- Comment on Trump wanted a US-made iPhone. Apple gave him a gold statue. 3 days ago:
Honestly, I can’t say I blame them, if it works.
- Comment on UK cyber vigilantes generating mock IDs of local MPs to protest Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
Yeah, I think the creator of this is playing with fire personally.
- Comment on UK cyber vigilantes generating mock IDs of local MPs to protest Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
Using the ID, sure. But what about providing the service?
- Comment on UK cyber vigilantes generating mock IDs of local MPs to protest Online Safety Act 1 week ago:
I’d love to hear some informed commentary on the legality of this, if it’s legal, it’s surely an oversight in the law.
- Comment on Not sure about this one 1 week ago:
When someone says lifeguard, I think bored teenager by the pool making sure people don’t drown. Not the coast guard.
- Comment on Woman arrested after travelling with two-year-old in suitcase in New Zealand 1 week ago:
Child endangerment, interestingly it was the bus driver that called police.
- Comment on AI is 'breaking' entry-level jobs that Gen Z workers need to launch careers, LinkedIn exec warns 1 week ago:
The article also talks about how AI isn’t delivering the savings or advantages promised, in a number of cases.
So, it’s not all doom and gloom.
- Comment on St. Paul, MN, was hacked so badly that the National Guard has been deployed 1 week ago:
Did you get lost on the way to Lemmy.ml?
1.5 billion in crypto isn’t something you can spend without attracting attention, of course it was them.
- Comment on St. Paul, MN, was hacked so badly that the National Guard has been deployed 1 week ago:
- Comment on Yeah 1 week ago:
What did GitHub do?
- Comment on St. Paul, MN, was hacked so badly that the National Guard has been deployed 1 week ago:
What are the chances this took place during working hours in China?
- Comment on Someone who claims to have scraped public listening data from a number of public figures — politicians, celebrities, journalists — spun up their alleged playlists and made it into a site 1 week ago:
That’s such a pretentious way to put it, on par with describing popular movies as “popcorn films”
- Comment on The elders crave the slop 1 week ago:
I suspect poor eyesight is also a factor.
- Comment on Bitchat is a new private Bluetooth messaging app that doesn’t need the internet – here’s how it works 1 week ago:
So the other person would need to be in the same venue as you, or possibly the next building over?
There’s a very narrow use case for this, from what I can tell.
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 1 week ago:
There’s a huge number of people here who would learn a lot from giving tech support to someone like my mum.
- Comment on Lemmy is a tech literate echo chamber 1 week ago:
Most of the tags I’ve assigned to people are less than flattering.
- Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare 1 week ago:
It would be interesting to see something similar that required accusations to be backed up with evidence. Police reports, court proceedings and results, news articles etc.
It would also be a lot safer, legally speaking, for the service provider.
- Comment on Bitchat is a new private Bluetooth messaging app that doesn’t need the internet – here’s how it works 1 week ago:
I can see a use case for sending files from phone to phone, but wouldn’t you just talk to someone if you’re that close?
Also, I wonder what the theoretical range is? How many relay points will a message go through?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
So, if you’re a child, watch some videos about budgeting, maybe a few cooking videos?
I dunno, what are some categories of video no youth would ever watch?
- Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare 1 week ago:
Which is even worse, because unless someone tells them, they’re blissfully unaware.
With most forms of Libel, at least the victim will see it in a timely manner.
- Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare 1 week ago:
You make a valid point, this platform absolutely shits on anyone without technical knowledge, just look at the hundred or so smug replies telling you what flavor of Linux they run if you mention a problem with Windows. So, no surprise everyone is focusing on that, and not the human aspect here.
Having said that, there is a power imbalance to this that I really don’t like, the accuser gets to hide behind a veil of anonymity, and the accused has their name published, and is forced to defend themselves.
- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 1 week ago:
Oh, that would be hilarious to watch.
- Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare 1 week ago:
Fair point.
- Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare 1 week ago:
There’s definitely a use case, but there’s an inherent power imbalance to these products that makes sure they will always be misused. The submitters are anonymous, and it’s up to the person being reported on to prove the accusations are false.
Or, they’re supposed to be anonymous.
- Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare 1 week ago:
It’s basically a slander app, from what I can tell.
- Comment on Labour knew Palestine Action posed no violent threat, but banned it anyway amid lobby pressure 2 weeks ago:
That was, in hindsight, not a wise thing to do I think. Definitely gave the UK government an excuse to do something they wanted to do anyway.
- Comment on She's a keeper 2 weeks ago:
This platform just doesn’t do jokes, does it?
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 2 weeks ago:
Valve is a big enough company that they could conceivably start their own payment provider to bypass this.
- Comment on The next time you hear someone say they're just vibing in life without a job, just look at this image. 2 weeks ago:
That’s far too reasonable a viewpoint, you’ll get banned from your instance talking like that.

You’re on ML, rabidly hating the rich should be your thing.
