When was the last time Meta cared about what anybody wanted?

You can report these.

…I’m honestly at a complete loss as to what you’re talking about. How what works? What is it you think is happening here? What is it you think I’m lying about?

I definitely remember those things being proposed. I don’t remember them going into effect. Hence the “actually accomplished”. I also remember several companies launching lawsuits to stall the progress. The document you provided says “launched a crackdown on deceptive ‘junk fees’”, not “implemented legislation that banned junk fees”. And “Proposed (not implemented) new ‘click to cancel’ rules”.

With the incoming administration that work is certain to be abandoned. Not saying they didn’t try, just that they weren’t able to be efficient enough to be effective.

No. Not really. I never said anything that remotely resembled that.

What did they actually accomplish? All the anti-trust stuff has just been tied up in courts for years and years. And they gave Apple a pass on their Epic lawsuit, which is a fucking travesty.

It’s all part of the game. Same reason senators constantly introduce bills that they know won’t get passed. So they can say “we tried but the other team refused to pass it”.

🤔

In that case, why would the employer pay you if they hired the AI?

I’m sure no one does, but it’s like anything else in modern society: you can opt-in or you can fade from existence. This is reality in the modern era. It’s everything Kaczynski predicted would happen.

100% chance your resume is overlooked by many potential employers if you opt out.

Applicants are using AI to write resumes by the hundreds and thousands. Employers have no choice but to use it as well to sort through them.

I wish everyone would get on PeerTube but also I can’t really blame them because Peertube kinda sucks right now. They are slowly getting better. Some simple things would instantly make it a lot better:

1. Instances actually federated with each other.
2. Instance owners could create a curated feed of recommended accounts like you can on Mastodon.
3. Larger instances didn’t block federation requests from smaller ones like mine.
4. Any of the “discover” feeds actually worked.
5. Much like Mastodon, it’s chock-full of content erroneously labeled as English.

That’s on your local feed. Presumably you joined the fediverse to federate with other instances. And since PixelFed federates with all sorts of other platforms, and refuses to be Pixelfed-only, inevitably a large number of those photos are not even intended to be artistic but informational. Not to mention the inevitable future of a platform that becomes even remotely popular.

Instagram was an inherently flawed platform. It was supposed to be for people to share artistic photos and portfolios but it was obviously abused for attention. People just post photos of text. This is the same. Limiting a platform to any specific type of media is dumb.

It could never apply to ad blockers.

I mean it certainly could if it was deemed so broad as “Honey was manipulating affiliate links”, but I don’t think it would.

and Honey added their tracking.”

The key point they were making is that uBO isn’t adding their own affiliate links and stealing revenue they haven’t earned, unlike Paypal.

They seem to be doing far more of them lately.

I love how ambiguous they’re being, because “lawmakers are proposing regulations that protect consumers from our invasive surveillance which maintains our monopoly on advertising so we can charge you more money” just doesn’t have that same ring to it.

I used Obtainium to get it

Some people may leave our platforms for virtue signaling

anyone who quits Meta is ‘virtue signaling’

These are not the same thing. Just a blatant lie.
