Would I be asking if it’s normal if I had?

Three years?!?! Is that normal? I’d be ready to strike after 3 months!
- Comment on Instagram is getting rid of end-to-end encrypted DMs that ‘very few’ people used 1 week ago:
Everyone would use it if that’s just the only way it worked. I don’t need to turn e2ee in Signal on. It’s always on. There’s no way to turn it off. So, everyone uses it. The only reason to make people jump through hoops to turn it on is if you don’t actually want people using it.

I’m not the person you’re responding to, but I’m running SmartTube running on an Nvidia Shield here. Works amazing.

I stand corrected.
Although, if I may point out, you just posted an unattributed screenshot with some text. From where? You don’t say. A link is always better. Cite your sources.
- Comment on oopsie poopsies 2 weeks ago:
But this isn’t based on a silly image. This is just facts overlayed on a slop image that doesn’t add anything meaningful. You can’t just throw random ingredients together and make something good. This whole “meme” is low effort slop.
- Comment on oopsie poopsies 2 weeks ago:
Yes. I really didn’t think I needed to point that out.

If you go this route, you’ll be suspect #1 if anyone else ever takes more aggressive defensive measures against the cameras.

If only there were some way to temporarily cover up the license plate.

I’d recommend caution. No idea if these things have a built in GPS, but I wouldn’t be surprised considering how easy/cheap it is for electronics hobbyists to add GPS functionality to their projects. Take it home and fire it up and you may potentially be telling the gestapo right where you live.

This tech we need, is the leap from ICE to electric vehicles
Great news! I heard a rumor that they’re going to start making electric vehicles next week.

- Comment on Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users 1 month ago:
You don’t honestly think that DHS doesn’t know Lemmy exists, do you? If they’re monitoring Reddit, you’d have to be a fool to not realize that they’re probably here, too.
- Comment on Deepfake scams have gone from niche to industrial; one finance officer paid out nearly $500,000 on a fake video call with “company leadership” 1 month ago:
Last year, a finance officer at a Singaporean multinational paid out nearly $500,000 to scammers during what he believed was a video call with company leadership.
My bet is that that is just his very plausible cover story. He’s the one that got the money.

The rest of us, he indicates, will be stuck on the assembly line, building whatever the tech companies require.

Who’s got the hot new ideas so they can beat them to market.
Well, there’s an absolutely plausible motive that I hadn’t considered, yet. Fuuuuuuck.
- Comment on TikTokers are heading to UpScrolled following US takeover 1 month ago:
Its website says the platform will remain “impartial” to political agendas, won’t shadowban users or content, and will “uphold social responsibility.”
I don’t feel, in this day and age, like you can be politically impartial (i.e. allow fascists to use your platform to spread their propaganda) while simultaneously upholding social responsibility (i.e. not allowing fascists to use your platform to spread their propaganda).

- Comment on Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it 1 month ago:
but instead give us a heap of AI-generated code and say “just put this in.”
we now have to reverse-engineer the requirements from their crappy AI code.
It may be time for some malicious compliance.
Don’t reverse engineer anything. Do as your told and “just put this in” and deploy it. Everything will break and management will explode, but now you’ve demonstrated that they can’t just replace you with AI.
Now explain what you’ve been doing (reverse engineering to figure out their requirements), but that you’re not going to do that anymore. They need to either give you proper requirements so that you can write properly working code, or they give you AI slop and your just going “put it in” without a second thought. L
You’ll need your whole team on board for this to work, but what are they going to do, fire the whole team and replace them with AI? You’ll have already demonstrated that that’s not an option.

Everyone knows that AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Grok, and Gemini can often hallucinate sources.
No, no, apparently not everyone, or this wouldn’t be a problem.

- Comment on US | NY Governor Hochul signs bill requiring warning labels on ‘addictive’ social media 2 months ago:
these platforms will have to display warnings “when a young user initially uses the predatory feature and periodically thereafter.”
Predatory features should not come with a warning for young users. They should be banned for everyone.

I didn’t say it changed their point. I said it was pedantic.
- Comment on Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics” 2 months ago:
That’s just pedantic. Those other models were also either trained on human created data, or other models themselves… and those other models… etc etc etc.
When you go back far enough, it’s all human created data. The person you responded to didn’t spell all of that out because they didn’t need to to make their point.
