I think your comment works as a reply to claiming closed source is more secure than open source - you try to bring them both to the same level. I dont think it replies to what the …

It's quite easy doing better than Twitter considering the antics since the acquisition.

It very much is our problem what he does with/on Twitter because it affects us, it's one of the largest social media platforms, it's not a new yacht he bought. One of the valuable …

The second point is just confused. It isn't about if people would do it, it's on if Musk should be doing it. His antics include boosting misinformation like vaccine skepticism and …

That isn't at all true for Mastodon. Despite a very significant drop a while after the influx from twitter, looking at a few different sources it has twice as many monthly active u…

Your second paragraph isn't exactly right. The largest instances have a little duplication so there are something like 3 large gaming-related communities, 3 large world news commun…

FediDB.org has more conservative numbers, ~300k total users, ~100k active users: https://fedidb.org/current-events/threadiverse It's because of attempts at excluding spam accounts:…

Could you share a source for the 3% number? I only managed to find an AMA post about 3% of *mod actions" coming from third party apps: https://old.reddit.com/r/reddit/comments/145b…

The author is aware of that, mentions it towards the end: > Most of Reddit’s current data has been scraped anyway, so the game is to protect Reddit’s data going forward. But yes, P…

On Linux you can prevent being ptrace'd or having your core dumped by setting PR_SET_DUMPABLE in prctl. I've seen this used in places you'd expect like ssh-agent and GNOME's Keyrin…

No, people don't reject child marriages just because they don't like it, it is medically known to be harmful and children can't consent. Further, moral relativism is a dangerous an…

I've expressed this badly. By "but not what I wanted" I don't mean it suggesting an alternative. I mean it giving an answer claiming to do what I asked for, but which doesn't actua…

Errors like suggesting incompatible combinations of parameters or hallucinated non-existant params you will easily catch once you try them. But what about more subtle conceptual mi…

Why not just google it? Theres always a blog or stackoverflow question to copy snippets from. What keeps me away is that unless youre already familiar with a topic you wont catch e…

I'm curious why Twitter would adopt it. Breaking the walled garden would cost them. E.g wouldnt it mean allowing people to interact with twitter without using the official apps, me…

It's much more likely it just wasn't something you encountered in your practice and not that reliable sources analyzing American political and financial support for Israel all happ…

You use "guided". It still guides the largest religion and another important one. Even though it does give insight to its historical context, it is much more than an artifact. Crit…

It's still funny a company awash in money wouldn't just hire people to do this. And I'm quite sure people criticizing this won't be using it :)

Probably because while some data has been open-sourced, there isn't any statement on what other data be open-sourced, or a comittment to it by Google. Voice data hasn't been open-s…
