More than Twitter. Less than Mastodon. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Bought a second hand Pixel 7 in like new condition at the time for $250 on back market (dropped it, bought another, still cheaper than the equivalent iPhone 14 lol). That at least means I am not financially contributing to Google, but I do agree that I don't think there is a way to verify that the hardware is completely foolproof even if its the best option we currently have.
I guess that's true of any hardware though, and we have to make our assumptions based off known quantities such as Pixels' unique hardware security features?
But yeah, it's a minefield out there. Let's get carrier pigeons.
Its 2030. your state of the art AR glasses have a bug. mr. mime is lurking behind every corner... always watching
Exactly the sort of thing I was looking for thank you!
Nothing clever to say except that this is fascinating and it would be cool to see mmorpg-like environments for other studies of virality, social phenomena etc. Anyone know of anything else like this?
Good news, but does someone more knowleagable of these things know the likelihood of a Trump DOJ derailing this? I am hopefully as the original case was brought in 2017 under Trump, and his relationship with Big Tech is at best strained, but I truly don't know what to expect moving forward.
Me. There's just an irony in pointing out the failure of Steam to effectively moderate (true) when Twitter has a much larger footprint, seems to be actively encouraging hate speech not just tolerating it, and is being rewardered for such behavior. The article points this out too:
There's an aspect of irony to the complaint: Elon Musk turned Twitter into a haven for racism and far-right rhetoric, after all, and he's being rewarded with a high seat in the incoming US government.
Senators only have so much time to pick and choose which issues to raise awareness about, so Steam seems like a weird fight to pick given the wider landscape ¯_(ツ)_/¯ . Could just be there's a much higher chance of getting an actual change from Steam than a larger social media platform.
Not to excuse any hate speech of any kind, but looking around at social media and the effect it has especially on young people and saying "steam forums are the problem" seems like missing the forest for the trees
No features missing just prefer an actively maintained app. I am also using it right now as its the best available option!
My bad you definitely did! The search continues!
Thank you for all this research! I've used both Pedometer (PFA) and Paseo, but is it true Paseo is actively updated? Seems like last commit was 2022 and used to come fairly frequently. I've been sad that there is not an actively updated pedometer app.

Perfect that the thing they are attacking her for is not even what she does. Just proves complying in advance is worthless, as Musk and his lackeys will attack for what they perceive to be true regardless of reality.
