  • It's the right of every country to join military alliances as they want. And some promise back in the early 90s is totally nothing binding that is valid when one country is actively attacking its neighbors. Every neighbor state will then try to get into an alliance against such aggression.

  • No, it isn't. Yes, you might think that this is a phase going away soon, but if your company is mandating you to use AI, just do it or search for another job.

  • An agent installing that should not use that much power or water. The issue here is that you do not want an agent running on your system being able to install stuff from the internet

  • Linux didn't just eat 10% of Windows market share, AI bots are inflating the numbers

    Jump

  • Now imagine a family that doesn’t have a tech guy like you. You think they would ever be able to install any OS, let alone Linux?

    That's the thing: Many families have a tech guy. The son who knows computers. The neighbor. The dude from work. And yes, if you are able to read, you can install a Linux. It's not that complicated and there are a lot of really good instructions online.

  • The numbers kind of add up:

    • Statcounter gives you 10%
    • Cloudflare gives you 5.7% "Likely human" and 8.9% total
    • Steam Hardware Survey shows 4% Linux

    So even if it is not 10%, it looks like a solid 5% might be possible.

  • It Wasn’t a ‘Civil War.’ It Was the Slaveholders’ Rebellion.

  • You also have the whole Iraqi insurgency as a background. People who went into the middle east to fight against an insurrection and who were told that those insurgents were the bad guys really do not like being called insurgents themselves.

  • U.S. FCC approves giant space mirror to deliver 'sunlight on demand,' but what are the legal implications?

    Jump

  • It's totally fucked up that one country can approve of a thing that is affecting all other countries. That is stupid and fuck the USA for polluting the sky for all of humanity.

  • This totally is military tech. The states use case does not make any sense. But if you think about the military uses: You could light up the night in Gaza or Fallujah, making for easier observation of insurgents. Make the sky blink over russian refineries, confusing air defense. Spot sea drones in front of your ports. Eternal sunshine around US military bases and on the Ukrainian front.

  • Should you still buy your next smartphone — or subscribe to it instead? Apple, Samsung … are betting that leasing, subscriptions, and guaranteed buyback programs can make upgrading more attractive.

  • Biggest issue is software support. You really do not want to run your banking app on an older, unpatched Android version

  • Google News is just Forrest Gump's shrimp boat now

  • Remember Jenny was a whore

    No, she wasn't

  • Statcounter is now showing 10% Linux market share on desktops in North America

    Jump

  • You can filter the cloudflare data for "likely automated" and "likely human" and that gives you ~6% Linux in the last 4 weeks. Cloudflares main business is bot and DDOS protection on a global scale, so their numbers will be the best you can get:

  • Let's be honest here: A smartphone costs the same to develop, produce and so on, regardless of if you simply buy it or rent it. The companies need their profit, so they will not start renting you a phone when it is more profitable to sell it to you. It should make you suspicious that they want you to rent, because that kind of tells you that they will make more profit from renting than selling. That means that you will pay more for your phone in the long run without owning it.

  • In 2020. So way, way too late.

  • Reddit never was the same after the whole API/Mod fiasco. Many subreddits simpy died. Old users that made the site what it is left and there were new ones, but the whole vibe shifted.

  • I guess that they are implementing crappy cameras? Not sure about american plates, but in most jurisdictions licence plates are optimized for easy OCR:

    Note how each letter is unique and can't be transformed with a sharpie into another. That also makes OCR easy. If you use a crappy dashcam, you will get problems regardless. Esp. in low light situations at higher speeds.

    So I would guess that Flock uses cheap sensors and cheap lenses. Which kind of makes sense when they are putting out thousands of scanners.

  • There are a lot of threads here about this. Feddit.org wants to keep in line with local laws in their jurisdiction, dbzero thinks that this is a pro-zionist stand and genocide-denial.

  • There really is a place for closed forums of enthusiasts where not everybody can get access and where you can talk without being indexed by Google, fed into LLMs and analyzed by Palantir. There is a place for an open discussion on a public square, a place for a chat among mates in a pub and a scientific conference where people can speak freely about their research without fucking Elon Musk leading an army of trolls into the audience

  • We really do need a way to send companies to prison. If you behave like that as an individual, you are getting jailed. We obviously can't jail a company, but simply slapping some fine on them for criminal behaviour while their henchmen might get prison time is not the best way forward. So we might need something like "if your company is doing crimes, it gets disbanded" or so.
