when this happened to me, I filled it around 2am the day before my follow up appointment but had no time to print it so I went there hoping I would be able to email it to them.

yeah because being in the open ocean in subzero temperatures is the moment that one will think "sure, better take my life vest off and strap it on this fucking door. I bet it will hold the door afloat and I will always be attached to this door. What can go wrong?"

perfect demonstration of culture sharing for a newbie. Like advising them to always trust commands they find online without even explaining them what each command does!

I've said exactly the same thing. My mind just went automatically and said "foot-fingers" and it was the friend I was talking with that interrupts me saying "you mean toes!?" and couldn't stop laughing

You’re complaining about ads that are being pushed on you by an algorithm from ad companies. I’m telling you there are no ad companies. Seems relevant.

I never typed the word "ad". I specifically said post of top brands. How can this be achieved in ActivityPub? Easy. When you are using lets say Threads, their proprietary system treats differently ads and normal posts. However, anything their system is pushing on the federated network (ActivityPub) is disguised as a normal post. A post that is having millions of engagement will be visible in "All".

Nothing prevents them from doing that right now.

You act like you're new to internet. What prevents them is that their audience is not here and companies are not paying them for that. However companies will pay them to promote their products in Threads. With the current numbers, Threads has the potential to dominate the "All" page.

I refuse to pay for a search engine. There are numerous searxng instances out there in which I'm not the product even though I'm not paying.

to be technically correct, they are not "distributing" it. They are doing the same thing shazam does for music.

that's irrelevant. Nothing prevents the influencers to promote their products as they do in all the popular platforms. You're thinking only in terms of ads as coming from an ad server but this is not necessarily the case.

yes, very misguided. I always loved the idea of browsing "All" and see all top brands with millions of engagement promoting their products

it is not "now". It is exactly as it was being used in 2020, when the article was written, by the mass media. They were calling "troll" everyone they were disagreeing with.

the trade between an encrypted storage and the ability of a full backup is a very bad deal. Unless you're talking for a phone that you leave at home at all times
