Since Google is making money of everyone how about they partake in funding everyone via a universal basic income. Just a thought.
If there were a software that aught to be in control of the user (rather than the developer) then it's software running inside of you.
When things really matter all we have is conversation or violence. If our understanding of neuroscience gets good enough.. this is where violence can/will happen.
When talking trade-offs you can't just compare a combustion engine to an electric engine, you gotta consider electric public transport too. This has the bonus of pissing on Musk.
There's DRM in public trains now. It's not just cars, it's every industry with electronic device running software.
Not using a hard paywall is silly, no sympathy there. Some sympathy for when your paywalled content has been crawled for. Though not much - in this age where making copies has never been easier using force is all they can do to impose their wish of artificial scarcity.
Just don't buy any car if they all do this in the future? People need a better answer, don't find comfort in "just don't buy it".
If I own the car it's my hardware to use. If I don't own that suspension then someone needs to collect their property from my car.
That strategy repeatedly fails, companies in the same market will see it extracting more profit and start doing it too.
Perhaps not a takeover so much as a betrayal, a backstabbing? Certainly hostile to the community.
Presumably the algorithm feed will stagnate or even deteriorate if it sees you ain't watching what it's suggesting.
What suggests to you smaller ones are the most problematic?? When I think of younger people interacting online I think of big places like TikTok, I don't think of a random mastodon server.
The issue is not that a dog turned up to get a picture of their face, it's that if I have a picture of your face now I can pretend to be you. Woof.
I lose interest in DF when, after some lucky military dwarfs die in glorious combat, I have to micro manage re-adding dwarfs to squads. Is there a mod to automate adding dwarfs to squads?
I'd love it if the commander/captains would have meetings to choose a new member out of some pool of dwarfs that want to join. And also kick out unhappy, trouble-makers from the military.
+Wood mug+ engraving unrelated.
Work are chucking out a "Cisco 887VA-M" integrated services router.
Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?
I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)
When tech isn't controlled by the user: then the user is controlled by the dev, and power corrupts.
Some are born selfish and others are molded by our insistence you strive for money to survive.
