Do you genuinely think the folks who “gambled” really understood the implications? How many random mailers have you gotten asking to switch to a random third party provider because “it’s better for the env” or will “save money”?

I mean I’ll grant you California is a shitshow but it’s been a shitshow since republicans got on their knees for Enron in the 90s and literally hasn’t recovered. How about Florida, which has been a red state for 80% of the last 30 years, low regulation, but instead of building new power they are keeping nukes going well past their service life? Abundant sun. Abundant wave power. They have the fucking entire European heating system right off the coast.

Your measure of corruption is what now? How many new things are built regardless of their need or what impacts they may have?

Very…unique standpoint.

I think they mean “the same forces that led to the grid collapsing every few years – prioritizing profit above all else, and the government giving zero fucks-- are the same forces which trigger new development to be in renewables with zero regulation or oversight”

Conservatives always write about their broken-clock-right-twice successes in a similar way.

He’s rich and hires youth to rob them of their youth. None of them will ever unionize either, they think they are the lucky ones.

I suppose that’s all true, I’d say more “following apples lead on locking things down” than over engineered, but 🍅🍅.

I find myself avoiding the whole root business, I do want my mobile device to be fairly locked down. But I also use alternative OSs and app stores to avoid 90% of the garbage (stuff I can’t avoid I put in work profile, like I still need google maps).

It works for me, but on the front of this complexity driving away devs I don’t really see a viable alternative. Base Linux isn’t secure enough for what we put on these little computers. I mean you’ve still got tons of influential people arguing you shouldn’t use secureboot or a tpm as if leaving your whole computer unsecured is better than the indignity of using a non-free bios.

I don’t know the point of the first paragraph…scams are bad? Yes? Does anyone not agree? (I guess scammers)

For the second we are talking in the wild abstract, so I feel comfortable pointing out that every automated system humanity has come up with so far has pulled in our own biases and since ai models are trained by us, this should be no different. Second, if the models are fallible, you cannot talk about success without talking false positives. I don’t care if it blocks every scammer out there if it also blocks a message from my doctor. Until we have data on consensus between these new algorithms and desired outcomes, it’s pointless to claim they are better at X.

What’s over engineered about it?

Yes, absolutely, and regularly, and without shame.

But not usually about technical stuff.

Why do you need machine learning for detecting scams?

Is someone in 2025 trying to help you out of the goodness of their heart? No. Move on.

graphene folks have a real love for the word misinformation (and FUD, and brigading). That’s not you under there👻, Daniel, is it?

After 5 years of his antics hateful bullshit lies, I think I can genuinely say that word triggers me.

Yep

Welcome to the future

I’m never trolling about Linux. On Lemmy there are so many cultists that you can say the most innocuous things and it will be downvoted to oblivion or deleted for “trolling”. Maybe you don’t like calling it a cult but I get more downvoted for negative comments about Linux than other people do when they literally say Nazi things.

And then you get people like this…I mean what kind of broken prejudiced brain do you have to have to think this comparison is ok?

Oof you’re comparing government suppression of entire classes of people to linux’ failure to attract developers to the platform… How do you not realize you’re in a cult???

You clearly have the context since you said you’re not American. But to spell it out the context is america electing these people. There’s news articles if you really care, none of us need to spend our time hand feeding you a summary.

Not more options, you want your option to win.

Well this is funny sex humor

Not romance

This is the same thing TV shows figured out ages ago: you give people a flirty relationship and it’s generally fun to watch. You turn that flirting into an actual relationship and it’s boring + usually some fan service where the authors of the show try to get their female coworkers as naked as they can be manipulated into getting. And then they always need to make that same female coworker get pregnant and force her to fake giving birth.

Tldr it doesn’t matter what the fans want, authors are fucking pervs.

Does that exist?

Every app is a bundle of a full website and spyware.

that is your takeaway? You’re part of a cult if that’s really how you think.

As long as you remember that the cloud is just someone else’s computer that they have admin rights on.
