Are you seriously insinuating that the level of censorship on YouTube is anywhere close to Chinese platforms? A quick look on both websites would give you that answer very quickly.

I think more than anything, is to be wary of SMS and email notifications of such things in general. It is far too easy to spoof those. Contacting your bank through official means is probably the safest bet when it comes to situations like these.

Is anyone really surprised by this? Social media that's owned by an authoritarian country known for having extremely stringent censors would obviously take advantage of it the moment they could.

Has already been the case in Singapore but they require us to login to our digital government ID on some external vendor's site which no one sure if they're even reliable or not. It's easy to work around by changing your account's region though.

Not an option if you love somewhere where official parts are not for sale.

Second, the search engines that used to help drive users to Reddit mostly all have AI summaries / AI answers right there on the main search page these days. A lot of people read those AI results, get what they want right from Google (or otherwise), and never click any links over to Reddit.

Not just that but iirc a decision by reddit causes certain threads to only be displayed in search results without a post title and a description saying "the website doesn't allow us to show you content" so why would anyone click on the Reddit links in a sea of other links?

It wouldn't have flopped if they didn't just gave up on it. They were so far ahead of everyone else but just like they did with WP, they refused to continue building up its potential.

Doesn't it depend on who you follow? The only things I see on bsky are those I follow.

I think it was pretty clear but I do have experience building touch UI. It's more that a button click was being detected with "touchStart" which made it so that when users accidentally start a scroll gesture with their finger on the button, it automatically triggered the button unintentionally. The proper way to do this would be to detect it with a touchEnd event.

Just like how many years ago Huawei claimed to have a brand new OS (it was just Android under the hood) to replace Android back in 2019 but then finally announced that they released it in 2024.

I don't think you can compare it the same way though. For one, you're comparing the marketing departments of companies versus the average consumer. The decision making process is different and the product is different. For piracy, we're looking a a copy of a piece of work meant to be sold to the masses whereas this is a brand new commissioned piece of work for a specific purpose.

Add in the fact that the licensing of consumer media makes it so that you never actually own that piece of media. Whereas in this case, in most scenarios, the company who purchased the celebrity's likeness for the production of this work gets to use that work forever.

There's also the fact that using someone's likeness without consent is a whole other can of worms.

The key skills you learn from math is not arithmetic. If you're rationale for math not being helpful is that you don't find yourself doing arithmetic, you're not focusing on the main takeaway from math. The key skill is problem solving and logical processing.
