No.

Yes, you’re relying on an offline inference device to make trigger choices. Basically “if brown, shoot” from what I gather.

Two different questions.

They are a gateway to federated material as any other (like Lemmy), and those controls are at the platform. They can gatekeep federated content very simply.

There is nothing stopping them from leaving it all open aside from costs though. Hosting is very expensive, and I’m not sure how they plan to support their platform aside from advertising, at which point you may be stuck in a spot where you shut down certain intersections to appease advertisers.

Anyone have the linked docs from the article? Looks like archive didn’t get them in time.

There is a huge gap in there that you don’t see though, and Salesforce profits greatly from it. Small and medium-sized businesses who hate using Salesforce, but premade alternatives aren’t customizable for what they need. Throw some customization at it, and you get exactly what you want.

This is essentially how SF became big to begin with. It sucked so bad, people hired engineers to build their extensions on top of it because it had the option. A capable FOSS solution opens the door to people being dedicated hosts for it, as well as offering pluggable solutions.

I understand the converse on its success, just see an opportunity to do better with it.

Good. Hope it gets some traction.

WOW. Sleep and rest are mistakes. TIL

Lol

This fucking timeline…

They are a TRILLION DOLLAR company. They aren’t flinching.

Nope, just where you divest your stocks like any other tech run.

Idiots. Short it and make money.

I think we need more context.

Edit: after getting more info from other comments, that’s gonna a be a hard fucking no.

GFY, Edgelords. Just because Trump won an election doesn’t mean you’re right.

Good.

Other people answered, but to your point, in some cases THEY CAN compel without a court order.

Biometrics don’t conform to certain laws, and it gets even more complicated if you’re entering the US through customs. They can practically hold you indefinitely if you don’t comply. Whether you have legal representation is sort of an after thought.

I fucking hope so.

Lawyer. Not true.

Example: An officer pulls someone over and suspects them of something arrestable. Then says “Do you want me to get your personal belongings from your car?”

Any person agreeing to this allows them to hold your phone as evidence indefinitely in the US now.

Or one candidate just lied all the time and promised shit he never intended to fulfill because he wanted a way out of jail.

Well, we’ve just crossed into what will be a third-phase Corporatocracy, and a Monopoly gamed service industry.

You have other options now that are not the usual players, but then you’re giving money to Starlink.

You have the option of organizing to create a local fiber concern as a public utility, but in a few months they’ll pass laws preventing that from ever happening.

Your best option on the Internet between is an unlimited cell plan and a hotspot, and it’s not a great option, but the competition is still so heavy that your bill won’t change. Higher latency, but probably decent throughput.
