They definitely want to know about your sex life. Advertisers want to target pregnant/expecting women, happily married people, unhappily married people, men in dry spells, gay men, lesbians, kinksters and so on. Even if they're not marketing sexual products, advertisers will want to target those groups.
That's what Google does with search and advertising, isn't it? They take everything they can see and use it to make money.
If I were making a web crawler, I would make it so that if a crawler finds a domain that appears to have changed dramatically or gone offline it will re-crawl the domain and flag already-crawled pages as potentially obsolete.
Businesses and governments have security cameras. Your bank and credit processor will log every transaction you make, Your phone monitors your location, your cell company monitors it too. You have a good half-dozen firms monitoring you basically 24/7 for a variety of reasons. And it's obviously not any better once you're on the internet.
Of course you do. At high energy levels, the small effects cancel out. You've got dozens to thousands of GeV of kinetic energy, the 1 GeV of mass in the proton is all but a rounding error. The really weird stuff happens at low energy levels, where the details actually matter.
It's kinda the opposite of relativity, which converges to to something mundane at low velocities, but things go off the deep end at high velocities.
Once the raw emails have been fed into their ad targeting system, the content of those emails loses the vast majority of its value. Storage is cheap, but not free and inactive accounts have particularly low value. So of course they'll delete the data.
Sounds like he'll still be working on other content, like Lateral, Technical Difficulties and Tom Scott Plus.
Twitter is going even harder than Pinterest. They're not even showing a preview of the content, they're just immediately redirecting users to a login page before seeing anything at all.
In countries with dictatorial governments where the mainstream media cannot be trusted , twitter (&other SM) are used to organize protests and discussions.
It was good for this, but it is not anymore
Thermonuclear catsplosions are the result of modding the game, not due to a bug.
Regular catsplosions are merely a performance problem caused by players being too fond of cats to keep their population under control. Also not really a bug.
And that's exactly what's supposed to happen. Instance wars and eventual defederation and fragmentation are important moderation tools, and will progress the culture and feel of instances and regions of the Fediverse. Many instances will form federated cliques that are highly connected and have similar vibes and cultures, and some will be federated with multiple cliques, showing users a variety of cultures and situations.
If the Fediverse reaches a large enough number of people, it can support multiple independant cliques, and enable users see entire mini-universes with different communities and vibes.
