Meta will face daily fines of €89,500 if it doesn’t comply with the order.

Bet they can write it off as expenses.

Where I live it’s much more complete than google maps, especially in the countryside.

I don’t see a scenario where google or the likes would be allowed to fail. So moot point.

Hypothetically it would open a window for open source services to sneak in.

Middle term? The phasing out of personal computers, and moving toward a system of servers/terminals where noone owns software.
You’ll rent computing power or storage space, you’ll only pay for the interface.

I’m still angry about it.

Depends what you mean by security.
If you mean privacy, no such thing exists. All browsers snitch on you, and trying to actually have a private life will land you in jail soon enough.
If you want to do online banking, any of the big three will do if updated regularly.
I’d choose firefox as a symbolic protest against tech oligarchy.

I use it from time to time. The tech is getting better.
But it’s very hard to find anything interesting on it.
They REALLY need to focus on implementing content filter and discovery tools.
Right now it’s a lot noise and reposted videos. The search function doesn’t work at all.

I think the platform could be viable with a decent, verbatim search function; a tag-based browsing system, and the ability to visualize the federated instances and browse any of them as local.

It’s still possible to find interesting videos by browsing an instance focused on a specific interested as local.

Baseless slander.

I think it’s a survival reflex. People pick up on popular trends, and follow them so they don’t get lynched. It’s hard to unlearn this kind of conditioning, even if you move to a relatively safe environment.
