Uh, Android is the alternative to Apple’s iOS. Android is much more customizable.

They are blocking new ones, not old ones.

Are they new posts or old ones? They are blocking new ones, not old ones.

I think this is going to look like crap in 10 years. I support building your own, I just think it can be done way better.

Not like that. A server name that can be authenticated. Like when you receive an email from your bank (in the metadata), you know it’s legitimate. Each organization can set up their own server to host things they vouch for. With ActivityPub it can be viewed elsewhere with the guarantee that it’s from a trusted source.

It’s called a “name”.

Why would anyone pay for the service? Having a “name” is free, and that dumb worldcoin only works for people. It can’t work for governments or businesses.

ActivityPub is actually a good way to authenticate things. If an organization vouches for something they can post it on their server and it can be viewed elsewhere.

generative AI makes it very easy for anyone to flood the internet with generated text, audio, images, and videos.

And? There’s already way too much data online to read or watch all of it. We could just move to a “watermark” system where everyone takes credit for their contributions. Things without watermarks could just be dismissed, since they have as much authority as an anonymous comment.

I just realized something: since most people have no idea what AI is, it could easily be used to scam people. I think that will be it’s main function originally.

Like the average person does not have access to real time stock data. You could make a fake AI program that pretends to be a trading algorithm and makes a ton of pretend money as the mark watches. The data would be 100% real and verifiable, just picked a few seconds after the the fact.

Since most people care a lot about money, this will be some of the first widespread applications of real time AI. Just tricking people out of money.

😂

Tone police? That’s rich, coming from the comment police. Besides, you said it twice:

Nothing has changed, it was obvious what was happening long ago, but we’ve done nothing but watch it get worse.

Do you think no one can provide context for your comments? Everyone has to agree with you 100%?

So you’re intentionally exaggerating when you say “nothing has changed”. Yeah nothing has changed, except an entire Executive Branch department that didn’t exist before. It was more influential than many other books written at the time.

Of course the author wanted the book to be even more influential, that’s why authors write. No writer says “this book kinda sucks, I hope people read half of it and put it down”.

“The Jungle” famously spurred large reforms. The FDA exists and has a lot of power because people were disgusted by what they read.

That’s why you’re reading a hundred-year-old book: it was influential.

These investment ideas aren’t new. This information has been available publicly for a long time. It doesn’t give you any benefits above a normal index fund.

Just because an ETF exists doesn’t mean it’s a good investment. ETF sponsors make a percentage based on assets under management. It doesn’t matter if they make money, just that you invest. Kind of like a salesperson working on commission.

I would say the fact that there’s only a few managers using this strategy means it doesn’t work.

Right but you still can’t trade on that. I mean, if you can please do, but you really won’t get actionable info by knowing that someone in Congress holds some shares of UPS.

No you see, these companies want trained workers but don’t want to pay for them (training or already trained workers). Complaining is free but is ultimately a lie.

If they really wanted trained workers they’d pay for training. Same as they did during the industrial revolution, WW2, the post war period, etc. It’s not rocket science.

It’s not though, because you don’t know about the trades ahead of time. If you can use delayed info, the actual stock market is delayed info too. You only know about it after it happens.

You can just buy a used phone too. An older pro is going to be better than the new A. Same price too.

Bitcoin is just a scam in general.

“Bro, I’ll sell you this really complicated number. No one else has it.”

“What can I do with it?”

“Sell it for more money to a bigger fool than you.”
