Closed/private Communities akin to Discord or Whatsapp, where you could have family channels or work groups, classes and the like.

we have no indication at this time that any data was improperly accessed by Meta employees

What does “no indication” mean if they record every keystroke? Did they screw up their snooping program as usual, or are they lying as usual?

If it was me, I would not run Lemmy/Piefed in your situation. These things are designed to be fully open and visible to anyone who want to look at them. Probably not your use case.

I’d rather look at something like a Matrix instance, where you can have encryption and secrecy built in. Also, you say that you’re a noob in these things. If you want to hide from the government, you really do need someone very experienced to help you with security, or else it won’t end well.

All the best!

I use AI to my advantage, as long as it’s still at the “free until you’re addicted” stage. I found that it’s particularly good as a language teacher - learning new languages is one of my hobbies.

However, i am over 70 and will not fall into the “let AI tell me what to think and then think it” trap; i can see through it. This ability should be taught first at school, before the kids can use the useful side of the tool. But most teachers themselves are used to make the kids think what they want them to think, so I doubt that it will work.

He’s just announcing the next wave of layoffs for the Christmas holidays.

When the bubble pops, then the value drops.

Heroic, you forgot “heroic”.

Profits, lol.

I still like my 3D Tetris, though. I was just never able to beat my record that i scored in 1995.

I’d love to go back to horses, though.

Can we make Claude remove all Instagram accounts in one go? I’d pay for the popcorn, if someone pays for the beers.

But he, it’s 2026 now. We have AI toilets. The more often you have the runs, the more tokens you can use there. Go get your daily dose of castor oil and become a high-ranker.

It was easy. The bathrooms were near the entrance, where the receptionist could see us and tick their boxes…

I worked once in a company where they noted down how many times each employee went to the toilet in a day. if you had the runs they would write you up. needless to say, I lasted just about 3 weeks before I quit.

This here sounds very similarly stupid.

Looks like a very good way to shoo actual humans off of your website.

If ever they use audio to communicate…

Bloody speed of light is just so slow…

We cannot even have meaningful conversations with our closest genetic relatives, the chimps. We studied the songs of the whales for decades and haven’t deciphered a single word (AFAIK). There is a lot of work to do, before we can even dream of talking to someone from outer space.

Yeah yeah, but surveillance is meant for everyone else, surely not for them. The safest place to be is inside the lion’s den innit.

Until it isn’t.

Oh, no longer YouTube “the secret cancer cure the government doesn’t want you to know?”

OTOH, if you have a passport, you can now leave the US easily…
