Stand by ;)

Meanwhile there are a not insignificant number of people doing everything they can to erase the population which actually invented the technology, and therefore does understand it. It’s probably not a coincidence that those people are speaking up the loudest about misusing the tech.
- Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all 2 weeks ago:
I run it on PC through a mobile hotspot. For whatever reason lemmy seems to be the only site that regularly chugs like that for me. And yes, the fact I appear to be fucked is the point of this post, to inform anyone who cares of a rare use case which makes the site very difficult to use recently.
- Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, well, not everyone lives in an ideal situation. Fuck me, right?
- Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all 2 weeks ago:
Blocking specific words tends to have unintended consequences, blocking lots of things that haven’t even been considered.
- Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all 2 weeks ago:
I wish my Internet was fast enough to block that many communities.
- Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all 2 weeks ago:
Well, if you block one instance itself in entirety, you can still access some of the communities on other instances, so there is a fairly useful purpose there for some people.
- Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all 2 weeks ago:
It’s not just time consuming. It takes up all of the time I spend here and still doesn’t actually progress to anything better.
I’m not saying it’s hard, I’m saying it’s become impossible recently.
- Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all 2 weeks ago:
Then the only option is probably to block all the communities you dislike
…which isn’t even really possible anymore, which is the whole point of this post.
- Comment on Blocking communities doesn't work at all 2 weeks ago:
Right, except pretty much the only thing I actually like about social media is using it to explore previously undiscovered things. Sticking exclusively to a few subscribed communities has no appeal at all to me.

- Comment on Microsoft admits it 'cannot guarantee' data sovereignty 2 weeks ago:
the systems we run computing on is flawed
This is my point.
- Comment on Microsoft admits it 'cannot guarantee' data sovereignty 2 weeks ago:
It was just one example dude. The entire system we’ve built is so full of holes it’s basically impossible to safeguard data that ends up on a computer.
Hell, someone literally hacked and blew up an Iranian nuclear centrifuge which didn’t even have a connection.
- Comment on Microsoft admits it 'cannot guarantee' data sovereignty 2 weeks ago:
Always on, wireless connections are kind of a MASSIVE security issue.
- Comment on Microsoft admits it 'cannot guarantee' data sovereignty 2 weeks ago:
No fucking shit. Computers, the way they’ve been developed and deployed, basically look like they are intentionally insecure. The fact MBAs keep trying to force this fundamentally flawed concept of computing upon the world is driving intelligent people to look else where.

Love you too bestie!

Finally some sanity.
- Comment on As a male kinder teacher I agree more needs to be done to protect children. But the solution is not to vilify people like me 3 weeks ago:
The answer to a problem is never going to be to insist that everything other than the desired answer is totally and unequivocably false. If you actually want to resolve this, instead of turning it into yet another hanging conflict, you’re going to have to be honest about why concerns exist.

Did… you downvote yourself?
- Comment on xkcd #3116: Echo Chamber 3 weeks ago:
Eh… everyone has different reasons, and I’m sure there’s a healthy diversity of types involved in this shit.
- Comment on xkcd #3116: Echo Chamber 3 weeks ago:
I saw a really interesting Ted Talk from a Google engineer waaaaaaay back in or before 2007 (I think), discussing the upcoming danger of algorithms isolating people in echo chambers.
Apparently the problem we’ve got right now is not that people can’t foresee these problems, but rather that those in charge, for whatever reason, are completely ignoring the warnings from their own engineers.

- Comment on BBC News - BBC senior staff told to 'step back' from duties following row 5 weeks ago:
Their problem is that this event broadcast things which totally contradict the narrative they’re trying to build about what’s happening in the world.
- Comment on [DHS]Threat to the United States. "Both hacktivists and Iranian government-affiliated actors routinely target poorly secured US networks and Internet-connected devices for disruptive cyber attacks." 1 month ago:
Yes, lets ignore real problems in favour of turning them into partisan shouting matches.
It’s worked so well until now.
- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 1 month ago:
You’re not wrong. I still remember the day I picked up a newspaper and saw the headline “video games earn more than movies for the first time ever,” and I immediately knew where the industry was headed. In retrospect, I was 100% correct.
- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 1 month ago:
Weird people were forced out of the industry over the past decade or more.

Clearly they would rather be consumed by other things instead.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Well we’re going to suffer until enough people do figure it out.
The sad part is that this is a very well known phenomena, yet people become too consumed by everything else to even care about learning of such warnings left behind by long dead civilizations.
- Comment on xkcd #3104: Tukey 1 month ago:
Huh, that kind of gets the juices going, and I’m wondering how much we’ve been trying to make our problems fit the technologies we’ve built, rather than the other way around.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Civilization exists because enough people know that we’re better off working together than against each other.
