artifex@piefed.ziptoMicroblog Memes@lemmy.world•Yes a "malfunctioning digital billboard"English
43·1 day agoThat would explain why everything’s getting so janky. Just waiting for the 3-finger salute now.

Technology@lemmy.world•Rogue AI agent incidents fuel push for tech transparencyEnglish
3·1 day agoCan they please “fuel a push” for indictments instead?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are your feelings about the same question being posted across multiple instances?English
14·4 days agoI use piefed (and/or my own custom lemmy app), so dupes and comments show up as merged so there’s no issue. When I post, I often try to pick a big instance (for engagement) and a small, relevant instance (to promote local)

I assume you’re using their handle and their blades? If so, have you used other blades before for comparison? I go back and forth between a disposable razor and a safety razor with feather blades, but I always go back to disposable cartridge after the novelty wears off.

1386·5 days agoConsidering how much damage Google et al do, I legitimately wonder whether China could even do worse, and I’m not even a tankie.
What most Americans call Communism and Socialism is meaningless because our leadership have been using those terms for ages to just mean “something bad”, and there’s a huge chunk of people who will simply never know any better.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•Who has the best name in the programming space?English
26·6 days agoMy vote: Moxie Marlinspike
I’d say he looks like a live-action version of Beaker from the Muppets, but I would never slander Beaker like that.
Having just dropped a kid off at college, I will tell you: the platitudes you’ve heard from others the whole time you’ve been a parent are all correct. It DOES go fast. They ARE the best times. You WILL look back on them fondly.

memes@lemmy.world•So apparently Google will SPAM your self-hosted email just cuz **** you, that's why.English
21·9 days agoYeah that’s what I’m saying. Even if you’re not using one of the big providers there’s a good chance they’re going to be at least handing it on its way to your self-hosted inbox, and its contents are unencrypted while they’re handling it (unless you encrypt the contents yourself). So there’s not much benefit to self hosting email if your goal is to keep your data out of big tech’s hands (and if that is your goal, don’t send anything important with email)

memes@lemmy.world•So apparently Google will SPAM your self-hosted email just cuz **** you, that's why.English
5·9 days agoI might be out of the loop on how email works, but doesn’t it hop between several other email servers on its way from Alice to Bob (and at least some of it must still be unencrypted)? If so and given google’s scale you could probably just assume that even if they’re not your inbox they’re going to be at least handling many if not most emails along the way.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Suggestion: Things you post are kept with you, even if it's deleted everywhereEnglish
41·10 days agoIf you’re being fediverse-specific you could set up your own instance, federate with everything, and have it save only the content you’ve interacted with. It’s a pretty narrow archive so it wouldn’t be too resource intensive. And if you’re techy it wouldn’t be too hard* to write a native activitypub client that did only this if you were active on eg lemmy and mastodon and pixelfed
- for certain definitions of “too hard”

PC Master Race@lemmy.world•PBS broadcaster loses access to 50TB of data comprising 70 years of TV history after contracted cloud storage vendor goes defunct — public TV channel sues Iron Mountain data center, which hosts archi…English
57·12 days agoThe data is all still there. They were using a subcontractor (who went under) that stored the data at Iron Mountain. Since the subcontractor was the customer and not PBS, PBS needs a judge to declare that they own the data so they can retrieve it from Iron Mountain.
Still, 3,2,1, folks.
Probably not. My kids are all monotonic.
Well yeah, otherwise they’d be called judgegullos.













But also more anxiety, shorter attention spans, and brain rot.
