Umm, correct me if this seems like a bad take…but is there a need for a new console generation considering the overlap of the xbone/ps4 with this gen? Only the Nintendo Switch is in dire need of a hardware upgrade, especially with handheld gaming computers like Steam Deck offering much needed competition.

Of course, I’m all about non invasive spy wear! If you get one, just remember to temper your expectations! It will get there….eventually <3

Hopefully you will have fun! It isn’t too much trouble to set up, and it has some pretty cool apps!

So Pine 64 has a PineTime watch that is pretty nifty if people want sans spying techwear. Very basic and very alpha/beta mode…but it gets better every so often! More people use it or know about it, the more development it gets!

So Microsoft is one of the most valuable companies in the entire world. They have a stranglehold on corporate America, power a huge the cloud infrastructure, hold one of the largest sources of telemetry/user data, and are the defacto standard of PC environments worldwide.

Why in the fuck do they need to pivot to ads? I’m genuinely curious. Even if they lost 50% of their entire business they would still be one of the most profitable companies in the world.

I feel like this is ripe for abuse. I’m sure insurance companies purchase this data to screw their customers in some wicked way

Not surprising. Proton seems to be exploiting the niche of “privacy” . I haven’t seen anything to the contrary other than turning over metadata due to court order.

A lot of it has to do with Texas having the Gulf of Mexico ports all along the coast. It’s a big reason petrochemical refining is so big in Texas. Another plus for Texas is it’s abundance of land they can either buy or imminent domain. Now don’t get me wrong I’m not a Texas supporter, but it’s just one of those location based decisions I’m sure.

Not to mention if your a business in Texas you usually only get slaps on the wrist when you poison the environment. Worker safety? Mostly dependent on company policy with the main focus just barely making OSHA compliance. If the fine is cheaper than compliance, a lot of companies just pay the fine if it happens.

I actually use funkwhale now for music. It’s really decent so far. A little buggy though, but it should iron out

Hopefully it gets sorted out soon. I wish if I HAD to pay money for youtube I could do it in a way thats data respecting.

Guess I need to fish my RPi out of the drawer

I set myself up for that one haha

That’s great and all, but I have discovered Peertube and I like that better. I’d rather donate to my instance than let those rat bastards siphon my data and expose me to ads. If they think I’m paying for shit they can go fuck themselves

I am so glad that all my flights on Boeing aircraft was in my childhood. Thankfully AirBus hasn’t fallen out of the fucking sky :\

Does everything have to be a hustle? Fuck

The biggest barrier to consumer renewable energy is price (and it has gone down considerably already.) Big projects ensures more development, which can lead to even lower prices.

With the state of the US power grid, we need more big renewable projects everywhere. Better subsidies on home renewables to take stress off the grid. The sooner the better !

Not only am I really glad to not be on tumblr, but this further shows I shouldn’t use wordpress for my website even though there is an opensource version

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t university all about the human connection in addition to the knowledge? Why else would we spend our tax dollars as well as tuition. AI seems antithetical to the university/college environment.

It seems like they would have been better off making subways not gonna lie.

Everyone should ask themselves what is their actual threat model. That will tell you whether not this news truly affects you. Any criminal worth their salt probably wouldn’t roll with Proton or Tuta if they practice good OpSec
