I agree with your point in general, but I have a hard time applying it here. Unless the lawsuit alleges that MM hacked into Twitter or doctored the screenshots, then the core claim of the MM report “Twitter served ad Y next to post Z” is not under dispute. If the claim is that refreshing a page is malicious, then I don’t think we need to wait to call the lawsuit malicious.
This is a beautiful blog post and I recommend reading it. I never used Omegle, but I now understand what we’ve lost.
PineTime checks these boxes for under $30. The caveat being that it’s an open source project without fancy features. Also, the heart rate monitor doesn’t work well on my skin, but it works for some people.
I love my PineTime, but I stopped using it because I wanted sleep tracking.
The concept of pornographic memory is hilarious without bounds. Like, you experience moments normally, but the second you try to recall them everything is sexy and two-dimensional.
You go for an appointment and are upset that everyone isn’t naked like you remember from last time.
You try to remember the steps for baking bread, and you can’t figure out how you ever managed to do it without getting flour EVERYWHERE.
You’re constantly perplexed by movie age ratings. Kids are allowed to see THAT?!
The tech that made this possible is really cool. They force DNA through a teeny-tiny hole in a protein, and measure changes in voltage to ID each individual letter.
Totally different from traditional shotgun sequencing!
I’m able to have 8ish exchanges before it asks me to pay. And using private browsing I can return as many times as I like. Though sometimes it wants money right away, so I leave and come back.
Mine wouldn’t let me act unreasonably :(
I believe Misskey/Calckey are meant to be exactly this, but I haven’t tried them yet.
Bravo to GPT-4 for that summary! Very cool study, thanks for sharing.
As of Thursday evening, r/PICS had dropped the NSFW designation, along with r/military.
Incredibly disappointing, but I’ll wait to hear their explanations and new plans of action.
Totally. I was just thinking about how my very specific life circumstances mean that I’m otherwise distracted and handling it pretty well. But if I were in a rough patch right now this situation would be really, really, really hard. I hope the people in that situation are okay and finding new refuge in places like this ❤
At the end of 2022, it had just under 1.8 million subscribers, according to the authoritative Alliance for Audited Media.
I guess I don’t have context, but that doesn’t sound like a failing, unprofitable magazine in 2022?
I can second this. Been using AntennaPod for about 10 years and it’s perfect for my needs.
I believe the reason that Rush publicised was that his vision wasn’t 20/20, but I suspect your point would have disqualified him later in the process anyway.
Whistleblower asked for non destructive examination of the material to understand its flaw structure
Do you know what would have been involved here? Some kind of imaging, I assume?
Thanks for the write up!
No problem, good to know. Thanks for trying!
Cameron made a documentary about his sub called “Deep Sea Challenge” that’s pretty enjoyable. It’s available for free on Pluto TV, for those able to VPN into the USA.
Cameron’s sub wasn’t officially certified, but it was extremely well tested and he’s been clear that he never would have let anyone else use it without certifying it first.
I’d love an invite if you still have any!
Okay, that’s a fair point. They left too many blanks for the reader to fill in, and some will assume the problem is more widespread than it is.
When I put my Social Scientist hat on, I don’t think the methodology was totally unreasonable or obviously malicious, so X would have to strengthen their claims to convince me to wait for court. But you’re right, MM should have done better.
