I will happily accept the parts of this proposed legislation that requires social media companies to reduce or eliminate algorithmic timelines, endless scrolling, functioning visibility restrictions and other controls that benefit everyone.
I actually think that such legislation would be widely popular, and would eliminate like 80% of the harmful effects of mainstream social media without any of the catastrophic impacts of forcing identity verification everywhere.
@ticky Congrats! I'm debating whether to get it right away or wait to see reviews from regular consumers once they actually get them 🤔
@vampiress It's super annoying if you use a privacy preserving browser or something without JavaScript. There's also the proof of work based things that are less sketchy and make it more expensive for bots to scrape carelessly.
@kepeken The ones I'm looking at are in the 300-400 CAD range. The value would be more in the data on the phone and camera quality than pure retail. I'm on a Samsung S21 as my daily driver right now. Unsure which eink phone I'll get but I'm gonna find the cheapest one that works :P I can ping you when I figure it out if you'd like.
@craigoverend Heck yeah. May I see what it looks like? I usually do minimal black and white with purple highlights because it works best for translucent video glasses when I'm out and about.
Lol, the site has blocked me for… what exactly? Having a fingerprinting-resistant browser? I should probably change my user agent to ChatGPT or something.
@mosseri It would be great if *all* the AI features were behind a paywall so that it would be easier to avoid them by default.
@vampiress Right now orgs seem to be heading towards paywalls that agents (and likely humans) will need to use to access any content. CDNs like Cloudflare are leading the way. It's unfortunate.
if you're someone who is -actually hiring yourself- or who is in direct discussion with someone who is, again, the -actual hiring person- whomst I can talk to about acquiring an actual job and not fighting the godsdamned fucking llm horseshit, please do let me know.
Occult cyberpunk. Yap with me about decentralized systems, wearable computing, and biohacking.
