We’re going to need to do something as heavier electric vehicles become the norm. It’s actually kind of insane how many microplastica come from vehicle tires.

The idea of adding a filter between human connection that will distort the message for profit is crazy for a few reasons. Most of all because it simply doesn’t need to happen.
I mean how many of the current worldwide ills are a direct result of algorithms designed to increase engagement through ragebaiting? Disinformation is effective in no small part due to these algorithms making sure you’re made enough to engage and doom scroll. As long as you have a profit motive in these discussions this will be inevitable as far as I can see.
When you imagine a world without Fox/Twitter/Meta/Reddit/Google (not all as culpable of course) force feeding things intent on making you engage (most easily though anger/rage - thanks evolution) it’s hard not to picture a better world. The internet pre-corporate control was a very different place due to a number of factors. I would argue mostly due to a lack of profit motive on social connection.
I’m so sick of corporate control over social media. The more I think about it the more absolutely insane it seems to me.
Hopefully kbin comparability is an option once their API is sorted
Really need a way to hide the thumbnail on these.
Given the progress in just the last year… that’s terrifying.
I assume this will just burn up on re-entry?
I know NASA ships their garbage back though, so I can only assume there’s a good reason for that…
“Android 12 added an easy-access feature for emergency services: just press the power button five times, and your phone will dial emergency services for you”
Man, who could have seen this one coming?!
I hate everything about this. I came here to escape the Corporations damnit!
I don’t even care what the vote was for. But the fact that over 94% of people agreed on anything is crazy to me.
Is it really a big problem right now?
Like we have Bluetooth for medium range, wifi for long range, and NFC for short range.
I would argue it’s a feature.
PWA installs - nice!
Attentions whores, the lot of them.
And equal parts terrifying.
I actually just googled to make sure bookbark wasn’t some new service I just hadn’t heard of yet…
Honestly surprised there isn’t more. There’s a lot of money that would be lost if the fediverse became more mainstream.
