  • About 500,000 trees cut down at site of Tesla gigafactory near Berlin

  • The moment I saw the topic title, I immediately thought it was old growth forest that had been felled and was preparing for the possibility that I may have to start adding links to petitions and joining the protests here, since this is something that will be very upsetting to me even though this is in Germany, not koala habitat in Australia.

    Google Maps tests new pop-up ads that give you an unnecessary detour

    Jump

  • For some reason, this got me imagining an ad causing an unnecessary detour the wrong way on a one way road and cause a head-on collision. which is going to get them hit with a class action lawsuit that could send their line graph all the way down into the ground.

  • Well, for one thing, I would want to find out if there is a way to mount a remote drive service to a drive letter on a Windows machine like Google Drive so that I can have it as a backup option that would keep my stuff privacy, and not scraped by some AI LLM.

  • I backed my car into a cop car the other day...

  • You are lucky the cop didn't get out of their car, come to your driver's side window, and point a gun at you yelling, "GET OUT OF THE F***ING CAR NOW! YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR RECKLESS VEHICLE REVERSING AND DAMAGE TO POLICE PROPERTY!", while preparing the open the door or smash the window in to pull you out by force and drag you down to the ground to arrest you.

  • Some of those errors were about the drive being full.

  • Sorry for not being more specific about what I need, I will explain it here.

    With Google Drive, it gets assigned to a drive letter on my computer which is H: here and I'm not sure if any other Drive alternatives do that or not.

    Right now, I currently pay $3 USD a month for 300 GBs of Google Drive space and they appear to go up with 5TBs for $25 USD a month and $10TBs for $50 USD a month.

    I'm not interested in One Drive as that is Microsoft's Shit.

  • Apparently, doing a sync with it just on my documents and photos, it ended up filling up the Proton Drive and giving hundreds of errors on one of my Windows 10 computers.

  • I just signed up for that just to check it out and compare it, and it looks like upgrading the storage on it is more expensive than Google Drive.

  • Mozilla roll out first AI features in Firefox Nightly

  • I'm happy that I'm already using LibreWolf.

  • I would need to see some alternates for Google Drive in that case.

  • How about "X is about to start sending everyone to Mastodon".

  • A PR disaster: Microsoft has lost trust with its users, and Windows Recall is the straw that broke the camel's back

    Jump

  • For those of you that don't know about this OS and are tired of Microsoft's bullshit, you can look into supporting ReactOS as a true Windows alternative which needs it, and you feel you want to give the middle finger to Copilot, Copilot+ PC initiative, and Windows Recall. It can even be made to look like you have went back in time to the Windows XP era with the use of a theme and yet its not Windows, and could run things that you could already run in Windows 10. If even says you can fork it on Github, meaning you could choose to labor for months using it and Linux Technology to build a better OS to replace Windows using it and Linux Technology. And if you already going going FOSS by using Libra Office instead of Microsoft Office, LibraWolf instead of Firefox, and are currently looking to FOSS for your paint program and other things you use, why not look into going FOSS with your OS as well.

  • What about sending a certified letter to the company in question stating they better reverse the idiotic decision or be prepared to face a lengthy prison sentence for it?

  • Windows just changed my desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update

  • And don't forget to filter „xitter“ as that is probably also recommended.

  • Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h

    Jump

  • While I have been reading through this topic, I have been feeling worried since I was thinking about using Cloudflare to protect a site of mine for some time. This is because I found out from somewhere that they have protection against AI LLMs scraping page data from websites, which is what I'm mainly worried about since there are things and stories that I put a lot of thought and work into. And finding out about Cloudflare shutting someone else down here over what sounds like the level of traffic has me feeling I might not be able to use them and not sure what other options there are.

  • Trump supporters try to doxx jurors and post violent threats after his conviction

    Jump

  • Well, would that be the same as someone coming on here saying "Nice federated place you got here, would be a shame if it went down. By the way, I happen to sell DDoS protection"?

  • Google Chrome’s plan to limit ad blocking extensions kicks off next week

  • I think LibreWolf is going to end up being the go-to browser at this rate.

  • Congratulations, you just identified yourself as a racist and need to understand you can't just judge someone without first getting to know them.
