  • Spyware firm cuts Italy access after alleged targeting of activists - reports

    Jump

  • They're so unethical even an Israeli spyware company refuses to do business with them. That's almost impressive.

  • Google Messages preps deleting sent RCS messages 'for everyone'

    Jump

  • I was thinking how often it's used for business purposes. (There's already case law about emojis)

  • UK: Authorities must be on high alert for transnational repression over China protest, rights group warns

    Jump

  • They're too busy arresting people protesting Israel's genocide

  • Why is OCR for handwritten content still that bad?

    Jump

  • I tried it a while ago out of desperation to read handwriting I couldn't read at all, that's why I thought to try it.

  • Honestly, between this and not all the modules being open source I would personally avoid it, seen too many projects openbait and then go "open core".

  • There is even more to the Google Pixel 4a's horrific battery update than we thought

    Jump

  • I think they are offering to replace the affected batteries.

  • I just asked chatGPT to transcribe it and it said

    The handwritten text in the image says:

    "Dimer stabilization free energies were also determined from thermodynamic integration (TI, see methods), which provide a direct validation of the MM-GBSA results."

    There was a post on HN recently about using LLMs for OCR. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42952605

  • School phone bans don't boost grades or wellbeing, study suggests

    Jump

  • Head teacher Ian Gerrard says while bullying hasn't been "completely eradicated", the pouches have created "a safe space within school"

    Has it reduced bullying, or just the ability to document it?

  • The home page of my $1700 smart TV has a full page ad about watching ads

    Jump

  • I'd honestly return it as faulty. Preloaded adware shouldn't be acceptable.

  • Someone intentionally drove their vehicle into my home

    Jump

  • Are you okay? How bad is the damage? Are the police doing anything?

    If you've pissed someone off that much all I can suggest is bollards and/or a ditch around your property. You shouldn't need fortifications like that but it seems you do.

  • Their guide still implies that you need to pay a fee to unlock an API key before you can flash a new firmware.

    How they plan to enforce that fee to unlock an API key when the firmware is supposedly open source I don't know. When I looked over the source code it looked like it was being written to a log.

  • It has been well over 24 hours since this shit started. No reply from admins anywhere

  • Mander doesn't defed either, which is why I chose it.

  • Public Firehose Project Shutters After Backlash

    Jump

  • Are mastodon users stupid or just on a which hunt

    Yes

  • Which project would be best for a local community hub?

    Jump

  • Pretty sure lemmy can have the defaults set to local only, so you can keep the federation on, but by default local users only see local stuff.

  • Mastodon and witchunts, name a more iconic duo.

  • Webcam on/off: workplace vs political spaces

    Jump

  • webcams demand you to be presentable

    Ateast half of you, lol. Zoom has built in filters that help with this. Also sitting further away from the webcam, using a diffusion filter, and/or just using a really bad webcam can help.

    and make your space presentable.

    Background blur and virtual backgrounds help here.

  • Lemmy.ml and its moderation, am I getting something wrong?

    Jump

  • Open source has a definition that has been agreed for nearly two decades, some billionaire doesn't get to redefine it because of his personal feelings.

    The FSF has a list of licenses, but they specifically label the non-free ones and state they shouldn't be called free software.

  • Lemmy.ml and its moderation, am I getting something wrong?

    Jump

  • Yeah, Rossman getting in bed with people that are deliberately trying to dilute the meaning of open source really killed my opinion of him.
