Volatility of a business based on Google Maps seems to be very painful from observing GeoGuessr.

The reason big studios get better rate is because they have leverage. Just as Amazon has leverage against apple in app store

I wonder why I even read these articles. If these do turn out to be useful it will eventually make its way into technologies I use or buy near me. I don't have to hunt them out.

It's not about a stupid cringe dance sharing app. It's about censorship of social media by vested interest groups.

True. But, you can do both

I understand you may not have lived carefree but here's two places with extreme weather that do fine without cars (provided people invest the minimum amount to establish public transport):

Nothing says we are a reliable supplier of critical imports like banning the supply. Diesel price hike will likely cause worldwide strife in the next few months, the effect of which might last the next decade.

Full access to currently published copyrighted books was way too much. Even Google just showed snippets or showed abandonware books. They really should have settled.

It's more about the law the US is passing right now, that expands definition of antisemitism with a view to restricting protests against the genocide

First of all I welcome this idea, and think it's ok if there's many different types of encyclopaedia on different perspectives. Now, how will a decentralised wiki deal with something like a rando claiming to be uni professor and inserting thyself in admin position over time? How is activitypub helpful in writing wiki?(Edit credits?)

Finally a site you might find helpful: https://wikiindex.org/ (https://web.archive.org/wikiindex.org/ as it seems to be down)

What is weird is that engagement without paid boosting is now mostly decimated on twitter. And the part that is boosted gets mostly engaged by bots. The situation is frankly ridiculous and no competent organization or personnel should be giving anything but RSS one way update there.

Dudes trolling, right?
