  • US orders travelers on Air Force One to throw away gifts, pins, and burner phones after China trip

  • I wouldn't be surprised if we fired everybody who could do that.

  • The era of 15GB free Gmail storage is ending (Update: Google responds)

    Jump

  • I would prefer they didn't do this, but I understand. Storage isn't without cost. 5 GB is a lot for email actually. It's probably intended to reduce abuse from bots. We should probably not be using free email anyway.

  • Don't be so casual about passing your phone number out. The correct response is "5 GB is plenty for email. It's probably just to reduce abuse from bots. What's the big deal?"

    'Everyone is unhappy': Meta employees describe a grim environment as the company reportedly prepares to axe roughly 8,000 workers

  • An already terrible company treats you terribly? Make the transition rough. Delete old notes, write bugs in scripts, delete admin accounts. Think about what makes your job work, what makes the work work, and figure out what the equivalent of monkey wrenching is for the digital age. Don't let the bastards get you down.

  • Bitwarden's new CEO has a Private Equity background, removed 'Inclusion' and 'Always Free' from their website -- because of course he did

    Jump

  • I could care less that he removed inclusion, if that was all it was. But it got replaced by "innovation", which coming from a guy who proudly lists his private capital ventures sounds like a dog whistle for figuring out how to fuck over customers.

    Bad portents all around.

  • Euro-rural just hits different.

    American rural is usually something like "5 pioneer families started farms along a dirt road here 100 years ago, but the market on corn bottomed out and they mostly sold their plots to housing developers or speculators, and whoever didn't move out either works at the gas station or in the city an hour and a half away to support the drug habits of the ones that couldn't find work".

  • Self-described Trump-supporting small business owner tells Fox 29 Philadelphia that he is frustrated over gas prices: "We didn't vote for that. And we want change."

    Jump

  • But you did. You did vote for this sir.

  • Reddit Starts Blocking Mobile Website, Pushing Users to App Instead

  • It's just websites. I'm not downloading your shitty app to look at your website. That's what a browser is for.

    Kevin O’Leary’s proposed 9GW "hyperscale" AI data center in Utah will consume double the state's entire electricity usage and generate the waste heat of 23 atom bombs a day.

    Jump

  • But at least when I have to write a professional sounding email I can shut off my brain and make the computer cluster do it!

  • A web page that shows you everything the browser told it without asking

  • It doesn't look AI generated. It's more likely that they wrote different text templates for different resolution ranges.

  • To them it's more trouble to actually double check or review hits then to just give people a blanket ban if they might could possibly be shoplifters.

  • Yeah someone was explaining how false positives specifically within the context of early markers of pancreatic cancer are actually not much of a concern.

  • Like if a company does not operate in the United States at all and they break a law (however poorly written) from any given state, maybe they can choose to not care, but maybe they still have to because of any number of treaties with the United States. Or because of the outsized number of us internet users. Even Italy is causing people headaches with some of their absurd internet censorship laws. It's just a problem when governments try to pass excessively broad laws about internet services.

  • Hey lookie here, the statistical pattern matching algorithm has some uses that could help society maybe possibly. Sure beats replacing artists or building inefficient chat bots that give people the Eliza effect.

  • But that doesn't fix this. If someone actually from Utah uses a non-Utah IP to access data in a manner not approved by Utah, they can be held liable. The only way to get around this is, aside from the law being struck down, is for companies out to operate outside the legal reach of the state of Utah, or to act as if everyone in the world lives in Utah. It's a really bad law.

  • Funny how even the things "AI" is okay at (pattern matching within a certain margin of error) still can't be used properly.

  • Canonical/Ubuntu have been under DDoS for more than 17 hours

    Jump

  • That was over a month ago. A lot has changed in that time. Ubuntu is not associated with the UK military or even government.

    Amazon does support the US government and other governments through the provision of their web services.

    For all its problems I don't believe Iran is an irrational actor.

  • The New York Childrens Online Safety Act will ban anyone under 18 from chatting online.

  • Except for the mandatory age verification it doesn't seem bad at all. "Except for" is doing a heavy lift there however.
