Ironic considering everything they’re “overturning” is former Supreme Court rulings that granted all these rights.

omw to get all the homebrew stuff NIntendo got removed from github lol

Startup discovers what a northbridge is

commit “fixed stuff”

2.8k blob of crypto mining code

Would be hilarious

Because the vote system inherently supports popularity which creates content masking issues and usually results in communities with mods that want to keep that system.

Stack overflow has this exact same issue where stupid crap gets upvoted and useful stuff gets nuked so users don’t see things that would otherwise be important or useful.

Lemmy somewhat avoids it due to the relatively low number of posts, but that could easily change.

I don’t get why people think this idea is equivalent to stuff like internet access bans or COPPA, it’s a warning label, not an “enter your ID” to access page.

They never banned cigarettes, but putting a giant warning on the box did help in vilifying cigarettes as very unhealthy and wrong.

I doubt it’ll go anywhere in this age of government, but its exactly the type of thing I would have gone for if I were tasked with solving a societal issue. It’s smart because it has no real effect on access, so social media companies would have a harder time fighting it, but it also gives a big bloody warning which does have a substantial psychological impact on users.

iirc someone did something similar with a very simple “are you sure?” app that gave a prompt asking if you were sure you wanted to post something or send a text. Just having a single prompt was enough for many people to reconsider their stupid text or comment.

Apple pretending RCS doesn’t exist would be like Google acting like RCS isn’t a 15 year old protocol without e2e encryption

Oh wait…

Even the most casual of internet users will see the guide on how to change their DNS server bruh.

Next they’ll do DNS injection even though DoT and DNS over HTTPS is a thing.

Nintendo would be spamming ban hammer, Xbox would be full of spam, and PS would be full of Japanese posts & memes lol

its perfect.

Imagine trying to use Wireshark on windows to debug or look at some service.

Just an avalanche of packets going to 20 different domains on idle.

Turns out, the difference in the socket is just a few pins here and there, and you can make a 8th or 9th generation Coffee Lake CPU work on your Z170/270 board if you apply a few Kapton tape fixes and mod your BIOS,

Modders giving me a new reason to keep my ye olde z170 mobo instead of just making a new machine with all the nice hardware

Intuit is anything but intuitive

Dunno about Microsoft and AWS but AFAIK Google has been powering all their data centers with “renewables” for a very long time.

I’m pretty sure many of these data centers have dedicated power sources due to the high consumption, and opt for things like hydroelectric due to cost per watt.

And at least there’s a serious end product delivered, unlike crypto mining which wastes trillions of hashes to make a secure transactional network.

Google has been pretty crap for a decade now.

I still remember demoing how easily they can manipulate people by searching “Pakistan News” and the results being exclusively all Indian media outlet propaganda way back in 2016.

I really feel like they never got properly exposed for this just because it’s a search engine and not a social media, so people didn’t care enough about it. Also because Google was still top of the game in most results compared to other sites back then.

I still want to see someone slap an airplane grade INS suite into a car and load it up with some maps to see how far it can go without relying on GPS lol.

Not that it would functionally change much, but I find it annoying only self driving cars are still using dedicated navigation setups.

Google Maps has an aneurysm if you’re not going above 5mph even though the accelerometer really should have made this a non problem. Its even more dumb to be using your tiny phone receiver for vehicle navigation. GMaps still has to wait until you’re past a spot before finally deciding where you actually are.

If tiktok were a serious threat, the executive branch would have already banned it by now via an executive order.

That’s not what happend, instead a whole bill went through congress and got passed with the explanation being “foreign influence” as if American social media platforms don’t already do the same thing

This is more about removing foreign competition and not about saving democracy or ensuring security.

DoD already banned it 4 years ago for military because of the actual security threat of data collection.

Don’t worry guys, they banned TikTok so we’re gonna be fine /s

Chinese drone company, which is also supplying most of Ukraine’s drones, is not okay

But American company using Chinese parts to make their drones and sell with “made in USA” markup is fine

MIC just mad they can’t sell their crappy 50k per unit drone because a $100 one from AliExpress is doing a better job of dropping grenades and not overheating.

One one hand av1 has some great advantages and this will force some lagging OEMs to add hardware support

On the other hand snake ass google already split encoding into premium qualities, so they’re just gonna set the “free” bitrate so low it may as well be H264.

Poor dude doesn’t know google already did this themselves by killing their project teams and bringing a team of summer interns every year to decrease the cloud cost of each app.

They don’t have to worry because they already own the market on all these apps so any competitor can be bought out or is doomed to fail.

That way they can spend all their allocated budget on new ventures like Gemini.

For example Google Maps has sucked total ******* **** for a whole ass decade now, and the people who made Android Auto have a special place for them in FOSS hell.
