What phone or app are you using for that?

How are you supposed to prove that your password is self-incriminating without giving away your password?

So what you're saying is we should short the stock to make it big

Could even open a lawsuit and force reddit to investigate how much of their traffic is bots, immediately after the IPO

Raising the gas prices 10x overnight won't create those alternatives overnight, nor will it put petrol companies out of business because they pass the cost on to consumers who are mostly forced to buy gas at whatever the current price is with no other viable transportation method.

Infrastructure takes time. Sadly the US govt isn't even at the starting line for any meaningful public transit system in most cities.

If gas prices went up 10x overnight, some higher earners could switch to working from home (a positive result), but other industries such as retail don't really get that luxury.. Contributing to more wealth inequality

It's not like we'll not see it coming Once threads.net starts federating with the big instances, it's all over

The information that can be gathered and sold is pretty intense, even when your account is on another instance

  • All your posts and comments (this is public information, no cause for alarm)
  • Everything you upvote/downvote
  • Every time you load an image from another instance (link tracking, can probably be correlated with your IP address you signed into facebook with)
  • With enough posts in your feed tracking you, a general picture of your interests and time of day you interact with lemmy will form, which can be sold

Do those not end up as heat later down the line as well?

I think you're confusing "encrypted in transit" versus "end to end encryption"

Your email between protonmail and gmail would be encrypted between the servers, but both protonmail and gmail could read your email. OpenPGP makes it so incoming emails are encrypted with your public key, so there's an extra stage of encryption that only your email client can decipher. OpenPGP therefore has the capacity for end to end encryption

Time for some user agent spoofing

I would invest after the UFOs

With enough of them, property values will go down as people move away

Once it's identified as a hoax, the value will correct itself over time

Is working 2 full time jobs just to be able to afford rent and utilities considered slavery?

That's socialism!

I'd be worried the service that suggests a roofing company or Italian restaurant would go to the highest bidder. That is, it would only contact the big nation wide chains, who pay apple & amazon, over the small local companies that give better service for half the price.

That's already the case when you use Google maps or Google search, but it feels like you'd have less control by giving the AI a single instruction
