Why is it people only care about digital privacy when it effects someone in a negative was like this.

For me the basic concept that someone can sell you something with the ability out of the box to do that and whatever else they want to do with it worries me and makes me want no part of it

As I Linux user I can't wait for the flood of cheap perfectly good hardware from these idiots

"But 3rd party repair people will install TikTok on your phone if you trust them"

Honesty I'm a little bit concerned if they swich Macs as that will be a pretty good indicator of how resistive to OLED burn in modern panels are. A device you scroll social media and watch videos on is one thing. But for a lot of people you will have the same static elements on screen for hours at a time on a laptop or desktop.

Well honesty it would be kinda amusing to watch apple have to give out a bunch of free oled panels if lot's of people get bad burn in.

Yeah no. Smartphones have ruined our mental health and privacy enough I can't even imagine what an implant would do to us.

Just why.

Seriously why does it seem over the last 15 years public toilets are becoming rarer it's a mystery to me. Like the world population is growing a lot and we pay more taxes then ever, but it's harder to relieve yourself in public then ever.

And now businesses are trying to monetize the few toilets in public we still have.

Or they shove it into a bill about something completely different like feeding homeless children so they can attack you and call you a terrible person when you oppose the bill.

It's not purely talent that allows them to make this kind of stuff. Otherwise people outside of these agencies would be making this stuff too. It's also the fact the CIA or any of the others can go to apple for example and get all of the information on how these chips are made and the firmware on them, then put the company under a gag order.

It is silly to assume the governments hackers are any better then a good hacker that doesn't work for them. And you need to realise that their advantages come from legal power, resources, and lesser regulations on research.

Because a lot of silly conspiracy theories seem to stem from people believing that the government are somehow superior beings, when the only thing that makes them different from anyone else is power.

For me it's always been a dumb argument. There is no good argument for not having one

• It costs maybe £2 to add a crappy DAC, amp, and headphone jack to a phone that is already ridiculously expensive.

• The waterproof argument was destroyed by the S5, S6, S7, S8, and S9.

• The iPhone 7 literally had the space inside for one!

It's also weird to me that a lot of budget phones have them. Like why would a £200 phone have a feature a £1,000+ phone doesn't?

It looks like one of those soulless Apple animoji things.

1. It feels great
2. Terminal programs run on a potato
3. They are almost always way more powerful then their GUI counterparts
4. They integrate with scripts and other tools for unlimited power and flexibility!
5. You feel like a hacker man
6. Your IT literate friends think you are cool
7. You can really do things your own way

So yeah I love using the terminal for almost everything

Wow another parent who doesn't parent what their kids do online. And then blames corpos for it, and even tries to get the UK taxpayer to pay for it. Sure roaming charges are ridiculous, but I don't even really ever travel and I know that.

I do find the super key really useful actually, for binding hotkeys for my window manager. But a key for some voice assistant is really dumb.

No way to opt out. How about leave

Why do people care so much what these CEOs think. Like outside of how they might change the laws to do with their industry they are in, why do people care so much about and hang on everything they say and do, doesn't innovation come from thinking differently and not just doing it because a successful CEO said so. Take games for example has a random Minecraft, flappy bird, or among us clone ever been as successful as the original. Honesty it just brothers me. Especially the Elon Musk worshippers.

My question is how is an AI reading a bunch of articles any different from a human doing it. With this logic no one would legally be able to write an article as they are using bits of other peoples work they read that they learnt to write a good article with.

They are both making money with parts of other peoples work.

Dude this would kill the only reason I ever visit this site.

And nothing of value was gained

It all depends on the licence. Even if you buy something on physical media you may not technically own it. If something has a FOSS licence MIT, BSD, GPL, etc Then yes you do own your copy and no one can change that.

That looks epic!

Please add the ability to view images with an external image viewer as I find a lot of social TUI apps seem to lack that.

Add that and you're making my ideal Lemmy client

It's the best for a primary OS, but unfortunately you if you make apps or desktop programmes you will probably still need a windows machine, or a Mac, or both. For me I have a windows VM and an old modded mac for those OS's.

Though interestingly probably the best machine for cross platform development would be a new-ish tri booted intel Mac with Linux as your main OS.

Edit: just for the record I use a Thinkpad T430 as my main work computer.

• removes and mostly disables firmware level spyware
• runs spyware OS

Why can't we just better educate people on how to avoid online scams. Oh wait that wouldn't give the government an excuse to legislate another part of our lives into oblivion.

And it's funny how suddenly we are having all these terrorist problems it's like something else is causing it, but once again solving it probably doesn't benefit the government.

Can't wait for the civvie11 video on this

Ah another company ruining the company they just acquired

I mean if you're sharing your whole life out there for everyone to see under your real identity, then I can't really get mad at anyone for looking at it. I mean it's just there for anyone to see whether on Facebook or Mastodon.

Privacy is half the way governments and companies behave, and half you as an individual take precautions to protect yourself.

Why is this whole platform obsessed with twitter. I thought people came here to get away from mainstream social media, not hang on every little detail of how a rich dude mismanages his latest purchase.

I think it's a good move. It doesn't take anything away from people who want to keep compiling everything, but now people on especially old laptops can enjoy the distro too.

Though I will probably continue being a void user this makes me want to use gentoo more then it did before.

But yeah the way development tools like git just integrate perfectly into the OS is amazing, and the way you can get tools and libraries just by asking your package manager for them is invaluable.

I wonder if this effects coreboot builds like heads as they allow you to use external devices like a nitrokey for verification when you boot

Didn't they get at least the kernel running on a Nintendo 64

Is anyone going to bring up the fact they told everyone 10 was the last version of windows. Then they launched 11 and are now talking about 12.

I know companies lie all the time, but we can at least call them out on it

Isn't the problem that they are using ARM hardware. Like sure your x86 emulator can be good, but if you look at something like proton it's taken years for it to get good. And that's not even a different CPU architecture. So apple would have to make a wine equivalent, a DKVK, equivalent, and a really great X86 emulator if that's even possible on current gen hardware.

Somehow I don't see them catching up with Linux gaming.

It's not the thinnest thing ever, but I find my old ThinkPad X230 very light and easy to use for extended periods on my lap

Hopefully they don't pick internal systems that lock the train if you take it to a 3rd party repair business😆

Honestly makes me a tiny bit sad I deleted my account with a few post rewards, but I see it for what it is. An incentive to keep users on a platform that treats them poorly. You wouldn't stay with an abusive partner just because they keet giving you nice stuff. They're still an abusive partner at the end of the day.

Edit: spelling( I'm on a phone)

Wouldn't it only be trained on a specific keyboard though, as anyone in the Mechanical keyboard community knows every keyboard sounds different. And that doesn't even account for age, condition(dust, how many crisps have you eaten over your keyboard, etc).

So I highly doubt this could be effective beyond possibility being trained to work with a certain type of laptop. 16 inch MacBook Pros for example.

Nextcloud, after setting it up it gives me everything I love about Google and Apple's cloud services without the privacy invasion or any of the other cons. And I even find it more stable and less buggy. 10/10

On a different note how do these big companies train AI's to detect CSAM without using a bunch of illegal CSAM to train it?
