That’s what happened in Cyberpunk. Internet became garbage because of rogue AI.

The website would be better if there was also links or resources to alternate.

But also that’s hard depending on where you are.

America creates the blueprint. As they say, we are #1 (at speedrunning towards a cyberpunk dystopia)

For things before 2023, there was sexual harassment (multiple) bullying and hostile workplace and their excitement over NFT. They had a boys club and made it a really toxic atmosphere, where the CCO literally said “Women don’t sell”.

The best way from my perspective is to show them.

At tech events and meetups, I’m showing them Linux.

When my friends come over, I show them my self hosted solutions on a Linux.

At work, where we use Macs, we talk about open-source, including Linux.

Put your private citizens data on US servers?

Nah. More like giving your private citizens data to US government.

Jokes aside, a Double VPN exists, which masks your VPN with a VPN.

What does age verification mean for VPNs?

Because if I’m using a VPN using a UK server and I get any issues, I can switch to Spain, or Italy, or Zimbabwe or whatever. Is that not the case?

$68 million is chump change to Google.

This is like me getting a speeding fine for $1.

This is the cost of doing business for them.

Microsoft should replace “content sharing” with their original idea from the Zune… Squirting.

The court order, which was previously reported by TorrentFreak, was issued by Judge Michael Watson in US District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. “Plaintiff has established that Defendant crashed its website, slowed it, and damaged the servers, and Defendant admitted to the same by way of default,” the ruling said.

US court. Where is Anna’s Archive located?

Because with the state of America right now, every country should be giving the US Courts the finger. We’re pretty much a rogue nation now.

Great now I can’t unsee it.

People don’t realize how difficult it is.

Not only do you have to do a lot of feature replacement (getting off of teams and using zulip and jitsi. Getting off of outlook and using Zimbra. Using next cloud over whatever the hell Microsoft’s version is)…

You also have to deal with all the Microsoft chucklefuck IT people who never touched a command line before. The push back I had in previous companies is lazy IT folks who don’t want to learn anything their Microsoft certification didn’t teach them.

Silly question. Is Reddit still banning comments that say Lemmy?

I don’t have an account.

Yep! My windows 10 is not hooked up to a real Microsoft account. It tries to force me to create an account every few months, which I laugh at.

I made the mistake a few years ago on my win 10 gaming tower and creating an account to play Xbox live, and suddenly, I was getting that garbage one drive shit.

Dropbox has a policy about two years ago that all of your data will be shared with AI, no opt-outs.

I immediately cancelled my plan and dropped to the free service, which I use to backup photos of my poop.

Because it’s easier for these psychopaths to believe that there’s a cage of children in some random pizza restaurant basement rather than believe a billionaire has a group of children in their mcmansions.

Asbestos. Lead. Microplastics.

They’re not to blame directly, but they’re letting their shit thoughts run wild.

I was contributing to SO in 2014-2017 when my job wanted our engineers to be more “visible” online.

I was in the top 3% and it made me realize how incredibly small the community was. I was probably answering like 5 questions a week. It wasn’t hard. For some perspective, I’m making like 4-5 posts on Lemmy A DAY.

What made me really pissed was how often a new person would give a really good answer, then some top 1% chucklefuck would literally take that answer, rewrite it, and then have it appear as the top answer. And that happened to me constantly. But again, I didn’t care since I’m just doing this to show my company I’m a “good lil engineer”.

I stopped participating because of how they treated new users. And around 2020(?), SO made a pledge to be not so douchy and actually allow new users to ask questions. But that 1% chucklefuck crew was still allowed to wave their dicks around and stomp on people’s answers. So yeah, less “Duplicate questions”, more “This has been answered already [link to their own answer that they stole]”.

So they removed the toxic attitude with asking questions, but not the toxicity when answering. SO still had the most sweaty people control responses, including editing/deleting them. And you can’t grow a community like that.

Sorry, stupid question because I don’t pay attention to embedded hardware stuff. Not at all trying to be offensive or start anything. I really am ignorant.

In the software space, many FOSS run for-profit to keep the open-source version funded.

What’s different in this situation?
