Technology@lemmy.world•The Backlash Is So Strong That People With “Pervert Glasses” Are Afraid to Use Them in PublicEnglish
9·17 hours agoI think the glasses are worse since they will film you up close, anywhere, and end up on social media to laugh at or to jerk off to.
This is a product that should not be allowed to be distributed to the public. But we live in an age where decency and respect for others is low.
All of this when you get the super excellent Kagi for 10 dollars, from an actual search company that values privacy.
Its exactly what everyone wants but no, can’t pay 10 dollars I guess. :)

Technology@lemmy.world•Traffic Camera Captures Woman Driving With Her Phone on Her Lap (Face Down), The State Mailed Her a $1251 'Public Safety' TicketEnglish
16·3 days agoJust think how safe the world would be if everyone was monitored 24 hours per day, for their safety of course.

Technology@lemmy.world•ChatGPT's market share slips below 50% for first timeEnglish
1·4 days agoHow would it end up in the hands of the people? Salary slaves paying taxes would pay less? I don’t think so. It would be taken by the state and used for weapons (in the USA).
Or am I missing something?

Technology@lemmy.world•All Cars Sold in the EU Now Require a Camera Aimed at Your Face. It’s Still Not Clear Where That Data GoesEnglish
2·5 days agoDon’t you know how roads work? Different speeds, situations, city traffic? Any of this rings a bell?

5·5 days agoI think its horrible and should be illegal. It’s a massive annoyance and could cause accidents since your attention is on that and not the traffic.
So tired of all the bullshit people never asked for.

9·5 days agoEven the word “service pack” is funny to someone like me who doesn’t use windows.
They mean patch but it’s corpo speak… :)

Technology@lemmy.world•All Cars Sold in the EU Now Require a Camera Aimed at Your Face. It’s Still Not Clear Where That Data GoesEnglish
3·6 days agoI have a car from 2023, and I think thats the last year before they started adding shit to the vara, like beeping when going over speed limit and filming the driver.
So if I were you, I would look at cars from that year now, and you hit the sweet spot of getting a 3 year old car for almost half the new price.
You won’t be able to disable stuff, it will get worse and worse every year as drivers gets used to it.

16·6 days agoThis was on the news today on tv and they showed a camera filming the driver, watching his upper body.
I bought a car from 2023 without all this shit so I’m very happy. Newer electric cars also beep when you go over the speed limit, which would drive me nuts.

Linux@programming.dev•Windows Drops Under 60% in Global Desktop OS Share for the First Time in Years
19·6 days agoI hope they never recover.
I doubt it’s real. Most of the screenshots here are just Ai generated for people to react to. It’s entertainment.
This is typical tech timeline too. Everything is so rushed that shit literally happen in minutes.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•how do i prep for the digital surveillance crisis worsening?
31·8 days agoNot for me, and it’s my experience im talking about here. How can it be “difficult” to not use the internet? That’s a very low bar for difficult isn’t it?

66·9 days agoI was born without the internet and I can die without it too. Perhaps using some bank apps I guess. Some things are required. Most are not.
But sure, I would love if people could do something, but we never can.
Kagi. People pay for it for a reason.














Retired and living from investments. I’m 51 so was working in tech for a long time.
Start investing if you aren’t.
