I'm sure you're onto something but you haven't explained it well.

Why would Google show me your personal favorite recipes? Why wouldn't most recipes for a dish be slight variations of each other?

@krusynth

The credit card thing is a red herring or at best a misunderstanding.

Also banks were famously "neutral" when it came to Nazis needing to store value they systematically stole from their victims. I don't expect banks to act on ethically sound motivations.

Ghost seems like it has that network to post on and get started easily, I'm simply choosing the do it yourself option because I'm as interested in the infrastructure as I am in publishing ideas.

Thanks for providing your perspective! Enjoy the weekend! Merry Christmas!

https://ghost.org/ looks really nice! Thanks for the brief overview!

@wonkothesane

Thanks for the pointer to https://ghost.org/

I'm thinking about installing it this weekend!

How does notd compare to https://ghost.org/docs/ ?

I'm liking what ghost seems to offer. I might self host it.

There's no way that this isn't 99% a communication and outreach issue. The poor outcomes stemming from the US government not funding awareness campaigns about health recommendations were exposed by COVID-19 and nothing has changed since. I know a father who is currently raising several children under the age of 6 who wasn't aware that the flu is much more lethal to toddlers and that the flu vaccine recommendation for children from 6 to 24 months old is due to that fact. He's an intelligent and generally curious adult who's too busy raising several children to keep informed about why schools and doctors are requiring or recommending certain vaccines. There needs to be better public outreach even in the face of people screaming about government propaganda and indoctrination.

How many people over 60 even know that vaccination against RSV is recommended? How many are being given reminders of how to easily access more information about it? How many people don't even know what RSV is?

Meta can easily harvest ActivityPub federated data without implementing ActivityPub federation in Threads.

The biggest concern is overwhelming moderators in no small part due to the lack of knowledge, planning, and experience one should expect of amateur administrators and moderators to have in dealing with moderation concerns when there's a sudden 3x (or higher) order of magnitude increase in federated accounts.

That and the inevitability of a huge increase in ads and sponsored and commercially driven content.

The branding policy of Amazon has caused a lot of trouble for the USPTO too. Resellers (companies that stamp a brand on generic products or simply unbranded products) are overwhelming the USPTO with trademark applications to create brands using strings of random letters.

@freemo

The reviews are talking about different products. They sold a 64GB card on that listing before and they switched it to a "1TB" card after they got enough positive reviews. When the negative reviews roll in they'll take this listing down and move it to another listing that's currently getting good reviews for some other product.

An except recovered from https://web.archive.org/web/20231117025741/https://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-hackers-appin/ :

"The Indian company hacked on an industrial scale, stealing data from political leaders, international executives, prominent attorneys and more. By the time of the Shinnecock scandal, Appin was a premier provider of cyberespionage services for private investigators working on behalf of big business, law firms and wealthy clients.

Unauthorized access to computer systems is a crime worldwide, including in India. Yet at least 17 pitch documents prepared for prospective business partners and reviewed by Reuters advertised Appin’s prowess in activities such as “cyber spying,” “email monitoring,” “cyber warfare” and “social engineering,” security lingo for manipulating people into revealing sensitive information. In one 2010 presentation, the company explicitly bragged about hacking businessmen on behalf of corporate clients.

Reuters previously named Appin in a story about Indian cyber mercenaries published last year. Other media outlets – including The New Yorker, Paris-based Intelligence Online, Swiss investigative program Rundschau and tech companies such as Alphabet-owned Google– have also reported on the firm’s activities.

This report paints the clearest picture yet of how Appin operated, detailing the world-spanning extent of its business, and international law enforcement’s abortive efforts to get a handle on it."

Not pricing carbon emissions to keep the cost to those producing them in line with their actual costs makes this analysis much harder than it needs to be.

Globally, we do so much of the opposite by subsidizing carbon emissions that we've all ended up in the middle of a game where the people who produce or pay for things that produce the most carbon emissions get outsized benefits. And many people very much have become accustomed to those benefits.

I read a bit about research on this sort of drug several years ago. So cool to see progress has been made!

This is to help close the gap in lifespan between large dog breeds and small dog breeds.

@Anachron

That's the strength of EXT4. It's probably all that most people need. But eventually, something with more conveniences and features will be as stable and reliable. I hope that thing is #bcachefs

@Anachron

zfs isn't about solving for backups. If you use zfs and your data is important, you should still have backups (zfs can help facilitate implement of a back up process). zfs is for making sure your data isn't corrupted and you can quickly fix, restore, and move your data in a way that gives more confidence that the data is what you intend it to be when want you use it.

It will be interesting what turns up when bcachefs becomes more widely adopted. It's very ambitious with its goals. Can't wait to see how close it is to reaching them.
