USA Today working overtime for its shareholders.

Big Social is unsurprisingly winning the competition for individuals’ attention.

Wait, I thought you’re French, dad sniffing the Fox from France?

Goddamn!

Yeah, that’s all there’s to it, along with pure ignorance. In a past not so ideologically developed life, I’ve written code under Apache 2 because it was “more free.” Understanding licenses, their implications, the ideologies behind them and their socioeconomic effects isn’t trivial. People certainly aren’t born educated in those, and often they reach for the code editor before that.

So this sounds like a number they won’t be able to easily cover up.

True but Big Social would have many orders of magnitude more lawsuits to deal with. I guess it might still not matter.

Well, luckily many large Lemmy instances are outside the US. 😂

Isn’t this a death knell for Big Social Media?

I meant that they no longer need Google’s funding, however if Chrome becomes Mozilla, Google would have a real need to pay Mozilla to stay the default engine in Chrome.

They could sell it for $1 if they wanted to.

Also I think Mozilla is self sustainable from investment income from its endowment. Could be wrong.

I somehow don’t believe this is going to happen. But if it does, sell it to Mozilla?

Seems like it.

Elon Musk’s automaker has been backsliding in China for the past five consecutive months on a year-on-year basis, according to data from the country’s Passenger Car Association. Tesla’s shipments plunged 49% in February from a year earlier to just 30,688 vehicles, the lowest monthly figure since way back in July 2022, when it shipped just 28,217 EVs — and that was in the middle of Covid.

Yeah, I’m in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) in Canada. There’s 40+ nodes on the map that I’ve discovered by sitting on my balcony and 70+ nodes altogether:

I expected way fewer than that!

Yup. There are people occasionally writing in LongFast.

I know, I kid, but yes, I just got it because it’s cheap enough to try. In reality the only use case I envision right now is have a couple of units in the drawer for emergency scenarios.

Stop attacking me. 😂

But yeah, no use case other than - checking if it works. I’ll probably setup a standalone node on my balcony and leave it be to strengthen the network.

She goes out to talk about topics she’s not well versed in without doing enough research and says outright wrong stuff. In general, scientists who specialize in a field are often no better than a layman in the fields they have no background in. She’s not the only one who does this. Some scientists merely share uninformed opinions. Others do it for money. They build a persona that is imbued with trust by their existing expertise then they use this trust to keep pumping out other material for profit. That’s Sabine. Also Jordan Peterson. No they’re not the same but the scheme is. Laymen don’t know any better and absorb the material, correct or incorrect, since they don’t have the background to recognize when it’s bullshit.

I just got a unit couple of days ago and it… just works. It’s quite impressive.
