Technology@lemmy.world•AI companies destroy physical books — let’s scan rare books before it’s too lateEnglish
4·18 hours agoWhat if they turn around and encode all this data in crystals with advanced laser engraving aka making the information much more resilient to time and degradation? That said the sun will eventually run out of fuel and become a red giant and vaporize the Earth so putting a copy on a few other astrological bodies would be cool for the long haul.
Not for the weak of heart. If they’re not well introduced I may suggest an arch install by hand first. I wonder how like it’ll take to compile FF on that Thinkpad.

Technology@lemmy.world•Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for scraping, while Meta does it without consequenceEnglish
11·1 day agoIn short just add lots of people and many steps in the way. Killing someone is bad, releasing a product / service you know will kill lots of people is just a rounding error in business.

41·1 day agoMoral of the story never do anything as an individual by your name. Do it as a multi-billion dollar company with a battalion of lawyers and have fall guys. At minimum have an LLC controlled by a trust in someone else’s name doing anything actionable in court.
Remember companies are people even though they can’t get arrested and giving large sums of money to politicians is free speech, not bribery or corruption.

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Flock's fastest-growing business is 60 mph police drones that can read license plates from the sky
14·2 days agoWe need something like deflock to keep track of who is signing off on all of this so people can organize and vote them out. It’s a very bipartisan issue.

42·2 days agoI remember years ago an engineer for the ARGUS-IS doing like a PSA warning about all of this. The missing piece then was a systems to sift through mountains of disparate data sources to pull together a single cohesive and relevant data point.

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock OriginEnglish
2·6 days agoSooner is better then latter because they’re already losing the adoption war. An internet where web developers write their sites for chromium specifically is a bad situation and it’s happening slowly. FF needs more adoption and spins who can fit niches they don’t. FF spins just haven’t been as successful as chromium spins so far. Like waterfox vs brave.

Comic Strips@lemmy.world•but seriously this fast food situation is getting out of control [Tommy Siegel]
4·6 days agoI was more so going at this from a general point of view as it’s not just fast food apps with that behavior. In the age of data mining it’s safe to assume the vast majority of apps/services are doing this…

5·6 days agoRun everything in a sandbox ftw. Nothing touches the host ever. No apps talk to one another and you have total control of data going in and out of each sandbox.


Depends how it’s used.
