Heyhey, I want a kW-(rain)water cooled tower, speak for yourself! :D

What went wrong before that we didn’t need them? Why now, to build datacenters?

I see no difference between the book as a tool or any other tool. They all get worn, you can only use one copy at once…maybe the difference is that you will recurrently need specific tools…but reference books were like that too (replaced by the internet). But I guess that is why dictionaries were not lent, at least at my local lib.

Just go to https://www.inaturalist.org/ or install the inaturalist app and you’ll have a pretty good guess of what this is.

Could be a lesson to fossil backers: back an unpredictable clown and you may end up worse than the alternative.

Sir…they got to our bellybutton…it’s over :(

Because companies start with engineering, then move focus to marketing and finally move to finance, at which point what are they even doing anymore. Just let them die.

Food 'n Stuff ^TM

haha, I knew this would be here somewhere…

But the quote itself admits that the consumers here are the advertisers, it is natural that the users have little say. The users are being milked/harvested/herded/served to the consumers

So we always assume passwords were unsalted? Or can they also brute force salts?

But they are making it harder to have products too.

Reported for being awesome.

Awesome, monetization of enshittification.

Hahaha, I wasn’t expecting the future to be elderly people walking around high as kites :D but sounds fun

Thanks, I edited the headline to make it clearer, but this community is overrun with confidently incorrect folks.

Depends on the country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personality_rights in shithole countries you don’t.

Depends. You have image rights. Those may not be relevant to people taking pictures…but they are relevant to databases collecting info on you.

Yeah, I agree that decentralization of the grid and self-consumption is better than these mass baseload solutions…but they will only get cheaper.

I disagree. If you have thousands of these and some program live cross-matching and correlating everything about everyone, it is a different problem from “being seen in public” or even traditional street cameras. Before, they could investigate a limited number of people, so they had to focus on suspects and a case. Now they just mass trawl everyone’s lives simultaneously.
