Nothing. Instances will have to take it upon themselves to defederate, just like how a lot of instances all decided to defederate from Threads.

If it was the same pressure all the time, does that mean he couldn’t do anything that would otherwise cause a normal heart to beat faster (run, exercise, feel nervous)? Would he faint or something since his “heart” won’t beat faster?

System1 specifically, which is also mentioned in the article you linked. Privacy Tools has also lost their reputation recently. Privacy Guides is more of the standard now. I know they cleared up their position, but ads and privacy together just doesn’t sit right with me. I’m just glad there’s an alternative.

If they bundled youtube music with it, maybe I’ll consider it. But this lite version will have ads on music and music videos.

They were bought by a shady company a while back.

Nice! I’ve been wanting to get off startpage for a while now. This is a perfect replacement.

I’m surprised they weren’t already on there.

Reminds me of the time I was at a security conference. Obviously there was a lot of networking going on and a group of people I was talking to decided to connect on linkedin. They were sharing the qr code thing from the app and I said I didn’t have it. At first they thought I wasn’t on linkedin (and were baffled at that), and I had to clarify I HAVE an account but I don’t have the app on my phone. They were confused and I had to explain how much info the app wants to grab. And this was at an application security conference.

On the other hand, some businesses would rather offload the manpower, maintenance, and risk to a service provider instead of doing it on-prem by themselves. Really depends on the business though.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a new car in 2025 that doesn’t have steering wheel controls unless you go out of your way to look for one (if there is any).

There are buttons on the steering wheel to skip songs and adjust the volume.

I’m actually a fan of big screens, HOWEVER they should be limited to being an actual “infotainment” system only. All essential controls should be buttons, switches, and dials.

GL.Inet sells routers that run openwrt out of the box. I’m not claiming they’re guaranteed to not be modified to collect data, but just giving an example that there are consumer grade products out there that are better options, you just need to look for them.

I have to admit there are 2 ai-made music stuff that I like - the one with the bugs playing death metal, and the one that converts social media roasts into songs. But that’s about it.

For such a large org, they did not have 2-party review/approval for high risk changes prior to this incident. You’d think there would be at least peer review and approval before a change is implemented.

I saw one thread where lemmy was being recommended and some people were on board with moving over, so that was nice to see.

I was sad to hear that it shut down. I was just about to consider uploading my music there. Unfortunately I don’t have the resources to host it on my own so couldn’t really contribute on that end.

It was only “in error” because they were caught.

WTF is going on with modern software development?
