Privacy@lemmy.ml•Induction coils to track vehicles?English
6·18 hours agoUnless you’re driving a vehicle from the 20th century, the car itself is going to be tracking significantly more information than even the most nefarious possible use of something in the picture.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•What is the best mailbox overall?English
12·4 days agoIt’s so weird how any time someone mentions Signal, Proton, or other convenient privacy-focused alternatives to big tech someone on Lemmy will magically appear to say “No, don’t!”

81·4 days agoNo need to apologize! Of course I will believe you, an anonymous internet account discouraging use of a well-audited privacy service.

10·4 days agoWhat is the complaint about Proton? I feel like they went out of their way to make the transition from Google as seamless as possible.

People Twitter@sh.itjust.works•Then they share their lifestyle on tiktok for likesEnglish
93·5 days agoWell except they’re not asking poor people are they? They’re asking everybody. And it’s just an ask. If you don’t want to accommodate the request then you don’t have to, but going on the internet and publicly discouraging people from advocating for the needy just because they’re wealthy is not helping anyone, especially the needy.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Most slopcode projects are abandoned and deleted within months of releaseEnglish
102·6 days agoThere was a Ted Talk a while back (I can’t remember who) where they said “I have always wanted to give a Ted Talk… but when I got selected to do this I realized that what I really wanted was to say I had given a Ted Talk”. Meaning they want to be known as someone who had given a Ted Talk, not actually go through the process of writing and delivering the Talk.
People who write open source code do it because they like the process of writing, just like an author enjoys writing books. LLMs are for people who just want to be able to say they have written a book. People who slop-code aren’t actually interested in learning how to code. Which is a fine toy for them to play with, but not sustainable (or reliable for others to use).

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•When did we reach a point piracy has better service than paying?English
9·8 days agoYes exactly and I always consider Steam (and to a lesser degree the Kindle ecosystem), which make it obvious to me that interoperability and convenience are something consumers are willing to pay for.

Risa@startrek.website•It's probably a very good feeling. I mean, just look how happy Odo looks. English
