So many buzzwords but nothing interesting.

Why no one talks about other victims of car accidents and their is about 6k per month on average in US alone. But Uber and Tesla are on headlines when someone dies and there is like what 3-4 victims in total after all those years? It is not even worth mentioning.

Of course but imo it's not good strategy when you are dividing into hundreds of instances with 500+ users.

People still need to pay for it. FSF would also die of hunger if it were not for people donating them money they have to earn first... so nothing is free.

Yes, but so called "social media" isn't about installing anything to operate with. Twitter blow up the scene because it was super easy to start with and start sharing short sentences. In Mastadon you need to find a proper community, signup and start reading, but there is not interesting content there, no celebrities, no NASA, no Musk, no news magazines there is nothing that attracts typical users. But this is just my opinion. Until someone figure out a way to make Mastodon a one network to rule them all nothing will change.

And who writes on Mastodon? Mostly devs or Trump? Maybe Obama? Ellen? No? So no one will use it, ever. I'm not against technology as it is great, but looking on this as a normal user it's not appealing to me. Mastodon is like old fashion phpBB forums 15 years ago, closed groups who talk with each other. ;)

Mastodon will need to find business model sooner or later as internet isn't free as in beer because beer costs money and you can't handle 100m users with donations.

Yea, they sell culture and give away free food. As you can see[0], most devs at FB are eating, traveling, eating, going to cafes or eating some more. ;-)

So developers are building "social media" for developers with famous 30 minut install, make new instance or manage it by yourself kind of thing.

Typical social media users will never get into fediverse as they still are using shortcut to google.com as their "internet connection".

But great that technology is moving forward.

Game limits, not wanting to share private account with some random folks used in games or for commercial purposes aka selling account later on and I can tell that this business is booming! :)

Great thing about Elon is that he believes in everything so much he is probably laughing reading those articles. I understand that myself, would lough too. There will be no future without 100% automation and for me this is the best bet you can make. We have so many areas of life that need to be automated and someone has to be first. Companies that have ancient roots are too unreformable and don't want to change what already works well for them, which is why BMW is lagging behind, despite the fact that it can produce millions of cars a year.

People will go crazy, say that he lost everything, he is stupid, etc... But he will not give a f%#k just to return with double power and hit like no other.

Yea, that is still a huge number, but for advertisers that use FB as a platform is a huge waste of money and FB could easily abuse that as well.

This don't change my comment still many of them are fakes. I know people who have 5-6 accounts active at one time playing different games with 500+ friends on it. Many of those "friends" also are fakes, some even with the same profile picture of "real person" with fake data but I have nothing against FB, every medium is abused.

It's just interesting that not a single research was done on this topic that I know about. :)

Probably half of that are fake profiles, profiles made by people for commercial purposes or bots. If you make fake account and you will start wandering in the endless facebook steppes, you will notice that many of them are one post account that advertise or play games. The best ones are those with pictures of known or lesser known models to collect friends and sell such an account for dollars later. I have reported several hundred of such profiles, of which maybe 1/20 have been blocked rest is fine because moderators can't see difference between real life person and photo from google images in 20 accounts in a row...

Yes: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/jun/30/tesla-aut...

Because normal users are not techies. They just use whatever they want and not getting into their company information, privacy or other things.

World is about money. You have to realize that that best money come form people who don't give a f$#k. They click on ads, they give their personal data, they buy the most, etc. We can rant as much as we want that Apple does not give us PRO hardware that Microsoft does the same but most of their income is from ordinary people who just use their hardware/software.

Do we really need to go over and over with this again?

Kayako. No direct account deletion, they need to poke engineer to do it after many requests. They require your personal information and CC to use free plan. No direct downgrade button to free plan if on trial.

> Oh, and EU users finally get the privacy they deserve.

Of course we do. GCHQ will defend us if someone want to violate our privacy. ;)

No matter what way of installing you choose they inform you via official website about pre-release version witch includes notice about sending automatic feedback. You don't need to prove your point in the most bizarre way and you can inform PPA admin to add this little line for clarification.

I'm not judging I wrote that everyone has it's own use case. My only point is don't use test version if you don't want to be tested or opt-out of it. ;)

Yes, for stable version if they want to track something more. But we are talking about test version. You accept this when downloading "Firefox Nightly automatically sends feedback to Mozilla.": https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/privacy/firefox/#telemetry

How you want to improve something without data? Based on intuitions?

Seriously they have to? Isn't this obvious enough? When downloading TEST RELEASE you willingly accept that it will collect anonymous data and send it to them. If you do not want to test something, because you're opposed to it, do not do it.

A lot of companies do that and I do not see anyone complaining about it for example Apple and macOS betas.

So how do you want take web forward without testing new things based on real life data? Did you even read what they want to do and how they are going to do it?

You are using Nightly "wrong" because of attachment to old extensions that will perish in June when all legacy stuff will be blocked. Nightly is only for testing out new features and it's not intended to be production ready browser... but everyone has an own use case. Yet do not beat them for wanting to change something for the better after using testing technology.

Some people just want to see the world burn. So maybe let's delete the whole internet and get back to letters, telegrams, pidgins and encyclopaedias? No one is forcing you to use dev, nightly or anything else if it is not consistent with your faith. Especially Mozilla they made some silly things but are one of the most "privacy and shit" companies out there and they will not come to your house and beat you because you do not want to do something.

Idea is great but this logo looks like evil douchebag kind of guy with this tagline "Not the bot you deserve, but the one you need" doesn't look great. You definitely need to work on your brand. :)

Deleted comment.

Because it is completely impractical. I used LS but it's a waste of time to check and block ads servers or malicious domains, which is why most garbage should be blocked from hosts or dnsmasq.

Using Little Snitch to block all Facebook connections is like using goat to land on moon...

This is what I call a full of shit company. People will stab you in a back to work for those but when they are there they start to realise how rotten it is. Then it's too late for them as they are getting into the Stockholm syndrome. Afraid to go, being pushed around because they do not believe they can do something better somewhere else and such CEOs take advantage of the situation to use them as much as possible and throw them away like a used condom.

I hate this and it is not worth wasting life working for such companies or such people even for one day.
