Do you understand what “comparing” means?

And a shortcut to open Microsoft® LinkedIn® at OS level, and what surprises me the most is that uses your default browser instead of always opening it in Edge.

In comparison with Windows and iOS, Mac OS is a paradigm of respecting the user. Of course that’s only because the bar is firmly embedded on Earth’s inner core.

Like everyone using an advertisement company’s browser engine?

[Insert Rich Tech bro] is actually a nazi? I’m shocked. Shocked. Absolutely dumbfounded. /s

It would be more newsworthy to find any tech plutocrat that doesn’t have a far-right view of the world. But I would expect them to find a flying unicorn first.

TLS certs can have one level of wildcard (even let’s encrypt supports this), and creating subdomains programmatically is not exactly black magic - the main blocker from the technical side is that the code to update the DNS is usually not portable between providers, so it’s not adequate for a federated open source project.

That still requires the email to be in clear text before it gets re-encrypted by Proton mail. SMTPS gets terminated at your email provider’s boundary.

Are you comparing things that are physically limited by nature to something that is made artificially limited by a trade cartel?

China is not keeping tiktok for money.

That should happen regardless. The main issue with tiktok is not the concept, it’s the recommendation algorithm and the agenda behind it.

One of the effects of capitalism is that people are conditioned to think as growth in quantity is the end goal of all human activity.

This makes it harder to realize that, as far as the Fediverse is concerned, at very least, Lemmy and Mastodon have achieved viable self-sustaining networks and that driving inorganic growth by targeting users in other platforms would reduce the viability of the network because it makes onboarding new users harder. An example of this even inside reddit was when a subreddit got a sudden large influx of new subscribers they invariably lost what made them stand out in the first place.

“unintended”

Most people wouldn’t think of them if you ask them to name a battery maker point blank.

Those contracts have more disclaimers than anything else.

It’s happening to me too. It started when my instance updated to 0.19.

There’s https://unifiedpush.org/ as an alternative, but apps need to support it explicitly.

And they knew from the very beginning ads would corrupt the search engine because Sergei Brin and Larry Page wrote an article about it:

Up until now most search engine development has gone on at companies with little publication of technical details. This causes search engine technology to remain largely a black art and to be advertising oriented

…

Currently, the predominant business model for commercial search engines is advertising. The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users

…

Furthermore, advertising income often provides an incentive to provide poor quality search results […] In general, it could be argued from the consumer point of view that the better the search engine is, the fewer advertisements will be needed for the consumer to find what they want. This of course erodes the advertising supported business model of the existing search engines. […] But we believe the issue of advertising causes enough mixed incentives that it is crucial to have a competitive search engine that is transparent and in the academic realm.

This is primarily to ensure we can support the load for developers on GitHub and help protect the servers from being overwhelmed by anonymous requests from bots etc.

So, Azure’s bot protection is crap. Good to know.
