Are these new users in the room with us? lmao

drmoose ,

Apple has been really stretching their takes lately. Nice to see some fire under their ass though it's not going to matter. Too many ignorant people falling for likeable propaganda.

drmoose ,

As someone who switched to nixos - eh. So much hacking to make dev stuff work really kills the magic that nixos is supposed to be :|

drmoose ,

Rats are actually very clean and groom themselves constantly! I'd give mine little baths and they'd just sit there all spooked up waiting for it to be over lol

They can also be potty trained though males are easier than females so you better be ok with giant nuts being dragged around your place.

drmoose ,

It's a mating strategy as sperm volume increases the rat's chance to reproduce. Single female mates with multiple males and more volume translates into higher chance for male's sperm to succeed.

In general, nut size directly correlates with promiscuity across most species so you can tell how a species fucks just by looking at their balls :D

drmoose ,

Exposure empowers the immune system so the "dirty" rat is likely to cary less pathogens than many people 😬

drmoose ,

The problem is that we rely to much on proprietary software just because people want money. We're seriously losing billions of work hours in efficiency loss because our society can't monetize free software. Now we have to reinvent twitter.

drmoose ,

yes but this is an incredibly important step to prevent this. Marking e2e as a human right would be a major win!

Passkeys might really kill passwords (www.theverge.com)

Passkeys: how do they work? No, like, seriously. It’s clear that the industry is increasingly betting on passkeys as a replacement for passwords, a way to use the internet that is both more secure and more user-friendly. But for all that upside, it’s not always clear how we, the normal human users, are supposed to use...

drmoose ,

I didn't like that they interviewed a corporate PR person instead of a real security expert. Sorry but that lady is just deflecting and spinning and missing so many important details to promote 1password.

Generally like the verge but this one was a bit lazy ngl - was there really no neutral or open source expert available?

I must be the only person on Lemmy who actually likes Spotify. You youngings don't remember the time before spotify where the best option was Apple's shit-of-a-service that charges flat 2$ per song (no matter where you are in the world lol) or spending evenings in p2p music sharing channels and music forums organizing your playlists.

Spotify has objectively changes music for the better and I'd be very sad if it goes away because all alternatives are significantly worse still.

drmoose ,

I have youtube music and tidal too (I pay for all because I do love my music) as well as tried every other service and Spotify is still the best daily driver by far because it does everything well enough and innovates just enough to be interesting but stable. Everything else is lacking some piece of a puzzle like no lyrics, small library, lacking core features.

Other than that Youtube music is severely under rated because of music videos but the rest don't really have anything special about them tbh

drmoose , (edited )

Cross platform being main feature missing from Apple music also a modern discovery mechanism and no way to control output device like on spotify. No group listens or social features. It's not even close tbh.

I have tidal for some audio quality for my house speaker setup. Yt music for mtv chill nights and Spotify for everything else :)

drmoose ,

What a clickbait "article". The whole stock market is correcting insane growth of last year and in fact the company with the biggest AI investments (Microsoft) crashed the least!

It's rewording the real article from Reuters: https://www.reuters.com/technology/ai-companies-lose-190-billion-market-cap-after-alphabet-microsoft-report-2024-01-31/

drmoose ,

Its an open secret that middle managers are trying to save their asses.

drmoose ,

It's much harder to hide corruption when everything is being recorded!

As an anecdote I work in a 20 person team and we hardly have any managers nor meetings. I honestly haven't even seen many of my coworkers I work with daily but we all keep loads of records from boards, to RFCs to traditional docs and wrap that all up with daily stand-ups. We're incredibly productive.

Remote is amazing when done well and I don't see how any CEO could say otherwise with a straight face. It saves so much money that all the "connection" gaps can be easily filled in with team building and workations and other events.

It is the future, well its already the present but many haven't caught up to it yet.

drmoose ,

Maybe because it's not the same corporations? We might be seeing a giant powershift from IP hoarders to makers.

drmoose , (edited )

Let's not kid ourselves that the copyright is stopping mega corporations from stealing your github code.

What's stopping them from hiring an engineer that basically rewrites your code? No one would ever know.

Copyleft enforcement is laughable at best and thats with legitimate non profits working on it (like FSF) and that's when it comes to direct library use without modifications and there's basically no history of prosecution or penalties for partial code copying (nor that there should be imo) that's even when 1:1 code has been found!

