Musk is accusing everybody he doesn’t like as pedophile, even people trying to rescue schoolchildren trapped in a flooded cave.

Yeah, kind of. I refuse to login and notice how often I still klick on Reddit. That is like a cold shower, but cures the muscle memory.

First of all, many of us used Google Reader and Google shutting that down totally destroyed my trust in Google and other companies. My reader is critical infrastructure for me and I do not want some random company to screw me again. I think that many others experienced losing a valuable tool and that is why there are so many selfhosted RSS readers out there.

No, it isn’t. Yes, you might think that this is a phase going away soon, but if your company is mandating you to use AI, just do it or search for another job.

You can filter the cloudflare data for “likely automated” and “likely human” and that gives you ~6% Linux in the last 4 weeks. Cloudflares main business is bot and DDOS protection on a global scale, so their numbers will be the best you can get:

Let’s be honest here: A smartphone costs the same to develop, produce and so on, regardless of if you simply buy it or rent it. The companies need their profit, so they will not start renting you a phone when it is more profitable to sell it to you. It should make you suspicious that they want you to rent, because that kind of tells you that they will make more profit from renting than selling. That means that you will pay more for your phone in the long run without owning it.

I guess that they are implementing crappy cameras? Not sure about american plates, but in most jurisdictions licence plates are optimized for easy OCR:

Note how each letter is unique and can’t be transformed with a sharpie into another. That also makes OCR easy. If you use a crappy dashcam, you will get problems regardless. Esp. in low light situations at higher speeds.

So I would guess that Flock uses cheap sensors and cheap lenses. Which kind of makes sense when they are putting out thousands of scanners.

There really is a place for closed forums of enthusiasts where not everybody can get access and where you can talk without being indexed by Google, fed into LLMs and analyzed by Palantir. There is a place for an open discussion on a public square, a place for a chat among mates in a pub and a scientific conference where people can speak freely about their research without fucking Elon Musk leading an army of trolls into the audience

So … does something like this work? Or is the foundation a little bit weakened in a few spots, which totally doesn’t matter in the lifespan of a datacenter?

You describe it as a nightmare, but on the other hand: People are operating multi-ton vehicles at high speeds in urban areas and are causing thousands of casualities doing that every year. A person operating a car should focus on the road and driving. If he/she is speeding, checking the phone, eating, smoking or fighting with their co-driver or kids, that’s not safe and needs to be stopped.

I totally like the trolling - but on the other hand it totally would be nice if this map was not manipulated so that we could watch the russian fuel crisis in real time and see their empire crumble

You can’t trust any reporting coming out of Russia. They lie. They downplay losses. You see those videos of burning refineries and Russia will claim that some minor fire broke out.

Just think about it: There have been 28 vessels hit in this night alone. The other nights before that were devastating for Russia, too. Ukraine claims 76 hits in 6 days and is showing the video evidence for that. So whatever that number is, there is a lot of destruction in the Sea of Azov going on right now. Ukrainian drones are flying around, which makes Search & Rescue operations hard. Normal maritime SAR operations rely on civilial vessels going to the rescue area and for them to pick up people from life boats and on helicopters and planes to search for survivors. There also might be some specialized vessels built for putting out fires. There is no way that normal SAR is able to deal with 76 vessels in 6 days or 28 vessels which are on fire. Even when there are no drones around trying to kill you. So basically nobody knows how many people died, because there is nobody coming to help those ships. They might be giving some kind of status update via radio, but as you know: Russia is not telling the truth.

When bending spoon buys something you are using, you should run for the exit, take your data, and search for alternatives.

So we know that he is actively harming young people on Instagram. We know that he was showing ads for CASM content in India and is profitering from that. He know wants to hook young people on gambling. Maybe he should get a restraining order preventing him from interacting with children at all.

Another great alternative is Geoactivity Playground if you use Strava to get overall statistics for your rides. You can import a Strava export or simply put some GPX files in a folder. It’s great:

Dude, the author is from Estonia. English is therefore not his native language. Fuck you for attacking non-native speakers because of some minor grammar error.

It would be horrible and kill this place. Meta does not do any sensible moderation on its platforms. There are nazis on there. All those MAGA propagandists. Scammers. Trolls. Meta is doing nothing against that.

A “meta lemmy instance” integrating Facebook groups would be too big for other instances to block. Which would bring all those users you really don’t want to be here into our forum with no moderation. It would also send all your posts and user data from here to Meta.

So … maybe we should reduce the number of flights right now? And maybe check which flights are serving a real purpose and which are just flying people around who want to shop or get wasted.

If Bending Spoons buys something you use, you should run to the exits and search for an alternative.

I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe. Sharepoints on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched Exchange glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.
