@reiver@mastodon.socialFrom the year 2001:
I remember when web-sites like this were considered very, very, sleek, new, and fancy.
And, compared to what web-sites tended to look like in the 1990s, they were!

#CNET has certainly had quite some journalistic arc over the years, I tell ya hwat.

Android now has a way to find lost items using its Find My Device network. How does it compare to Apple's Find My and AirTags? Let's put them to the test.

Culling is a horrible policy that removes historic material for the sake of an algorithm. We should publicly shame companies that do it.
Which means I’m picking on #CNET this evening.

Long thread/9
Schmidt was echoing the sentiments of his old co-conspirator, Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy: "You have zero privacy anyway. Get over it":

Both men knew better. Schmidt, in particular, is *very* jealous of his own privacy. When #Cnet reporters used Google to uncover and publish public (but intimate and personal) facts about Schmidt, Schmidt ordered Google PR to ignore *all* future requests for comment from Cnet reporters:

Is this the unravelling of @CNET?
It was one of the first major online publications I used to properly geek out over.
It’s a terrible state of affairs for the exceptionally talented staff, many of whom have been doing a stellar job for half of my life.
Artikel von KI: US-Newsportal pausiert umstrittene Praxis
Auf CNET sollen vorerst keine weiteren Artikel veröffentlicht werden, die von einer KI verfasst wurden. Auch intern wussten wenige über die Praxis Bescheid.
I was banned from Twitter for relentlessly going after corrupt politicians & ecocidal corporations & their selfish enablers. Before great exodus from Twitter. Been censored & banned on other big SMs for same thing. I started here, Nov. 13. Read a #CNet article & that's how I found it. I had no idea how this worked but opted to dive right in & give it a go. I'm still learning how to us this. I built my space here by posting what I'm passionate about & searching for hashtags to follow.
