An interesting point! I’ve heard others say they prefer gridlock in Washington.

There’s no way to get around “any mention of civil rights” though. That covers all humans.

Maybe. This was an advertisement for a book that had those themes.

Personally, I don’t want either to be excluded.

“After reaching out to Meta about why the promo campaign had been stomped out, the company replied that “any mention of civil rights, feminism or social reform are usually classified as ‘social topics’ by our automatic system,” and therefore rejected.”

Wow.

This made me thoughtful and laugh at the same time, thank you.

You’re right, of course. People prefer centralized platforms, and we “nerds” prefer decentralized ones.

There are no alternatives.

Incredible how software companies can be actively hostile to customers.

I’m looking for a source as well. The “apparently” I used was supposed to cover the whole comment, but I can see how it didn’t.

The video goes into detail, and could be staged, but comments seem to support the idea anyway.

Amazon devices are known to do this with other Amazon products to create a mesh.

It’s not outside the realm of possibility.

Apparently not solved. They can connect to open (and hidden) networks without your consent.

Per the marketing chief at LG; (paraphrased, from memory) “we own the glass, and we know everything beyond the glass.”

Added to wish list.

RE: work;

I suspect these companies are going to want to re-hire some percentage of the workforce they’ve laid off.

Is there a company / group out there that connects developers to companies that have an emergency need for them?
