I’m gonna die telling fascists to eat a bag of dicks as they try to arrest me for talking shit about Israel on my own Lemmy instance. That’s the country these fascists are shaping for us. An AI-driven hellscape.

- Comment on T-Mobile secretly records iPhone screens and claims it's being helpful. 6 days ago:
Tons of corporate software out there will record user sessions in order to debug issues and replay a user’s interactions so an engineer can review it. Take a look at tools like Hotjar, Logrocket, and Fullstory.
Not making excuses for them and it’s probably less insidious than this makes it out to be, but people should be aware that this is not uncommon at all.
- Comment on SignalFire: startups and Big Tech firms cut hiring of recent graduates by 11% and 25% respectively in 2024 vs. 2023, as AI can handle routine, low-risk tasks 6 days ago:
Can’t eventually have senior engineers without giving junior engineers a chance, so good luck with that. I’ve got nearly 2 decades under my belt and I’m ready to leave.

I refreshed and hacked my 3ds XL recently and have been playing a ton of classics. A few:

- Shinobi
- Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX
- New Super Mario Bros 2
Getting Pretendo setup has been fun. I can play MK7 online again and there’s always people playing!

I’ve watched a few random ones over the years. No idea who he is.

I oversold it in my original comment, but it still performs better than using regular cameras like Tesla did. It performs better in weather and other scenarios than standard cameras. Elon is dumb though and doesn’t think LiDAR is needed for self-driving.

The worst part is that this problem has already been solved by using LIDAR. Vegas had fully self-driving cars that I saw perform flawlessly, because they were manufactured by a company that doesn’t skimp on tech and rip people off.

At least we got some wild videos out of that I guess? Peak internet days.

I have a Rove camera I got a few years ago. I want to get a second one for the back (I guess they sell a dual kit now).
- Comment on In a Boon for Tesla, Feds Weaken Rules for Reporting on Self-Driving 5 weeks ago:
All I can say is invest in 4k vehicle cameras. Get one facing one and one facing the rear. CYA for when these self-driving Teslas start crashing into everything.
- Comment on OpenAI wants to buy Chrome and make it an “AI-first” experience 5 weeks ago:
OpenAI is like a zombie stumbling around trying to infect everything. We shove it away because it’s fuckin’ gross and we want nothing to do with it, while the bosses that reanimated it are like “well fuck, we made this thing, we have to use it for something.”

It made me mad too which is why I quit and moved on.

I used to work for a company that made most of its money from shitty ad pages you get if you type a url wrong and you’d be shocked to see their monthly Google revenue. It’s in the millions.

Yeah, my dad was a carpenter and always picked a van over a truck any day.

They sell 2 types of covers for the back that solve this. It really depends on what you’re doing. People that are camping or constantly working on projects need that kind of open setup.

Yeah, this was part of that. Companies should open source their server software for these games when they hit EOL, but they rarely do.
