Do you genuinely think the folks who “gambled” really understood the implications? How many random mailers have you gotten asking to switch to a random third party provider because “it’s better for the env” or will “save money”?

I mean I’ll grant you California is a shitshow but it’s been a shitshow since republicans got on their knees for Enron in the 90s and literally hasn’t recovered. How about Florida, which has been a red state for 80% of the last 30 years, low regulation, but instead of building new power they are keeping nukes going well past their service life? Abundant sun. Abundant wave power. They have the fucking entire European heating system right off the coast.

Your measure of corruption is what now? How many new things are built regardless of their need or what impacts they may have?

Very…unique standpoint.

I think they mean “the same forces that led to the grid collapsing every few years – prioritizing profit above all else, and the government giving zero fucks-- are the same forces which trigger new development to be in renewables with zero regulation or oversight”

Conservatives always write about their broken-clock-right-twice successes in a similar way.

Not everything has to be this. Please stop.

He’s rich and hires youth to rob them of their youth. None of them will ever unionize either, they think they are the lucky ones.

Didn’t know it happened other than lemmy

I suppose that’s all true, I’d say more “following apples lead on locking things down” than over engineered, but 🍅🍅.

I find myself avoiding the whole root business, I do want my mobile device to be fairly locked down. But I also use alternative OSs and app stores to avoid 90% of the garbage (stuff I can’t avoid I put in work profile, like I still need google maps).

It works for me, but on the front of this complexity driving away devs I don’t really see a viable alternative. Base Linux isn’t secure enough for what we put on these little computers. I mean you’ve still got tons of influential people arguing you shouldn’t use secureboot or a tpm as if leaving your whole computer unsecured is better than the indignity of using a non-free bios.

The funny thing about this whole conversation is I genuinely don’t know which population it’s supposed to be disparaging. (Also I’ll note I never saw the message you responded to, given it was mod removed on Lemmy it could be super toxic or it could be “I don’t like Linux that much”, but I assume the former)

Don’t get me wrong I know I could look it up, but it’s easier to just not care and go with the flow when I’m around folks in their 20s…and also not care and go with the flow when I’m around folks in their 50s.

I don’t know the point of the first paragraph…scams are bad? Yes? Does anyone not agree? (I guess scammers)

For the second we are talking in the wild abstract, so I feel comfortable pointing out that every automated system humanity has come up with so far has pulled in our own biases and since ai models are trained by us, this should be no different. Second, if the models are fallible, you cannot talk about success without talking false positives. I don’t care if it blocks every scammer out there if it also blocks a message from my doctor. Until we have data on consensus between these new algorithms and desired outcomes, it’s pointless to claim they are better at X.

Oscar wild is pure sex and resting in power, so…maybe both

I know it from the Janelle monet song which apparently quotes a book from 2002 but I find it hard to believe that’s the first time the phrase was said.

I just Ctrl+f’d the article and can confirm it’s not defined. Why do you say it is?

Edit: woof there’s something going on in the replies that I do not want to be part of.

You’re in the wrong here. Reread the message and the tone of the message and then I’d like a 500 word essay on which particular diction in the post makes you think he’s an edgelord rather than someone who genuinely doesn’t know who would abbreviate something “r-word” as if it’s an equivalent moral choice to call a person by that word as it is to call a person by a word that evokes 400 years of triangle trade suffering (or for a subset of the us population, the analogous c-word which many view as evoking 10,000 years of misogynistic behaviors).

Once that essay is done, I’d like 1000 words on why you think this post makes him anti-trans or, if it’s easier, anti-“pronoun” whatever that happens to be a dog whistle for in your head. Feel free to use their comment history for this one if needs be.

I think this one is generational (for real, not “these kids don’t have work ethic”). I don’t know anyone in my age group that cares at all. I’ve only ever heard people a decade younger than me say “r-word” in real life.

What’s over engineered about it?

Yes, absolutely, and regularly, and without shame.

But not usually about technical stuff.

Why do you need machine learning for detecting scams?

Is someone in 2025 trying to help you out of the goodness of their heart? No. Move on.

graphene folks have a real love for the word misinformation (and FUD, and brigading). That’s not you under there👻, Daniel, is it?

After 5 years of his antics hateful bullshit lies, I think I can genuinely say that word triggers me.

Everything is sex, except sex, which is power

:(

The sad thing is this is kinda solved in the advertising space. Like, they know who I am, uniquely, including emails, phone numbers, and drivers license. The data is available, but banks (the primary users of the SSN) are perpetually stuck with 30yo tech.
