Never - he was a Jewish prophet. Christianity was invented by Paulus.

If someone populates it and if apps do it. The “debate” is whether this is something systemd should or should not have done.

systemd is introducing birthDate as a user json field, if that’s what you mean with rumor.

The PR to revert that change was not merged:

Germany refuses to implement different electricity zones within the country, something we implemented because the EU told us to. In this case maybe it is Germany that should leave then?

Germany now relies heavily on our energy when renewables aren’t supplying enough which has greatly increased our prices, leading to industries having to close down here.

Yeah, and we’ll never forgive you.

Well as one of those persons who did development on home computers in the 80s I know exactly how they spread … :) Bootsectors mostly, but there were some that hid themselves in executables too. You copied a disk from a friend, ran it and the virus was then resident in memory until you turned the computer off again. Any new disks you inserted would be at risk of getting infected.

Remove one instance of “internet” from the question and you’ll get serious answers.

Got a CPAP at 51 years of age. Probably needed it at least 15 years earlier tbh.

Amazing. 10/10. Will never sleep without now.

Why would people view/follow them? “Influencers” only exist because of the algorithms. I’ve seen several try on Mastodon, followed by loud complaining and leaving when they realize that posting a lot of hot takes doesn’t generate followers.

That, too, is caused by the algorithms. Else you would not be constantly fed with unattainable body images etc.

I think too many are unable to picture what algorithmic-free social media even looks like. Mastodon is a start, then you have Pixelfed (Instagram) and Loops (Tik-Tok) you can try as well. It’s really that different.

Why do you think so? What data supports that statement?

(I’m old enough to have grown up with non-algorithmic social media)

No. The algorithms, created to maximize ad-profits, are the ones promoting “engagement” which due to human nature always means anything that polarizes will be shown higher up in feeds than calm rational discourse.

Almost correct. What should be banned is algorithmic social media. Non-algorithmic is just fine also for kids.
