@Midnitte Waste handling has me curious as well.

@stopthatgirl7 This seems like quite the lift and shift. Moving to a new platform would definitely split their user based. I would also thin that any form of aggressive defederation would split their user base as well. From what I can tell, there are not many (if any) fediverse platforms that have the level of moderation tools they they are looking for.

Unfortunately, It just looks like they are in a tight spot. One the could make or break that community.

Good ol’ @ernest … always on top of things. Thank you, sir!!

@Haui

I have not noticed many spammers here on kbin. But, when I do, the way I handle it is:

1. Reduce/Report.
2. Do I see the same user posting spam, block user.
3. Does it seem to come from the same domain, block domain.

Bodhi was one of the first linux distros I tried. I have fond memories of that little distro.

TIL: There was something called Google Flights.

@waspentalive Weird. Shows up just fine for me. I have never seen a captcha on archive.is. But here is the original, but it is paywalled: https://www.newscientist.com/article/2388697-plastic-bottles-can-be-recycled-into-energy-storing-supercapacitors/

Sounds like they need their own mastodon server.

Go home #Xitter, you’re drunk.

The biggest thing to note about the new messenger, by far, is that the developer intends to provide end-to-end encryption. More impressively, the app is intended to work with any Fediverse account.

This would make cross communication across the fediverse easier and may even interest others to join. It gives a leg up to the InstaRedFaceXTwitThreadApps since you can just use your one fediverse account.

There are definitely some open questions about how Sup works with the rest of the Fediverse. Do users just sign in to a service via an OAuth dance with their Fediverse accounts? Do the messages federate over ActivityPub? Does my server store my messages, or does just the app store those?

These questions and more would have to be answered before I signed up though.

@JoBo I just googled it and Kenya came up as the first hit in Search and in Bard.

“Consumers should be fully aware of the “hidden” costs (privacy, risks, and advertising messages) associated with such tech and not just the cost of getting such implants,”

This should be at the top of the article.

Seems a little too invasive for me.

They are definately looking to make money off of it: https://www.feedough.com/how-google-maps-works-makes-money/

#kbin which is like reddit + twitter. Somethings I post as threads (like reddit) some things I post as posts (like twitter). Then I hop between the two when reading. Posts fall under microblogs and federates with Mastodon. So it is like having thing I need in one account.

Isn’t that sort of like the fox watching the hen house?

At least #twitter made it to come up with a play on brexit …#Xit!

No doubt, Google wants to be the only gateway to the web and control it.

Gotta mine that data anyway you can!
