- Comment on Developing world needs an alternative to Chinese tech 1 year ago:
While corporate America focuses on mainly profits, “fighting for human rights” are just empty slogan, because corporate American will exploit human misery for profits. For government, it’s going to be “to prevent China from becoming the dominant tech power in the developing world” that’s going to drive this sort of initiative, which most likely will have mixed results or fail miserably altogether. Chinese exports are already driving the non-elite consumer markets in the developing worlds.
- Comment on Any strategies for guessing a passphrase that I am missing one word of? 1 year ago:
When I forgot part of my my old password, I came up with a list of words that I possibly could have come up with and tried those. I eventually found it even if I was panicky the whole time. If I were you, I would list the words and try them in the order of probabilities.
Un/Fortunately, BW is implemented to rate-limit password brute-forcing. I feel you about your CAPTCHA hell, and I hate their surreal sunflower CAPTCHA (maybe to make it as repulsive as possible to the hackers?).

Apparently, Google has also taken to suck deez nuts.
- Comment on Dell fined $6.5M after admitting it made overpriced monitors look discounted 1 year ago:
Shoppers of Dell Australia’s website who were buying a computer would see an offer for a Dell display with a lower price next to a higher price with a strikethrough line. That suggested to shoppers that the price they’d pay for the monitor if they added it to their cart now would be lower than the monitor’s usual cost. But it turns out the strikethrough prices weren’t the typical costs. Sometimes, the lower price was actually higher than what Dell Australia typically charged.
Don’t believe in ads, folks. If prices are important for you, do you own research.
- Comment on Sex in San Francisco robotaxis is running rampant, report finds: 'No boundaries' 1 year ago:
Whatever happens on the inside of a robotaxi is generally visible on the outside to bystanders and other motorists, The Standard notes of the AV’s “fishbowl-like” design.
“While [autonomous vehicles] will likely be monitored to deter passengers having sex or using drugs in them, and to prevent violence, such surveillance may be rapidly overcome, disabled or removed,” the study said. “Private [autonomous vehicles] may also be put to commercial use, as it is just a small leap to imagine Amsterdam’s Red Light District ‘on the move.’”
Convenient meetups, plus the additional benefits for certain fetishes.
But don’t worry, folks, we’ll take this opportunity to put even more surveillance tech in for you to keep you safe and meanwhile, perfectly maintain your privacy. 🤪

- Comment on Planetary defense test deflected an asteroid but unleashed a boulder swarm 1 year ago:
OK. Then. I guess the summary would be like, the asteroid was more loose than we though, and we had no idea how the boulders got ejected from the surface because our impact.
- Comment on Planetary defense test deflected an asteroid but unleashed a boulder swarm 1 year ago:
Somehow, I found the lead scientist’s statement and the associated news to be click-baiting. Right, you crash something into a composite rock, and expect no ejecta from it. That’s pretty freaking believable. That’s like, the most basic physics you can expect from it. This is just to grab your attention so we can get more funding (which they may deserve, even if this is irritating), folks.

- Comment on Police raid WorldCoin cryptocurrency warehouse in Nairobi 1 year ago:
Worldcoin, founded by US tech entrepreneur Sam Altman, offers free crypto tokens to people who agree to have their eyeballs scanned.
It claims to be creating a new global “identity and financial network”.
Altman, who founded Open AI, which built chat bot ChatGPT, says he hopes the initiative will help confirm if someone is a human or a robot. He also says this could lead to everyone being paid a universal basic income but it is not clear how.
Sure, bud, hand over our biometrics for your private fiat money, for the promise of unclear-how basic income, meanwhile with your exploiting the poors and manipulating the laws to favor yourself.

- Comment on [Wired] This Disinformation Is Just for You; Generative AI Makes Disinformation More Targeted and Effective 1 year ago:
Yeah, I would agree that people who don’t fact-check what they see on the media, especially social media, are more susceptible to misinformation and manipulation. Unfortunately, I think the number of people that don’t have the skills, or the inclination, is vast given Mobile reachability.
