  • will require identification and photo validation

    Straight from the book "How to kill your app before launch", page 1.

    data privacy at its core

    Looks like they haven't seen the obvious conflict with requiring id + photo, unless they plan on manually review every application.

    After reading the article, it sounds like they're just making yet another xitter clone with the hopes that govt figures will use it. Govts could just spin their own mastodon or similars for a similar effect.

  • Stupid name, vv, or vave would've been better. Besides, it's not like they'll register v.v as a domain, or even www.w.vv

  • Racionais MC and Marcelo D2 for PTBR rap, with the latter being more "hip hop with samba"

  • wish meta had torrented all the viruses, too, would be fun to read the news of "facebook and instagram are offline as meta suffers from cyberattack"

  • Huh, I'm slightly older than your dad. As for "how is a 36-year-old supposed to act?" - that depends a lot from person to person. I'm a fucking hermit who works with IT and hates corporate social media. A friend of mine from high school is still one that goes to bars and parties with his wife for both to drink, eat and listen to live music, both also often post to instagram.

  • Related: Gertrude Bell, mountain climber, archaeologist and overall badass british lady that helped shape the middle east post WW1. Despite being a woman, she managed to earn the respect of several nomad arab tribes, you know, those that see women as a man's property? Those. To the point that, when she died, they all came to her burial and ensured she was treated like a queen.

  • AI boom could falter without wider adoption, Microsoft chief Satya Nadella warns

    Jump

  • Pictured: Nadella holding in his hands all the profit M$ can make in the next 30 years even if AI booms like he really really really wants it to.

    artificial intelligence (AI) risks becoming a speculative bubble unless its use spreads beyond big tech companies and wealthy economies.

    Oh, you mean there is a risk it becomes the thing it already is? Boy, imagine that!

    The really funny thing is how he says that "the benefits need to spread outside the tech sector". Golly gee, I wonder why other sectors haven't benefited yet! Could it be that it's not worth the hype and it does not improve anything that typical computer systems are already working on, like managing electrical grids, keeping track of shipments, avionics, etc? Nah, it's all the doomers' fault

  • TL;DR: cloud or not, maintain your agency.

    Even that is getting harder, thanks to google and micro$hit doing everything they can to lock down their respective OSs. Linux on a desktop, yadda yadda, but we're ~12 years into the smartphone era and we still don't fully own those electronic pieces of shit. Only a limited number of models can receive custom roms.

  • If you could go back in time, what is the one thing you would change about computers or the internet?

    Jump

  • Hmmm, I got a few ideas, not necessarily to make a "better now".

    One is for Unix's initial development to only begin in the mid 1980s, instead of the 1970s, which would hopefully result in some of its more obnoxious "features" not existing. rm -rf / - No asking for confirmation, because that will certainly not have any undesired consequences! The main downside is that we wouldn't have the Unix-Haters Handbook

    Another is making RISC style CPUs the default for desktop computers, whether the originals by Acorn or even with Intel deciding to make their own ARM x86 series all the way back in the 80s. I'd pick this one.
