Aside from a few members of the IRGC, everybody who has been paying attention for the past 40 years is celebrating. Taking out both Maduro and Khomeini over the course of a few months without a single American or Israeli casualty is peak.

Iran: We are going to get nukes at any cost and wipe Israel and the United States off the face of the earth. It is our destiny. Israel and the US: You serious? Iran: Yes. ... Iran, after being bombed to a slightly earlier point of the Stone

More AI slop, huh? Can we get rules against this or something at this point? It's every other post.

Not a fan of Google but I always find Gmail criticisms so weird. Like, what does this guy even mean about the algorithm sorting his inbox? Legit what the fuck is he talking about? Non junk mail goes to my inbox. Spam goes to spam. What am I

Even with all the debloat scripts you can’t get rid of it in places like Edge. And if your solution is to tell me to use a different browser then… exactly lol.

TIL Windows still has Notepad. Somebody should probably tell Microsoft we’ve all moved on to better things like Notepad++ (even when their update supply chain gets compromised).

People don’t use public transport for many reasons other than this, personal safety and comfort being two big ones that no amount of optimisation can fix. I’d rather get to work half as quickly if it means I don’t have to listen to a druggi

The 1Password app(s) have never been buggier or more frustrating to use. App UIs have never been more convoluted. Enshittification comes for us all, sadly, even something like this that has largely been indispensable for me and my family fo

Google deciding to willy nilly unilaterally ban my 20+ year old primary Google account is probably my greatest internet fear, given how famously awful their support is. Seems like it's the singular best example of a tech company so big

If you meet somebody mid match in a game like Valorant or Overwatch, it's simple to give them a username and they can add you and you then choose to group voice call vs inviting them to a private server, especially before you know them

It isn't siloed though, not truly - not in the way Teamspeak or Mumble used to be, at least. Discord's global friends list is what will keep people from abandoning it in droves, unfortunately, and until Teamspeak et al sort that o

What you said was a fait accompli wherein you assumed that we both share the same moral position on certain issues and you suggested that such agreement must exist for us to both be ‘ethical’. I agree any discussion about the morality of th

People don’t hate AI because they’re scared of it taking their jobs. They hate it because it’s massively overhyped while simultaneously being shoved down their throats like it’s a panacea. If and when AI, whether in LLM form or something el

Telling anybody to install third party shit to fix first party shit should have been a hint to you that what you're saying is laughable. Throwing random nonsense about 'general/keyboard' settings (that don't exist,

Actively hostile is a good way of putting in. Absolute dogshit is another no less accurate description. But I doubt Apple gives a fuck. They're too busy making promos about how much cardboard they're saving per year shipping their

You're confusing ethics with your own personal views. Ethics is a subject concerning right or wrong. It's neither subjective nor objective - it's just a particular subject encompassing particular issues. Your personal opinion

Huh? Ofc they could afford to, but they don’t. They could alo afford to if they had unlimited money, but in the latter case by definition they’d lose nothing by actually buying. Given the absurdity of the scenario and its contrivance though

My ethics are that certain people will die in certain circumstances and I’m okay with that. I also have no issues working on something that may result in a person’s death at a later stage. One example might be that if I worked on an automob

Ok? Welcome to earth. We are a violent species. Sometimes people die violently. What’s your point? Lawful killing is, by definition, legal. It’s also justified in certain situations. Disagree? Cool, so don’t work for the police or Cellebrit

If Apple had unlimited money they’d just buy the exploit makers at whatever asking price. Or they’d set exploit bounties at a price guaranteed to outbid others etc. No, just like any other company they don’t have unlimited money and my poin

I don't think democracy is the panacea you seem to think it is, but that's another issue. Certainly, cracking software for governments and the police is no less legitimate an existence and occupation as, say, working for an NGO.

Meh. It’s up to Apple to write secure software in the first place. Maybe if they spent more time on that instead of fucking over their UI in the name of something different, and less time virtue signalling, their shit would be more secure.
