  • Congress Is Considering Abolishing Your Right to Be Anonymous Online

    Jump

  • Today, a package of a dozen “child online safety” bills is moving forward in the House of Representatives with bipartisan support. The laws, framed as a way to crack down on harmful content and make the internet safer, would force social media companies to enact invasive identity verification measures in order to keep children from accessing online spaces.

  • They Said Self-Hosting Was Hard!

    Jump

  • Yeah. Usually videos like this also make no mention of security implications and how to best secure your setup. It's part of why shodan has so many vulnerable, public facing endpoints owned by individuals.

  • Senators demand investigation after ninth American killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers in West Bank

    Jump

  • But the Americans sent to fight an illegal war were fine?

  • Amazon Down for Thousands of Users, Downdetector Reports

  • us-east, classic

  • Trump fires Kristi Noem as DHS chief, names Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her

    Jump

  • It gives Assistant (to the) Regional Manager vibes

  • Amazon Down for Thousands of Users, Downdetector Reports

    Jump

  • Probably caused by slop generators again I'm guessing

  • My enthusiasm for tech is basically gone.

    Jump

  • I would love to leave tech. Desperately. But I feel that I have no other real skills, and I have a mortgage that I need to pay and a house to maintain. I do have savings, but it would probably only last a year at best.

    I would love to do something outdoors. Like, maybe for WA state's park services. But I've heard that's super competitive and next to impossible to get into without first volunteering for years.

  • does lemmy have a chat and dms like reddit?

    Jump

  • Don't remind me..

  • do you think lemmy will ever have millions of users and niche topics or subs like reddit?

    Jump

  • I do like that Kagi has a fediverse search option.

  • Senate Rejects War Powers Resolution That Would Force Trump to End Iran Strikes

    Jump

  • That's a first, lol.

  • Iran Strikes U.S. Military Communication Infrastructure in Mideast | Satellite images show damage near vital equipment on sites in at least five countries.

    Jump

  • Jesus Christ that's a lotta dough

  • California introduces age verification law for all operating systems, including Linux and SteamOS — user age verified during OS account setup

    Jump

  • Despite signing it, Newsom issued a statement urging the legislature to amend the law before its effective date, citing concerns from streaming services and game developers about "complexities such as multi-user accounts shared by a family member and user profiles utilized across multiple devices."

    Then why the fuck did you sign it if it wasn't ready and needed amendments? Is this what you're going to do as president too?

    Rhetorical, of course. Note how he doesn't say he disagrees with the bill, just that it needed to consider family devices.

    If this is who wins the primary, we are done. We're basically already done, for sure, but him winning the primary would be the final nail in the coffin.

  • Protesters march in London against our AI overlords—demand government and corporations stop being “reckless”

    Jump

  • I agree and am on the same page. For a year or two I've wanted to leave tech (which is crazy since it's been my hobby for basically my entire life). I'd love to start a cafe, maybe get into woodworking, or something outside. The problem is that I feel like I have no practical skills outside of tech stuff.

    I've also considered starting my own tech consulting business for local companies, because at least then I'd have control over use of "AI" bullshit.

  • Trump administration designates Iran as a state sponsor of wrongful detention

    Jump

  • Wrongful detention sounds familiar

  • Block lays off nearly half its staff because of AI. Its CEO said most companies will do the same

    Jump

  • Just found it? Companies like Amazon have been doing layoffs under the guise of AI for a couple years now.

  • It Can Now Be Plainly Said: Trump Is Planning a November Coup d’État

    Jump

  • Gotta break the two party system and the electoral college for it to be feasible. I would love for that to happen.

  • New York sues video game developer Valve, says its 'loot boxes' are gambling

    Jump

  • That is literally what I'm saying, yes. I take it you have never worked on the operations side of data centers?

  • New York sues video game developer Valve, says its 'loot boxes' are gambling

    Jump

  • That is not true, they have multiple data centers. I completely disagree on the costs as well. A single high capacity switch can cost tens of thousands (of which they have probably hundreds) and that's not even mentioning storage, electricity, rack space, server cost ($$$$). The land is the cheapest part of data centers.

    Have you worked in or with a data center? It was most of my job for 6 years.

    I didn't mention Steam's cut of sales, but I do want to mention that you can refund steam games as long as you don't play them for longer than 2 hours. This is actually better than GameStop or retailers who normally only accept returns of sealed, new copies. So I'm not sure why you'd being that up when it defeats your point.

  • Americans Are Leaving the US in Record Numbers

    Jump

  • If I somehow found a way to leave, it certainly wouldn't be to Japan. They're just starting the same rise to fascism.
