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?

This might actually end up being a good thing.

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

why are people still using facebook?

Same reason people are still using Instagram and Xitter. Social Graph. FB has 3B MAU.

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?

In statements to NPR, Reuters said it has withdrawn the incorrect report, blaming a headline published on CNBC.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?

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

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

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

Cool. Wouldn’t have guessed that.

KDE Connect works on Windows!?

None of that has anything to do with the creators on Nebula or the Nebula platform itself.

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

It’s just a terrible terrible idea.

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.

I really don’t think it is.

The two biggest issues are actually not software related

I disagree, the biggest issues are related to discoverability, and most certainly software-related.

Peertube has the issue that its not very popular, so creators have to really plug their stuff.

Not necessarily. They only need to agree to allow an instance to mirror their content, and possibly one day contribute something to it in the event that it becomes popular enough. For now, consent is really all that’s required. The only revenue they’re missing out on is AdSense.

Its not profitable for creators UNLESS they add a way to monetize. Some argue that with secondary sources such as patreon, its not an issue, But I just don’t see it.

Patreon is one of many different ways to generate revenue. Most popular Youtubers are diversifying in various ways. The most effective of which is creating their own products and using their channels to promote them. Affiliate links/codes is another way smaller creators can diversify.

I like the ability to post my videos and get comments without getting flagged for whatever on Youtube.

As always, with freedom comes abuse. Youtube has a lot of regulations that can be cumbersome but also can protect creators and users.

Hosts and users who want their stuff available to their audience without YouTube’s bullshit.

sundar pinchai can be added to the list of CEOs that suck?
