It’s not just about backups. If you discontinue the collection of certain data or mess with the data itself before publication, the whole study might get useless. Take those long-term studies researching health outcomes over decades. If you mess with the data collection there, you can’t get clean data back after Trump is dead.

This. Facebook is already involved in a genocide. Zuckerberg does know what happened there. He is allowing the same hatred on his platform again. That is intentional.

We here on the fediverse are currently trying to build it.

And what would the undernet be? This Lemmy here?

It also allows criminals to check if they are already under the eyes of the police. Want to do a drug run? Check if somebody has tracked your vehicle beforehand!

Yeah, the famous french anti-nuclear lobby. Those guys who control the french government with its nuclear weapons, who has also recently built a nuclear reactor. That government totally is controlled by the anti-nuclear lobby.

Or … maybe France tried upgrading its aging nuclear reactors with the new reactor in Flamanville, which went spectacular over budget? And debt ridden EdF simply has not the funds to build over 50 new reactors at 13 billion each?

I like the article. Interesting subject, well written and it has the perfect lenght.

AI really shows how broken and non-existant moderation is on these “platforms”.

Musk is accusing everybody he doesn’t like as pedophile, even people trying to rescue schoolchildren trapped in a flooded cave.

That will totally lead to websites not supporting or even blocking Firefox. Together with uBlock capitulating against Facebook and all those age registration nonsense, I really am scared about the future of the web.

A few hints:

1. Start with smaller projects with simpler codebases. Do not try to understand what LibreOffice or Jellyfin are doing.
2. Maybe try to understand how one specific part of that software works. Chatbots are really, really good at explaining existing code, so ask your bot where the feature is located and let it explain it to you

Yeah, kind of. I refuse to login and notice how often I still klick on Reddit. That is like a cold shower, but cures the muscle memory.
