  • I'm Tired of Pretending Tech is Making the World Better

    Jump

  • Agreed, but things act differently at scale and it's not like there's 10 billion+ hammers being used at the same time, almost all of the time, for years on end

    Jump

  • Yeah I think blanket statements either way are misguided. Some tech does help the disabled, other tech makes their lives much more difficult. It's like any other tool, when it's used at scale by something aiming for optimizing profit it will have terrible side effects

  • You see, it actually did still save you time from finding a local shop that sells it and interacting with your neighbor

  • [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company

    Jump

  • Yeah, with the Vault 7 releases and recent leaks showing NSA follows homeless people's connections (who tend to hang out at libraries due to a lack of 3rd spaces), I don't doubt there's specific tracking, malware and other unwanted software at libraries. I don't have any sources of this, but it wouldn't surprise me

    Maybe I'm overly parandoid because ::gestures at everything::

  • Daily dose of tech nostalgia

  • Welp, that's enough dystopian reality for me today. I was actually hoping to have these for repairability and easier chip identification, but nope, built for prisons you say...

  • So issue here is privacy, the library is likely scanning whatever device connected, not just the files and file metadata

  • Biden to sign bill boosting Social Security payments for millions

    Jump

  • So if a government is going to print money, might as well print it for the citizens who are going to pay more in taxes. And wildly and sadly, citizens receiving social security will pay more in taxes if they have more to spend (and also get taxed on it as income, oddly enough). Modern Monetary Theory states this, giving tax breaks to corporations increases inflation further and only puts the burden on the workers

  • Right? Is better than an alarm clock though

  • Ask HN: Spending Tracking Tools

    Jump

  • I do love how security experts have been complaining for years that we're writing too much code and too many features without being skilled enough, but then AI assistants are coming in to make unskilled coders even more of script kiddies... It's not going to go over well, unless we get some way to automate pentesting and patching these projects

  • How active is Lemmy now?

    Jump

  • At least a dozen right?

  • TIL the New York Post was purchased by Rupert Murdoch in 1976 and then lost money every year until September 2022 when it became profitable, posting a profit for the quarter and year to date.

  • Wild is if you have a small business in the US, if you fail to have profits for an extended period of time, they classify the business as hobby and shut you down. Nice to see the same rule applies to large business as well!

  • OpenSnitch exists for Linux as well. There used to be a Windows FOSS version too, before 11
