Do the add-ons you use specifically target Facebook? If so, what are you using to mitigate its manipulative/predatory designs?

Why do tech journalists keep using the businesses' language about AI, such as "hallucination", instead of glitching/bugging/breaking?

How might we help and encourage people to leave Twitter?

Do people think it's a good thing, or simply the thing where those they know are?

What is the ontology of a concept or idea? If nothing doesn't exist materially but strictly conceptually, does it not exist or is there a different term one should employ to refer to it? 🤔

Thanks for the pointers, I'll have to give'em a look! Eusociality does sound right in line with what I was wondering about, but hadn't heard of it before!

😂 Hey, I realize you were already able to tell that this made its way over (and seems like the edit made the original do so too), but appreciate the thorough check! Federation, gotta love these rough edges sometimes!

...Does anyone have data on how many people still use checks?

I thought of "surfing the web" as more of a superficial approach personally. I was thinking more along the lines of "researching" or digging through sites with a similar topic but each went deeper or in different directions than the first.

Although on second thought and a little looking around, it looks like "net diver" never took off as its own term? What strange rocks have I been under? 😵

Have you seen Publii yet? Dunno how well it works on Linux, but there's a version for Linux as well.

Fairly certain, as I hadn't downloaded anything on my phone when away from my PC that would have produced a notification to mirror. Also, sorry, I should have mentioned from the start that I typically run my phone in Do Not Disturb and Silent to minimize any notifications whatsoever.

On further digging I did notice that it looks as though the files mentioned in the notifications may have been downloads, but from literally years ago in, I think, every case (e.g. from 2018!). I don't think I even had Connect installed back then to have caught those notifications. 🤨

Is this ever noted in any of the documentation, outside of some fine print, with the printer to let someone know that it's being done? If your product is secretly leaving indicators for anyone aware of the indicators to track your actions in some way, that's problematic in my opinion.

Given a printer is arguably a lesser issue anymore, but the same idea applies with other tech.

It doesn't seem like it would necessarily fit either [email protected] or [email protected], and [email protected] I think may be more intended for Lemmy World community moderators.

By appreciating I mean taking the time to take something in more thoroughly than skimming, while also not letting oneself lose track of what's happening around them.

 

This could be things that once were commercialized but are now public domain, or have largely resisted commercialization to this day. In this context I mean this as aiming for profit and being sold/monetized.
