  • String it out until the midterms, then cancel them.

  • Motorola announces a partnership with GrapheneOS Foundation

    Jump

  • I just wasn't paying attention. I stopped looking at hardware specs (apart from storage and memory) some years ago when everything seemed to run well enough. I've been using second-hand Pixels for GrapheneOS and that's another reason I didn't pay attention, since they were the only option for it and I was buying old stuff anyway. I'm curious to see what Motorola and GrapheneOS come up with.

  • I haven't heard Pixel phones described as "dogshit hardware" before. Aren't they pretty much on a level with the competition?

  • How do you expect it to help though? Killing a leader without a plan has not historically tended to lead to things getting better. What do you see improving as a result of this?

  • It's rude to show AI output to people

    Jump

  • That's my boss. He isn't a programmer and I have done it professionally for 25 years, but he has taken to sending me not only feature requests but also pages of AI-generated code, and now he expects me to do the work instantly since I can just paste in what he sent me. He thinks he's being helpful. I've asked him to leave the implementation to my team but he can't help himself. I don't know how you explain it to someone so bad at reading the room.

  • OK, and the point of the thread was that it's still a good thing if they quit it now. No one can undo past mistakes but you can decide not to keep making them.

  • It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État

    Jump

  • In the USA the issuing of IDs will be made deliberately difficult enough to discourage cartain demographics in a way that favours Republicans. For example, it may carry a fee so poor people are discouraged, it may require your birth name and gender so trans people are discouraged, it will require birth certificates and marriage certificates so immigrants and women are discouraged. The whole thing will be used to erode the numbers of non-white-male voters and this disproportionately boost the right.

    Kansas Republicans just invalidated the driving licenses of trans people overnight with no warning. We can expect the same kind of political shenanigans with Real ID.

  • And those CEOs will go off with their vast piles of money to make the same mistakes again, since the message they get is that this behaviour will be rewarded.

  • Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address

    Jump

  • They didn't fuck up. They're doing it deliberately.

  • Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address

    Jump

  • I understood it to mean that wishlists currently only offer things shipped by Amazon, so they don't share your address with other sellers, but they're going to change wishlists so they offer things from third party sellers, who will need your address to ship things to you. So they're going to start sharing your address with these sellers.

  • DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

    Jump

  • If you spend a lot of time sitting next to a CD player they're still OK for now. For music on the move, not so much. And when the player breaks it will be hard to replace. So they're definitely not perfect.

  • DVDs are the new vinyl records: Why Gen Z is embracing physical media

    Jump

  • HDDs are not designed to last very long. Neither are SSDs. That's one reason to prefer dedicated physical media.

  • Those never worked well. They pick up every tiny bit of dust and scratch, far more than a stylus does. If you keep your stylus in good condition, changing it regularly, and set up your tonearm correctly, it shouldn't harm the records.
