“This is a completely different approach to what people have done before. The writing’s on the wall that this is going to transform things, it’s going to be the new way of doing forecasting,” Turner said. He said the model would eventually be able to produce accurate eight-day forecasts, compared with five-day forecast at present, as well as hyper-localised predictions.

Dr Scott Hosking, the director of science and innovation for environment and sustainability at the Alan Turing Institute, said the breakthrough could “democratise forecasting” by making powerful technologies available to developing nations around the world, as well as assisting policymakers, emergency planners and industries that rely on accurate weather forecasts.

This meme seems reductive. Mandatory protection would also cover a single-payer health system.

There's a difference between protesting poor regulation of mandatory services (ie healthcare) vs a libertarian, "It's my right to die in a car crash because I don't want to wear a seatbelt"

Their current userbase is not their target userbase. They are trying to reach a more mainstream audience but all of their attempts to monetize are seen as useless by their current userbase.

  • They want to increase revenue w/ ads - A loud swath of FF users are tech savvy and have adblocking enabled
  • They want to pivot towards AI - A loud swath of FF users see AI as gimmicky

Repeat ad-nauseum

In addition to being in the wrong section, this also shows that Firefox usage was in a steep decline long before the pay took off in 2016.

Zero clicks on the video. Screw both of them.

Also feels like Mediate is subtly spreading Candace Owens videos by embedding it instead of just a screenshot or a link to another page to get the info if desired

Over the next few days, the publication will migrate to a new website powered by the nonprofit, open-source publishing platform Ghost. If you already subscribe to Platformer and wish to continue receiving it, you don’t need to do anything: your account will be ported over to the new platform."

They've started inserting a subtle ad as the first result instead of the actual app you're searching for.

This has to have been a change over the last month or two I feel like?

I'm having to reprogram myself to view the first result as irrelevant. Really makes me want to increase the F-Droid alternatives that I use.
