Google gets its way, bakes a user-tracking ad platform directly into Chrome
  • Does this only affect Chrome or all Chromium based browsers? Are Brave and Edge going to be implementing this too?

  • Biden administration to reportedly relax EV rule on pollution-limiting tailpipe emissions
  • I feel like this isn’t talked about enough. Charging at home doesn’t work for a lot of people. Give me a fast charger at the grocery store so I can charge while I shop and I’m in!

  • Biden administration to reportedly relax EV rule on pollution-limiting tailpipe emissions
  • I only have street parking at my house and I don’t even have any outlets on the front of the house.

  • Biden administration to reportedly relax EV rule on pollution-limiting tailpipe emissions
  • Sadly the charging infrastructure isn’t there yet. There’s only a handful of level 2 chargers near me so I’m it’s not practical at all unless I want to go through the hassle of getting charger installed at my house.

  • Russia claims full control of Avdiivka after Ukrainian retreat
  • They wanted to stay in Afghanistan even after 20 years but 2 years of Ukraine is too much.

  • Commerce cop repeatedly charged innocent drivers with DUI
  • That is some next level power tripping.

  • Obama urged Biden to beef up campaign amid worries about Trump strength in polls: report
  • Maybe not every democrat is a progressive and that’s why they vote against them? That’s democracy, not everyone agrees with you and sometimes you don’t get your way. Gotta work to change people’s mind and not just say fuck ‘em.

  • Obama urged Biden to beef up campaign amid worries about Trump strength in polls: report
  • That’s not what I said. Moderate dems need to lose to progressives and not to conservatives to move the party left.

  • Obama urged Biden to beef up campaign amid worries about Trump strength in polls: report
  • I don’t understand why people think the democrats losing to someone farther right would make them move left. Doesn’t it make more sense they’d move to the right since that’s what more voters wanted?

  • Most of the 100 million people who signed up for Threads stopped using it
  • It was super easy to sign up but ultimately it’s missing a lot of features and is why people didn’t stick around. There’s still no search or hashtags so finding content that interests you is basically luck with the algorithm.

  • Pentagon blasted for failing five audits and missing 61% of assets: 'All gone to Zelensky!'
  • That’s a loaded headline. It makes it sound like all of the missing funds went to Zelensky but that’s just a guys opinion.

  • What should we do about Threads?
  • What is the point of using something that's federated if we all have to do things the same way? Sounds like you just want a centralized site where you get to make the rules.

  • Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important
  • The OP wasn’t speaking for their server though they were speaking for the fediverse. Everyone should be able to run their server how they see fit but don’t speak for other people.

  • Why Defederating from Facebook/Meta is So Important
  • "People joining the Fediverse are those looking for freedom. If people are not ready or are not looking for freedom, that’s fine. They have the right to stay on proprietary platforms. We should not force them into the Fediverse. We should not try to include as many people as we can at all cost. We should be honest and ensure people join the Fediverse because they share some of the values behind it."

    Who gets to appoint the gatekeepers?

  • Meta will kill small instances! Please read.
  • There goal is to not look like a monopoly to the government and have to deal with anti-trust issues. This lets them hide behind them being "open" and not forcing people to use Meta apps to access the network.

  • What should we do about Threads?
  • You don't need to get consensus though. The Fediverse isn't a monolith and you can change servers if you feel the one you're on isn't working for you anymore.

  • Threads privacy hell
  • It's sadly not any worse than Instagram already is.

  • petition: Defederate any instances that federates with threads proactivly , add threads.net on blocklists everywhere.
  • Just because they haven’t launched in the EU yet doesn’t mean they won’t. They were clearly rushing to get this out the door. I’d be absolutely shocked if they don’t go to the EU since Facebook and Instagram are there already.

  • Meta Threads is going to be Fediverse compatible. Meta taking a shot at Reddit?
  • That's true but connecting to the fediverse is definitely trying to keep the government off their back about being a monopoly. Playing nice is in their best interests for now. If that ever changes they can be defederated at the point.

  • What should we do about Threads?
  • Yeah but that's all public information that I'm choosing to put out there. Meta doesn't need to do a complete integration and share posts back to the fedeverse just to grab public information. They can just scrape the sites the way they are now for most of it.
