I was genuinely confused by this statistic until I realised it was a double negative. YouTube losen’t Google a lot of money.

Yeah - that was my worry.

Unification of standards only works if everyone agrees to use it and only it (i.e. mobile phones and USB C), otherwise you’re just adding another one to the pile.

As long as there us incentive to do so, malicious actors will exploit the source code whether it is open or closed…

Making something open source does make it easier for malicious actors, but it also allows honest actors to find and fix exploits before they can be used - something they won’t/can’t do for closed source, meaning you have to rely on in-house devs to review/find/fix everything.

I think that’s a per installation thing, cause mine has always had issues with sleep mode - ironically no problem with hibernation though haha

I can’t say I’ve ever had a problem solved by any of the troubleshooters, yet I always go to them just in case one day they do.

Usually they either direct you to the most generic solutions possible (that you’ve already likely done by the time you’re resorting to the troubleshooter), reset your networking (thanks Windows, I felt like having to reconnect to all my networks again) or come back saying they couldn’t find a problem…

Which clearly isn’t the case Microsoft, because if there wasn’t a problem, why the fuck would I be using the troubleshooter? For the shits and giggles?

You know how with SMS and emails, there are many different providers, but anybody can talk to anybody as long as you both have a number/address - that’s essentially how it works on the Fediverse.

Rather than one big server controlling everything (i.e. Twitter, Reddit), you have many smaller servers (“instances”) ran by different people talking to one another to form the wider network.

You sign up to an “instance” (like an email provider or phone carrier), and then they provide you an address you can use to communicate with other servers/instances your host is connected/“federated” to.

Guys, he’s not that bad…

He’s only a money hoarding billionaire who came from a glut of generational wealth obtained through other’s suffering via his father’s Emerald mine, which Musk vehemently denies exists in order to build up his image of being self-made.

I mean it’s not like his father used that wealth to boost him up by being among the first angel investors in his first company, ZIP2, something else which he vehemently denies to keep up his self-made image.

It’s not like he went on to use the money he got from selling ZIP2 to become an early angel investor “co-founder” of X.com, which he then essentially forced the actual founders out of before selling that onwards as well.

It’s not like he then went onto use almost the exact tactic to force/sue his way into being a “co-founder” of Tesla.

And it’s definitely not like he had a friend get appointed Administrator of NASA, who conveniently decided to award SpaceX almost $300 million, despite them not having flown any rockets yet.

His daughter is obviously worried about nothing, and he just needed to prove her wrong by cack-handedly buying out the platform she used to speak out in order to control her in the name of free speech.
