I mean, if the main draw-card is convenience, then signal isn’t going to have much holding power (especially when combined with the network affect problem and attentions grabbing design of other message apps).
Signal will only really succeed if there is a critical mass of people in your circles who care about security to some degree (it works well for me for this reason).
Doesn’t every phone have an SMS app? What’s the benefit of having SMS in signal?
Absolutely. They can’t use it back.
I don’t know, but it could be interesting to try. I could easily imagine topic-focussed servers that go into more depth on specific topics. Perhaps you would only federate things that are at a high level, or directly linked. Kinda like a wiki, but with each community doing it’s own decentralised curation and moderation…
I haven’t seen any spam on Lemmy yet, and only a tiny amount on mastodon (I’m much more active there).
Man, their website is pretty off-putting. Where’s the get-started/dive-in type page? How do I use the thing?
You can do that with NoScript too. Is the Umatrix UI any better, or are there other benefits?
Nope. Died like Digg and a bunch of others. There’s a run down here (which I only quickly skimmed): https://productmint.com/what-happened-to-stumbleupon/
What would be really cool would be an open source, federated version of DMOZ
Yeah! StumbleUpon was cool. Something about how it tried to engender serendipity.
Such a pity that so many other good recommendation engines died or succumbed to enshittification.
It depends a lot on your screen, and your lifting situation. Black on white is better in day light, white on black is much better on LED screens (as opposed to backlit LCD or CRT monitors).
That’s a hall mark of our civilisation/society, not our species. Humans have been around for hundreds of thousands of years, and the vast majority of cultures in that time have been relatively stable, with checks on excessive greed.
(see Graeber and Wengrow’s The Dawn Of Everything for some good examples.)
What problem would it solve?
What about choking them with plastic straws?
Anti correlated with search quality
That’s kind of a myth though, isn’t it?
Like, OK, they probably have more mature security systems in place (but that’s definitely not guaranteed, especially with anything middle tier or smaller), and at least they have cash reserves so you might get something if you can figure out how to sue them.
But most businesses would be well happy to make a quick buck off selling whatever private data they managed to get their hands on.
I’d be surprised if someone hasn’t already tried to make a business out of redistributing background check information, now that I think about it…
That’s a good list. Certainly a public feature/bug tracker would be nice. But those are pretty rare for corporate software…
Which bits are not functional? I’m using their email and calendar… they aren’t completely polished, but they’re very usable.
It literally promises to generate content, but I think the implied promise is that it will replace parts of your workforce wholesale, with no drop in quality.
It’s that last bit that’s going to be where the drama happens
