And they will continue to until the expense to them is enough to make it unprofitable.

Don’t worry, Reddit has their top people on the job to fix it, and in a stroke of brilliance, they’re going to *checks notes* …requiring everyone to login even to view?

Yeah, this Ouroboros is about to choke to death on itself.

Nah, I just let them burn their money for absolutely nothing while I ignore it. Eeeevery once in a while, when I’m having shit luck finding what I want, I might check the sources on the AI bullshit, but I never actually listen to the AI.

I think the best option for self-hosters who don’t want too much headache from their email is to host the email yourself, but send your emails through a relay other providers actually trust. It sucks to get so close to full control and give it up, but if you’re like me, you send almost no email, so there’s almost nothing at all to see for the relay, and all your received mail still comes straight to your server.

Hydrogen is also a huge pain to store. It’s really hard to keep it from leaking.

What, so if Meta can throw enough money at it, they can just hijack the project?

Range isn’t the only factor, though. Noise tolerance is another significant one, and if mesh networks take off, I think a lot of long distance radios and other devices will struggle in dense locations. Imagine tens of thousands of overlapping devices with no real capacity to coordinate resource sharing so they’re all just shouting over each other.

Governments would love a data center to be suddenly filled with digital persons that haven’t paid taxes so far.

Only if there are incomes to tax. If they’re just slaves the government is obligated to step in on behalf of, that’s a lot less appealing.

No, they declare they’re doing it in the ToS but bury it so virtually nobody actually sees it and knows about it.

It’s not saying that Republicans are voting Democrat, though. It’s just saying there’s a surge in votes for Democrats in rural areas that are traditionally conservative. That could mean that Republicans are voting for Democrats, but past evidence suggests it’s far more likely to just be latent Democrats actually bothering to go out and vote in areas where they’d traditionally get drowned out.

Is it really defeatism, though? Simply not voting at all could turn tides. And it’s not like Republicans haven’t proven them right again and again and again and again. Republicans are conditioned HARD to never, ever consider voting for a Democrat.

Or the CEO is lying to hype his product.

Oh don’t worry, nowhere on the globe is short of idiots.
