- Comment on Stop calling them tech companies: GenAI and SaaS — are they really tech? It’s time to call a spade a spade. 2 days ago:
They’re shovels not spades though. They shovel shit.
- Comment on The fediverse has a bullying problem 6 days ago:
This guy is being reasonable, get the pitchforks!
- Comment on The fediverse has a bullying problem 6 days ago:
Nothing is private on the fediverse, and Mastodon’s bodge only gives the illusion of privacy. There should be zero expectation that any fediverse software will follow their non-standard extensions.
- Comment on Papers strewn on Newcastle street feared to be sensitive army documents 6 days ago:
Trust the MOD to be old fashioned, even when shit gets leaked.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
That doesn’t solve the last mile problem, or transport for all the people who live outside of a few dense cities.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
That’s what happens when you have a reasonable sensor suite with LIDAR, instead of trying to rely entirely on cameras like Tesla does.

Loving the fact that !buyantarctican@feddit.cl exists 😄
- Comment on Pixelfed leaks private posts from other Fediverse instances - fiona fokus 1 week ago:
It demonstrates that nothing on the fediverse is private, and bad hacks that pretend otherwise are a terrible idea.
- Comment on Pixelfed leaks private posts from other Fediverse instances - fiona fokus 1 week ago:
There’s easily over a thousand fediverse instances at this point, having to whitelist them all would be impractical.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 week ago:
Some forum software is starting to support activitypub with plugins. If they add the plugin then you can follow and interact with the forum from Lemmy. The best option for everyone is to start pestering forum admins to add those plugins so they get users and Lemmy gets more content.
- Comment on Italy demands Google poison DNS under strict Piracy Shield law 1 week ago:
Now seems a good time to point out there is an alternative DNS root that isn’t censored opennic.org
- Comment on FOSS infrastructure is under attack by AI companies 2 weeks ago:
If an AI is detecting bugs, the least it could do is file a pull request, these things are supposed to be master coders right? 🙃

Use the “manifold” engine, it’s far, far, faster.

Most receivers already use GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and beidou.
- Comment on How do I clean cat vomit out of birkenstocks? 4 weeks ago:
For (genuine) leather, saddle soap or Renapur leather cleaner is probably your best option.
For non-animal-based materials an enzyme cleaner.
Worst case scenario, dye them black.
- Comment on Is using MicroSD cards a good way to store data that you can destroy quickly incase an adversary is about to seize control of it? 4 weeks ago:
No, but you can smuggle them by eating them.
- Comment on Suppose you were a dissident facing political persecution, how would you preserve your personal files so that you can retrieve it many years later, in case of imprisonment? 4 weeks ago:
If you upload it to a public website they will still archive it for you as part of that website I think.

- Comment on Judge rejects Musk's attempt to block OpenAI's for-profit transition 4 weeks ago:
I know Musk’s motives are entirely selfish here, but anything that messes with "open"AI is good.

If they keep being rotated they wear out easily.

- Comment on YSK about Jury Nullification, if you're an American and you don't, look it up. 5 weeks ago:
The irony is, despite there being a plaque celebrating it in the old bailey, people have been arrested for holding signs directly quoting that plaque.
- Comment on France is about to pass the worst surveillance law in the EU. 5 weeks ago:
It feels like the UK and France are in a competition to see who can steamroller their peoples’ rights the fastest.
- Comment on Electronic devices or 'signal jammers' used in car thefts to be banned 5 weeks ago:
And nothing will be done about cars being sold with faulty security. We had methods of preventing these attacks in the last millennium.
