If that’s what he’s doing, he still wont sink money into Twitter forever.

Yes a fair comparison.
Doesn’t necessarily have to do with conservatism. Not everyone wants to be randomly flashed without consent.
Here’s a related, interesting example for BlueSky, on generating disguised links and preview cards (with content the url doesn’t actually contain) for anyone curious: https://github.com/qwell/bsky-exploits
The article mentions there are aleady a few issues, some quite old. The article is useful for raising awareness and hopefully getting the fix prioratized higher.
They really shouldn’t have omitted in the title that it’s rejected asylum seekers they want to repatriate.
If posts were signed, it wont matter what instance youre posting from since your identity would be tied to your public key and not the account on a Mastodon/lemmy/etc server.
Thats more decentralized. It helps when you get banned, a server shuts down etc.
I’ts honestly hilarious that a Pakistani movie only seems to have white characters.
The description of jinn as being made of smokeless fire along with some being good and others bad, are exactly the Quranic descriptions of them, so its nice seeing some of the creator’s culture make its way to the film.
The disputed territories I imagine are a reference to Jammu and Kashmir. One of the characters called the dispute “idiocy”, interesting.
Deepfakes are being used to personalize political messages in India, here’s a fun article on it which also points out an instance all the way back from 2020: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/2/20/deepfake-democracy-behind-the-ai-trickery-shaping-indias-2024-elections
It also mentions using deepfakes to target constituencies speaking different languages, to defame opposing parties, and even creating deepfakes to cast doubt on legitimate videos:
Ahead of the state election in November, the caller requested that Jadoun alter a problematic but authentic video of their candidate – whose party he did not disclose – to make a realistic deepfake. The aim: to claim that the original was a deepfake, and the deepfake the original.
I’ve a few times shared personal information to people I am friendly with in public chats, accidentally or while not putting much thought into it. I imagine there are others like me who wouldn’t want to be doxxed.
Whatsapp is E2E encrypted isn’t it.
I can’t imagine how bad things must be for amateurish mistakes like that to have gotten through to the actual app.
I dislike like Facebook as much anyone on here, but I don’t think people who use it are morons. Better off not using though? Sure.
Why would you say that?
Why is it that the women wear such different and interesting clothes while all the men are … in black suits.
War crimes in a civil war and immigration issues involving Russian tourists. They seem a tad bit unrelated :P
The link to an article from 1999 refers to an entirely different case where a woman was executed during the previous rule of Afganistan by the Taliban. It isnt being used as evidence for this event.
I’m not sure why you dismiss the Independent but here’s the AP reporting the same: https://apnews.com/article/afghanistan-taliban-public-execution-stadium-73a175aef085f26bd6b574465be34c6f
What better ways are there to manage access to it?
