I wasn't suggesting the like count would be hidden, but the ability to click into the like count underneath the post to see the list of users that liked the tweet. The article isn't entirely clear on if this feature would be disabled once user likes get privated, but I don't see why they would make the effort to do this in the first place if one could still see the users that liked an 'edgy' tweet anyway.

Aside from this clearly being a reactionary decision from Elon to prevent getting roasted with screenshots every time he likes nazi tweets, this also appears like a convenient way to obscure the fact that certain tweets with a large number of likes are being artificially juiced by bot accounts. Just another day on X, the best place for fake news, ragebait, and forced memes. It's honestly impressive how he's managed to fumble the platform this bad.

My read is that TV (or 'entertainment' as we've come to know it since the cultural explosion of television) still requires artists and/or professionals with some form of skills/vision in order to be made, but is ultimately produced by and for the enrichment of corporate giants at the end of the day. Under that system, works can still potentially be made which satisfy the interests of the artist, the corporation, and the consumer (and everywhere in between). The transition to the distraction economy (e.g., TikTok but more generally 'content' as we've come to know in the last decade or so) seeks to remove the pesky artists and professionals from the equation, and tighten the corporations' collective grip around the consumers' attention to the point that the constant use of their product is less of a choice, but more of a compulsion (or as the author states more plainly, addiction) to which there is little alternative thanks to the current landscape of culture at large essentially now being contained within a handful of apps.

+1 for international orders, would love to get notified once that goes live. I noticed that there doesn't seem to be a shopping cart to check out with multiple items at once, even if they're all from the same seller. Suppose that's not a big deal yet until I'm actually able to get orders shipped to USA, though. Good looks so far, very promising stuff!

You could always try making some music with mobile DAW/synthesizer/audio sampler apps. Or play around with photography and graphic design apps. Or get good at chess.

It's ironic that as a result of previous generations of the USA being so terminally car-pilled, the "scenery" of most American towns/destinations have slowly transformed into bland, ugly parking lots as far as the eye can see.

In this instance, the risks to be worried about is far more than just cancer. And it isn't exactly comparable to a career in a vinyl chloride factory because factories don't typically have these production chemicals ablaze and mixed with whatever else was in the train wreckage, seeping into the surrounding earth, water and air. Before even speculating on the undetermined adverse health effects of this event in the long term, the immediate impact of this environmental disaster should warrant a mandatory evacuation and corporate accountability.

Data would actually be a perfect name, but I don't think current technology qualifies it for a title of such power.

Society of the Spectacle. The revolution will not be televised.

Before writing any code, you'll probably want to lobby the government to completely overhaul the broken copyright and DMCA laws first. Then design the hosting around a decentralized infrastructure like Peertube.

They can keep holding their property? Homes are meant to be lived in by people.

This is a fair enough point, I'm not saying the host isn't being wronged by the state in this instance. It is a burden to fund such things that he may not reasonably be able to afford. But I don't know what the standards for required captions actually are because there was no effort made to elaborate or even link to the accessibility law being discussed. It's assumed that auto-generated captions won't work for one reason or another, since that would reasonably be the easiest and most accessible option (for the creator) to implement. I understand that professional captions cost money but cheap alternatives and community-driven efforts certainly exist. Respectfully, if the guy is hosting 15 websites just for these resources, it seems odd that he wouldn't make an effort to at least mention this circumstance or a timeline to shutdown with his users before a total ragequit. There's obviously many details missing throughout all this so while the situation is sad I don't think this is the best example to illustrate exactly what's going on in the HebrewNet.

Then if it's free, can it really be considered a business in the eyes of the state? Why aren't free auto-generated captions from YouTube sufficient for appeasing the law if no money is being made by the creator from the work? Is it being targeted despite being free because YouTube is still generating ad revenue? Which would mean that it should be YouTube's responsibility for content on its platform to meet the new accessibility standard? Again, I don't know how legal affairs like this work over there and he didn't elaborate, so readers are basically forced to ask questions like this in order to actually understand or sympathize with what's happening here.

Not much of a description of the new accessibility requirements, so I don't think people can have much insight about what exactly broke down here. I'm guessing if a website has more than 500 viewers/visitors a month, it's required that the videos must be captioned? Couldn't this guy just hire a professional captioning service or offer transcripts to users that may need it? This all seems a bit dramatic from the guy, but I've never heard of this accessibility law nor am I familiar with how Israel enforces such things, so some more context would be appreciated.
