Replying again to say: that actually makes sense. You should have said that upfront! Suddenly being locked out of critical software is definitely a risk worth considering

Why?

His actual goal is in the final sentence of the article and has nothing to do with moral intent.

It’s more about scale. Small open source projects might get one PR a month. Your average tech company is dealing with dozens of PR every single day. Review fatigue is real in these environments

It wasn’t about video length, it was about the Twitter leadership at that time being categorically incapable of monetizing any of their products.

Combine that with the orders-of-magnitude higher cost of running Vine compared to the bird, and it was always either going to be sold off or shut down.

It’s easy to forget that this was back in the time when these companies thought they were changing the planet for the better and drinking their own Kool aid by the gallon.

Great summary, but I want to point out that the reality of why they’re doing this is to pander to racist voters who were told their opinion by a highly effective villification campaign against this woman in tabloid newspapers.

Once these things gain traction, politicians always kowtow to the loudest public opinions

Which is also exactly how Signal works too; I migrated both two days ago. Process was virtually identical.

I much prefer Signal, but can’t judge WhatsApp to harshly on this tbh.

Mark Zuckerberg needs to tread carefully or he might have to spend another afternoon answering the nonsensical questions of a bunch of geriatric luddites.

The useful idiot certainly keeps himself busy doesn’t he

I mean, yeah, doesn’t everyone?

This is also slightly off. It was primarily to eliminate third party apps from the existing landscape. Reddit want money from users in one of two ways:

1. Use their app and pay with your data via invasive tracking and advertising.
2. Pay for a third party app that pays them for API access.

Due to the extortionate pricing, (2) was only ever hypothetical. In reality there was no sustainable model for this for any third party app, even as a non-profit.

The case around AI does exist, but it was smoke and mirrors for Reddit pulling the same nonsense that Twitter did once they realized they might get away with it, regardless of the short term damage it would do to their public image.

1. Try increasing hotend temp for first few layers and hotbed temp throughout
2. Try moving z closer for first layer
3. Repeat both of above in small increments

FWIW, those PEI sheets usually need higher bed temp than the regular sheets

Yes it’s called ‘You left your carbon footprints on my heart’

I hope he takes this firing as a window of opportunity. With the right attitude he can really ground himself.

Great, now I have to worry about this every time I order a curry

Woah, where does the US have preclearance? I thought it was nonexistent

Plato’s Rust cave base

As a software user, you can either care about your privacy or not. Caring about your privacy and not either vetting what you’re planning to use or checking that someone else has before using it, is akin to sticking your hand in a fire to find out if it’s hot.

Taking that analogy further, malicious open source software is kind of like a burning building. It only takes one person to raise the flag for it to spread pretty quickly through social media or other means that it is malicious. The whole community doesn’t need to acknowledge the fire for something to be done about it.
