#Meta was found to be #paying #neoNazis to post on #Facebook, violating its own #hatespeech policies. The investigation revealed that Meta’s #monetisationprogramme, which rewards content #creators for engagement, was being exploited by #farrightagitators and #whitesupremacistgroups. This highlights the company’s failure to moderate content effectively, especially after loosening its standards around hate speech. https://futurism.com/artificial-intelligence/meta-caught-paying-nazis-to-post-on-facebook?eicker.news #tech #news #ainews

Some people don't want war (a feeling that is quite reasonable...)
BUT modern people have to see that wars are 100% happening / happened / going to happen again.
So unless they choose to be blind or too scared etc, then they are actually falling into feeding / paying for the wars. #Paying for wars themselve$ while #complaining!
AND #BANKS ARE THE MAIN #WEAPON FOR WAR
(physical and #financial war comes mainly from #banks).
Do you agree?

#Paying a #hacker’s #ransom often leads to further extortion demands. Proofpoint’s survey of 953 companies found that over a third faced a second ransom after paying. #Hackers frequently retain stolen data, even after payment, as evidenced by incidents involving Klue and Change Healthcare. https://techcrunch.com/2026/07/22/if-you-pay-a-hackers-ransom-chances-are-that-theyll-come-back-for-more/?eicker.news #tech #media #news

@elsua54 So which one comes first?
#Paying monthly extortionate bills
or
#Morality (asking people to look after people / not use debt against people)I #suggest people save their #money and avoid paying - as it's only a month or two until you're in the same starving position and it's never enough for them #landlords.
Or least a place outside of the #scam city of #casino games + give chance to something else.
To keep paying is to keep supporting bad people and that could be worst scenario.

@elsua54
3 ⏺️ #Incentives I agree but from bad positions we have only but to accept the bad hole we dug [#inherited from our predecessors] and the casino we entered and help each other to 'get out' somewhat.
Just to take the hit, not try fix the bad methods always (as the fix is not to stay in the #casino / keep digging a #hole for others].To take the hit, #exit is the main way when #systems become so developed.
Tg back to raw #basics / not #paying / not accepting so much #cheating #swindle.

@markhburton
Many think #banks are #neutral (for it's #speculation? investment into #war? #paying for what #profits most devastating in a short time?) and it isn't #moral actually passing through those hands full of #bad actors (#immoral #investments) and growing what #fucks people best and #sucks most out of them.#Banks = #Negative #Equations #Maths / #Immoral #Math #People #Extraction

Playing With Strava Premium for a Free Month
Reading Time: 2 minutes
Years ago, when Strava was newer, and more appealing I eventually decided to pay for Strava because I wanted to support the project. I wanted to help make them sustainable. The same is true with Zwift. When both of them got VC funding I ended my subscriptions rather than renewing for another year. This was years ago.
For me, it's simple. If we are paying for a site like Strava, be patient, and use our money to improve things incrementaly. Never forget that a paying customer is providing more value than a VC. A VC Investor usually wants to extract value, rather than inject it. A paying customer is an investor. The paying customer should be king.
Strava and Runna
Recently I saw articles discussing the combination of Strava and Runna for 149 CHF. I see that Strava is 79 CHF per year, and Runna is 100 CHF per year. Strava features have been removed, to encourage people to move either to combine Strava and Runna or to buy Runna individually.
If the past is an indicator then Strava will eventually absorb and kill off the Runna app. We have seen this over, and over, for decades.
Suunto and Apps
Strava bought Sportstracker, and that became Movescount, which then became the Suunto app, which is where it currently sits. Sportstracker still works in tandem with the Suunto App.
Absorption
It's interesting to see Strava remove running coaching features, given that it would make more sense to merge Runna within Strava and provide people with a single app, rather than two apps. It also signals the Americanisation of yet another European app. If you were using Runna to avoid US companies, due to the current climate, then you're out of luck.
Garmin Connect, Suunto and Komoot
Features that we pay for with Strava are free with others. With Suunto you get a weekly and monthly heatmap by default. You also get AI feedback as an integral part, as long as you're using a Suunto or Xiaomi fitness tracker. With Garmin you get running coaching plans for free, you can draw maps and more. You can pay for Connect+ but so far I have not identified the niche it fills.
With the Komoot app you can draw tracks according to a specific sport with ease, and then share that activity either with contacts within the app or with the hyperlink to a public workout, or a private one with a specific link to make it "public".
And Finally
Strava has a healthy community of sports enthusiasts, so you don't need to use premium features for it to be worthwhile. Most people are cyclists, hikers, runners, swimmers and more. With patience you will find local communities of like minded individuals. Last year I started to use Strava socially and this year that is all the more true. I can cycle with people three or more times a week.
This morning I realised that when I was hiking I was living for the weekend, but with the cycling community I am cycling on week days and weekends so I am being social on a more regular basis. This is in part due to the free features of Strava.

##Paying for Searching ?
In the good old days of the internet, we had simple search engines. They were based on meta data extracted from web pages. Google came along, got smarter, and had intelligence in the content it returned for your humble search. Their mantra was all about respecting privacy.
How times have changed -- Google (and the other major search beasts) want to inhale everything they can about you. Profiling your every move around the internet. They sell this data, making huge sums of money and keeping billionaires arrogant and greedy.
Your search may appear free, but you are selling yourself.
In recent years this has become more obvious to the vast majority, and while some may not give it a second thought -- many are more wary.
I discuss alternatives and paying for search..... continue reading on my blog post

Good news, everybody! [1]
#Patreon has now added a new useless "#suggestions" widget to my timeline, and probably yours too! It tries to get me to sign up for more creators and pay them more money, without actually having a clue what I want to see!
It's another case of a company trying to jam junk down your throat to goose their "engagement" metrics. Somebody probably got a #raise or even a #promotion for nursing this #antifeature through the pipeline. I hope they have to drink themselves to sleep because of it.
It's clutter, and it pisses me off because it's just one more thing making it harder to actually see the #content I'm #paying for. Never mind the fact that adding un-skippable #advertising to a service I pay for every month is driving me awfully close to just shutting my Patreon account.
Remember, Advertising Shits In Your Head.
[1] Not actually good news.

Today I found a #security breach on a website that restricts access to a '#community" through #paid #admission. Here are my conclusions:
1) #Paying for something, especially when it raises #doubts or #suspicions, often proves to be a #mistake, as expected.
2) It's crucial to mix techniques and #integrate various #tools. Use both #GUI and #terminal together, #sign up and #anonymous conn. Relying solely on one approach is limiting.
