I've never felt inclined to use TikTok. I've always kept my online presence psuedo-anonymous, all the way back to AOL days. I don't use Meta products at all. The day TikTok is banned I will create an account and post a video

I'm in the middle of a free trial for the Workspace Gemini add-on. It really, really sucks. I've played around with having it make tables for Sheets and it frequently gets confused or responds with ~"I can't do that, I&#

Has slashdot started showing ads in the last 48 hours for anyone else using Firefox and ublock on Android? It was a very weird experience to see an ad on my phone for the first time in over a decade. My brain kinda froze and took a second t

I also mentioned personal choice and responsibility. If someone doesn't want to change, why should we attempt to force them? It's not likely to have the effect you desire. I think the "all it takes is a government ban" m

Bans cost money to enforce, while diminishing personal choice and responsibility. Why not spend that money on education instead? I've not had an ad in my home or on my mobile devices for well over a decade, and I've spent exactly

Israel's official X account tweeted that they consider US students protesting Israel's actions in Gaza to be terrorists. So it is apparently incredibly easy to become the enemy of Israel without breaking any laws or hurting anyone

The NSA fights terrorism. Terrorists use encryption to evade the NSA. That does not mean that everyone who uses encryption is a terrorist.

Are you talking about the IDF's indiscriminate bombing of civilians in Gaza?

Voice of America is a US government propaganda outlet that was barred from broadcasting directly to US citizens until the Smith-Mundt Act was amended in 2013. VoA is the primary source for this article.

Back in the 90's, VW cancelled a friend's warranty after the service center found he had replaced his valve stem caps with ones that matched the color of his car's paint. So yes, I can imagine.
