Ill never do it in public but by myself speaker phone calls are amazing. Being able to take notes or look up stuff with both hands is a game changer.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck google

Before anyone jumps on this guy’s bandwagon cuz its fuck musk sentiment, look at his proposal from a net neutrality perspective. The chairman who opposed passing 2017’s title II net neutrality legislation is proposing more crack downs on everyone’s access to alternate ISP options.

THE FCC HAS AMD ALWAYS WILL BE IN THE POCKET OF THE MAJOR INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDERS WHOSE MAIN GOAL IS TO BOTTLENECK EVERYONE INTO ONLY HAVING ACCESS TO THE INTERNET THROUGH ONE PROVIDER FOR AN AREA SO THEY CAN IMPLEMENT POLICIES LIKE BADWIDTH THROTTLING, CENSORSHIP AND ELIMINATING PIRATING CHANNELS. The only defense we have against losing net neutrality is by lowering their customer retention rates when customers jump to other companies. Which is only effective when there aren’t regulations limiting the number of competing providers.

There are plenty of reasons and justifications for saying fuck musk but this is not one that is worth the potential cost to your net neutrality.

Or you could just read the first paragraph of an article you are guna put the effort into expressing your opinion over. The chair of the FCC is saying if DODGE guts the FCC under the guise of reducing the operating cost to save on tax revenues then all they will be doing is reducing the country’s access to affordable high speed internet. Subsequently pushing more people to use starlink.

This took more waaaay more time to write than it took to read. Maybe instead of needing information spoon fed to you, you could save others who share this platform the hassle of being your personal chatgpt by simply skimming an article you could see yourself forming enough of an opinion to comment on.🍻

Snapchat gives you options to not give permissions to access your decice’s media, notifications, contacts, text and/or calls. It has no active background activity or network activity. It only stores content that I give it authorization for. That is not anywhere close to meeting the defined parameters to be considered spyware. It literally qualifies it as not being spyware.

Spyware will not request consent because its purpose is to access data without your knowing about it. When legitimate software includes spyware, they are only able to do so by burying the consent in the installation agreement. They dont give users options to opt out of it.

Or don’t what?

Fuck I thought from the title it was an answer to the identy of the creator of bitcoin who is often credited as being the creator of the whole cryptocurrency concept, Satoshi Nakamoto. Not a story about a douche who created another useless crypto coin.

What is signal? To me when I hear someone refer to signals they are referring to a gas station chain called signals. Which also have payment machines for credit cards that will prompt you to enter your card’s pin but you can just hit the enter button without putting in your pin in order to process the purchase as credit card payment and not as an atm card payment.

If you are referring to a different company, product or service that isnt the gas station signals, than I am absolutely delighted at this mix up and how much the two have crossed verbiage uses. 🤣🍻

I live in Ruralasfuck, USA. Most of my peer mellenials think the word “firmware” is some made up Harry Potter nerd shit. Thats coming from my generation who grew up with technology. You start going up the generation ladder from there and it doesn’t get any better. The older generations will maintain a similar void of understanding but its delivered with more homophobic or racist sentence enhancers than I normally get from my mellenial peers. Usually will sound something like, “What the fuck is firmware? More made up shit you learned from those Harry Potter f*gs you used to jerk off to?”

It could just be karma whores expanding to other platforms than reddit. Idk if it’s still a thing but there was a time on reddit where people would steal posts, repost old top posts and aquire as much karma as they can on new accounts. Then sell the username to shills so they can push their agenda without looking like an obviously belligerent shill. They might try the same approach on lemmy before realizing karma doesn’t mean shit here which is where you see them deleting their accounts.

While possible I do think it’s a stretch, I also think it would be completely inefficient to try and train any LLM by feeding it data from lemmy. I wanna say the average number of active users on lemmy at any point is around 40,000. Compared to what google says reddit’s avg daily active users which is 52,200,000 users per day, it would seem like a complete waste of resources.

Fuck me 10/10 response. Thank you that answered so many of my questions.

Maybe it’s just a coincidence that because I switched to Lemmy almost 2 years ago I started seeing more IT related news and thats why im seeing so many more articles about Nintendo shutting down as much pirated material as they can. Or is it that they only recently started this crusade? If so, do you have any more information as to why they started making this a priority in the past couple years?

I mean the statement was heavily implied to be anecdotal to my experience but I’ll add to it by also saying I haven’t met a single person who runs an emulator console using anything but raspberry pi hardware.

What are the 98 out 100 people that you know using? Mini desktops?

Not saying you are wrong or anything. I just remembered seeing Bill Gates’ name being brought up as a supporter of raising the estate tax for the richest rich people. Its not the article I remembered but didn’t feel like spending time sorting thru the search results for the most reliable source but here is a Forbes article that mentions Gates as supporting raising the estate tax:

https://www.forbes.com/sites/cartercoudriet/2019/10/15/billionaires-more-taxes-gates-buffett-bloomberg/

There is prolly more/better articles out there but all the top search results today are referencing Trump’s estate tax hike that was announced in the past day or so.

How is retropie still able to operate? Seems like 9 out of 10 people who buy a raspberry pi are using it with retropie to play retro games. Seems like something that holds that much of the emulator industry share would be targeted by Nintendo.

Subsequently, if I know someone who knows someone who has a retropie for gaming, what’s the worst case scenario that could come from Nintendo shutting down retropie’s ability to provide the means to emulate? Will it be fine as long as the OS isn’t updated any further? Just run the emulators and roms already installed on it as long as no new emulators or roms are added after the possible crack down?

Thought that was just stat quo since call of duty or madden started pumping out annual games. I never checked but I assume I can’t boot up Madden 2011 and still find servers to play on.

It does but they didnt explain. It’s the reduced impact on a person’s brain that makes it less addictive by only blocking pain receptors at periphery locations and not in the brain. Removing the feeling of being high that opiates provide and just numbs the pain.

Journavx, which has been clinically proven to be as effective as opioids in the treatment of acute post-operative pain but with a significantly more favorable side effect profile. The drug blocks pain signals that are only found in the periphery, not in the brain, without the limitations of currently available therapies.

It’s 5 one way trips. The article says the trucks run from Dallas to Houston which is about 250 miles according to google. It does mention that over 4 years it’s made 10,000 deliveries but I wasn’t sure if that meant as a company or with the self driving trucks but had a driver in the truck for the 10,000 deliveries. It only specifies that the 1,200 miles has been done without a person in the truck.

Stories like this is all informal thought about watching one of the new episodes of Black Mirror. To bend your elbow past 90 degrees or raise it above your head, please upgrade your subscription plan. Not saying anything based off the article its just a gut feeling some of these soon to be real medical advances are going to allow our already scum bag ran Healthcare system to exploit impaired patients and their dependency of a tech device.
