Yeah, even if zero people ever consented the ability to defeat end to end exception would still be required in the software just in case someone ever did consent. That's all governments need to bring their other powers down on companies. They can spy on whoever they like with this.

winterayars ,

This one's true though.

winterayars ,

It's not just today, even his contemporaries kinda sucked and mostly didn't like him.

winterayars ,

I don't think i care what Jack Dorsey says that isn't backed up independently. Even if he's right i just don't trust him.

winterayars ,

The American auto industry could also produce EVs, if it so chose. Nobody has to lose their jobs.

Apple Removes WhatsApp, Threads, Telegram, and Signal from China App Store, says it complied with orders from the Chinese government (arstechnica.com)

Apple said it complied with orders from the Chinese government to remove the Meta-owned WhatsApp and Threads from its App Store in China. Apple also removed Telegram and Signal from China....

winterayars ,

I'm sure Apple was dragged, kicking their feet and screaming all the way, into banning all the competing services too...

winterayars ,

I have to admit, before Covid i didn't think people would be joining the war on disease on the side of disease in any meaningful numbers and yet here we are. I think we may be in decline as a civilization, not sure how that kind of brain rot is survivable.

Brute force protection

@memes

winterayars ,

It should be that it rejects the password the first time it's entered correctly but accepts it on every subsequent try. That actually would provide some protection against like dictionary attacks and raw brute force attacks.

winterayars ,

So it should be: if password == correct and first_success == true then { login failure; first_success = false }

Something like that.

winterayars ,

Bitwarden works well.

winterayars ,

I don't really have "devices" that need logging into so i can't help you, there.

winterayars ,

Yep, they may not know what's going on, there may be a bug in their system, either the update nag or the block on the new update may be incorrect.

winterayars ,

The state is kinda bad and it's not only Right-Libertarians who say that. Even so, leaking documents is not always bad. Like, the Abu Ghraib leak was objectively good.

winterayars ,

Joe Darby came forward with the photographs, effectively leaking them. Rumsfeld later leaked Joe Darby's name and identity, leading to him receiving death threats.

winterayars ,

No, no. Let them cook. Let's see what happens before they inevitably get banned.

winterayars ,

Even if they don't have your comments, if you find a gdpr complaint they will have to show that. You can ask to see any data they have on you and also ask them to delete it. (If you're actually going to sue them don't ask them to delete it, though. You'll need that in court.)

winterayars ,

That sounds like a gdpr violation. Companies can keep some things under the gdpr even when asked to delete them but i doubt your comments or whatever fall into that category.

winterayars ,

The prompt wasn't to generate two equally statistically likely people or something. It was: show me two people. The AI did just that.

winterayars ,

What does "guided output" mean in this context?

winterayars ,

Flint, Michigan and sadly all over the US.

winterayars ,

Yeah i think "pfas beyond acceptable levels" is just the new baseline and nobody wants to do anything about it. It sucks.

winterayars ,

Water + drying with an object is like 90% of what makes all cleaning work. Soap just helps that again along.

winterayars ,

Okay this is sick as fuck, though. I wouldn't pay for it but it's sweet.

winterayars ,

When Party Cannon shows up you gotta spring for the colored print.

winterayars ,

Maybe cars should not be so easy to steal... I thought we came to an agreement on this.

winterayars ,

I know Boeing is kind of fucking everything up right now, but safety delays are an indicator of safety, not the opposite.

winterayars ,

This is kind of a survivorship bias kind of thing (with the WW2 bombers): NOT getting the news is the actual indicator of lack of quality control. Getting reports of them finding things is an indicator they're actually looking. We know they had problems due to the whole, you know, planes falling out of the sky.

Of course it's not black and white, what's in the news isn't really the important thing either way. It's just what we can see.

winterayars ,

Layoffs fundamentally change the tone of a company in a serious way. I think "chilling" is a good word.

Boeing withdraws bid for safety exemption for Boeing 737 MAX 7 (www.reuters.com)

Boeing withdraws bid for safety exemption for Boeing 737 MAX 7::Boeing confirmed late on Monday it is withdrawing a request it made to the Federal Aviation Administration last year seeking an exemption from a safety standard for its 737 MAX 7 that is awaiting certification.

winterayars ,

I keep seeing people say this and

  1. The CEO is not alone responsible for the culture, especially when he was only CEO for 4 years
  2. He wasn't the guy who oversaw the 737 Max development. That would be his predecessor, James McNerney, an MBA.

Obviously Muilenberg didn't fix everything wrong with the company during his time there, for all i know he made it worse. However, i keep seeing this cited as some kind of own to the critique of modern Boeing and it isn't. It just isn't.

winterayars ,

You don't even get the ice cream. You just get the opportunity to pick which ice cream you're buying.

winterayars ,

It's more that the 401k grew 0.3% the previous. Still growing, still a lot, just not quite as much of an increase.

winterayars ,

Man i don't wanna buy a car made by people who aren't sleeping in a bed. Come on, now.

winterayars ,

That's definitely where Anakin is going, at least.

winterayars ,

Damn, that test line is stronger than the control.

winterayars ,

"People don't want to pay what you're charging so you should drop the price"

AA: "No"

Repost to scare an economics 101 class.

winterayars ,

Google really is the king of "you don't REALLY mean 'no'. Try again."

winterayars ,

I've been riding an old "premium" subscription from the introduction of Google Play Music (or whatever it was called) years ago when it was introduced, for like $3/month. Seemed like a reasonable deal to me.

They did just (finally) jack the price up on me, though, so as soon as i get some free time i'm canceling.

winterayars ,

Counterpoint to the counterpoint: Youtube made $28 billion in revenue in 2021. Bandwidth and storage space are expensive but i can't believe they're that expensive. If they're not profitable then i have to assume that's a decision they're making.

winterayars ,

I mean we saw this in 2023. Companies fired people and replaced them with AI that was unable to do the job.

winterayars ,

Yep, the matrix is capitalism (a system of control) and getting unplugged is class consciousness.

winterayars ,

There are criticisms that are antisemitic. This isn't one of them, though.

winterayars ,

That 2023 number is about to get way more lopsided.
