SLA? If that means something like “service level agreement” (I don’t know, you didn’t specify, I’m guessing) then I can still find examples where it falls well below what I would expect from a public service such that if there was an agreement in place that I would definitely be opposed to it as a tax payer.
And if X isn’t viable there are other platforms that are.
I mean yes obviously, there are much more viable platforms like Mastodon, or even a self-hosted website.
Is Twitter/X viable for that? They can decide, and have, to randomly put information behind login walls.

That type of thing is concerning. What browser are you using out of interest?
I would always out of habit avoid any links that go to somewhere other than the advertised destination - so if it goes to an analytics platform I would copy and paste the text if the text of the link is a URL, or find an alternative. Always hovering links and being absolutely sure of where they go should really be taught as standard practice.
Presumably you can hover over the link to see the actual URL (which I think is best practice anyway), or is it more sophisticated than that?
My biggest regret was getting rid of a perfectly good portable CRT TV that would have been ideal for pre-7th generation gaming, just as they stopped making good quality CRTs.
I’m about to get rid of my ageing “dumb” TV and not replace it. Everything comes in to my laptop now, so any monitor and set of speakers to plug it in to will do.
My prediction is that this is going to be the end of the line for TVs as stand-alone hardware - just like most people don’t really have stand-alone Hi-Fi systems any more.
It’s so real that I had to enable 3rd party scripts in uBlock Origin to get past the second page, is that intentional?
I think all wordsearches are mildly infuriating, I could never stand them.
Of course, yes, and that’s why I’m not much of an advocate for English spelling reform. Japanese has particularly a lot of them.
Just a learner of Japanese here. Japanese is difficult to read if written purely phonetically because there are a lot of homophones (words that sound the same with different meanings).
So typically kanji carries the root of words and kana is for all the grammatical parts, loan-words, and everything else. Hiragana/katakana duplicate each other but are no more redundant than lower/upper case.
Speaking as a learner, sometimes it’s easier to learn the kanji than the sound of the word so sometimes it can make learning to read easier.
I view it like open source where commercial and non-commercial are on an even playing-field, what matters is their contribution. The freedom afforded by a healthy open-source ecosystem should mitigate negative commercial interests, it doesn’t always work out like that but that’s the kind of thing I would hope for.
There are actually extremely valuable contributions to open source from commercial entities.
There was nothing in the post indicating what app this was and “Remind” is a generic enough word, even if upper-cased, to make the service not obvious. It could be a porn-site for what we know, in which case that date should naturally be rejected.
What’s so bad about that? Even on Lemmy I’m posting things in public, intended to be read by the public, and if somebody wants to train AI on what I’ve given to the public then good for them. I refuse to use a walled garden. Being proprietorial about online posts is probably not the most effective response to online surveillance. I agree that Huffman is a douchecanoe though.
The annoying thing for me is someone posting a question, getting help from the community, and then immediately deleting all their posts assuring that nobody can ever be helped by it again. This is kind of a reverse of that which I would say is probably less common?
Is it not disgraceful that you have to use a trick so some third party company doesn’t install software you don’t want on your hardware? I think that’s appalling!
