@mbirth@lemmy.ml “Some of them”, sure.

Which is not 90% of them. It’s the exceptions.

If a block-button stopping read-ability works in 80% of the cases, it’s better than one that works in zero percent of the cases.

Look at twitter.com/@elonmusk in a private tab.

Most of the posts you see are from 2022!?

The block button on Twitter has gone from 80% effective to 0% effective.

Well done Musk. Well done.

@mbirth@lemmy.ml And yet that minor inconvenience is enough of a hurdle that Musk thinks he has to get rid of it. Following a profile logged-out is impossible now, and alt-accounts are a pain to maintain. I’d wager that in way over half of the cases where someone is blocked, they do in fact then never see the blocker’s posts because they don’t run alts or view logged out.

Is there anything more bullish than a big media organisation warning their readers not to buy? Top signal is when the NYT says it’s great and everyone should buy in. Seems there’s a way to go yet.

@beeng@discuss.tchncs.de I wonder what proportion of the original code is still there. Not much I shouldn’t think. The original app didn’t ask for android permissions the way the modern one does, if only coz Android changed the way permissions work since then.

Whatssapp is designed as a surveillance app, it’s primary purpose is to collect data from your phone for Facebook to analyze, so they make it basically impossible to use unless it’s installed on your phone.

Seems unlikely they’ll deleted it. If they’re started deleting data that’s quite a change. They might save from bandwidth costs of delivering it to people I suppose.

Maybe something to do with users filling the AIs from the google cache? Google wanting to ensure only they can train from the google-cache.

@Norgur@kbin.social hehe.

A stylus holder too, an extra battery of course, too to handle the extra load.

No phone has been better than the n900. But a case that had the keys and extra power and maybe a secondary status screen on the back, and didn’t look like a bananna themed children’s toy. Could be nice.

Ah, I really wish Oculus had sold themselves to almost any other company on the planet :(

@XeryBlox The first thing I would pirate would be a hacked version of Firefox that had ad-blockers in it.

If I can’t get that then I’d think about abandoning the web for Gemini.

Probably the “company” that they thought you were shilling for is Kbin or Lemmy? Which aren’t companies of course, but an understandable mistake.

Presumably the people on Reddit will become more and more in favour of the admins, as everyone who isn’t leaves.

Soon all that is left will be the Spez Fan Club.
