Just wait until you look at history’s Modern Age.

It’s the ISO banana, that’s kept in a freezer in Switzerland and only taken out once every year to adjust other bananas.

It probably both only counts federated instances, on communities that are known, and counts wrong.

Because federation is hard (really, it is), and instances are always losing stuff.

The Apple II was very good. I always wished I could get one.

(And by the date, and by the impossibility of it being about the Apple original, that’s exactly the computer the OP is talking about.)

I think the joke is more focused on the problem that you’ll have to precisely count and report every single one of them.

Here in Brazil the government does the same. But it’s often wrong…

It’s still helpful, but well, I wish I didn’t have to check every little detail.

Allegiance successfully pledged!

I hope the TikTok users take the hint and move to something else. (You know, something not run by fascists, where they can stay for a while.) Because it’s only downhill from here.

Does it escape basckslashes?

They were faster. At the computers at the time.

They also transmitted data faster, at the internet at the time.

One thing they didn’t do was to allow for meetings. You’d need to go as far as Skype for that. Yeah, Skype worked faster and transmitted data faster, but MS brought it and now it doesn’t.

Also, the other thing they didn’t do was to share your calendar with Outlook. Teams actually doesn’t do that one well, and there are some groupware software that work better (none from MS), but you’ll be getting into the deep woods of software your security team never heard about.

They suddenly showing select videos more times than they have users on the country.

The evidence needed is to determine who exactly and why. The what is very clear.

The line of “ready to move” drivers behind you will make sure any fire truck stays way back and is unable to show up to the first car closing the street.

Apparently, Meta has just taken part in a huge destabilizing propaganda campaign here in Brazil. The kind that criminal law has punishment for.

It will certainly take a while to gather all evidence and verify it, so I’m saving the popcorn for later. But I just ensured I have enough kernel for a US-sized portion…

It’s way less innocuous than you think.

But yeah, it’s only the stuff that you’d expect it to send. And only the stuff it needs to send. But the thing is, the valuable data those social networks gather is almost exactly that. They will invade your privacy and get everything they can, but the real value is on that and what you read. (What you read isn’t shared here.)

Lemmy doesn’t have the censorship and speech-control from those platforms, but it pretty much distributes your data widely to anybody that asks for it.

I’m not sure China wants westerns using their internal propaganda app. Mixing the internal and external propaganda quickly leads to absurdities.
