Maybe so but apparently that's what most people want.

Personally, if I find that an app abuses notifications just to keep me coming back, I just turn them off or delete the app entirely.

Not sure why you were downvoted because you are right. People overwhelmingly go where other people already are, and that's the big platforms.

Really? TBF it took me trying out a few until I found something I liked, but I'm using Voyager on iOS now and it's almost as good as Apollo (RIP) used to be. It's so similar you'd think it was made by the same dev (it's not).

At least you can have opinions like this on Lemmy without getting banned immediately like you would on reddit.

Yes, this is definitely worse than what Israel is doing in the Gaza Strip right now. /s

Biden's entire cabinet is Jewish. Would be a big surprise if any one of them did NOT support Israel more or less unconditionally.

Once you realize that politicians will always lie in order to win votes, or at least intentionally misrepresent the likelihood of them achieving any of the things they promise, you'll probably be angry and disappointed for a while, but after that, you'll be free from the illusion that you'll ever be able to solve any of your problems by voting.

If you want to improve life for yourself and those around you, it's far more effective to figure out what you can change than it is to hope for any politician to change anything for you. Sometimes they will, but most of the times they'll just leave you hanging.

Basically, Musk is alleging is that they claimed this was a common practice when it was, in fact, extremely rare.

In his tweet about this he said that out of 5.5 **billion ** ad impressions that day, less than 50 were objectionable according to Media Matter's criteria. In other words, there was a 1 in 100 million chance that a normal user would randomly see something like this.

For comparison, the following things have about a 1 in a million chance of happening (i.e. are 100 times more likely):

• flipping a coin 20 times, getting tails every single time
• winning the PowerBall lottery if you buy six tickets a week for a year
• a devastating earthquake occurring in Seattle within the next 5 hours

I just read the MM piece and it doesn't appear to make any specific claims about how frequently this might have happened, it merely says "We recently found ads for Apple, Bravo, Oracle, Xfinity, and IBM next to posts that tout Hitler and his Nazi Party on X." and that "X has been placing ads for Apple, Bravo, IBM, Oracle, and Xfinity next to pro-Nazi content." which does indeed appear to be factual since it makes no claims about frequency, so I guess we'll see if the court is convinced that it was defamatory. It certainly seems to be the truth, but not the whole truth.

If it turns out they really DID have to create 100 million page views in order to find a single questionable ad placement, and they failed to mention that, you could make the case that they were intentionally trying to hurt his business.

Yes, I believe that's the allegation made in the lawsuit, that they intentionally manipulated the algorithm in order to engineer this ad placement.

Edible plastic wrapped in inedible plastic

Real cheese doesn't require individual slices to be wrapped in plastic in order for them not to stick together.

Yes, I absolutely agree. It's unrealistic and downright narcissistic to expect that everyone should accommodate your ideology everywhere and at all times. But this is exactly what LGBT advocates like you are demanding.
