The algo id why people like TikTok, and targeting is key to making that work.
You can ban micro targeting people to sneak in political propaganda, but it’s too hard to detect. Which is why they passed a law that removes the party that would benefit from the political propaganda.
The company is called Hello Fresh, because that’s what they’d say when a batch of fresh Guatemalan children rolled into the packing plant.
The worry with TikTok is around wiretapping, it’s around collecting micro targeting data, the using that data to target people with politically censored content streams and or propaganda.
Microsoft does the same crap with Office 365’s apps that support both a personal and corporate account. I have to authenticate with my company if I want to use outlook to access my personal account. If you have multiple accounts, and one is corporate, your IT team can enable enterprise privacy crap that sits on top of the entire client, including personal accounts.
The obvious workaround is to not use outlook for personal email, but still, WTF.
This is some RFK level bullshit designed to make people question safe medicine.
Mods, yank this.
Yes, companies who make drugs pay for studies to test whether or not their drugs are safe and effective. They’re fucking supposed to.
In order for a drug to be legally used, pharmaceutical companies pay for trials and studies about their drug, and have those trials and studies vetted by multiple independent governmental regulatory bodies around the world.
Many antidepressants are old as fuck, have been studied to high hell, have generics that no longer produce large financial incentives, and have been independently vetted by regulators around the world.
Interesting. TIL.
My guess is that Google, like Apple, it’s pretty nervous about letting developers go crazy with UIs that are used while driving.
I know that, for CarPlay, the approval process is more ridged than with a mobile or desktop app.
My guess is that Google and Apple don’t want to be found liable for dangerous / distracting technology.
I’m confused. Non google maps can run on Android auto and can even run on the Home Screen view. Same for CarPlay and alternatives to Apple Maps.
One more reason I’m glad I bought a car with CarPlay / Android Auto support.
I’ve wanted something like that as well. I’m currently playing around with BlueSky feeds to get streams of science and technology content. Lemmy’s technology communities are often tech drama and or Linux stuff, and miss out on other things that are happening in the industry.
I chose to believe it was the developer of Ninja Golf.
Yeah. Autocorrect on macOS keeps correcting to capital B and S. There is some sort of existing proper noun in its dictionary. Weird.
What’s up with the multiple account in this thread that refer to BlueSky in all caps? Is this one person spamming from multiple accounts, or is that a thing?
Lemmy /all is basically memes, tits, and articles about crazy Trump shit.
Most of the anecdotal stuff I see online says their current CEO is the largest owner. That said, you claim it’s Jack. I’m just curious about where you heard that. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I’m curious to see what gets promoted in Japan. BlueSky’s discover feed in the US is fairly politics-heavy right now since a lot of the new users have been fleeing X’s MAGA swamp.
I have no problem with political posts, but I’m hungry for some more organic variety. If I want variety I have to put in a lot of manual work to find people and topics to follow.
Do you have a source for the “largest shareholder” thing? I’m having a hard time finding anything about that.
Re bullet 2. Irresponsibility.
My theory is that it is isn’t the badge on the car, it’s the fact that people’s grocery getter now was the performance of a high-end sports car from a decade ago. And, like a with a sports car, Teslas are designed to encourage users to have “fun” driving. Every test drive from a Tesla store ALWAYS includes a segment where the store rep encourages people gun it onto or on a large open road.
Before Telsa it was the German manufacturers who dominated the commuter-car-with-sports-car-performance market. And guess what? Those people drove like a-holes.
When I was in middle school I thought “warez” was pronounced “juárez.” I’m not a smart man.
Depends on the appliance. For example, LG dishwashers have good track records.
Different manufacturers excel at making different things. Don’t shop by brand, that’s how you get stuck with a lemon. Read the product reviews and expect different brands to be better at different things.
