Ich finde bei solchen Artikeln bzw Klagen sollte der Jahresumsatz kommuniziert werden. In dem Fall 300 Mio $ in 2023.

The bikes would still be shipped from india because it’s cheaper. So the OPs question stays the same. Would you be willing to buy a bike that’s 3 times the price because it’s been built locally. Statistics show that most people wouldn’t. So no, most people wouldn’t change their lifestyle to combat climate change. Should they? Obviously, since living a modest life is better than burning alive or drowning. Although in all fairness, people might be more willing to spend money to combat climate change if corpocrats wouldn’t be gobbling up every bit of wealth like fucking ghouls.

I’ve seen the effects on invidious these past days. 8 in 10 instances have been broken. Google is putting some serious work into shutting alternate frontends down. Shows you how much of a dent they’re putting in the bottom line.

Das plus Chat-Kontrolle plus die Nazifizierung unserer Regierung sollte bei jedem angstverschwitzte Alpträume auslösen.

I’m not okay with people lying, why would that be different for AI?

I’m convinced it’s an economic issue. The oligarchs are canibalizing society as we know it and it’s reaching an inevitable tipping point. And the story line that always tracks in a situation of economic unrest, is that brown people are fucking stuff up.

because of the heavy Palestinian death toll in Gaza.

Because of the genocide in Gaza. You can call it like it is. The UN already said it’s genocide. That’s why Bibi is a wanted criminal according to the international court of justice. Because of the genocide. That the US, again, is deciding to support with weapons. Fucking disgraceful…

Der Titel ist natürlich mal wieder sensationilisiert. Es geht nicht um Internetfotos, sondern speziell zur Gesichtserkenning ausgerichtete Dienste. Nichts desto trotz ist es der nächste Schritt in Richtung gläserner Bürger und “schuldig bis die Unschuld bewiesen wurde”

Der Artikel, bzw. die befragten Experten, raten zur Nutzung von Signal wegen des Quelloffenen Codes. Sie gehen aber nicht darauf ein, dass der Serverseitige Code nicht offen ist und auch noch in den USA zentral gehostet wird, ganz davon zu schweigen, dass immer noch Telefonummern gesammelt werden. Immerhin gewinnt der Artikel an Seriosität indem XMPP und Briar Erwähnung finden.

The little separator bars on the conveyor belts thingies at the cashier in a super market should always be placed for the person behind you. If the bozo in front of me wants to pay for my shit he can go right ahead.

Same with Gnome wanting to be pronounced “Gah-nome”, or Latex “Latech”. Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced, or accept that people pronounce it another way

Reminds me of KFC planning to launch a game console

I have for some time thought of categorizing my library with some sort of factor where I calculate quality per time spent, which I would base on dividing the steam score by the completion time. So short and good games would be on top of the queue, before long and good or short and middling, with long and middling at the bottom

Passkeys are a great option for people that don’t wanna deal with managing their passwords and have some else do it for them. That’s not everyone though, some prefer staying in control, so it should always stay optional.

In the mean time UK and Germany have agreed to send more torpedoes so that Israel can protect its naval borders from further incursions

Fantastic piece of software. Allows you to block IPs, ports and domains, even with wildcards, either globally or per app.

Meanwhile the US has approved 3.5 Billion “aid” to a genocidal apartheid dictatorship

No suprise there. Germany is the second biggest arms supplier to Israel after the US. Fuck free speech, no one likes to hear they’re complicit to a genocide.

Not only that. There are whole countries participating in that disgusting shit. UK and US stayed absent from the Nagasaki memorial event because Japan had the good sense of not inviting an apartheid dictatorship.

The sad truth is that most people don’t care either. They say they do, but don’t act on it. Barely anyone stopped flying to their yearly vacation, barely anyone reduced their meat and dairy consumption, an increasing amount of people are wearing fast throwaway fashion. If the governments implemented the drastic measures we need they would be hanged by an angry mob of morons who won’t understand the dire situation until they die of a heatstroke.
