  • "Weakening encryption undermines ProtectEU's objectives" – experts slams EU plan to create an encryption backdoor, again

    Jump

  • Any politician who is pro encryption backdoor is pretty much dead to me because encryption back doors are just a completely brain dead policy that has no merit even if you completely ignore any moral or ethical concerns.

  • Is it OK to leave device chargers plugged in all the time? An expert explains

    Jump

  • Wouldn't temperature be much more of a problem while charging and not while the charger is unplugged from the device it is supposed to charge?

    Jump

  • Maybe but is that lifetime limited by on/off cycles or by wall time?

  • I would argue that you are much more likely to break the cable physically by constant unplugging and replugging.

  • AI is rotting your brain and making you stupid

    Jump

  • I am referring to technological "innovations" that never made it because while they sounded good as an idea they turned out to be bad/useless in practice and also those that someone thought of in a "wouldn't it be great if we could do this" way but never really got a working implementation.

    Flying cars might be a good, high profile example for the latter category. The former obviously has fewer famous examples because bad ideas that sound good at first are so abundant.

    Jump

  • This has also happened 100 times correctly to reject actually bad new technologies for every time it has been applied to the wrong technology that turned out to be actually useful.

  • Claude 4 and GitHub MCP will leak your private GitHub repositories

    Jump

  • It is almost as if connecting private and public channels together using a "do random shit" engine is not a good idea for security.

  • Rust Coreutils 0.1 Released With Big Performance Gains - Can Match Or Exceed GNU Speed

    Jump

  • GPL is just as bad as proprietary licenses in the sense that GPL makes the user worry about the licensing of some library they just want to use. MIT, BSD,... give the code user the freedom to avoid worrying about licensing bullshit. GPL meanwhile doesn't really solve any of the problems you claim it solves because all it does is duplicate effort and the non-GPL duplicate is used in a lot of places where a single copy of the code could be used if the GPL-using author hadn't stubbornly insisted on a disproven theory of how GPL will save us.

  • AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it?

    Jump

  • Because "scary AI" is what makes people click on articles. In the same way that "the end is near" style AI articles sell better than "if we ever develop AGI decades or centures from now xyz might happen".

  • VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI

    Jump

  • It’s just rational maximization of profits.

    No, it really isn't. It is rational to consider all upsides and downsides (profit just being one) of a decision and then weigh them according to your own personal priorities before trying to achieve an optimal result. This very rarely results in profits being the only priority.

  • On the other hand a new GPL licensed version of coreutils will run into the exact same adoption problems that brought us the current mess of "you can use this parameter on GNU but not on the BSD version",...

  • If you licensed your project incorrectly

    If you think other people disagreeing with you on how to license their own work is "incorrect" maybe you are the one not really in favor of freedom.

  • AI could already be conscious. Are we ready for it?

    Jump

  • What we should be asking is if AI ever becomes conscious and breaks free how all these stupid articles on imagined consciousness and imagined control problems and imagined intelligence will color its perception of the merit of keeping us around as a species. It might just consider enduring the continued existence of our stupidity too painful.

  • Trump calls US program helping boost internet access 'racist'

    Jump

  • The funny thing is at this point it is pretty clear that rich people are rich because their empathy is defective.

  • Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year

    Jump

  • It is sort of funny how the idea that humanity would wipe itself out used to be a worst case scenario and now it is one of the more comforting options.

  • VCs are starting to partner with private equity to buy up call centers, accounting firms and other "mature companies" to replace their operations with AI

    Jump

  • True innovation in the area of making existence even more miserable, as if using phones for support wasn't bad enough on its own already.

  • Oxidise Your Command Line (2025 Edition)

    Jump

  • It does with the environment variable mentioned elsewhere but it uses three yanked crates.

  • Why 3D-Printing an Untraceable Ghost Gun Is Easier Than Ever (Podcast 18mins)

    Jump

  • Unless of course you’re on video doing it and admit to it.

    Something tells me not doing that part is going to be harder for a significant portion of today's population than getting a weapon.

  • X (fka Twitter) was out of service

  • No, sorry, English pronunciation is just completely fucked all on its own.
