  I’ve seen the video of him WAVING

  try “waving” like that in Germany and see where that gets you

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tech Workers Can Still Fight Silicon Valley’s Overlords⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A strike is a refusal to commit labour to the company.

  …except you don’t do it individually, you should do it collectivelly, else it won’t make any lasting difference and will probably get you fired

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨France's biggest game industry union puts together a 'Grève Bundle' to support striking workers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  North America is a continent whith countries such as Canada or Mexico (for now).

  Central America and South America exists too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google has dropped its promise not to use AI for weapons. It’s part of a troubling trend.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  not OP, but I guess that he meant guerrilla warfare

  immediately fled to Russia with troves of American secrets

  Russia wasn’t his final destiny. He was en route to somewhere else when his passport was revoked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Developer creates endless Wikipedia feed to fight algorithm addiction⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m imagining one of those that feeds you random TVTropes instead

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Internet enshittification marches on, here are some of the worst offenders⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t get it, why you’re being downvoted for saying something true? Ars was much better years ago

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Internet enshittification marches on, here are some of the worst offenders⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ars itself has become pretty enshittified. It doesn’t hold a candle when compared to itself 10 years ago. Also, they mentioned Doctorow several times but apparently they couldn’t be arsed to put even a single link to his blog… why?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google removes pledge to not use AI for weapons from website | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A thing I want to point out about publicly traded companies is that they are legally required to maximize shareholder profit.

  that’s not actually true, friend (unless the law changed, the article linked is a little old)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder how could Musk

  he’s not a Tesla founder, he only bought it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kaspersky is shutting down its business in the United States⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think most countries spy on their citizens

  we should not be okay with that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It’s never been easier for the cops to break into your phone⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the man has rarely been proven wrong in anything tech related he has said

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Presumably because they haven’t invested in AI.

  Presumably is carrying all the weight of your whole post here

  Perhaps we could get a non-biased opinion and also from an actual expert rather than some finance ghoul who really doesn’t know anything?

  I also hate banks, but usually those guys can sniff out market failures way ahead of the rest of us. All their bacon rides on that, after all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Intel failing to Nvidia and AMD?⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They did an attempt at VR

  but it was a me-too attempt, almost a copycat of existing hardware… hardly innovative

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google and Microsoft consume more power than some countries⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you think using energy is bad by itself?

  Building infrastructure has an environmental cost. Even if they’re building them for themselves, wasting the energy produced on AI and some other bullshit will worse our climate catastrophe while delivering nothing useful in exchange

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unofficial Reddit API⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Decentralization is, by definition, censorship-resistant, just hop to another instance.

  or roll your own instance, with blackjack and hookers

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Disinformation From a Russian AI Spam Farm Ended up on Top of Google Search Results⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  maybe because most people lurking around here knows it’s trivial to bypass wired’s paywall

  👀

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft bans China-based employees from using Android devices for work, mandates switch to iPhones⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  sorry if the data I brought disturbed your China bashing, you’re free to ignore it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft bans China-based employees from using Android devices for work, mandates switch to iPhones⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Workers don’t have too many rights.

  Maybe not stellar but still better than quite a few of the 135 countries surveyed by this NGO in 2022. Behind Brazil, Russia and South Africa but ahead of India. Better than the so-called “land of the free” also, so maybe the joke’s on them?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Affinity’s Adobe-rivaling creative suite is now free for six months⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  we all need a little swap here and there, right

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's AI-powered search summaries use 10x more energy than a standard Google search | The Hidden Environmental Impact of AI⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Crypto has been hitting all time highs this year; there’s just more bros than before.

  There is a sucker born every minute

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amid a decline in democratic standards, the Serbian government uses large-scale installation of surveillance systems with facial recognition technology to monitor opponents, activists and journalists⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  isn’t it funny how double standards work?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Brain-in-a-jar' biocomputers can now learn to control robots⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are about 90 billion neurons on a human brain. From the article:

  …researchers grew about 800,000 brain cells onto a chip, put it into a simulated environment

  that is far less than I believe would be necessary for anything intelligent emerge from the experiment

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shopping app Temu is “dangerous malware,” spying on your texts, lawsuit claims⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s still my opinion that Google and Facebook have a large percentage of engineers that personally try to make them a genuinely good service

  Most of those people were sacked long ago. Today’s menu for those that remained is shareholder maximum value extraction sausage fest

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cognify: Revolutionary Prison Concept Uses AI and Brain Implants to Fast-Track Criminal Rehabilitation⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is satire, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mac users served info-stealer malware through Google ads | Full-service Poseidon info stealer pushed by "advertiser identity verified by Google."⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Google Ads takes no responsibility for any damage that may result from these oversights

  …and there it is, the root of the problem. If this kind of thing did any damage to Google’s bottom line, I doubt it would happen frequently

  Not like people would give a fuck about slashdot otherwise

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:
