None of this is relevant to the fact that your claim isn't even the weakest of weak evidence for your position. It is literally completely unconnected. SEO is a problem because searching through adversarial data inputs is not a problem anyone has shown any capacity to solve.
And Google's search engine is a singular product. There is nothing to break it off from. Its position is exclusively the product of the fact that there is no other option that's remotely functional. Search is hard and no one else even has developed even a mildly interesting alternative.
An ereader is a piece of hardware that has a distinct purpose that cannot be matched by other hardware (high quality, high contrast, low power draw static content). Some of them do run Android, and that's a huge value add. But the actual hardware is the reason it exists.
This is just a dogshit Android phone. There is no unique hardware niche it's filling. It's an extremely obvious scam that is very obviously massively downgraded in all of value, utility, and performance by being forced onto separate hardware.
In the motion for reconsideration, the movie companies argued that Cox and other ISPs are not just mere conduit providers under DMCA §512(a); they would also fall under DMCA §512(d), as they can remove or disable ‘references or links’ to infringing content.
If this argument succeeds, a DMCA subpoena would be valid, as these do apply to services that fall under DMCA §512(d).
The movie companies used various arguments to make their case. For example, they argued that IP addresses are in themselves “references or links to infringing material” which can be disabled through null-routing. In addition, Cox can respond to takedown notices by implementing filters or blocking ports
Although the fines were originally proposed when the FCC was controlled by Republicans, the vote to finalize the penalties was 3-2 with dissents from Republicans Brendan Carr and Nathan Simington....
I mean, you can also bankrupt them with fines. But violating people's rights for profit should put you in a prison cell. And no minimum security bullshit.
Existing is shitty. There is no desire to "encourage" Facebook to do anything. Everything they touch is malignant and interacting with them in any way is a dumpster fire.
Quarantining Facebook isn't to affect their behavior in any way. It's because the mere fact that an instance connects to Facebook makes them toxic.
ADHD doesn't even really mean short attention spans, it's more of the inability to willingly direct attention. It's the same way people incorrectly use "OCD" to mean liking things clean and/or orderly.
Both of these are the product of needing constant stimulation. I understand your point that hyper-focus is also part of ADD/ADHD, and I certainly am not going to make claims about how your brain is changing structurally without evidence behind it.
So this is mere conjecture for a mechanism:
What these apps (with short format video being the worst) do is train your brain to expect a constant stream of dopamine hits. Novelty (presumably even trash novelty like TikTok) triggers dopamine, your brain becomes dependent on that steady stream of dopamine fix, and your body starts craving it once you remove that pattern of behavior.
This is very similar to ADHD, which is also strongly connected to problems with how dopamine is regulated. It's not as simple as just not enough dopamine or poor uptake or whatever, but it's reasonably clear that it plays a role.
So both cases are a result of poor dopamine regulation causing a need for stimulation that has a negative impact on ability to function from day to day. They're probably at minimum relatively similar.
I'm not going to argue if it's identical to ADHD chemically. I'm not sure we have the level of understanding of the low level mechanisms to differentiate (if it even is actually different), or even that ADHD is "one mechanism" and not a bundle of similar mechanisms of different types of disregulation with similar outcomes, because diagnosis of any mental difference is effectively all about checking boxes on patterns of behavior.
But even if there's something you can point to as clearly a distinguishing factor to say "this isn't ADHD as we've defined it", which I'm not sure you can, I'm not sure how you say they're not similar or related.
No, mind reading is a hundred orders of magnitude more invasive than any possible search.
There is no possible scenario where it could ever possibly be justified or excused. Your brain is unconditionally sacred. There is no possible theoretical version of such technology that could ever not be pure, unforgivable evil to use without completely uncoerced consent.
If they weren't all insane, twitter's format has value for following real time events. For sports, for example, following a personally curated selection of sports reporters makes it a lot easier to keep up with transactions across the leagues I care about.
Reddit's is better for discussion of those events, but not everything gets that far.
Facebook's is supposed to be for actual friends to keep up with what's going on in each other's lives. Obviously it's not actually talking, and you still want to do that, but it makes it easier to keep up with a larger group of people.
The problem with all of them is that they're owned and run by insane shitbags, so they're not worth the trade off. And the problem with fediverse alternatives is that they all rely on network effect to have their value. But in theory they each have a place, which is how they all managed to coexist despite the strong constraint of needing volume to serve a purpose. They serve different uses.
Power draw is heavily varied from fraction of a second to fraction of a second. TDP is more or less the target for average power draw over a longer period of time, and probably more importantly, something you're more likely to get a representative to answer. They're probably not going to give you the peak momentary power draw because it doesn't mean anything, and they probably won't give you average either. TDP is as much as you're likely to get.
Discord banned a mass of accounts that were part of a service that scraped and sold user data, including messages posted across servers and what voice channels they joined, 404 Media has learned. The move comes after 404 Media reported on the service, called Spy Pet, last week and verified it was selling access to genuine user...
