Anyone know of this? Everywhere is saying It is better than Facebook, as in Facebook can steal your data and worse.

 

I saw an article here about it, but that was back in 2010. Suggestively, they have grown since then.

 

As far as I understand, they don't suggest content, or suggest what you view. It is made up of #hashtags. If someone else has the same #hashtag as you, you see their posts.

 

I tried watching some YT vids, but either they go too fast, or drag, drag, drag on forever.

 

I signed up with them, and sort of learning the ropes, but do any of you know about this?

I have heard of it, but never used.  Why join a social network if not many use it?  That's why I'm seldom on G+.  Everyone I know is on Facebook.  

 

Privacy is a myth if you have a cell phone or use the internet.   If it's free, they're using your data somehow or how is service getting paid for?

Social media is only as good as the people who socialize on it.  (which is why all of the current ones suck due to the idiots of the planet on it 24/7)

Mark Cuban's Dust was cool (early version of post deletion like Snapchat's original model) - but it never took off.

I wonder how much deep web use it gets

    • IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      IBM reveals sub-1nm chip technology, production expected in another 5 years by Pradeep Viswanathan TSMC is now leading the chip manufacturing industry with its 2nm-class process node called N2. Samsung Foundry also has a 2nm-class process node called SF2. TSMC says N2 entered volume production in Q4 2025. Samsung says SF2 started mass production in 2025. Today, IBM announced the world’s first sub-1-nanometer chip technology, marking another major semiconductor research milestone. The new technology is based on a 0.7nm, or 7-angstrom, node and uses a new transistor architecture called “nanostack.” The new design vertically stacks and staggers nanosheet-based transistors so that more components can fit into the same chip area while also improving performance and power efficiency. IBM claims that this new sub-1nm chip can pack nearly 100 billion transistors onto a chip the size of a fingernail. This offers almost twice the density, up to 50 percent higher performance, or 70 percent better energy efficiency when compared to IBM's 2nm node design announced back in 2021. Also, IBM mentioned that this new architecture can deliver 40 percent SRAM scaling. It is important to consider that this announcement from IBM is a research milestone rather than a near-term process node launch. Back in 2021, IBM unveiled the world’s first 2nm chip design, claiming 50 billion transistors on a fingernail-sized chip and major performance and efficiency gains. Five years later, IBM’s 2nm technology has still not entered mainstream commercial production. That is because IBM is no longer a major commercial chip manufacturer. It sold its chip manufacturing business to GlobalFoundries years ago and has since then focused only on semiconductor research, IP development, and partnerships. To productize its 2-nm chip technology, IBM partnered with Japan’s Rapidus, but it has not resulted in anything shipping at scale. IBM says that its new sub-1nm technology can reach production as early as within the next five years. If that happens, it will likely depend on manufacturing partners, advanced EUV tooling, and years of yield improvements.

      It's funny when thieves accuse other thieves of stealing. Ai companies just blatantly siphoned all the knowledge of the internet without consent and are now selling it with their service... so excuse me if I find this a bit ironic.
