What actually might help: hold people who design these tools criminally liable. Everyone knows what they are doing but you can’t really say no to your employer because “don’t worry you’re not liable” so everyone continues on building the Torment Nexus.
Out of the loop:
The systemd project merged a pull request adding a new birthDate field to the JSON user records managed by userdb, in response to age verification laws in California, Colorado, and Brazil.
Lennart Poettering clarified that this is an optional field in the userdb JSON object — not a policy engine, not an API for apps. It just defines the field so it’s standardized if people want to store the date there, but it’s entirely optional. Systemd itself does nothing with the data.
What a nothing burger
Still phone numbers are just really really bad. Like the worst thing you could possibly choose when it comes to verification.
Using phone numbers is the only real criticism imo any service that uses phone numbers is fundamentally compromised.
Once I joined a company with “unlimited paid time off” and turned out it was more like “no time off and maybe check some things on the weekends”. They also fired me day before my equity should have hit then had the audacity to ask me to organize macbook return - it’s still gathering dust on my shelf lol
Either way I still got paid a lot of money and it was a good learning though more in life lessons rather than professional experience.
Nah mate screen is awesome outside except most people are stuck on macbooks that are simply unusable due to extreme screen glare.
Funny how Google couldn’t defeat seo spammers and yet claim they can keep AI safe. We are so fucked
It’s true organic growth is basically dead. There’s very little reason to share expert insights now and while the old system sucked due to seo gaming but there was some actual value there even if buried deep.
Sure but why waste your privilege on “fine”. If you have the market power as an employee to pick and choose you shouldn’t settle on just fine.
Windows has a really good shell too but it’s not about terminal. Both macs and windows are pretty awful dev machines.
Kind of but decentralization really makes it up for it. Digg didn’t even have custom communities let alone decentralization.
Nah it sucked. I was on it. It was just lemmy but with less features and with less content. It was dead the moment it started because it did nothing.
I don’t understand how they even think it could succeed.
Finally some good fucking news. Now let’s make it so there’s no 2.0 3.0 etc constantly trying to sneak this in - we need to enshrine privacy into real laws.
What do you mean you can hate both? Whats the other of your hates? Disregard for copyright absolutism?
The extremist idiots. Entire lemmy.ml is incredibly disgusting bunch of losers.
Yes, in fact there’s no framework or legal precedent right now so everyone already is doing it. You can just scrape the web etc and disregard IP ownership because training AI is transformative work - as it should be.
Honestly I agree with Meta here but this should apply to everyone. I think most people here conflate their hate for Meta with the factual reality of intellectual property.
Nope, I’m not an american and oracle is really not that well known outside of american corporate tech.
Mysql and Java were very big in Europe but as developer you don’t really interact with Oracle at all and even then everyone’s using openjdk since early 2010s so really if you’re not working in american enterprise you never even going to encounter Oracle’s name let alone interact with them.
My only interaction was calling their support trying to explain what a debit card is because Oracle is so brokenly american that they don’t understand the difference between debit and credit.
Slab phone is solved tech already and this is the time where we can vote for more ethical solutions without really losing anything. The newest fairphone is basically just a standard android flagship.
There’s difference between making an encryption tool and hiring top psychologists to design abusive systems.
