  • 'Help is on its way,' Trump tells Iranians as he urges them to keep protesting

    Jump

  • I've seen videos of Americans grappling with this during interviews at ICE protests from this weekend. Some of them are getting pushed to their limits.

    Understandably, though, people generally don't want to hurt others. So it's going to take a while before people start breaking down to that outcome. I think everyone just hopes something will change before push comes to shove.

  • AMD and Nvidia are talking about local AI, good news for PC gamers and memory prices

    Jump

  • Yeah thats true! I hope that the world shifts towards that rather than what most people have been doing.

  • The Case for Sticking Around

  • Only the fascists and the willfully ignorant want Alberta to separate.

  • Trump’s Terrifying New Security Doctrine Turns Canada into a Target

    Jump

  • Only the most brain dead Albertans think Trump is a good thing. They would still lick boot too. I would be surprised if any of them actually came to the surprised Pikachu conclusion lol

  • AMD and Nvidia are talking about local AI, good news for PC gamers and memory prices

  • The only way I would be comfortable with Ai is if I could craft it myself, run it locally, and prevent it from feeding bullshit results, was energy efficient, could prevent it from phoning home, wasn't built off of stolen data and also didn't give profit to big companies

  • France seeks to ban social media for children under 15

    Jump

  • First I think it depends on what we are considering kids. I was online from age 8 but didn't get into online games or communities until about 10. But in the case of the law, they're often saying anything below 15, 16 or 18 etc. It depends on the country/jurisdiction.

    There are lots of places kids can find community. When i was a kid I was playing on neopets, club penguin, old school runescape, guild wars. I made friends with people from all over the place. One of my best friends in my youth is from across the continent, and we have been friends for 20 years now.

    I think the bottom line is parents should parent. When I was a kid the PC was in the main room. My parents spoke to me frequently about staying safe online and asked me about what I was doing on the PC. They made sure I was only accessing kid appropriate sites and that I wasn't getting myself into trouble.

    Could I have gotten in trouble? Yeah possibly. I also could have gotten kidnapped at the local park

  • I wish union work was more common place. It seems where I live unions are mostly for blue collar work and less common than I would hope to see.

  • IDC warns PC market could shrink up to 9% in 2026 due to skyrocketing RAM pricing — even moderate forecast hits 5% drop as AI-driven shortages slam into PC market

  • I just got a new pc back in February and I'm kicking myself for not buying more storage and ram

  • France seeks to ban social media for children under 15

    Jump

  • Whenever this comes up, it feels like a play to harvest people's data and / or to slip additional laws into place under the guise of "protect the children".

    On one hand I don't think it's terrible to try to guide kids more. I think parents should be doing more parenting tbh. If a parent wants to put parental locks in place, they can. Even blocking specific sites from being accessed entirely. I think the bigger issue is people don't understand how to use computers so they think there's nothing they can do lol.

    On the other I think it runs the risk of preventing kids from accessing information online, finding safe spaces online, and isolating kids more than they already can be. It also limits things like teaching kids about technology and how to use it safely.

  • Journalists convinced a AI Vending Machine Things to give them free stuff like a PS5

    Jump

  • The vending machine from cyberpunk was pretty cool but this seems like its cognitively challenged ancestor lol.

    I'm getting really tired of AI everything. So far AI hasn't seemed to make my life any easier or better. I have to try and over analyze everything I see now which isn't fun. But yeah. Wish it would actually do something for me instead of make some billionaires richer.

  • how's your week going, Beehaw

    Jump

  • I'm fortunate that I can take a week off next week. Just hoping I can get my current work done so that I can mentally try to eject any thoughts of anything for a week haha.

    They fired a coworker last week. And i'm likely going to have to move houses sometime come spring because costs keep increasing faster than my salary.

    I've been making some acquaintances with people online and they seem nice. It's been cool to meet new people.

    I've been wanting to maybe get a pocket operator because the idea of making music on a little device that i can take with me sounds like fun. But I've heard some conflicting reviews. The prices feel a little steep.

  • Age Verification Is Coming For the Internet. We Built You a Resource Hub to Fight Back.

    Jump

  • I've been personally wondering about these laws. I am thankfully in a place that doesn't require them yet. But I assume that some asshole somewhere is going to want our data and say "wow that sounds like a great idea."

    My assumption is that i would feed false data to bypass if possible and then say fuck it and not use whatever service it is if I don't really need to use it. If I do need to use it and have no choice, then I guess I'm SOL and will have my data breached at some point because none of these services seem to know how to lock down their shit properly.

    Sorry for the frustration lol. I just think this kind of thing is stupid and a way to steal info or watch people. I don't think this is genuinely about safety or helping children. Especially with the latter it always seems governments throw in a bundle of laws along side any "protect the kids" laws so that they can fly under the radar while screwing people over.

  • I do wonder what comes next for average people. I used to think a UBI would solve the world's problems, but now I believe it would be just used as a method of controlling the general population. We're a ways off yet from everything being replaced by this garbage, but when the time comes, I'm nervous about what will happen.

  • I wana see how this plays out. NYC is an experiment that I can't wait to see pan out. I really hope things change for the better there. It might spur action elsewhere.

  • I've read this is what many companies are telling staff that have to travel as well.

    It'll certainly be my plan if I ever end up going back someday
