Reminds me of Youtube. Guns and drugs, don’t make advertiser friendly videos, and that’s why the platform only barely tolerates those videos. From the predictive of YT, they demand resources without giving any direct revenue. I can see the reason why those channels tend struggle so much.

What if the names were picked from whatever news was prominent during the release week. During last summer we could have had something like blackout or APIcalypse.

Well, it is non-binding. If a country wants to ignore it, they certainly can.

People who stay there regardless, totally had it coming.

Let that sinking ship join Myspace and Tumblr already. Revolting may rise awareness of the problem, but it isn’t going to change the direction where Reddit is headed. They need to become profitable, and they’ve decided to do that by backstabbing the users.

Care to elaborate what does it mean to: “encourage protecting personal data, monitoring AI for risks, and safeguarding human rights”.

Closer to 15 years ago. Skype and WhatsApp (before the FB nonsense) were viable options to SMS as long as your friends were also using the same app.

Although, the viability also depended on the price you had to pay for the data. If it’s like 1.5 €/MB, sending snail mail suddenly seems like a very appealing alternative. Some time around 2003-2005 there was still one company that actually charged that much while all the competitors were switching to monthly packages or even unlimited plans. The price range was absolutely wild back then.

A time when AI wasn’t involved with everything.

Remember that time when humans had to do everything, and if there weren’t enough people around to do it, then nobody do it.

Cat with wings? Isn’t a bat more like a rat with wings?

You shouldn’t touch them either. Minimum safe distance: 4 m.

I like to think of it as something similar to watching a football match from the other side of the fence. People who paid the ticket, are loyal fans. People who didn’t pay, but still want to see the match, probably aren’t even part of the target audience. Some of them might be, but that’s a small number.

So, when the football company says that they’ve lost the sales of x number of tickets, they are actually saying that if those people had enough money and if they cared enough, they might have paid this amount of money.

Just giving it random data should be good enough. If the users can’t trust the validity of the data, they might stop using the app.
