Sounds like naked people in a cage wondering about which is more dangerous: the leopard or the lion.

Top three are:

1. Discourse
2. Rocket.chat
3. Matrix

In my view, security isn’t a feature, it’s a design choice.

I have no ill wishes towards Stoat, but I’ve never seen a developer convincingly implement security after the fact.

The episode is Shut Up and Dance, where a kid gets blackmailed into committing (more) crimes because a hacker had evidence of him with CSAM .

Visio is also a common French word for videoconference.

That would be like making a phone app called Phone, and Samsung trying to claim copyright because they call their app Phone, too.

I’ve never thought a custom ROM sounded shady.

To me it was always, “we only have vanilla or chocolate on the menu, but if you’re willing to risk bricking your phone, you can get cookies and cream.”

I picked cookies and cream.

My main takeaway is that I will keep this method next year. I believe that students are confronted with their own use of chatbots. I also learn how they use them. I’m delighted to read their thought processes through the stream of consciousness.

Like every generation of students, there are good students, bad students and very brilliant students. It will always be the case, people evolve (I was, myself, not a very good student). Chatbots don’t change anything regarding that. Like every new technology, smart young people are very critical and, by defintion, smart about how they use it.

The problem is not the young generation. The problem is the older generation destroying critical infrastructure out of fear of missing out on the new shiny thing from big corp’s marketing department.

it’s far better than any other option we currently have.

We have the Fediverse. Brother, you’re literally on it right now.

“Enormous enthusiasm” for AI should be a fireable offense.

They’re working on a non-Google alternative, last I heard.

For the most part, it’s believed that carmakers are doing way with Android Auto support simply as a way to expand their control over user data. Because Android Auto utilizes your phone’s connection, all of the data that runs through it goes straight to Android and the phone manufacturer. So, by utilizing built-in systems, the car manufacturers would indeed be able to collect more data about how you use the systems in place, while also possibly getting more money out of you through subscriptions.

You are unfortunately correct.

Depending on where you look, Grindr CEO George Arison’s net worth is $20–80 million.

He joins a growing list of gay executives hell-bent on proving that enshittification isn’t just for the straights.

To Torvalds, Chromebooks “are the path toward the desktop.”

What does he mean by this?

I struggle to believe Chromebooks will meaningfully contribute to more people adopting Linux, because Google is more interested in getting people to adopt Google instead.

Simone reminds me of the class perspective: musicians here behave like atomized small owners, caught in their enterprecarity, who (legitimately) ask for some defense of their property rights, attacked both by hackers and by the big monopolists of platforms and AI. Because from these property rights, in this case IP, comes a rent, and from this rent, independent artists and label owners try to make a living. Again, right or wrong, this is what’s happening.

I remember reading somewhere that independent artists make basically no money from Spotify.

Is that still true, or have creators found a way to claw back value from the platform, and that’s why they’re defending it?

I agree that the (primary) problem is the state.

We’re talking about surveillance in the context of a surveillance empire, not just cops having bodycams (that they they can turn off at will).

Surveillance at scale is like giving a chronic pain patient a freezer full of fentanyl.

With perfect discipline, it’s not a problem. It’s effective pain medication that they’ll only use when they need it.

They will always find excuses to “need” it.

After all, why not?

This is how people justify surveillance states.

What you actually get is “accountability for thee, none for me”, because people with power get to turn the cameras off whenever they want.

Just look at !Epsteinfiles@lemmy.world to see how easy for people with money and power to [REDACTED].

We don’t need (state) surveillance (on citizens).

We need (citizen) surveillance (on the the state).

Thanks for the transcrip and the tl;dr.

What is punycode?

We even had a huge reminder with V for Vendetta, but maybe that was too subtle.
