This has got to be some sort of psyop

That almost feels analogous to the world burning… like this is going to sound a little macabre but are you really expecting 2026 to be better? If so can you articulate why??

When I read about this I’m always brought back to the conversation of “internet as a public utility”. I hope it’s cool if we can take a tangent.

See unlike any of our other utilities like natural gas electricity water and sewage, the only thing that could potentially give any meaningful information about us is our sewage, and the government already tests sewage for diseases. If we allow the government to “sell” us our internet they would basically be able to know everyone we are “talking too”. Also how could we ever have enough regulatory oversight to protect everyone on the internet. Symmetrically if the government wants to have so much regulatory control over our internet it should maybe pay for it.

Like I wouldn’t mind even paying another 50 bucks a month extra for “private internet” just so the government can have their free and regulated “public internet”. Or would I (⁠・⁠–⁠・)⁠ゞ?

Does anyone know where these ratings come from? I don’t care because I don’t know I just want to check if there’s something worth caring about?

The same advantages as all free and open source solution, it’s free and open source. That means how much it’s going to cost to your business is directly under your control. You can make a decision on how you acquire hardware based on your business’s needs. If you want to add or change features you can decide how to do that based on the deals you have with your programmers (like pick the developer you have with the best skills and the lowest cost), and then you get to control how much it costs you and how reliable the result is going to be.

If you feel like the support you get from customer service from Amazon or Google or Microsoft is reliable enough and you don’t need more reliability then go ahead and stick with paid products. But if you already have a team of really expensive and talented engineers you might as well let them solve problems with free and open source equipment.

I wish Rocket Chat got more attention

Shit you’re going to have me learning French now

Fuck the French

That’s what we get for saying “why can’t I get a mortgage when I pay more in rent just bc my credit is bad”, the banks figured out how to rent properties to you.

Ok but I got to choose

I love sidogen/aichat a lot. It’s really intuitive and easy to put in bash scripts.

There is a metadata protocol called opengraph, it’s how apps get the information to display a rich preview. Basically the app takes the link as it’s written in the SMS message or Twitter thread and then it tries to fetch that page and then read the open graph metadata from inside. That should give it enough to show a title description and a background image, considering the web developers implemented opengraph.

If Google is planning to use their own servers basically as a proxy then all this means is that the opengraph rich metadata is going to be a little more stale than if the app just fetch the page and generated the rich metadata itself

Yeah so I get that… most of the US’s debts is to its citizens through treasury bonds. And yeah you can’t print money…

I was asking literally what would change? Like what would that change be? Like what does the world look like where the United States is not in debt?

Realistically speaking what could actually happen in the world to make it so that we are creating value again instead of accumulating debts.

We only have one picture in the world wide web of this ballroom being built???

See I knew I didn’t have to fucking read it

(⁠╯⁠ರ⁠ ⁠~⁠ ⁠ರ⁠)⁠╯⁠︵⁠ ⁠┻⁠━⁠┻

Why would that even be included in the summary to begin with? It doesn’t make people feel good or bad to read it?

It’s just repulsive unmarketable information.

Why the fuck should I read the rest of the article? I know I’ll get no objective or subjective value from it, if I want the bottom of the bone dry fucking barrel I would have to read the court transcripts.

I DON’T HAVE TIME TO ASK CHATGPT TO FIND THAT FOR ME!! I have to socialize with my friends and touch grass and be healthy!

Honestly OP at this point you shouldn’t’ve posted this thread. Lemmy isn’t going to fail because of lack of engagement and low user count, it’s going to fail because there are no more worthwhile links to post.

If you go to the complaints section, it’s a form that sends a letter to your local state representative

One thing I always stay weary of is all the details that were removed from the court records to fit it into a news report. Like you can’t include everything and what I find out whenever I look deeper then it’s not as horrible as what I thought it was… then next time I see an article like this I don’t read it bc I already know that this article is going to be just as bad as the last ones.

It’s kinda like ‘wolf’ has been cried to me basically all my life… like what kind of emergency/bad-thing do I actually need to respond too.

Exactly that, if I change a pixel then the cryptographic signature breaks

The NFTs tried to solve this problem already and it didn’t work. You can change the hash/sig of a video file by just changing one pixel on one frame, meaning you just tricked the computer, not the people who use it.

Why are these apps being distributed on app stores

Why are these apps not PWAs with an app store deployment wrapper???
