I’m glad to be totally off of Reddit now but I have to say, props to the mods doing this kind of stuff. It’s pretty hilarious

db2 ,

They're getting no end of grief from bad/paid actors though.

DragonAce , to Technology in Reddit's API protest just got even more NSFW

I wish more of the larger subs were still protesting and didn't roll over so easily. But regardless the site has taken a massive hit to its reputation and one can only hope that recovery won't be possible moving forward and it screws them out of their chance to go public.

So long as it hurts Reddit, all the better.

This whole API issue is a lost cause, so the only thing that can be done now is to make Reddit lose big.

scarabic ,

Yep the fight for Reddit is lost. All we can do is make an example of them.

Thank fucking god for the EU, for fighting for global digital rights where nobody else does.

cordlesslamp , to Technology in All smartphones, including iPhones, must have replaceable batteries by 2027 in the EU

Apple in 2027: This is not a battery, it's a.....umm ....... Ultra High Density Low Current Super Capacitor.

dodslaser ,

EU: Ok, then in addition to that UHDLCSC you also need a removable battery.

I've one the steps is, "use the letter X SOMEHOW, so people won't laugh at you and will realize you are so cool finally"

babysharknanana , to Technology in Space India shares video proof of its phenomenal moon landing and rover

It would be interesting to learn what the "moonlanding never happened" crowd has to say. Must be some next-level brain exercise to keep the story going. 😄

scytale ,

Aren’t they generally ok with crew-less landings and mostly deny actual humans landing on the moon?

Edgelord_Of_Tomorrow ,

I believe humans walked on the moon but they lied about how they got there.

gravitas_deficiency , to Technology in X rolls out new ad format that can't be reported, blocked

Seems like Elon is trying to accelerate the collapse of his $44B boat anchor

Lmao Elon boutta find out that you do not fuck with the big D.

IchNichtenLichten , to Technology in Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models
@IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world avatar

A LLM that behaves like a typical Redditor?

What possible use is that?

Air Canada offering a refund of tree fiddy.

@IchNichtenLichten@lemmy.world avatar

You'll get your refund eventually but first it will try and gaslight you that Air Canada is a woke mind virus before calling you an asshole and then stalking you.

@jeffw@lemmy.world avatar

What if it was just lobbying from the VPN industry this whole time?

style99 , to Technology in Elon Musk's X pushed a fake headline about Iran attacking Israel. X's AI chatbot Grok made it up.

People who deploy AI should be held responsible for the slander and defamation the AI causes.

Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.

electro1 , to Technology in X automatically changed 'Twitter' to 'X' in domain names, breaking legit URLs
@electro1@infosec.pub avatar

X is just a BAAAAAAD brand that it's almost insulting the people who uses it, honestly were I'm from it sounds like an adult website..

Semi-Hemi-Demigod ,
@Semi-Hemi-Demigod@kbin.social avatar

One of the rules of branding is to choose a unique name to prevent confusion. Half the time I see the X logo I don't know if they're talking about X11 or the website formerly known as Twitter

hddsx ,

It’s funny that if you need to clarify X, you can say x11. If you need to clarify X, though, it’s still twitter

Vorticity ,

Oh, do you mean X the window manager or X the social media website?

The fact that a clarification like that needs to be made shows that Twitter has a branding problem.

Now, tell me which is which:

The top left has some design aesthetic to it. Normally I'd assume the logo with the better aesthetics wouldn't be an open source project logo, but given Musk probably fired anyone that could make a good logo, I'll assume the more boring one (the lower left one) is the Xitter logo.

People need to stop using Twitter. It's like trying to using AOL or whatever now. It's basically a dead product.

jsomae ,

Let's all start using AOL and MSN messenger

Cosmicomical ,

Msn messenger was perfectly fine, until people left me alone on there to join bloody skype

AIM using Pidgin client when not on IRC with mIRC or X-Chat. MSN Messenger was never even on the list.

I don't get why he's so stubborn on X dot com being a thing. Especially since when I hear dot com I think of the 90s or early 2000s, and specifically the dot com bubble.

x.social or x.net sound way cooler tbh.

FJT ,

X-Com sounds pretty cool tbh
