I’m a technical kinda guy, doing technical kinda stuff.

The distinction is “through which users”.
Merely putting something online does not make it social media. The key is the ability for users/passers-by to add their own content and/or comments, which then allows for interaction between users.
They’re not missing funds though, it’s not a discrepancy in accounting. They overpaid , they know where the money is, and it’s simply a business decision whether to recover it or not.
They could have simply filtered on overpayment above some arbitrary value based around recovery vs goodwill.
Or they could have let it slide, but still notify people so that they wouldn’t be wondering if it was an accounting error.
But no, they want to recover 23 cents which is well below the cost of everyone’s time and effort to deal with, on both sides of the transaction.
Well you see, engagement is down, and the whole “sponsored content” thing is in a death spiral due to AI slop. So Meta has decided to cut out the middleman and generate their own AI slop, because surely their version of personalised AI slop will solve the whole engagement problem and keep line always going up, because if it’s one thing users love, it’s an endless torrent of AI slop.
Off the top of my head I’d say:
Not carrying the flag I think is a big crime basically everywhere
Hence why flying the pirate flag is a big deal. You’re indicating “no laws here”.
And holy shit does their algorithm latch onto any minor interest in their content.
Accidentally tapped on a floor tiling video the other day, three days of tiling and handyman videos jammed into my feed and me pressing the “not interested” button on every single one.
Facebook, I am there for the rare post from my 150 or so friends and family. That’s it. Nothing else.
The reason we don’t use it anymore is because actual posts from real humans we know are buried under a torrent of shit. Sometimes their posts take days to surface leading to all sorts of chain-mail posts on how to “get your feed back”. None of which work because the whole business model is about jamming sponsored shit down your throat.
Trying to, because there is no more money to continue development.
Hopefully they can pull it off and do the same as Pebble did when they released a last firmware update for their watches that allowed third party servers to be used.
Starlink sats have enough transmit power and receive gain to use normal cellular frequencies with a normal antenna on the phone side.
You might think it’s a long way to space, but a few hundred kilometres of direct line of sight to your cellphone antenna isn’t that much more to overcome compared to say, 25 km to a cell tower on the ground.
The biggest hurdle was getting a few thousand satellites into orbit so that coverage and availability is there.
It’s designed and implemented for copy protection. Otherwise you can design a esp32 device that includes software you’ve written and 15 minutes later a clone device with exactly the same software will appear on <insert Chinese electronics website here>
In certain countries they fall under quasi-bank regulations eg. “PayPal Australia Pty Ltd (PayPal) is a limited Authorised Deposit-Taking Institution (ADI) with authority to provide purchased payment facilities (PPFs).”
That gives some measure of protection on how they handle your funds, but holy shit I would not keep any money in a PayPal account for any longer than absolutely necessary. I use it as a convenient intermediary between my actual card and sellers, no more than that.
They want to see it disabled/destroyed, not just that you bought it. Otherwise a lot of people would simply provide the receipt and get a free-but-dangerous power bank which they would totally stop using, wink, wink.
Then you end up with an inbox full of drive-by spam to abuse/admin/aardvark/… (insert dictionary here)…/zack/ziggy.
In my opinion, software engineering has about another 50 years before it matures to the point where it is a “proper” engineering profession.
It’s likely to be forced participation.
You want to use airtags and benefit from other phones providing tag locations? Then you have to supply data to the airtag network as well. Quid pro quo and all that.
, couldn’t the brokers just filter the period when i started clickning everything?
They don’t care about the quality of an individual profile, it’s the quality of the aggregate data that’s important to them. If anything, your profile might be identified as an outlier compared to the average and simply discarded. They’re not going to look any further than that and try and “rescue” your data, they’ve got a million other profiles to sell to advertisers.
The more we automate, the less people can do, so they don’t have jobs and no income, not able to survive…
Most solutions to this issue usually involve some variant of a universal basic income. However, that gets politically boiled down to “MOAR TAXES GOVERNMENT IS STIFLING THIS COUNTRY!1!1”, so in countries like the US that want to keep the freedom of being able to be homeless and starving, it’s not going to be possible.
Is there any sort of way to get the best of both worlds? to have the PC be able to go from power button to jellyfin server started and still have some measure of security?
Windows with auto login? Not really. That is, anyone with a mouse + keyboard locally can get in there.
You can set up jellyfin to run as a windows service and then it should auto start and run as a particular user without you having to log in. Have a look in the “advanced” section in the jellyfin docs.
Every IT/software group needs to have one, otherwise you get complacent.
