I always see these lists of "clear signals" they know exactly what is normal... and I often emit at least half of them, companies deserve all the deception they get

Yeah, and the only way to get government to learn about why e2ee is important is to show them that if law enforcement can get it, then so can hackers/phishers. We need as many politicians dark secrets hacked and ousted as possible. It

Nah, they would just enshittify like everyone else. This world is trash. The only hope is it pisses off enough people for them to contribute to some open competitor, the circle of softwarelife

That actually sounds like a good idea for a technical support app: The only interaction possible is they can tell you the problem, then you can give them a list of things to try, and they can do nothing but give feedback on each step, in or

The problem is how hard this version of capitalism pushes toward pure exploitation. If there were REAL open markets with plenty of information for both sides, then it would be common place for employees to be very honest about taking less m

"it is not actionable" Yeah this part really sucks, top of the line premium journalism leads to something like the Panama papers... no consequences whatsoever. So we get to know the world is shit, but nothing will be done about it

If you think for one second they are going to do "students night" where students can actually afford to eat... instead of milk every last cent of extra profit from every eye twitch and craving glare then you have no idea how capit

They can't say it replaces a computer until it does full generic computing. Until then it replaces a monitor maybe. Come on people, full 3d world where there are pipes representing all the IPC and network connections, random arbitrary

Its all about the security theatre. If they really have "more cameras than anywhere else" and if that even mattered, then its already covered. It would be orders of magnitude cheaper to put cameras in every single room, with a big

Is there any comprehensive list of all their contracted work? such as the rabbit device?

The exact use case is if you have to deploy slightly customized windows installs on a daily basis. You know you need it when you have a document that details all the steps in setting up windows itself and a couple of common softwares. Then

When you read shit this blatent, it all snaps into place so clearly. You can just twist anything to mean anything for each political cycle. Where are the headlines: Meta collected Department of justice romantic and pornography habits. Googl

What an infuriating website, popups over everything, the first time it even had some badly sized type into this... with no way to close or move it off half the screen

They imply, without saying it fully, that someone should have already known the update would bork the world, but failed to see it for some incompetent reason

But there is a difference between seeing a highly publicized and pervasive media push that there is a huge list of things you must already be good at... vs casually starting a relationship and learning along the way you must do all these th

Actually they may not have a choice, since they have forced people to install their local windows with a Microsoft login, and tying bitlocker to this login, there is probably many situations out there that requires microsoft login supported

Funny you mention only "important peoples bank accounts" Because if they just wiped all the poor peoples accounts that would be enough for complete internal revolt

Layering is absolutely possible, but more at the network layer than the individual computer layer. Minimal software and OS running on linux as a layer between any windows/whatever and internet connectivity. Minimize and control the exa

This exists and is called encryption. Give the key out to people you want to read it. If anyone can read it, AI is going to read it wether your feelings like it or not

I personally wont ever be interested in VR until it has "generic computing" as a major feature. like automatically creating a 3d world showing pipes as your internet connections, some kind of switches and buttons and things as eve

Technology born of capitalism is destined to be bug ridden hellscape: I currently have a yeti microphone on windows 11, i believe due to old/missing drivers pre-company resale, it constantly unmutes itself. Randomly crashing and defaul

Anyone who doesn't recognize that LLMs main usefulness to corporations is censorship at the base information level is very behind the times "oh wow this is so easy, we can filter all our requests through this .gov model and not ha

This kind of thing is important to consider, and could really change the world for the better in terms of more reliable world... Should we consider adding "user suggestion" as a feature to all APIs whenever possible? Clients could
