There were warrants issued on March 25 to him and his brother, which were ignored.

The video is 2 part, first is the summary of the case and another is about why this argument from Disney is the biggest pro piracy argument.

Basically, the case is about a doctor who had a food allergy and went to a Disney owned restaurant that promised to cater to people with food allergies. The doctor asked staff 5 times to make sure they were aware of her allergies, and all 5 times they said yes. It’s literally the most straightforward wrongful death case ever. But then Disney decided they want to fuck more people over, so they made an argument that the case should tossed and move to arbitration because her husband signed up to Disney streaming service on a free trial, years ago. And Disney is ignoring a lot of other facts, like that husband is not the one suing, her estate is, he cancelled the trial before the period ended, so he wasn’t even a subscriber at the time. The streaming site has an arbitration clause, but Disney park doesn’t so it doesn’t even matter. If the case can’t go forward, it will be only because US is a corporate-owned shithole, legally it’s a moot argument.

As far as piracy, it just highlights how fucked up everything is since if the husband just pirated, DIsney couldn’t have used that argument in court. So Disney created a situation now that if you want to be able to sue them for your loved one’s death - pirate Disney. It’s the most pro piracy argument that even the biggest normies can relate to.

It was always happening and at a large scale, it’s just there are new reporting requirements now, which leads to more nonspecialized publications to cover it more often.

You are missing the point. You don’t have to become a subject expert to verify the information. Not all sources are the same, some are incorrect on purpose, some are incorrect due to lax standards. As a thinking human being, you can decide to trust one source over the other. But LLMs sees all the information they are trained on as 100% correct. So it can generate factually incorrect information while believing what it provided you are 100% factually correct.

Using LLMs as a shortcut to find something is like playing a Russian roulette, you might get correct information 5 out of 6 times, but that one time is guaranteed to be incorrect.

Useless. Unless you are dumb enough to trust the result without verifying it yourself. And if you do verify it, at that point you spend more time than just doing a regular search.

All platforms that don’t have public API access will require a way to relay that information, but I was talking about the difference in how the messages are relayed. Matrix bridges work fundamentally on each platform/protocol having its own room and relaying the messages through the bridged room instead of the user as XMPP does. That’s why you can relay the same messages to multiple rooms on Matrix, but can’t do the same on XMPP.

Why is JSON better than XML? It’s more modern, sure, but from technical perspective it is not objectively better right? Not something worth switching protocols for.

XML is unnecessarily complicated. By trying to cram everything into the spec, it’s cumbersome and hard to parse.

You mention XMPP has transports as opposed to Matrix bridges. I thought they give you roughly the same outcome. What’s the difference?

The goal is the same, but the way they archive that is different. For transport to work, you need an account on each platform you are using the transport on. It relays the messages through that account by mimicking the client. While bridges work by relaying the messages between rooms and not specific users.

My understanding is limited, so if you are interested, please do your own research.

Google killed XMPP momentum. And while Matrix has many issues it needs to figure out, especially the development being almost exclusively supported by a for-profit company, they seem to slowly (very slowly) work towards more independence.

Matrix did some things right. Going with JSON spec instead of XML, having Element as uniform cross-platform client, offering bridges as a way to stay connected with your family and friends without needing to convince them to move (XMPP offers transports, but they function entirely differently) and offering end-to-end encryption by default.

XMPP in true open source fashion doesn’t have any uniformity from user perspective. Different ways to do the same thing on different clients, different clients on different platforms. That is a benefit for a savvy tech nerd, but it’s a huge inconvenience for a non-techie family member or friend.

If you actually bothered to read, you would know that it shows 0 trackers because Facebook doesn’t embed their trackers in the SDK, and inject them later once you grant them the permissions to the device, exactly the same way WeChat does.

That’s an oxymoron. Apart from having a dedicated device, you can’t really sandbox the app since it requires basic permissions to function that give access to core phone functions. See https://reports.exodus-privacy.eu.org/en/reports/com.tencent.mm/latest/
You can try to limit permissions of some features that you don’t intend to use.

So Matrix protocol?
