@mbirth@lemmy.ml "Some of them", sure.

Which is not 90% of them. It's the exceptions.

If a block-button stopping read-ability works in 80% of the cases, it's better than one that works in zero percent of the cases.

Look at twitter.com/@elonmusk in a private tab.

Most of the posts you see are from 2022!?

The block button on Twitter has gone from 80% effective to 0% effective.

Well done Musk. Well done.

@mbirth@lemmy.ml And yet that minor inconvenience is enough of a hurdle that Musk thinks he has to get rid of it. Following a profile logged-out is impossible now, and alt-accounts are a pain to maintain. I'd wager that in way over half of the cases where someone is blocked, they do in fact then never see the blocker's posts because they don't run alts or view logged out.

🤷 I've mostly used it for MAME anyway.

Is there anything more bullish than a big media organisation warning their readers not to buy? Top signal is when the NYT says it's great and everyone should buy in. Seems there's a way to go yet.

Well he's going to need all that money to pay his water bill! Have you seen the rate they're going up?

@Zoldyck@lemmy.world

Bush, Trump, Clinton and Biden all got more innocent people killed than Julian. Their crimes all dwarf anything he is accused of let alone is guilty of. If you are not a literal bot, you have allowed yourself to be programmed by intelligence agencies into hating the man who exposed the crimes over the men who committed them.

@Anamnesis@lemmy.world The British People don't want it at all, but we are ruled by fuckheads who can only get their seat by accepting bribes from private health companies.

@flamingos@feddit.uk That's why the sudden rush-move. Calling the election before enough letters can arrive to have him kicked out.

@AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space More like exposing him really. Let him talk to damn himself.

@beeng@discuss.tchncs.de I wonder what proportion of the original code is still there. Not much I shouldn't think. The original app didn't ask for android permissions the way the modern one does, if only coz Android changed the way permissions work since then.

Whatssapp is designed as a surveillance app, it's primary purpose is to collect data from your phone for Facebook to analyze, so they make it basically impossible to use unless it's installed on your phone.

The british public are pretty conservative, but the tory party are a fucking wrecking ball and no conservative should vote conservative if they want to conserve things.
