I am surprised that some of his usual audience joined a platform specifically because of him.

You're surprised that a privacy and security advocate and essayist with a large online following would have people who would take his advice on which social media platform is best for security and privacy?

Exactly!

I don't hate TikTok because of its short videos, I hate it because the app is an assault on privacy and potentially a subversive tool to influence the public.

Me.

I followed him from Twitter to Mastodon, even though he didn't exactly endorse Mastodon. If he were to endorse a platform I wouldn't think twice about joining.

Until they restructure the way OpenAI did.

It needs another frame showing that feudalism never went away. Capitalism is just a way to walk us all back to feudalism.

Stream also had help from Palworld - that's what I was playing during that time.

Which is exactly where it should be... having regional phone companies sucked. Having 1 phone company sucked. Having 3-4 is the least sucky, but we have real competition.

Before tearing apart Google and Amazon, I'df much prefer we have 3-4 choices for internet providers (unless we can turn them into utilities, then we should do that).

Hi, I also know my industry, with over a quarter century of experience in Fortune 500 companies. The old motto of IT used to be 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' and then salespeople found out that fear is a great sales tool.

When proper precautions are taken and a risk analysis is performed there is no reason that old operating systems and software can't continue to be used in production environments. I've seen many more systems taken down from updates gone wrong than from running 'unsupported' software. Just because a system is old, doesn't mean it is vulnerable, often the opposite is true.

The letter said that after one Microsoft outreach on July 22, a "Delta employee replied, saying 'all good. Cool will let you know and thank you.' Despite this assessment that things were 'all good,' public reports indicate that Delta canceled more than 1,100 flights on July 22 and more than 500 flights on July 23."

In order to do that the US government would need to heavily subsidize EVs the way the Chinese government does.

I support this... in my view the Chinese government is putting its money out there in order to get more people into an EV. The US should match their efforts.

Will this mean that no one will be able to pay to be the default search, or just that Google will no longer be allowed?

Honestly, Google is still the best free search even though it isn't as good as it used to be... and if this ruling means that no one can pay to be the default then Google will still win based on name recognition and performance. Plus they will save money by not needing to give it to Apple.

The real loser here is Apple who is going to lose a fairly large revenue stream.