I feel like copyright has been doing very little in modern age and have yet to see any science that contradicts my opinion here. Most copyright holders (like high 90%) are mega corporations like ghetty images that hardly contribute back to the society.

drmoose ,

it still could be made working with using real logins for scraping which can be a bit illegal but if you do it on your personal instance it would be more than enough. I'm not sure, maybe nitter already supports this instead of guest tokens?

drmoose ,

That would be in it in ideal world but Twitter can sue you for damages as you explicitly agree with ToS in most countries especially US. There's enough precedence when it comes to "login" scraping in the US that you'd most likely lose (though probably not a massive payout)

Twitter is unlikely to bother with small non-commercial scrapers but I wouldn't risk attaching any tracable info even for small personal projects.

Former CEO of Google has been quietly working on a military startup for “suicide” attack drones. (www.forbes.com)

Former CEO of Google has been quietly working on a military startup for “suicide” attack drones.::The former Google CEO has been quietly working on a military startup called White Stork with plans to design “kamikaze” attack drones.

drmoose ,

I disagree - it's evil. I'm not saying we don't need military and weapons but I'd say that if from all possibile ways of approaching this is making suicide drones is kinda evil.

Imagine having all this status, money and arguably some real skill you choose to make weapons instead of any other alternative. That's incredibly sad.

drmoose ,

Because they're not good people.

I think we try to analyze stuff and always give benefit of doubt because life's weird but some people are just bad - Occam's razor and everything.

I recently watched a great video on how drug dealers who deal Tranq justify selling dangerous drugs (by Channel 5 on yt) and the host had a great monolog on how many of these people create these fake realities to justify that "their just a cog in the machine" and have no choice and obviously this is a spectrum of sorts. But this mega rich cunt has all of the choices. Literally. So, it's evil. No excuse.

drmoose ,

Small minded point of view. Imagine if those billions were spend productively to unite people rather than defence. I'm not saying no defence is necessary I'm just saying the other side is infinitely more efficient. We attribute diplomacy to one of the greatest human inventions not because it's more ethical (it is) but because it literally allowed us to prosper to the point where we can sustain 7 billion people with objectively great lives for the most part.

drmoose ,

it's kinda ruined already and Google's incompetence/greed didn't need any AI assistance.

drmoose ,

Yeah mostly for spam but the dataset is massive. 15M emails + real names + usernames is pretty useful for any cold emailing like recruitment and product spam. That being said, using datasets like this legally is a no-no but it's almost impossible to prove either way.

drmoose ,

tbf it's just email, username and real name so it's basically nothing when half of users are name.lastname@gmail.com either way.

drmoose ,

real names is definitely a breach

drmoose ,

It is a foot in the door but honestly there are way too many doors out there so it's really hard to measure the real damage of this.

I worked at a pretty major employment company like 20 years ago when basically everything was legal and we didn't need to buy dark web datasets to find real names and contacts ever - most of that data is publicly available and can be captured with simple public scrapers and email checks.

I think expectation of names and emails being private should be thrown out of the window entirely and every security system should implicitly assume these details are publicly known.

drmoose ,

I feel like exit from IT is the wrong move tbh. Senior workers will reap the rewards it's the newbies who are getting into IT now are potentially in trouble.

There will be new job possibilities and niches and AI will just empower people. Suddenly one person can launch and grow a startup which tbh not really possible today even if you're a straight up genius. Problems will be solved faster and competition will drastically raise the quality of all software.

drmoose OP ,

Ultimate Slut.

drmoose OP ,

Dunno man samsung's mid range phones are exceptionally good.

drmoose ,

You're still stuck in 2002 or something? Most of the web is literally FOSS. Gone are the myths of free software being worse when the whole world literally runs on it.

drmoose ,

the argument for .ml domain has always been absurd to begin with. So it's free but the price you pay is that it's being run by Mali. I'd just drop 8$/year tbh, that's not a hill you want to die for. Also you harm your project by being SEO punished for using spam-associated TLDs like this. One of the reasons original Lemmy took so long to adopt until Reddit's API drama. Pretty dumb ngl.

drmoose ,

That's not true at all. ML was used as an idiological choice as it's the only free TLD you can get and you should not have to pay for a domain name as per Lemmy's creators ideology.

drmoose ,

It's not anonymous. In fact because it's free it requires more data to prevent someone from acquiring all of the domain names.
