since their only income comes from paying users. If anyone ever found out they’re lying about that, they’d quickly loose a big chink of subscribers and income. As well as get sued for fraud. So it’s rather unlikely they do.
Unlike every other search provider, Kagi is the only one with a business model that ensures it’s users are the customer, not the product. When actually using it every day, that’s quite obvious in the results. Even when you search for a company directly, it’s Wikipedia entry is usually the first result. The the company site is the second.
Those are very big questions. This Wikipedia Page is a good place to start.
The simple answer is, everything humanity does happens in cycles.
But you can think of it as roller-coaster passing through an infinite series of loops. We keep going forward in the long run. But but the repeating loops take us up and down, even upside down and backwards along the way. In every case, coming down each loop gives us the momentum to reach the next one.
It works in cycles.
The last Guilded Age (think Roaring 20s) ended with the great depression. Which then triggered the creation of all the great economic policies the boomers enjoyed as children, which they’ve been dismantling since the 70s.
Once things get bad enough, (very nearly there now) the cycle will repeat.
I’m not sure you know what post scarcity means.
Imagine a world where nobody needs to work, but everyone can still have any material desire filled at any time.
Think Star Trek. Unlimited energy resources, combined with replicators which use that endless energy to create unlimited stuff without any labor required.
It really is the most efficient way to manage and trade scarce resources. Going back to a barter system wouldn’t be possible with the size and scope of a global economy.
The most profitable league in all of sports…
Is being killed?
I don’t think that means what they think it means.
comes with their school districts’ decision to install AI-powered monitoring software such as Gaggle and GoGuardian on students’ school-issued machines and accounts.
That’s kind of standard practice on any company issued devices I’ve ever used.
Unless they’re being given for the kids to own. If they have to give them back at the end of the year, then they don’t belong to the kids.
I think I prefer eXcretions
Basically, RSS as you said, is a one way street. There is no feedback. It’s not so much communication, but broadcasting.
Hypocritical for sure.
Not really unexpected, so not ironic.
I would liken the Democrats to Megamind, and the Republicans to Hal Stewart.
they say giving their biometric data to an unaccountable company crosses a line.
The company is unaccountable‽
That’s some projection.
People looking at a strobing light, start to see it as just “on” (not blinking anymore) at almost exactly 60Hz.
In double blind tests, pro gamers can’t reliably tell 90fps from 120.
There is however, an unconscious improvement to reaction time, all the way up to 240fps. Maybe faster.
