DMARC is simple in theory but quite tricky in practice (with subdomains, for example). You follow the guide for a service (say Mailgun, for example) and everything looks fine, but CloudFlare shows up issues. You fix those issues and you&#x

[Fairly off-topic and political] There's a growing (retarded) perspective, not only here in Romania but in most of the EU, that we must digitalize at all costs; this itself is obviously not a problem, but it usually comes with the remo

If you post pictures of yourself on X and don't want grok to "bikini you", block grok. Yes, under the TOS, what grok is doing is not the "fault" of grok(the reason is the causal factor of the post[enabled by 2 human

I disagree in principle, but let's say the people decide to do so. Not only in US (under section 230) those are not media companies, but in EU too, social networks like Facebook/Instagram/etc. are treated legally as "pub

Everybody knows about Cambridge Analytica being used in the US/UK, but, for example, little to no one knows that Cambridge Analytica was also used by political parties within the EU (I won't give specific names [for now], but part

Thank you for the detailed insight. You've touched on an aspect that outsiders (like me) cannot truly grasp but can only guess about: motivation. And it's definitely true, motivation in the private sector is somewhat harder (you&#

Please convince me how gov. funding is better than the private sector. Before people jump to the "late capitalism and everything will be profit-incentivized" bandwagon, I fail to see how things like finding a new good medicine&#x2

(If you're OP: this is not a solution per se but more of a generalist rant; just so you don't waste critical time) People talk about changing laws or technical solutions, but the inconvenient truth is that technically literate peo

I'm more impressed by the fact that there's still DDR2 going around. I know DDR3 is still alive and well, even manufactured(I myself noticed the appearance of new DDR3 kits, which is weird); but didn't knew DDR2 was still in

AI & Social Media are only exacerbating the decline of morality in society, spreading it and making it more visible. Morality has been "breaking", objectively speaking, for at least a century, most noticeable with the advent o

Firstly, EU =/= Europe. Secondly: the death of EU cannot come soon enough. 10 years ago euroskeptics like me were wrongfully called "russophiles" (lmao), even though I'm from a country that is constantly threatened by Ru

I'm not sure that focusing on this mudslinging towards OpenAI (or any other company, for that matter) will achieve anything. It didn't work in the past and it won't work in the future. The reality is that parents, guardians,

The framing makes it sound like it's a "bug" or something. From my understanding it's not, because it's hardly a reliable reasoning tool: whether using statements or using data. Unless we come up with or advance a b

I feel the opposite is true. You're right about this, if we were to resume the internet to the arab world/middle eastern world/etc. But the internet de facto is a global medium of discussion(for all intends and purposes, even

Objectively speaking of course, NPR* has been trending downwards on almost every metric since 2019-2020, funnily enough except the income metric.[1] Also the objective data from statista[2] shows the same thing, but from an earlier date: 20

My position is not incoherent at all, or at least I don't think it is. Let me be more explicit: if EU deems the problem of misinfo is actually such an important thing on X, then it should itself go ahead and "fact-check" the

Yeah, sure. But in my honest opinion even if you were to outlaw anonimity you would still have these problems. I would go as far as to say that things would be actually worse, because those bad actors would actually confuse and mis/dis

I feel like some of the discussion about anonimity here is kind of misplaced. Just because illegal activies can be done under anonimity shouldn't mean anonimity should be banned aswell(in order to "prevent illegal activities"
