Those are all good points, except of course that “live problem-solving sessions” and “trial work periods” were definitely already a thing at my current job, yet the employer needed the résumé to decide whether to invite/consider me for that in the first place.

the problem is, what is the alternative? I have never been on the employer side of a hiring process before, only the job-seeking side, but from what I’ve read, it’s not a very good system for either side, yet I can’t easily think of a better alternative.

Good. The Internet was always supposed to be an opportunity to expand the overton window. It’s incredible how much we’ve been allowing tech companies to be censors in the first place, anything that undoes this development is good.

Doesn’t PeerTube already do this? Maybe I am mistaken.

In any case there’s nothing inherently preventing this, just because a platform gets some of its data from other servers instead of its own users, it doesn’t mean it can’t use that data to run a recommendation algorithm.

I don’t want it though. I prefer choosing for myself what sources I want to get information from instead of getting any of it recommended by the platform operator.

What would “selling Chrome” even entail? The vast majority of Chrome’s source code is free and open source software, i.e. it has no owners. Does the US government want Google’s developers of the Chromium codebase to work on another company’s payroll instead? Do they want Google to be prohibited from distributing a browser based on the Chromium codebase? Have they given any of this any thought at all?

Not possible with OsmAnd, if you want to edit geometry you need a full featured editor. For Android one option is Vespucci.

The worst bills in Congress are usually overwhelmingly supported by both parties.

• Firefox ✅
• SMS app from Simple Mobile Apps ✅
• WhatsApp ❌
• stock video recording camera shortcut that came with my phone ❌
• OpenCamera ✅

3/5 and as I was writing this I found out I might be able to get rid of the video recording shortcut because apparently a software update exposed the full video resolution to OpenCamera… although I still have to test that.

It’s a possible distinction to make, the main problem is that the article in the OP didn’t make that distinction.

Again, how do you define “social media”?

I grew up on IRC as well as web forums and found those social interactions very fun overall, not dissimilar from IRL social interactions.

OK, what’s the definition of “social media” for that purpose then?

I tend to be unsympathetic in general to ideas that anyone (including young people) needs to be “protected” from their own decisions.

So teens who don’t fit in well in the IRL spaces that are available to them should have 0 ways to have social interactions?

If teen me hadn’t had the internet, I would have 0 joyful memories whatsoever of my teen years. Anyone sympathizing with the ideas in the OP is in my mind purely evil and oppressive, I have no other words to describe this.

It’s somewhat more comparable to DMCA takedowns I think.

There are several links in the article. Otherwise that is what we have web search engines for.

I still do, but I’m not very young anymore, most people who regularly use TikTok are probably younger than me.

Of course, Americans have a constitutional right to receive Chinese propaganda.

sorry, I probably should have checked, I have no objection to mods deleting this thread if this violates the rules here

I followed my city’s feed so that I am regularly reminded of the weather and don’t have to actively check a source for it. Let’s see how long I follow it.

Most people live at least somewhere near a city that doesn’t usually get radically different weather than where they do live.
