  • It’s Happened: The United States of America Is No Longer a Democracy

    Jump

  • More specifically, because they need to maintain the capitalist status quo that they sincerely believe in (it works for them!), so they believe fascism to be the lesser evil. And they think they can control fascism, just like last time.

  • Britain jumps into bed with Palantir in £1.5B defense pact

  • Sure, here is a specific response to your question: This isn't ChatGPT you fuck. And since you proudly do not care, why would I spend any more time on you than to write this comment.

  • Amazing. If you build and sell tools to commit horrible crimes against humanity, that's all cool, it's just good business actually as long as someone else is pushing the button.

    Kindergarteners have more robust ethics than this.

    Is fediverse turning into reddit?

  • Your second paragraph already answers the question therein.

  • The number is bullshit in the first place meant only to impress clueless CEOs.

  • TIL: Until the late 90s, it was illegal to export encryption software that used keys over 40 bits in size from the USA. This lead to a criminal investigations of the creator of PGP and others.

    Jump

  • Restricting import and export of "military-grade" encryption hardware is still a thing in some countries. And this reaction from boomer politicians is not too surprising if that's how it is advertised, rather than "encryption implemented by every cheap-ass smart appliance out there". Which is what RSA and ECDSA are.

  • Wikipedia is resilient because it is boring

  • I don't quite follow. You're saying she is financed by Russia?

  • Sincere question as a foreigner, is there any basis to this "Jill Stein is a Russian asset" thing other than the nature of FPTP voting resulting in the royally fucked-up US two-party system?

  • "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

    Jump

  • Yeah but they've been doing that for a long time. Other channels are meeting the market for in-depth tech content, and LTT is bigger than all of them.

  • Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for Essay Writing Task [edited post to change title and URL]

    Jump

  • I don't see how that's any indicator of cognitive decline.

    Also people had notebooks for ages. The reason they remembered phone numbers wasn't necessity, but that you had to manually dial them every time.

    YSK: Before she was the CEO of BlueSky Jay Graeber worked in cryptocurrency

  • As a software engineer? That doesn't have to convey ideology by any means. People gotta pay the bills.

  • How to Build a Powerful Reverse Proxy Firewall for Blocking the Evil Web-Scraping Robot Hordes from Hell

    Jump

  • Not sure about Tor but your fridge definitely supports mesh networks whether it wants to or not.

  • 4chan and Kiwi Farms Sue the UK Over its Age Verification Law

    Jump

  • I have no idea how precedence works in the UK. If they lose, is that a huge issue, or could a more legitimate service sue oater and realistically win if the verdict hinges on Kiwifarms being Kiwifarms?

  • rpi zero 2 w randomly won't connect to Wi-Fi. [solved]

    Jump

  • How is it configured?

    It's been years, but when the same thing happened on my pi I switched to wicd and had no more issues.

  • Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'

    Jump

  • Because, even if you do have a fully functional credit card which is not a given in many countries, US-based CC payment processors like Stripe are equally horrible third-party companies that gobble up all the data they can get their hands on somehow.

    Seriously. You cannot even start "free trials" on US-based websites without handing over everything a bad actor would need for fraud or even identity theft.

  • Microsoft's Windows lead says the next version of Windows will be "more ambient, pervasive, and multi-modal" as AI redefines the desktop interface

    Jump

  • Apparently "invasive but like, when it's a good thing".

  • YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround

  • ABP has also been owned and run by a shady investment firm for the past decade.

  • Have you ever cried because of a video game?

  • Thank you for sharing your friend's story and honoring her memory.

    This is very true. There are more than enough social and psychological barriers to getting the help you need in this situation - it's high time we get rid of at least the economic ones.

    I was fortunate enough to get to know people on both sides of this struggle, though less severe than your friend. It takes effort to build empathy, remember the person underneath as you said, make space for them where the may be needed, and - without assuming full responsibility - being there for them where possible.
