if someone has ideas, I say let them cook. Open sourcing this can’t be bad for anyone imo.

Though I agree in a way, I don’t understand what anyone found potentially useful with this thing in the first place.

as digitized almost all societal functions are, we really should define basic internet access as a human right.

This varies from place to place. This is handled really badly in some places and much better in others.

hotels are controlled by laws and zoning, airbnb gets around that and turns planned living space into hotel space.

Appartment hotels maybe?

hotels/hostels?

Airbnb turns potential living space into hotel space and thereby helps driving up housing prices. The whole concept is inherently problematic.

this is true, but high quality doesnt mitigate the inherent limitations

Thats a bustle

expressing dislike is not gatekeeping though…?

Honestly no idea, you have a good point.

its super nice to plug a laptop into a screen and have the cable double as a charging cable for the laptop

yeah, only time will tell.

in a democracy the latter has to be preceded by the former.

Preliminary findings from july

• First, X designs and operates its interface for the “verified accounts” with the “Blue checkmark” in a way that does not correspond to industry practice and deceives users. Since anyone can subscribe to obtain such a “verified” status, it negatively affects users’ ability to make free and informed decisions about the authenticity of the accounts and the content they interact with. There is evidence of motivated malicious actors abusing the “verified account” to deceive users.
• Second, X does not comply with the required transparency on advertising, as it does not provide a searchable and reliable advertisement repository, but instead put in place design features and access barriers that make the repository unfit for its transparency purpose towards users. In particular, the design does not allow for the required supervision and research into emerging risks brought about by the distribution of advertising online.
• Third, X fails to provide access to its public data to researchers in line with the conditions set out in the DSA. In particular, X prohibits eligible researchers from independently accessing its public data, such as by scraping, as stated in its terms of service. In addition, X’s process to grant eligible researchers access to its application programming interface (API) appears to dissuade researchers from carrying out their research projects or leave them with no other choice than to pay disproportionally high fees.
