TamperMonkey is closed source. I'd recommend ViolentMonkey instead, since it's open source and is practically identical to the other *Monkey extensions.
~~edit: To add, the developer of TamperMonkey has also shown themselves to be not worthy of trust; see Wikipedia under Controversy.~~
You might want to give some sources for that claim.
This article from Time summarizes quite well my view of the issues related to attention span. This is certainly not limited to the likes of tiktok or twitter, but I think those can be considered as representing two of the worst platform formats for meaningful content.
Sure, there are those people, but that's not the point here. Lemmy doesn't enforce some arbitrary short length to its posts in an attempt to force the users to engage more with the platform instead of the actual content. The same cannot be said of tiktok or twitter, for example.
Hot take: let this brain rot format die already. If you cannot hold your attention for longer than a few minutes at a time, you might want to work on that instead of embracing it.
Elon's Death
For a brief moment, I was so excited... Rip deer.
Oh my... I though the big companies had a mutual understanding that throwing shit at each other is a huge no-no. There's enough shit to drown them all in it time and again, so this should be hilarious to watch unfold.
At least they are consistent, so I guess that's something...
This reads like a desperate attempt at proving to investors that their "AI" is useful for handling factual information, with a hint of plain old corporate bribery to avoid further lawsuits from publishers. Grifters gonna grift, and all that.
And do some more stock buybacks and raise dividends, of course.
Careful now, you'll open the door for fElon Musk 2028. We don't want that, do we?
I skimmed through the section and simply assumed the worst, sorry about that. Still, it is closed source, so you just have to trust them, bro, and that's more often than not the wrong approach.
edit: Skimming a bit more, there actually seem to be some valid concerns around privacy, since TamperMonkey seems to have used (still uses?) google analytics, which is enabled by default, so take that as you will; see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26057106
