Those Google street view cars aren't just collecting photographs. There are companies that drive around parking lots to sell your car's location data and they're likely selling geolocated SSID data as well. what on earth

Context posted:My twitter (mostly podcast people) is basically a ghost town, but I can’t really tell if there’s a migration to Threads because I just keep seeing stupid grindset posts and Paris Hilton. I’ve missed posts my actual friends have made, that I’ve seen by clicking their profile. In the article yesterday about dipshit threatening to sue meta for copying twitter it said bluesky only has 50k users and ~375k app downloads. Thats just a tiny user base compared to twitter and threads, when musk starting setting rate limits they paused signups because they got too much traffic.

Boris Galerkin posted:Those settings are clearly for push notifications. That's entirely possible, all's I know is since I set them my feed has been showing me less stuff I don't give a crap about, like ESPN or Rolling Stone. It's likely entirely unrelated to those settings, but so far I have no complaints

KakerMix posted:I've not had a twitter ever, didn't auto follow anyone from my instagram when I made a threads account (meaning I had zero people I was following) and the thing had no idea what I wanted to see. Sports stuff right off the bat, ok fine but I don't sports, not even a little bit. Basketball and MLB and all that. Mixed in that was hiphop stuff, fashion and R&B and rap music things of which is fine I guess but certainly not my jam. A whole heap of blue checkmark people that I have no idea who they are. Makeup, fashion icons, quite literally stuff I have absolutely zero interest in. I thought facebook had dibs on everyone! I saw absolutely zero anti trans or hate or conservative anything, and I am a cis white dude in Florida that's almost 40 years old I get all dog pictures, pro wrestlers, thirst traps, poo poo posts, and yes, the japanese photography. So I think the algorithm has me figured out.

Edit: Oh this is Aaron Greenspan's website, who was banned from twitter last month for criticising Elon too much. So yeah that must be exactly what happened lol. I guess this is Elon's frivolous lawsuit arc. FurtherReading fucked around with this message at 00:46 on Jul 8, 2023 |

Thank you for the reupload! Wachtell is one of THE name brand BigLaw firms, so between Elon being Elon and them being an elite organization, I'm banking on them dotting their Is and crossing their Ts and this being frivolous. Time to peruse the complaint, of course.

Assuming the allegations are true, the payout was well after the deal's done, there's not $80 million worth of billable hours to do. There may be some particulars of California law I'm not familiar with but in general you don't get to charge five times your actual billed work for giggles. To be clear: I'm not passing judgment on whether this in fact happened, and there may be a defensible reason for the fees. But Wachtell won't be able to scoff it off in the first motion to the court to get it dismissed and it will definitely proceed to discovery. kw0134 fucked around with this message at 01:03 on Jul 8, 2023 |

ruddiger posted:White people not understanding colorism within the latino community will never not be surprising to me. I feel like we touched on the colonial hierarchy of Latin America extensively during my honors history class in sophomore year of high school, and revisited it briefly during senior year. If I had bothered to finish a college STEM degree by now, I probably could have gotten through without ever encountering it again. And if I hadn't taken the honors-level classes during high school, I probably never would have encountered that history at all.

Id. Art. I. Musk's behavior is a loving excellent bellweather for this. His 'influence' and height, especially now that he "runs" Twitter is such a [conflict of interest?] that it/he is not only a Risk Factor, but affects not only the social media industry, but others as well, at full depth, breadth, and width, INTENTIONALLY. If it can be Discovered that he uses bots and other false, fraudulent, or artificial means to affect undue influence on these industries, and yes, also stock prices (doesn't he short himself? What's up with all that crypto bearing his face that he never seems to file trade dress/infringement complaints against?) among other things, then that is extremely culpably complicit. If he has ever done it to rivals, or otherwise affected or manipulated markets, individuals, corporations, or anything remotely construed as an entity or structure, then he's a loving idiot.

I definitely agree that the outgoing Twitter crew's motivation is probably a "gently caress you, Elon," but I'm interested to see Wachtell's response because it's impossible to imagine them not anticipating Elon trying to weasel out of this and preparing accordingly. Admittedly, this isn't my area of law at all, but my best recollection of corporate law is that boards get away with over-paying whoever the gently caress they want in the name of "business discretion."
