We are in the “telling the public what evidence they have will alert the perps” phase, only wild media speculation until the investigators are done doing their thing.
I look forward to Internet Historian doing one of his stock image gilliamation videos about this.
Plus they have a club card (because I sure as hell dont).
Exactly, there was a social contract where we would exchange watching ads for consuming the following product without additional charges. Those days are mostly gone and you have to pay to get in the door, watch and ad and the product has enshitifies to the point of usually not being worth it. Ad block and cable cutting has been a method to claw that back to a fairer exchangr, or atleast give the consumer some negotiation power in that dynamic. However its just created a game of cat and mosue between those who wish to consume your attention and people who dont want sponsored shit beamed into their brain space.
Actually less and for a good reason, the doom scroll is not endless.
We have a fraction of the population and a few good posts and discussions on the places I have not blocked. Over all its a lot healthier and I still get my fix of feeling informed-ish. Also Jeboa does not display total votes an account gets meaning there is no “must have X karma to ride” pages that, while attempting to remove bots (it didnt), fills a room with crowd pleasers instead of those seeking discussion or answers.
Mandalore Gaming just did his review of it as well. Its fresh in a lot of peoples brain space.
Sorry, cant do metric, but we can make the unit less helpful.
Its ~137 mochies.
Emporer Kuzko is the best Disney princess.
This is 100% correct in the IT world. I have a split IT dept due to mergers (its a whole thing, people are fighting to not give up knowlage on systems so their position looks useful to mgmt… its fucked) and the other side of the fence are the most useless window-lickers ever because their tier 1 just closes things almost at random to bump their numbers up.
Plus, shit like this happens all the time. If you turn into the gate lanes for a bunch of federal buildings and your not there for a reason, they will detain you, even if it was an accident (they are very clearly marked, some have entire exit ramps to themselves). Every year or so, someone does this, panics and/or does something stupid… For the DMV, this is a just a normal Tuesday.
Brazil gets to sit at the table with Iceland on the list of countries who jailed the people responsible for almost torpedoing thier own country. (In Icelands case, it was the bankers involved in 2008s financial crisis)
When they fired all the agents who were tracking down J6 rioters, they fired all the comptent people at the department… What they hell did they expect was going to happen. Plus, now that the feds have changed how they hire and fire people, noone capable of doing that job well will be applying.
Seconding steam deck, but also need to add in the docking station. That formfactor has stolen my heart, it does mobile gaming, along with having the horse power to be a PC substitute at home.
In addition to SteamOS, but ill let others promote linux and sticking it to microsoft now that linux desktops are finally crossing the “it just works” finish line.
I mostly am refering to food quality, no matter the quisine. When ever I fly back to the US from abroad, it takes a few days for everything to stop tasting like plastic, or having something off about it.
Its quite sad…
Best Fish n’ Chips Ive had was at a small pub near the old harbor in Reyknavik, arguing with two brits about toy internet spaceships, where the fish was alive that morning.
Euro food is the best, even the simple things, its just better.
He already isnt allowed within 500 feet of Ikea…
Seconding the home lab / micro controler project. A bit of research and you can get most things (especially shitty IOT crap off amazon) to dump their firmware and let you go digging around in usually lazy code. (A friend and I took apart an automated water bowl for a cat the other day, took a few hours, but we now have the tools and know what to search for on the next time someones shitty internet enabled fish feeder dies)
The reason is that in [current year], knowing stuff is great, but knowing where to find the info you need is more important. Thats why AI is taking off like it is. Its users ask in plain text for answers to things, the resourceful people only use that as a tool to find what they need not the complete answer(Also keep good notes. So you only have to find something once).
Imposter! Thats not Mariner, her sleves are to rolled down.
I dont have a problem with that, but what I will object to is the current regime making the replament ID system. 1) there is no way they would design it well or securely, smart people capable of building such a system are usually the first to bounce to another country as they will have the means to do so. 2) it would be too easy for them to lord the new ID over peoples heads (like they are with immigration status now) and impliment a social credit score like China does.
Your correct that SSNs should not be used as IDs, but getting the government to build a modern system for that opens too many avanues for abuse (especially with darth cheeto in charge).
Yah… You dont own your OS on W11, you had better script those changes or they might be reverted on major updates. (They do that for the default browser all the time, and they will likely break that script every year or two)
This is why the [gestures broadly to Lemmy community] evangalizes for Linux so much, everyone is going have to learn a new OS anyway. Aside from what ever Apple is doing, there really are only two choices, a free and open source suite of software that is trusted because everything is public and auditable, or an OS that activly contributes to the creation of the Torment Nexus. We do get that some applications wont work on linux, but my response to that is to look for a new version anyway, your living on borrowed time. Windows 11 is rolling full speed ahead on breaking compatibility with everything Microsoft did not make (and therefore cant update to collect data on you).
