umami_wasbi, in Californians Say X Blocked Them From Viewing Amber Alert About Missing 14-Year-Old

I wonder why such an important piece of info is posted on social media but not on a dedicated webpage that can be linked to any social media posts.

postmateDumbass,

And remember the attempt to abandon AM radio as a standard for diseminating emergency information.

This is what happens when governments rely on a private corporate service for public announcements

Every government should just adopt a fediverse instance of some sort, maintain it and push that to everyone to use as a public announcement service. That way it would not be controlled, manipulated, lost or disconnected if they had full control over it all the time.

metaStatic,

This is a solved problem

Shit catches fire in Australia and we get text messages.

shani66,

Our phones in America get amber alerts and extreme weather notifications too, so idk what this article is on about

metaStatic,

ignoring for a second you can turn off push notifications so that's a stupid contact method in the first place they also just linked to a 3rd party site instead of sending info directly over the system.

Did you try reading it?

sunzu2,

Yeah but government doing anything besides feeding corporate parasites is communism.

Can't have that... We should be paying Twitter a service fee for them allowing our government to communicate to peasants.

mesamunefire, in Is it possible to design a social media app or service that rather than focuses on farming engagement, it tries to promote quality content?

Some fedi services have blocklists that look for keywords to auto-block from your feed. Its pretty neat! Might be something to consider.

Very interesting to read, but sounds so astronomically expensive and reliant on zero mistakes in every single aspect of manufacturing every single thing going into the pods, that no one will sustain paying for this shit beyond angel investors.

What happens in the abyss stays in the abyss.

I had no idea this shit depended on twitter!?!? what a bunch of bullshit. Even though I usually ignore amber alerts they should at the very least be as accessible as possible for people who help.

FreakinSteve,

Former HI Governor Ige could not recall a false missile attack alert because he didnt know his Xitter password.

I have an idea. Let's stick all of the world's billionaires into a submarine and see if lightning strikes twice.

Space is hard to get to, no gravity, and there's radiation.

Underwater has high pressure, corrosion, and no natural lighting.

When you get an air leak in space, you find the hole and patch it. When you get a leak underwater, you don't have to worry about it at all because it takes care of things in microseconds.
