Roblox said it is designed with “rigorous built in safety features” and is “continually innovating new safety features — over 100 this year alone — that protect our users and empower parents and caregivers with greater control and visibility.”

The fact that they are framing it in this manner “100 features in this year alone” (what does this even mean?) suggests that they don’t care.

I don’t think it’s reasonable to assume that Yen is this naive.

As a Proton subscriber not from the US (but who has lived in the US); I find it difficult to believe that anyone could seriously claim that any of the two major US political parties have any interest in real competition and anti-trust.

One has to remember the Microsoft case from the 90s. I still don’t understand what the “legal excuse” was for not breaking up Microsoft.

Subscriber count is also used in fields that cannot be sorted (e.g. when searching for a community for cross-posting).

This is an issue with Lemmy too. Searching for a community by keyword ranks the results list by subscribers not by MAUs

Austin is the CEO of a spyware company, while these days it’s not seen this way, it’s not too far from being a leader of a criminal organization (in my humble opinion).

I donate on a monthly basis to some open source projects I find really useful.

I would argue it’s a cultural thing. The internet has conditioned every to think in terms of nominally free, so it’s difficult to get people to pitch in. There are also on-boarding issue, there is no standardized protocol for managing subscriptions/donations. The size of fees (in % terms) for small scale donations (e.g. $1 a month) are relatively high.

We are likely going to have a major change in socio-political thinking (e.g. compare and contrast the world before WW1 and after WW2) before we get anywhere with this.

Are you being sarcastic?

Monopoly money using image generation ML tech for the design. Special partnership with HP for printing these notes.

That’s the first thing that came to mind.

Some sort of scheme.

I am curious how they are planning to ban Mastodon. I am assuming they are going to block say the top 25 instances?

Fair point. :)

The only reason I mentioned this is I have multiple family members who have by this point learned how to stream via bittorrent and how to use rutracker.

Why not just use something like rutracker.org ?

All the netflix releases are on there and vast majority of them can be streamed via bit torrent. Just select language defaults in your media player and you’re good to go.

I would have never thought of that linguistic flow. :)

What does seppo mean and in which language? It doesn’t mean anything in the languages I know.

Mental illness.

How so? It’s pretty clear that Proton using “open source” in context of their LLM service is demonstrated to be false.

I don’t think it’s strange that a post like the one in your OP would be top (in terms of comments) for the year, with or without deleted comments.

Doesn’t unreasonable.

Considering the topic and that the Threadiverse has about 50K MAU, why do you think 5K comments is unreasonable?

Hell no, why would anyone sane give money to tankie scum like the Lemmy devs?

You are better off donating to World or the Piefed developers.

Check out DietPi, it’s a Debian/ARM distro for easy to use headless operation. They have a selection of well made CLI tools for installing and managing such tools.
