Absolutely. They’ll be the winners.

Truly dystopian

Very interesting. I prefer to actually own the books I buy, so I always remove DRM from the ebooks which I purchase. And Amazon is trying its best to make the process as difficult as possible. At least using Calibre, it can be done only on older kindle pc versions.

I found that the best way to enjoy/find content on Mastodon is to follow hashtags. Think keywords of whatever you are interested to see in your feed and search different variations of those keywords. Browse those hashtags and follow them if the content seems interesting.

This happened with me couple of years ago and I had to pay for space 🤦

When profits are of concern, “self-regulation” gets defenestrated!

This will probably be aired as a netflix docu series sometime in the future lol 🤣

Really this whole open ai drama was very entertaining. Wonder whether this is it or they have something more in store!

The algorithms made me bored of these platforms. I used to scroll twitter for 10 minutes then close the app because I would come across content filled with negativity. Then on youtube it seems like the videos suggested are those I am not interested in. Now that I have switched to newpipe, I find that I have so many more videos to watch. Recently I have started using Mastodon and I am liking it so far since I can tune my feed according to what I like to see using hashtags, following people and blocking/muting people. At least I haven’t got bored yet. These secret algorithms don’t seem to work for me. I wonder how people get addicted.?

This is just atrocious.
