  • Shifting left, Democrats see universal healthcare, taxing the rich as 'essential', Reuters/Ipsos poll finds

    Jump

  • Until they actually have to make something that works, then it’s just watered down garbage that caters to companies.

  • Block lemmy.ml if lemmy feels tirening.

    Jump

  • Difference is people in the US are generally not defending negative US history or actions, whereas .ml/hex never admit to Russian or Chinese issues and their entire argument is “No, u suck, imperialist west” and inject it everywhere unsolicited.

    E: ah, here comes the brigade.

  • xkcd #3281: Antiques Roadshow

    Jump

  • Which only makes sense if you view it as “nobody wants to change.”

    We just “Star Wars’d” it. The first episode is episode 3, but it’s not the first in the storyline.

  • Texas slams on the brakes for 1,800 data centers, power grid requirements are 5 times higher than peak record demand — 474 gigawatts of power requests are now subject to new moratorium

    Jump

  • 1,800? Who the F needs that many?

  • Well, I tried.

    Jump

  • We already pay for that parking with the taxes that paid for the paving of the roads. This is double-dipping. They aren’t “losing” anything.

  • Well, I tried.

    Jump

  • More rent seeking. Some company convinced cities that pay for parking would make the city money…with a nice cut for the company.

    Edit: the parking is already paid for because taxes paid to pave the roads where the parking is. Paid parking is an additional tax with a corporate middleman skimming off the top.

  • Why do they always do this

    Jump

  • And it was the painter’s job to make them look reasonably good…so whatever he looked like in reality was probably worse.

  • SpaceX won’t remove all of xAI’s unpermitted turbines for another year

    Jump

  • And this is why they get rid of oversight. A Simple inspection of the plans or work to be done would have showed these turbines before they were ever built.

    I doubt they’ll be removed.

  • Awareness is half the battle!

    Jump

  • A lot of the icons look interesting in a weird way. Allah.exe, a file folder that looks like it might say “Bloody Europeans” or something, Pakistan Zindabad (Long Live Pakistan), and oddly it’s all in English instead of Urdu or something.

  • xkcd #3279: Main Span

    Jump

  • Does that mass include the containment and support structure for the balloon itself?

  • Sweeping cyberattack on water systems in multiple states has US officials on edge

    Jump

  • A lot of our critical infrastructure is connected. From power generation to water to sewer. All have been subject to hacking attempts, some successful.

    I have also been saying for quite a long time that these things should not be connected in a way that they can be damaged or disabled by internet.

    But y’know, put it all on the web and write controller software for centralized remote operation and monitoring so you can fire people and run the system with less people for more profit.

  • BMW Is Showing Commercials On Their Car's Dash Screens And They Want You To Think It's A Treat

    Jump

  • What an awful “premium” brand. They’re the same ones trying for subscription access to heated seats, remote start, or driver assistance features among others.

    What a crap brand.

  • DEF CON bans Meta-style 'pervert glasses'

    Jump

  • If they were only just that, AR.

    Instead they’re “record everyone around you without their consent and post the footage online without their consent to be commented on and shared by others” glasses.

  • AI labs buy, scan, shred millions of rare books

    Jump

  • Because when you destroy the publicly available source you become the only available source. Paid, of course.

    The final nail in the coffin for humanity, locking knowledge behind digital sources that are inaccessible in event of catastrophe.

  • WSJ: Trump Admin To End Medicare Drug Subsidies

    Jump

  • All those old folks and Medicare red state disabled MAGAs that voted for trump because scary darker-skinned people and all America needs is a good curb-stomping gestapo to put all those uppity commie starbucks-drinking protesters in their place are now going to reap the benefits of their vote yet again…with higher drug prices.

  • Kentucky Gov Orders McConnell to Give a Real Update or Resign Already

    Jump

  • Call for the special election anyway.

    If he’s alive he’s gotta say something to stop it.

  • Michigan residents sue AI data center emitting noise 24/7 — company fined for industrial noise ordinance violations, offers to buy homes from residents

    Jump

  • I’m sure at a fair price.

  • Schools across America are quietly admitting that screens in classrooms made students worse off and are reversing years of tech-first policies

    Jump

  • TL;DR: it’s not the screens or tech’s fault. It’s the overall pressure to lower standards and people that for whatever reason can't work with tech.

    After seeing my kids go through school I’d say the chief issues with performance are external. Tech and screens are like any tool, they’re only as good as the user.

    Parents and society place less importance on education and critical thinking, in fact they often insult it. Parents teach their kids that they’re not responsible for their failings, it’s the teacher’s or the school’s fault. Parent’s don’t have the knowledge to help with the tech, nor will they police the kid’s use of the tech, either because they dgaf or can’t understand it. Teaching standards keep moving the goalposts to help the least common denominator. Teachers also aren’t allowed to teach in a way, there’s always some “do-gooder” latest study that’s supposed to teach kids better, but it’s bullshit management worried more about studies and metrics than just teaching. Teachers spend more time jumping through hoops than teaching.

  • Don't Contribute Anything Relevant in Web Forums Like Reddit

    Jump

  • After a decade of reddit and over a half million karma I quit for multiple reasons. Primarily the cash grab for the API and forcing the reddit app, but also the explicit acknowledgement that the mods and community were absolutely being exploited for unpaid labor and anyone who didn’t bend a knee could get fucked.
