Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk Is Charging Starlink Customers Gigantic Bogus Fees Because Its Network Is Being Crushed by “High Demand”English
26·6 days ago“I can complain about Starlink raising their prices, but it’s the only genuine option we have,” former Nebraska state senator and Republican Julie Slama told the Washington Post last month. “Once they have rural customers on their service with no meaningful alternatives, they’re free to raise prices at will.”
Should we pull up the record and see who voted to allow that to happen in Nebraska while on the subject?
I agree with the thrust of this, but I have no faith in the resolve of the average consumer to make a difference.

Games@lemmy.world•Some Retailers Are Refusing to Sell GTA 6 Due to the Lack of a DiscEnglish
2·18 days agoThis is a fight retailers lost along time ago, even if they don’t realize it. Even if it upsets some segment of the game buying population digital delivery and store fronts right on the console/PC are many orders of magnitude more convenient. And if the consumer loves one thing above cheap and flexible it is convenient.

Technology@lemmy.world•400+ Arch Linux AUR Packages Compromised in a Supply Chain Attack Deploying InfostealersEnglish
3·30 days agoProbably not. The article says that most of it seems to have come from orphaned stuff in the AUR that the threat actors took ownership of via the legit process, then modified to pull down malicious NPM packages when someone went to install them.
So if your Discord package is well maintained you probably have nothing to worry about.

Technology@lemmy.world•Doctors and NHS could be sued for mistakes made by AI tools, report warnsEnglish
32·1 month agoGood. But I would like to see it go further and have a provision that allows the doctor to pass that blame on to the place they work if using that AI is being forced on them.

40·2 months agoPeople in general seem to have a hard time grasping the notion of just how much power we all have collectively. It is why so much time and marketing goes into promoting the idea of “the individual” being the most important thing in my opinion. The more people only consider themselves the less power they have to get what they want and need.

Technology@lemmy.world•More Than Half of Gen Z Users Cancel and Renew Streaming Services for a Single Title, Won’t Purchase Full-Price Video Games, New Study FindsEnglish
48·2 months agoFunny way of saying “half of Gen Z are not falling for the typical consumer spend spend spend trap”. And as a millennial I say good for them. About time large chunks of people see the consumption driven economy game for what it is.
Gabe is living proof that the issue is not the money or drive to make it on its own that is a problem. Its the building ones entire life and reason for being around making as much money as possible no matter what you have to do that is the issue.
In my opinion if someones only qualification for being in charge of a business is having an MBA and having been in management at other places then that are grossly unqualified to be in charge of anything outside of their own finances.
