  • eBay has agreed to pay nearly $50 million to couple sent cockroaches, bloody pig mask

    Jump

  • "The company said the conduct “is not representative of eBay’s culture” and said it has since changed leadership and strengthened its policies, procedures and ethics training."

    All employees are now required to attend trainings that include no sending of bloody pig masks, funeral wreaths and death threats. If the old leadership only had that mandatory training this would have never happened!

  • Flock Safety CEO speaks out after LAPD suspends use of company's surveillance cameras

    Jump

  • "Once they understand what the technology actually does -- not what it might do in 50 years, not what someone thinks it could do, but what it actually does, day in and day out, it takes a picture of a car -- most people go, 'This makes a lot of sense. I want my kids to be safe.'"

    He argues that all it does it takes pictures of license plates. And then says how it keeps children safe. 🤨

  • Good information. However, the safest fix would be to delete the OS and install literally anything else (https://hannahmontana.sourceforge.net/). But alas, due to work constraints I understand some are stuck with Windows.

  • Meta's Program That Spies on Every Employee's Computer Just Blew Up in Its Face in Spectacular Fashion

    Jump

  • “We will only re-enable MCI when we are confident in the effectiveness of our data protection controls,” Stephane Kasriel, a Meta vice president overseeing AI research, told employees Monday, according to Wired. Kasriel said the company discovered and resolved the issue last week, but that the  initial fix didn’t work.

    Temporary pause on the program. It will be back on by next week I bet. Also, at this this point, if you work for meta, it is getting harder and harder to feel bad for you.

  • Judge Rules Blacked.com Can Sue Meta for Scraping Its Porn

    Jump

  • I think the difference here lies in the fact that Meta the company was downloading it for model training. The company itself was doing something illegal. If an individual was to download copyright material, it is not the fault of the VPN provider.

    Here is a terrible analogy. It is sort of like blaming an auto company for someone running over a person. However, if an auto company was purposely designing cars that ran people over, then it is on the auto company. (I did say it was a bad analogy).

  • Judge Rules Blacked.com Can Sue Meta for Scraping Its Porn

    Jump

  • I think the best part of the article (besides the decision of course) is the following:

    “A Strike 3 Holding investigation found that 47 IP addresses belonging to Meta were used to torrent 2,396 of its videos a total of 6,008 times between 2018 and 2025.”

    If videos are being downloaded more than once, it’s hard to argue it’s just for model training. lol.

    Donald Trump's Iran war timeline changes to another 2 weeks as public anger grows

    Jump

  • "Netanyahu said Israel is continuing to operate in Lebanon against the Iranian-backed militant group Hezbollah, and that Israel "has full right to self-defense, and we will exercise it to the full extent necessary."

    Meanwhile, the Lebanese Health Ministry said an Israeli airstrike on the village of Zefta killed seven people Monday, including a Syrian child. Eight people were wounded. Another strike on the coastal city of Tyre killed five and wounded eight, some of them members of the Lebanese Red Cross, the ministry said."

    Thankfully that child and members of the Red Cross were murdered in self defense so Israel can breath easier. /s

  • Americans Have Grown Dramatically Anti-Data Center in Just Months, Survey Finds

    Jump

  • That I agree with. Local politicians are more likely to cave to pressure than the US house and Senate. I should have been more clear on my original post.

  • Wow, happy to hear that worked!

  • Americans Have Grown Dramatically Anti-Data Center in Just Months, Survey Finds

    Jump

  • I wish I knew. Don’t get me wrong, I have several times contacted both house and senators in my state. I’ve gotten one response out of probably 10 letters. I find the “contact your representative” method to be challenging when voters are up against massive amounts of bribery and a two party system that forces voters to vote either R or D.

  • Americans Have Grown Dramatically Anti-Data Center in Just Months, Survey Finds

    Jump

  • Representatives don’t give one fuck about their constituents and what they have to say. They only care about what corporation and billionaire paid them last. And given the 2 party system in the U.S., they don’t have to care about getting voted out either. If they are a Republican in a red district, they can do whatever they want and get voted back in and the same goes for the Democrats.

    The ONLY peaceful thing that will save America is getting money out of politics. Until that happens, and good luck with that, your representative will continue to wipe their ass with your concerns.

  • Good point. Population usage should be taken into account.

  • DeepSeek Permanently Reduces The Price Of Its Flagship V4 Model By 75 Percent

    Jump

  • Should be divided by the population. Unless you are exporting electricity, your production will be based on population. China has 4.2 times the population of the US so they actually produce less renewable energy per citizen than the US.

    On that same note, Finland produces 3X the renewable energy per citizen compared with the US.

  • It runs sailfish OS on the Jolla hardware. It can be compatible with android for apps (such as the google play store) but can also be independent with app stores like fdroid. It is unlikely you’ll have any issues with banking apps.

    I can’t speak personally to the camera. Typically android and iOS do a better job with perfecting the camera app over open source apps. However, sailfish did release a camera app for Jolla back in October. My guess is it won’t be as good as iOS or android; not due the hardware, but rather the app that processes the pictures/videos.

    Here are some alternative camera apps to check out and see what you think.

    Also, here is sailfishOS’s main page so you can check out more about the OS: https://sailfishos.org/

  • Students are speeding through their online degrees in weeks, alarming educators

    Jump

  • That is a good point. You are probably right that it is area based. My degrees were in physics and to my knowledge, there aren’t too many online degrees for it. It’s pretty hard to fake your knowledge in this area. Even if you could, you’ll be found out quickly once starting a job.
