It is new. It's also old, like the way the internet used to be. The way /c/Canada doesn't turn into /r/Canada is by staying and engaging. 🤗💛

It is pretty exciting though.

If one is using Google services which is most likely the case if they're using one of the popular Android phones that has Call Screen, then Google already has the ability to do that via multiple other avenues like Contacts, Gmail, Calendar, Photos, Docs, call logs and others. Not to mention they have root on every Android phone with Google Apps on it, but let's assume they're only collecting what you agreed to. In other words if one is in bed with Google services, adding Call Screen to the mix isn't increasing the amount of exposure by a significant amount. If we're in bed with Google anyways and they're doing everything you mentioned, we may as well get more services rendered for that.

Personally I'm very much in bed with Google ever since the Gmail beta in 2004-5. I'm not ecstatic about it. That's a risk I'm monitoring and have some mitigations in place for. I'm also not letting anyone else in my bed because every additional bedfellow is additional risk. E.g. Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Meta or some small questionable entities like Brave.

I'm planning to nail them on a particleboard and tie all the connections rigidly on it so that they can't be accidentally disconnected or tipped over.

With the way the 3 levels of government are structured, federal, provincial and municipal, along with independent agencies like the BoC, is it really surprising that we get disjointed, misaligned policies? On the other hand, we know that centralizing and streamlining the chain of command can lead to too efficient policy making that can efficiently introduce bad policy... 😔

And this is how the climate change costs keep mounting.

Great, so it's reproducible and Lemmy-the-app related, not instance-specific. Should be fixable across the board once it's identified and resolved.

It's known in the industry as the throw-hardware-at-it optimization. It's often effective and what's needed to buy time for software optimization to come in.

Does this behaviour appear on other big instances? E.g. lemmy.ml?

Given our oligopolistic telco landscape, this is not surprising. Everything takes a while if it happens at all. 🤭

United we stand in shitting on the Nazis.

Agreed. I'll keep shitting on the Nazis.

But seriously, your post makes some strong assumptions with nothing to back them up. For example that depriving advertisers from impressions from a shit ton of users (due to the missing content) and therefore depriving Reddit from that revenue would hurt less than leaving those impressions but attach more garbage content to the ads. If anything, more enshittified platforms like Facebook and garbage media like Fox have proven that advertisers can live with quite a bit of shit around their ads. And so the assertion that this is some 4D chess move on the side of the Nazis doesn't hold water for me.

The time-limited strike argument is also flimsy. Nothing stops the mod community to do this again next week for longer or even indefinitely. The time limit doesn't guarantee Reddit that this won't happen again and for longer. And so I don't see how that's less scary than indefinite strike.
