Great video, thanks for posting! This guy articulated a lot of thoughts about algorithmic recommendations that I've never been quite able to form into coherent thoughts myself. I definitely understand why I decided to go all in with the fediverse or social web half a decade ago or so now.

I wonder if anyone (not in the government) was able to get a copy of this database before it vanished? In the same vein, I wonder if there are other databases that need to be copied before they're gone?

Sadly I have to agree with you again.

Yeah, you're likely right. I wonder if ICE officers were apart of this law enforcement accountability database that was erased today?

There should be.

I know, it's like the AI in control of our simulation isn't even trying anymore.

Well that's just awesome, another reason for cops to "protect and serve".

Maybe some folks will get some more money out of the inevitable lawsuits that will occur sometime in the next decade.

That rolls off the tongue a lot easier than its new "official" name.

That's how I do it too, but after reading your "hand in the blob" comment, perhaps I'll start wearing gloves.

But that's true of any network connected messaging protocol, making sure a message is delivered could be implemented client side. The issue with AP objects not making it to other clients / servers is more about federation discovery.

I definitely look forward to a future where I might not have to consume NSAIDS like candy anymore, because those are definitely doing some real damage.

It is very interesting and amazing stuff, no doubt about that. The future of medicine is only going to get more amazing, but I suppose I just really have very little confidence in that space because of a lack of understanding in oddball humans like myself who have somewhat bizarre physiology. For the vast majority of people, I think having a pain medication that doesn't also slowly kill you is obviously a net positive.
