  While the apps are still in store, there doesn’t seem to be any website except for an indiegogo, and the Techcrunch article is from '17.

  Just kill the riotseeker, for fucks sake

  It’s twitter for the right, Lemmy for the left, bluesky for the libertarians and Linux users have joined either us, or gone back to trust bulletin boards

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK needs cyber security professionals, but won't pay up⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The US does pay significantly higher, but with enormous costs. My senior full stack engineer position would be about 60k/year at the government, which is a significant income to Dutch standaards.

  My monthly costs are around 1400 per month, the rest used for savings and fun.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨SpacebarChat - a selfhosted, Discord-compatible communication platform⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a convenience over privacy thing. If the api is discord compatible you lose the e2e on that channel / server, or make the api e2e but then existing bots need modifying

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Project Analyzing Human Language Usage Shuts Down Because ‘Generative AI Has Polluted the Data’⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Imagine being an author whose sole income is writing books.

  Here comes an AI that stole your work and is asked by a customer of OpenAI to summarise your books. It does so perfectly and the issuer is able to use your results freely, since they think it’s AI generated and doesn’t require attribution.

  You receive nothing in return.

  Good luck making a living.

  Hey, they gave some people an Uber Eats coupon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If "Master/Slave" terminology in computing sounds bad now, why not change it to "Dom/Sub"?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A place I used to work at had that… The corp had rolled out a non-delete policy with something akin to *master, so when someone made a `abrv_master’ branch it got protected and couldn’t be deleted anymore.

  Side note that this graph is already 10 years old. It might be a trend…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This coffee shop uses AI to measure the productivity of their employees and the time spent in the shop per customer. Welcome to capitalist innovation.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This is just the machine learning-powered pattern recognition we’ve had for at least a decade now.

  AI has become an umbrella term, but this isn’t new tech.

  Oh wow, I have 5G on my phone and it served its purpose when the cables were being repaired (which took a few months), but I’m not pulling 1000/1000 mbit with latencies of under 6 ms from the air, and it only costs like 35 eur / month
