Was it even a goal? Mastodon can be used for internal communication, e.g. https://social.kernel.org is only for linux developers, and I know a local university where they have a defederated mastodon instance where every student automatically got registered.
If they just needed it for posting news maybe simply having a profile on one of the big instances would be enough. I see they had only 270 users.
I found the update 404 media article, this article is based on: https://www.404media.co/heres-the-pitch-deck-for-active-listening-ad-targeting/
It’s behind a paywall, and I couldn’t found a way to remove it. But from the top screenshot it seems like it’s the same bullshit from the same company… We know from the past that they lie about this, why is it a news that they did the same thing again?
Better article about this story:
This is nearly a year old news, and noone ever could prove it.
CMG is simply lying. Also originally it was not “leaked” it was published on their website, it’s just the same bullshit from different source.
It was not just a “leak” this was literally on their website a year ago: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/12/no-a-marketing-firm-isnt-tapping-your-device-to-hear-private-conversations/
Marketing people bullshitting to get investor money. Anyone can imagine non existent technology and lie on the internet, you don’t have to believe everything
Yeah, maybe “working on” was too generous, “aware of the issue and some preliminary work was already done” would have been more correct
Here is some recent discussion if it’s feasible at all: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/pull/2077
MicroG devs are working on fakeing play integrity api since 2023: https://github.com/microg/GmsCore/issues/2050
it seems that play integrity continue to change internally day to day… He is waiting that google stabilize it. Then will be a pull request.
The announcement comes after Twitter announced across-the-board job cuts earlier on Thursday, with plans to lay off 9 percent of its workforce, which equals about 350 people. The company also said in a letter to shareholders that it was going to prioritize some parts of its business, while deprioritizing others.
Twitter was financially in a bad shape for a long time, the first year they generated some profit was 2018. Source Vine existed 2012-2017, I think they couldn’t figure out how to monetize it. Twitter was a text based platform, tiktok was designed for video from conception.
But I still don’t know why they didn’t try to sell it instead of shutting it down.
Coub was also nearly shut down in 2022, it seems like it’s hard to profitably maintain a short video service.
One more thing could have an important impact was music rights. Tiktok has special deals with record labels for background music, Coub was Russian, so they could just pirate music. Streaming wasn’t big back than, only spotify existed, labels couldn’t figure yet out how to milk internet users, so I guess Vine couldn’t get as good deals as it would now. Too early, too legal.
IIRC Vine and Coub made it mainstream more than 12 years ago, it’s not something new. Gifs are basically a prequel of the format.
If people wouldn’t like it, it wouldn’t survive this long, and wouldn’t be copied by every other company and requested in threads like this. It’s alright if you don’t like them but please let other people have fun. You don’t have to “learn” from everything, it’s just jokes and light entertainment.
Is snapchat still a thing? Never used that but I thought from screenshots and memes that tiktok killed it (never used that either)
That video is till up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vj04MKykmnQ
She went there, because in the support forum the manufacturer replied that they can only give the source code in person.
Actually that’s acceptable, and does not violate GPL, they just expected that noone will show up in their sweatshop. GPL does not define how you should make the source available.
It’s a strange diagram but shows what you have to know. If you ever seen different keyed m.2 cards, you should understand this. The important thing is the location of the keys, the notch. All m.2 cards has an ‘up’ and ‘down’ side, it shows only the ‘up’ side. You have to look inside the receptor to see the pins, that’s why it shows both sides, it’s not possible to see one side only on the receptor as they are in a plastic casing. Usually you can’t see the pins on the mobo, only the key.
You can see a similar diagram on wikipedia, both sides of receptor, top side of card:
The offset you were writing about doesn’t matter, it actually helps. You can’t accidentally insert the card upside down. The location of notches also help with this, as not all possible notches used yet, but in the future it could change.
These connectors are really small. The receptor is similar how sodimm connector works, but smaller. Are you also afraid about inserting a ram in an laptop? It’s basically the same.
Read more about the connector in wikipedia, I’m really happy this slowly replaces sata, msata, mpcie and even pcie in current pcs.
You are right. The user you are replying to has no idea what they write about, as they confessed in another comment.
You seem to love spreading misinformation on the web. Why are you commenting 4 times if you are not familiar with the topic?
This is an m.2 connector. You have to secure it with a screw on the other side. It’s nearly impossible to mess it up.
Apple frequently uses proprietary connectors, I don’t know which one you are reffering to. I won’t guess because I’m not very familiar with all apple connectors.
You don’t have to comment on a topic if you are not familiar with. Please stop.
Iphone 4 had a shitty antenna design. This was the first iphone with a metal frame around, on the sides of the phone. If you holded it with your left hand you could easily accidentally short the two parts of the antenna, basically cutting all signals.
This was definetily a design fault, there was even class action lawsuit against Apple. When they asked Steve Jobs about this, he replied:
“You are holding it wrong.”
Antennagate happened 14 years ago. A lot users are too young to remember that
It’s true what you write, but it’s not related to Wayland/X11.
But this is the reason CAD software can’t use multiple cpu cores for geometry calculations. The next calculation needs the result of the previous one, it can’t be parallelized.
I use it frequently, and it’s mostly right. It can tell traffic jams really precisely (it says something like “you will have to stop in 300m” and the traffic jam is actually starts at ∓10m from that point)
But it tries to navigate me through fully closed roads. I don’t know why is that. The kind of closed road it misses is regularly closed, but at irregular intervals (like most weekends on the summer, but not always, if there is some happening it is also closed on weekdays, etc). These kind of irregular things shouldn’t be mapped in OpenStreetMap (As documented in the wiki) I have a feeling that they think that it should be mapped, but I won’t map it.
I guess it also depends on where you live, so just try it first.
They collect location of their users but anonimize every data on device, they can’t track anyone personally. They also sell their SDK to businesses and collect data from there as well.
Do we have an extension apocalipse again, or is it a “bump supported version” type update?
