Why? Just toss it and never make that food again? You don’t need to spend your life hating what you eat, literally ever.

So the devs who created it can’t run an instance and it doesn’t scale properly. Yeah, I’m just gonna go out on a real short limb here and say that maybe the problem isn’t the instance.

Matrix is terrible any way you slice it.

It seems like we should be doing the opposite, you seem to understand tech just fine and are very ignorant about health.

I do not get this at all. Is it AI generated?

I’ve almost finished bringing a home project across the line that has taken me way too long and made my spouse upset. But it should be finished by next week!

Usenet has existed just fine for decades doing the same thing. They’ll never prosecute for downloaders, only uploaders. And encryption is just getting more and more powerful so that’s unlikely to change.

The wikipedia article has over 600 hundred references, including a section specifically on the disinformation campaign.

Russian use of social media to disseminate propaganda content was very broad. Facebook and Twitter were used, but also Reddit, Tumblr, Pinterest, Medium, YouTube, Vine, and Google+ (among other sites). Instagram was by far the most used platform, and one that largely remained out of the public eye until late 2018.

Advertisements bought … are estimated to have reached 10 million users. But many more Facebook users were contacted by accounts created by Russian actors. 470 Facebook accounts are known to have been created by Russians … Of those accounts six generated content that was shared at least 340 million times, … The most strident Internet promoters of Trump were paid Russian propagandists/trolls, …

In continued analysis … researchers found the most prominent methods of misinformation were ostensibly “organic posting, not advertisements”

Facebook originally denied that fake news on their platform had influenced the election and had insisted it was unaware of any Russian-financed advertisements but later admitted that about 126 million Americans may have seen posts published by Russia-based operatives.

There is more, but I think the 600+ sources in the wikipedia article do a better job than I ever will.

Sorry, clearly I responded too harshly. Honestly I’m just tired of the suggestions to use Matrix, when myself (and several other people I know personally) have constant issues with it. I’ve tried to use Matrix for over 3 years now and I am required to use it sometimes, but every time I’m incredibly frustrated.

I think they and the free software community are trying to put together a good solution.

I agree, and I do think we need that, but sometimes the focus should be on usability before security. I know how much that sucks, but if you look at Lemmy you see the same thing. The focus was on usability first. Security came later, because (honestly) security is kinda pointless when every user can set up their own instance and intercept any posts they want. We’ll get there eventually with security, but if people aren’t using your platform then security is pointless.

Please do quote me where I said “no one”. You are the one that put those words in my mouth.

oh definitely. just saying that OP was saying there was meaningful context and I was doing the same, looking at my friend and she looked bewildered XD

maybe it’s because they’re 2d themselves!

What Russian ties? JetBrains is a Czech company, with very little income from Russia. They suspended sales in Russia and Belarus in 2022. https://www.jetbrains.com/lp/annualreport-2022/

And please do list the practical reasons for avoiding Kotlin.

I’m using the default matrix server and I’ve tried with Element and FluffyChat. I’ve never used a different device to access Matrix. It has always been Firefox through Element, and then when that stopped working I switched to try to use FluffyChat which also did not work.

To expand, “unable to decrypt” would affect a lot of users. That’s a good thing and exactly what you want it to do when not correctly trusted.

No, you do not want this affecting every user who has done nothing to change their environment. The device is still trusted, else I wouldn’t be able to sign in and get new messages at all. Here’s a massive list detailing many of the ways this can happen and note that this goes back to 2022. So for 4 years now they’ve had numerous issues with thousands of users being able to decrypt messages sent on the only device they’ve ever used and it still isn’t fixed.

Don’t know what to tell you. I’m literally unable to read messages sent to me, they all show up as “unable to decrypt”. If I can’t even use the damn protocol then how many clients it has doesn’t matter.

And I have tried different clients.

And as far as I’ve read, this “unable to decrypt” affects a lot of users.

The comments on that article are unbearable.

So the Matrix developers/creators don’t know how to actually install the thing then? lol not a good response homie.

For me it broke down the second I started using it. I literally am unable to see chats on the only device I’ve ever used to access matrix, they’re all “can’t be decrypted”.

Dude, I hate AI. I’m not an AI person. Don’t fucking classify me as that. You’re the one not reading the article and subsequently the study. It didn’t say it included the doctor’s diagnostic work. The study wasn’t about whether LLMs are accurate for doctors, that’s already been studied. The study this article talks about literally says that. Apparently LLMs are passing medical licensing exams almost 100% of the time, so it definitely has nothing to do with diagnostic notes. This study was about using LLMs to diagnose yourself. That’s it. That’s the study. Don’t spread bullshit. It’s tiring debunking stuff that is literally two sentences in.

Yes, that was the conclusion.
