There’s no way this can cause the Earth to be catapulted into the Sun.

Hey, now. Seven bits per character were good enough for Granddad, they should be good enough for you.

The looks like an interesting process. It would cool to see someone create new ones but it won’t be simple given the requirements.

Digg picked the right time for a comeback.

Every little bit helps.

That’s a sad looking pizza roll. Geno is crying right now.

Governmental advocates for mandatory backdoors have no clue that they effectively make encryption moot. UK users will only be silghtly less secure with no encryption vs. backdoored encryption.

Sad, but understandable.

Free Speech Absolutist 🤣

It’s been obvious for a while that spez is trying to be a Musk/Zuck.

Enshittification intensifies.

spez is slow walking Reddit to the graveyard.

Dry run, I assume.

I don’t know if he specifically wants that so much as he doesn’t care if it happens.

He seems to think that doing this will force manufacturers to build in the US, versus the Biden approach of incentivizing them to do that. What he doesn’t realize this will do is raise chips prices and manufacturers will simply pass that cost onto consumers.

I suspect this is part of his strategy to hand Taiwan over to the PRC, if “strategy” can be used to describe anything he does.

How much longer will Bluesky survive without doing the same?

“Mildly” is putting it mildly.

I know this got a lot of downvotes, that’s fine. Most of my friends are not tech-savvy or young, they’re not going to be signing up for Lemmy or Mastodon. I’m not ready to lose touch with them entirely. I have taken steps to limit what info Meta can collect from me and stopped posting there entirely. I check in now and then to see if there’s anything big, but that’s it.

I’m waiting to see what happens before I make any moves. I’ve been on Meta apps for over a decade, I don’t want to lose the connections if I don’t have to.
