RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Life as a teen without social media isn't easy. These families are navigating adolescence offline

Experts: social media is harmful for kids

Schools: let’s use social media as an official communication platform!

WTF.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Microsoft to test “new features and more” for aging, stubbornly popular Windows 10

Popular usage of PCs does not revolve around gaming.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Things the guys who stole my phone have texted me to try to get me to unlock it - Gothamist

Very welcome. Glad to help.

RememberTheApollo_ , (edited ) to Technology in I watched Nvidia's Computex 2024 keynote and it made my blood run cold

Where my futurists now? Tell me again how a technological advancement will free humans from drudgery to engage in more free and enlightened pursuits?

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Spotify has raised prices for the second time in a year, with no new benefits, after its CEO sparked outrage by claiming the cost of creating 'content' is 'close to zero'

Just another CEO denigrating the work of those who make him rich.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

Let’s see how many CEOs get replaced.

Don’t forget the BoD are still human. They still want to profit by putting the AI in place of the CEO.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

Well that’s the point. We don’t support them as a society. From education to health care once you lose your job, you’re SOL, and in this hyper-capitalist dystopia we keep tipping towards I don’t see that changing.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Linux May Be the Best Way to Avoid the AI Nightmare

You’re not wrong. AI is just another tool to scrape cash to the top while eliminating jobs. Could it realize benefits like doing specialized research and testing? Sure…but again, the results of that work are lost human jobs and scraping money to the top. We can argue about advancing technology in a horse cart driver vs automobile thing (won’t anyone think about the poor farriers out of work?) but we’ve already done everything we can to eliminate blue collar jobs with as much automation as possible. Now AI is set to attack middle class jobs. Economically I don’t think that’s going to work out well.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week

If we get to the point where the corporatocracy can force us into a limited set of compliant browsers then the web as we know it has ended. I don’t think they’ll go that far unless they decide to go whole hog. That level of control will likely look to wipe out any useful plugins like ad-blockers or other privacy features. I didn’t want to go down the slippery slope argument, but that’s pretty much what will happen if they go that direction.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Google AI making up recalls that didn’t happen

They’re going to fight tooth and nail to do the usual: remove any responsibility for what their AI says and does but do everything they can to keep the money any AI error generates.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week

I don't think that's going to be the case. People will find workarounds. The whole point of these alternative browsers is to use the web in whatever way the developers think their user base wants to use it. If the web is inaccessible to non-chromium browsers then people will spoof their browser to the site to look like a chromium browser.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Spotify won’t open-source Car Thing, but starts refund process

Seconded. Only downside is that you might need to replace part or all of your dash where the radio goes (because many radio designs are proprietary and aren’t a standard double-DIN bezel), and possibly get an adapter if you have any steering wheel controls like volume or skip. It can be a little involved, though generally the instructions are quite good if you buy from someplace like Crutchfield, or use YouTube videos explaining how to remove and replace the parts.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in How a fed up carpenter found his stolen power tools — and 15,000 others

Cops patting themselves in the back for busting this theft ring while it was a regular citizen who took the time and effort to do the work the police couldn’t be bothered to do in the first place.

RememberTheApollo_ , to Technology in Update: IRS successfully launches their own free Direct File - now ALL of my fellow 'murcans are eligible for 2025

Now if we could do like other countries and just have the government send a pre formatted document of things like wages, dependents, and other taxable items so we all know what we owe because the government has all that information already. Add what you need as far as write offs or other income and send it back. Done. None of this collection of tons of different forms, figuring out what percent you can write off, etc. and submitting it all hoping you don’t get it wrong and get audited or owe fines and interest.
