  • I mean if you pay attention most social media inundated with influencers and companies is basically:

    “Buy this, no buy this, buy this instead, spend your money here!” It even leeches into everyday conversations outside of social media.

    Pay attention to how often people talk about buying things and newly released products. Hell, I’ve caught myself contributing to it. It’s kind of gross when you realize how steeped in consumerism nearly everything has become.



  • What happens if you take a picture of the screen with your phone? Not ideal in terms of quality but I’m willing to bet it would work as a stupid easy bypass.

    What I’d like to see is an image format that is digitally signed by default so that modifications can be flagged and the source can be verified. Yeah people could modify them for malicious use cases (I don’t think it will be possible to ever prevent that unfortunately) but at least we’d know that it wasn’t the original. This doesn’t work for cases where people want to be anonymous but for things like social media selfies and posts where people are visible it could be helpful in preventing people spreading deepfakes and claiming they’re real.






  • Hey, if someone can actually do it in a way that:

    • Satisfies public safety requirements
    • Satisfies all legal requirements
    • Restricts usage to trained pilots or autopilot
    • Runs on electricity or other low/zero emission fuel source
    • Lasts an appreciable amount of time before recharge

    Then it may free up public roads enough to push pedestrian and bike usage while offering people a large incentive to go electric. I just don’t think the technology for personal automobile-aircraft hybrids is there yet.

    I’d love to be proven wrong.






  • Importantly, posts hosted and visible on Meta’s server will be subject to Facebook’s content moderation rules, which means those policies will likely have a sweeping impact across the Fediverse.

    Is it just me or does that sound like anything on instances hosted outside of meta’s own that can be merely seen from theirs? I’m all for moderation, the stricter moderation against hate-speech is part of why I joined Beehaw. But if I’m reading that right (I hope I’m not), then it seems like they plan to call the shots on other instances as if they have any say in what everyone else does right out of the gate.

    Maybe what’s meant here is simply defederation of entire instances and banning of problematic users like any other instance does, ok. But it could also mean pressuring admins to enforce Meta’s TOS on a case-by-case basis which feels like the start of EEE tactics.
