I hope this isn't a "Net Neutrality, oh and we'll also spy on you for the good of humanity" bill
The fact that this guy is going to jail by January but Trump isn't even close, means something is very wrong with our justice system.
Price of WD red HDD's about to go up too
The Pixel 2, which is 5 (almost 6!) years old, had better transfer speeds than this brand new $799 phone.
It's not even close, it's the Pixel 2 with 1.5Gbps vs the iPhone with ~0.5Gbps.
Apple's software is good but they are an absolute trash company that routinely screws their blind customers.
I'd bet there's a CSAM test image dataset with innocuous images that get picked up by the script. Not sure how the system works, but if it's through hashes then it would be pretty simple to add that to the script.
Let's make this simple.
Elon for example is worth 180 billion. His private jet, which costs $17k/yr to refill, is worth $62 million, or 0.03% of his net worth.
The average person, maybe lower middle class to middle class, is let's say worth about $250,000. If they bought or leased a car worth $45k, that would be 18% of their net worth.
It is probably the equivalent, or LESS than the equivalent of someone in the middle class, buying a candy bar. And they can do it over and over again with no repercussions.
And jet fuel is incredibly pollutant, and billionaires pollute millions of more times in general than the average person.
I'm fully in support of these protesters and hope they don't stop.
NewPipe, and YouTube Revanced are great apps you can use on mobile. They aren't attached to any Google account so you can just use them and skip adds all day without getting any account theoretically banned.
For those who continue to use YouTube and adblockers on PC, simply just make a new throwaway Google account. In the case that they aren't actually bluffing (they are) then at least your temp account will be banned.
Honestly, I see it as a win.
The people that did this didn't really act out in a coordinated attack. They were just kind of playing around, redirecting to lemonparty, changing page elements.
It could have been a lot worse. The site could have been redirecting to malicious websites, downloading trojans, doing a lot of bad things. Instead, we got direct attention to the security vulnerabilities in question, and they're being worked on and patched out relatively quickly. Helps that a lot of those on these communities are focused in programming and cybersecurity.
This digital privacy.
Threads for iOS
Liftoff for Lemmy
People don't understand what they're doing literally signing away their data and accepting these Terms of Service.
I don't really understand it. People left Facebook because the way they shifted the platform became less relevant to the younger audiences on it. And then it effectively died.
Now Meta (literally Facebook rebranded because of how much they fucked up) is creating threads and people just forgot what Facebook did?
Are people even thinking in the long term what's going to happen, like what's happened to reddit, Twitter and Facebook? Does nobody take a step back and take a minute to figure out what's inevitably going to happen again? It's bonkers to me.
It starts with the user base complaining about a platform going to shit, doing nothing about it in the meantime, and when a "viable" replacement pops up it's another privatized company that wholly plans to do the same exact thing that just happened to the one that's dying.
People's attention spans are 24 hours long.
They do like money, but Valve also loves providing a service to people.
Nobody uses Epic Games, Origin, Ubisoft Connect, or Battle.net because they want to, they use it because they have to.
Steam Awards is a bit janky sure, but to say that their inability to run pointless awards properly ruins the convenience and value that Steam brings to its users would be a gross overstatement.
