Let’s go clubbing

I wonder how many manufacturers can currently manage that.

However, the upside is that there are no bots, dark patterns, or manipulated feeds.

There’s a huge amount of incoming spam, much of it, I suspect posted by bots. I’ve also seen account posting ‘news’ from sites that are clearly AI generated

To be honest, it feels much more likely to see posts on the Fediverse with many upvotes, few or no comments

Yeh. I’m pretty comfortable with this broad mix.

Could you give som examples of where it’s desirable ?

Nice tip. Thank you. I was similarly confused

Absolutely. Unless they’re actually evil. Which I’m sure they aren’t. But they could be.

Thanks for the smile this morning 🙂

Running your own VPN in that situation is a good use-case agreed - assuming you trust yourself :)

You’re hiding your traffic route from your mobile operator and giving it instead to your vpn company who swear they are honest

The technology is magnifying the flaws in capitalism

If you are running it through Home Assistant- or indeed Apple HomeKit - it’s all local - no data collection

which, when uncontracted, becomes “are I not?”

Nope ‘are not I?’

Just a quick reminder that Twitter was banning 10s of thousands of accounts of extremists that breached its terms of service, including a certain ex president of the US. It was imperfect, but ‘running rampant’ is a stretch

Were Nazis allowed to deliberately ‘run rampant’ on Twitter pre-Elon? That’s a hot take.

Musk’s buying Twitter had nothing to do with it being ‘monetised’ as far as I see. Musk just offered such a stupidly large amount that the board had to say ‘OK, sure.’

If you want something a bit different, I’d recommend Life On Earth. This was the first of the Attenborough ‘big’ documentaries and broke the mold. It is perhaps more scientifically rigorous than the the later series - more aimed at explanation than spectacle, but fantastic imho

They are old, and are based around the ratter unfashionable ‘great men of history’ framework, but still fantastic in my view

Thanks. I hadn’t really thought of creating prompts like that but that’s a nifty idea
