I made my Instagram account several years ago. I think I posted a couple photos at the beginning, now that I’m thinking of it.
Try generating 2-3 random AI images and posting them. Just to establish the account at the beginning.
It also makes sense that they’re more strict now. It may not work anyway.
I just made a dummy account. No posts no follows. I only use for occasional links people send me.
It’s a bit like walking through the park every day shouting at people, and not wanting anyone to know who you are. Eventually they’d figure it out.
That’s not a logical proof. That’s the claim. That’s the hypothesis that would need to be studied.
I need one hand free to collect the eggs
I’ve only got two hands. The basket is kind of necessary.
Agreed.
Alternative app stores aren’t sideloading.
Social media is standing up on a podium in a crowded street, shouting through a bullhorn. Now you’re asking about comming back the next day to tell everyone what you said yesterday is a secret. Do you see how that seems strange?
Privacy lost, can NEVER be regained. When you make something public, that’s it. It’s public now.
Never post anything to any social media that you might want to keep private. It doesn’t matter who owns it, or how it’s licensed, if it’s online unencrypted, it’s public; Now and evermore.
It’s not “damage”
At best it’s “potentially missed revenue”
But by calling it dammage, it sounds inherently like a crime that needs to be prevented. As if someone broke an accountants favorite pen or calculator. They’ll have to spend additional money to replace the damaged item, actually costing them something. That helps them get law makers and enforcement on their side.
But potentially missed revenue sounds very different. That sounds like they have some marketing research to do, in trying to sell their product. Which is difficult to get sympathy for.
No wonder they chose the word “damage”. And the news media goes with it, because they have a similar interest. Their also trying to make money selling raw intellectual property.
They do tend to be more expensive. But not extremely so. Maybe 20-40% more than a consumer equivalent.
I’ve decided my next TV will be a Digital Sinage Display.
Some people here already don’t like that they can’t know if something they deleted is gone, or that literally anyone can see anything they do here.
This would just destroy anyone’s concept of data ownership and control. Which I kinda like.
But pire peer-to-peer distributed systems like this, mean you need to locally store everything you may want to see or read, or ever have. Which is not possible for most
Not the kind if thing you can do with an extension.
Every broker has their own process. Some even require actual physical letters be sent to remove your data.
There are hundreds of those data brokers. And new ones opening as others close every week. Doing it yourself, and keeping up with it on a regular basis? That’s nearly a full time job. Nobody does that.
They have to get to streaming services.
Once there, streaming quality rips are easy to find.
You’re getting it for free, be patient.
That’s true, I didn’t use the word wrong, I only implied it.
Sorry for the confusion.
Yes that’s all true. But it’s a seperate problem that’s happening anyway, 230 or otherwise.
Yes that’s why repealing is the wrong thing to do.
As I said amend it.
The Fediverse doesn’t have any black box algorithms that recommend content. With the flat repeal of 230 it would be in danger. With my amendment it wouldn’t.
I understand what you were asking for. People ask for what they imagine. What they can imagine isn’t always what they want. Sometimes an entirely different idea can work better than they imagined.
By what you wrote, you want to be able to access Facebook and Instagram anonymously. The essayist most reliable way to do that is with a disposable account. Work around sites aren’t all that reliable. They work for a time then get swatted down, or limited in some way.
