"Discoverable Servers are the most public spaces on Discord, with at least 1,000 members" from the linked source.
server owners have setting toggles to opt the server out of having public facing channel history or ai channel summaries. a server can remain discoverable and have the history and summaries off for the public webpage of the server.
i agree that discord is social media but the absence of instagram's individually targeted algorithmic curation is an important distinction when it comes to being "drug"-like for me
I don't see this mentioned in the configurator for a new model 3 on the tesla site right now. Under "Driver Assistance" it describes "Traffic-aware cruise control" only. Under "Active Safety" it includes "Lane Departure Avoidance" which is separate from the "Autosteer" feature described under the "Autopilot" section. It's possible they will choose to fold autosteer into the lane departure avoidance but there's been no announcement of that. https://www.tesla.com/ownersmanual/model3/en_il/GUID-ADA05DF...

i'm worried they'll start making user unfriendly changes, like more ads, to meet investor demands for increased profits. overall it's a great product which i use everyday and i'm happy for them.
i am tired of ads, algorithmic curation, public-ness, anonymity, and scale

i still crave social interaction but have moved to smaller private group chats with real people i either see in real life or have an ongoing connection with

united has free messaging on their flights and i found myself using meta's ai chatbot via whatsapp a few times. it's system prompt forces it to ask me inane questions at the end of every action so i would be happy to switch to something else.

just tried making one using this and it initially was way too casual for me and i didn't like how it split responses into many messages but it's very responsive to my prompts to change its style.

I think it's a coincidence. The Hong Kong CHOICE article is from 2020. The Australian CHOICE article is from 2025. I don't think there's any connection between the two publications other than the name and their general purpose.

without speculating on what actually transpired, the transition team of the incoming president gains access to computer systems after the election result is certified and before the inauguration. so the jan 8th date doesn't disqualify whatever happened from possibly being the result of a doge-precursor team

"A person familiar with the matter said Italy had breached the terms of Paragon’s contract with the government, which does not allow for journalists or members of civil society to be targeted with the spyware."