This is why they changed their API to make bots that serve too many servers (100 maybe?) become verified and go through an application process to be able to ask for the message content intent, which was part of discord bot libraries revolting for a while. But their choice was actually a pretty good middle ground. There's very good reason to allow devs to build out and actually test the functionality on their own server or couple of servers without the giant limiting factor of getting someone from discord to evaluate every feature you might possibly add.
If they're doing this through regular user accounts instead, I don't know what you expect discord to do. Public servers aren't private. Hundreds to thousands of people can see your messages. They're not that different than posting them in any other public forum. Technical limitations only go so far.
For the target audience they chose that thing is a fucking bargain. Do you know how many people making damn good money sit in hours of 4 lane bumper to bumper traffic every day? "You don't have to drive and we assume liability if our system fucks up" is a massive value add.
(Not enough that I'd ever consider dealing with that kind of commute no matter what you paid me. But still.)
lol they also (in 10 at least; I have no intention of touching 11) have like 20 years of incoherent and unconnected menus for different settings, and you just have to know where they are to get to them.
The US, for one, which pretty much makes it apply universally anywhere on YouTube, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc, as they're all US companies.
We are both dependent on each other because that's how the global economy works, but we are not friends and there is no possible path to friendship unless one of our countries has an extremely bloody revolution and completely changes our mechanism of government.
The issue is that there are 1000 spam sites heavily optimized specifically to exploit Google’s algorithm for every legitimate site. Merely by not being the primary focus of SEO, alternatives have a pretty hefty advantage.
The government absolutely has unconditional and unlimited authority to restrict enemy states from ownership of anything in the US they want to.
There is absolutely no possibility of any Constitutional issue. The government has explicit authority to handle anything they want about international commerce in the Constitution.
Passing laws is how they regulate international commerce. Or one way. Treaties are another. Executive orders are another. Actions of regulatory bodies within frameworks established by prior legislation is another.
Congress passing legislation to stop hostile foreign ownership of a US business that’s doing harm is well within their authority.
A. It’s malware that does an obscene amount of spying, even compared to other social media. Forcing the sale isn’t good enough. It should have been outright banned.
B. That’s incorrect. Their authority over foreign trade is unconditional and absolute. There are absolutely zero restrictions on what they can do to restrict foreign trade. Non-US companies have literally zero constitutional rights. They can ban all trade with any foreign person or business who has any commercial interaction with China if they wish. The Constitution places absolutely zero restrictions on their authority to restrict international trade.
No, the slippery slope does not exist, ignoring that that’s a stupid fallacy for a reason. I am not an enemy state. I am a US citizen. I have Constitutional rights. TikTok doesn’t, and for very good reason.
Yes, they’ve been caught abusing multiple exploits.
Foreign trade is literally anything involving any person from any country that’s not the US, any corporation that isn’t based in the US, and anything involving any US citizen crossing the borders of the US and bringing anything back. The government has unconditional and unlimited authority to regulate and restrict all of it for any reason. There are absolutely zero limitations. The government can completely bar any foreign ownership of any US asset and any corporation that isn’t registered exclusively in the US from doing any business at all with anyone within the borders of the US. It cannot possibly be a Constitutional issue.
Yes, Congress could pass laws banning tourism by foreign nationals if they wished. The constitution is explicit that they can do literally anything they want to regulate trade with other countries, and they absolute do regularly ban and sanction foreign bad actors. It has nothing to do with laws that exist. There are numerous such sanctions already in place against China and Chinese actors, and it’s an inherent right of being a sovereign nation.
You have absolutely no rights to interact or do business with foreign actors. It cannot possibly violate your rights to be prohibited from interacting with China. Every single country on the planet breaks treaties when things change to the extent doing so is required, which is irrelevant, because China routinely bans US companies for the sole purpose of protecting their own state controlled entities.
There is nothing for the Supreme Court to rule on. There is nothing remotely ambiguous here and nothing that in any way resembles a new precedent. This is entirely standard behavior.
It’s starting in California where there are a meaningful number of high earners who are spending hours per day in 4 lane bumper to bumper traffic.
Having actual autonomy during those hours is still shit. But it’s a hell of a lot less shit than the tedium of the high attention requirements of sitting in traffic at a crawl.
They can also democratize the ability to develop solutions to non-developers,
This is insane. If you don’t understand everything a piece of code is doing, publishing it is insanely reckless. You absolutely must know how to code to publish acceptable software.
They are, but 95% of them have no clue what Facebook is using their site to do. They just handwave it away as “add this button and users can like your posts” without any actual effort to inform the site owner how invasive they are.
The company’s team clarified that their terms prohibit third-party apps from disabling ads, as it denies creators their due reward for viewership.

Some fans would follow. If 100% of their subscribed channels moved tomorrow, 90% still wouldn’t move to the new platform for a meaningful length of time.
