Billionaires are prepping Doomsday bunkers
Reddit CEO and co-founder Steve Huffman, 33, is one of many wealthy names who have begun to invest in private bunkers.
“I own a couple of motorcycles. I have a bunch of guns and ammo. Food. I figure that, with that, I can hole up in my house for some amount of time,” Huffman continued.
This conversation will be off the record, as the team may discuss confidential details that should not be discussed with others
Translation: Nobody needs to know how much money we offer you as a bribe.
TurtlesA.I. all the way down.
Blink is a fork of Webkit. And Webkit was the original rendering engine of Chrome, before Google replaced it with Blink. So the DuckDuckGo browser belongs to the chromium family.
EDIT: And Safari is a distant cousin of Chromium.
Brave is tainted with crypto-coin nonsense and web3 fluff. It’s also not a truly independent browser as it relies on chromium.
If you want an independent browser, there is only Firefox.
Not convinced by the e-mail analogy rebuttal. There are plenty of small e-mail providers thriving alongside the giants.
Indeed. It’s a bit of fake news that the e-mail market is dominated by a handfull of big players. It’s enterely possible to self-host a small e-mail server and have to e-mail accepted without problems. Of course, don’t run and open relay, and make sure your reverse dns and DMARC and DKIM records are correct.
„Embrace, extend, and extinguish“
In the case of Facebook, it’s “copy, acquire and kill”
It’s a bad move to strengthen to chrome hegemony.
Maybe crypto scammers moved on to selling LLM “prompts?”
It could be argued that web forums were an answer to older system that came before it and the problems with them. Systems like Usenet and Fidonet BBS’s were federated system, and web forums are actually newer than that.
This reminds me of this: http://textfiles.com/
It baffles me that so many don’t see it for what it is.
Meta contacts their competitor, and says that they want to build a competing product, and want us as competitor to help them with that. How can you possibly fall for that. Meta can already use activitypub for whatever they are building without any need to contact anyone from the Fediverse. The only possible reason they contact instance admins is because Meta wants to dictate the terms on how to Fediverse operates.
