  Anyone who could make this news break would be in a position to steal unfathomable amounts of money in broad daylight, and get away with it.

  They’d also have to be in a position to lose a ridiculous amount of of money in the extremely likely case that no one looks twice at their completely unsupported Tweet.

  Should we look at it? Absolutely. Do I see any evidence? No. Literally anyone could have tweeted the same thing. The far more likely scenario, in my eyes, is that these news orgs saw this Tweet picking up traction from a bunch of idiots and couldn’t take the risk of being the last one to report the “news”, and so went ahead and reported completely unfounded non-sense anyway.

  Or being brigaded by dishonest reporters?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta ends its fact-checking program in the US later today, replaces it with Community Notes⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This might actually end up being a good thing.

  Is there any analysis of the efficacy of Community Notes on Xitter?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta ends its fact-checking program in the US later today, replaces it with Community Notes⁩ ⁨⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  why are people still using facebook?

  Same reason people are still using Instagram and Xitter. Social Graph.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs.⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I ordered one in 2021. Supposed to be delivered by EOY '22. EOY '22 they release a new prototype. No explanation was offered of why they didn’t start deliveries. They’ve pushed back the production date many times since then they introduced like 3 more prototypes while fundamentally redesigning the entire vehicle, including the chassis and powertrain, at different times.

  So yeah, I don’t think they have any intention of being “successful”, I think they’re just an investment grift.

  …by whom? A random Twitter user? CNBC? Reuters?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How a false X post about pausing tariffs led to multi-trillion-dollar market swings.⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  In statements to NPR, Reuters said it has withdrawn the incorrect report, blaming a headline published on CNBC. When asked for comment, CNBC said it “aired unconfirmed information in a banner,” which it “quickly” corrected.

  What in the absolute fuck?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  If it makes you feel better, no one will go unscathed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Framework temporarily pausing some laptop sales in the US due to tariffs.⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, they don’t have any plans of actually producing or selling anything.

  Don’t know why they need that when they already have your Google account

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Revealed: The shocking far-right agenda behind the surveillance tech used by ICE and the FBI.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s nothing you can tell me about surveillance tech that would “shock” me at this point.

  Same reason you can’t use your Gmail credentials to log into Outlook.

  Nice

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Car sun visor with built-in navigation⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  For cars like that I’d just recommend the Android head units that will slide right into the radio hole.

  BMW makes their engines out of plastic. They work, but not for long.

  KDE Connect works on Windows!?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great ATProto blog post on the reasoning behind their design architecture⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Its not wrong. The COO of BSky herself told me this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great ATProto blog post on the reasoning behind their design architecture⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because it’s not functional without BSky servers and BSky also controls moderation.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Great ATProto blog post on the reasoning behind their design architecture⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  ATProto is not decentralized.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  How so?

  Because it’s annoying. I don’t want to go back and forth across different feeds. I just want one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t really matter how “powerful” they are when they’re in a separate feed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  LMK when they add the ability to follow hashtags.

  Also I hate when sites make it to where you can’t see anything until after you create an account.

  I was more commenting on the fact that it’s an incomplete sentence. What does it have to do with Lemmy?

  Huh?

  Phanpy is phenomenal and fixes a lot of the problems Mastodon and all microblogging platforms have.

  It’s not a scam. The retailers don’t care where the money comes from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, we’d have to be more specific about what parts of the “user experience” we’re talking about here in order to make that assessment.

  I’m mostly talking about discoverability, the default algorithms, the lack of federation, and a way to actually filter content by language.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I really don’t think it is.
