If by “afloat” you mean “a flotilla”, then yes.

Don’t worry, this was just the Chinese campaign. The Russian one is still going strong.

At least email has some tools to help mitigate the issue, like SPF, DKIM, and DMARC. They aren’t perfect, but they are loads better than telephony.

IP hasn’t been an admissible form of identification for over a decade now.

Now, suppose that someone hasn’t been piggybacking off of their neighbor’s wifi, and it leads to a household with multiple adults renting the place with internet included in the rent, how would you determine which specific person to take legal action against? Secondly, in order to actually file the suit without it being a waste of time, they would have to have independent data showing that this person did indeed do the action and aren’t just making it up, in which case getting the IPs from a third party would be completely moot.

If I remember, tech companies are generally those whose primary products are digitally based. And technology these days has essentially become synonymous woth the internet.

And perfectly demonstrates the flaw in OPs reasoning.

ChatGPT is an LLM tuned to emulate how a human would generate text.

I would imagine that a different type of AI would be used if they wanted it to work with numbers.

It’s also pretty telling that he’s conflating the Soviet Union with the current Russian Federation in talking about WWII.

Lmao why would you only announce this in an obscure space that 99% of the userbase doesn’t follow?

“All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now.”

“Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?”

Musk: “Gimme company!”

Board: “No.”

Musk: “Fine! I’m leaving!”

Well, the Universe does have all of the STDs known to exist.

Conclusion:

From the points discussed above, the possible lack of moderation alone justifies considering defederation from Threads. However, it remains to be seen how Meta will handle moderation on such a large scale. Additionally, the inability of individuals to block an instance means we have to do what is best for the community.

Where does it say in the admin post that they are default federating with Threads?

This discussion on the original bug report does talk about the back-end needing a fix as well.

Ohh. That makes sense. I completely agree with that. I thought you were talking about the person that posted the screenshot originally.

Wait, so you’re saying that someone publicly posting screenshots of their conversation expects the screenshots to stay private? Or do you honestly think that keeping the twitter handle will dox the other person in the conversation where their name isn’t visible in the first place?

Additionally, it’s not hard to find the original tweet by looking up the text. It took me all of 15 seconds.

It’s more that climate is the long-term average, while weather is the variation around the average. So while there is an trend in the average temperature, the variation means that there will still be hotter and cooler periods.

There’s a difference between retaining the twitter handle of the person that publicly posted their conversation, and doxxing them.
