You would think with the widespread adoption of EVs, the global demand for gasoline and diesel would drop affecting proves everywhere. That overall drop should technically mean the US is buying gas cheaper and therefore become more affordable for everybody, yet our prices are climbing back up. Excuses to raise prices.

Then I read yesterday or Monday that oil companies’ profits- wait hold on- PROFITS were something to the tune of $93b since the “war” started. Sounds like some more stupid excuses why we’re all broke; while another article I read said “super yacht sales are booming” hmmmmm… Wonder why!

Clearly there’s so much corruption it’s overwhelmingly difficult to connect all the dots to put these guys in prison!!! At least anyone reading should be able to connect the dots on who those guys are.

That looks like some AI pistol too. I’ve never seen anything resembling that style. They used to be flint style but here that doesn’t exist. Barrel is way to short for its supposed age. Idk that that finger hold is either… There’s so much wrong with this.

So does Copilot and Microsoft Copilot 365. I enforce GPOs to ban/remove them, and every couple Windows updates, it reinstalls, and each next day I see my alerts pop up they’re back.

We’re catering too much to the auto industry at this point, it’s a stranglehold on the market. Instead of holding these massive companies accountable (coughkiahyundaicough) with theft issues and lacking security systems, now just install kill stitches on everything, and have additional ways to monitor citizens since it’ll be always connected smh.

Oh no… Is it? I figure they’re some small start up from Indiana so hopefully might be more trustworthy. The base model doesn’t even have a modem!

Edit: FUCK ME you’re right. Bezos funded them so he could compete against Tesla. Jfc. I’m not buying one, ever then.

The same with those Fire TVs auto updating without a network connection, I’m assuming it’s using some sort of LoRa radio technology so they’re able to still transmit data whether you like it or not! I noticed it on our conference room TV, not hooked up internet at all, but I noticed the fire TV ads were updating. I blocked it on our network via mac address just in case, but I read up on it, and they use a “proprietary technology” so the TV’s can still update.

LoRa or WiFi HaLow is my guess since you don’t mess a license like HAM, it’s low power, inexpensive, etc. Would not be surprised one bit if Amazon is secretly listening without public knowledge. (Maybe too tinfoil hat ish)

Edit 2: what’s worse, Slate swapped in a former Amazon exec to be the new CEO. Fucking doing sorry already before even releasing 1 vehicle. They’re NOT trustworthy IMO. Maybe they won’t have a modem in the base model, but they’re probably counting on people opting for technology, and they’ll still likely get financial data through the sales process that Bezos and Amazon can capitalize on. There will definitely be some sort of data brokering involved!

I wish I had the money to start an open source auto company. Like slate, but with more options.

Dude! Right?! It works so well while remaining pretty trustworthy. I added Privacy badger and port authority at the recommendation of EFF and Firefox extension store ratings, just to have it that much more secure. I especially love blocking Lexis Nexis port scanning!

Thanks, I forgot to remove everything after the URLs

I skimmed the comments and didn’t catch this, but don’t forget about all the PRIVATE EQUITIES buying up nursing home facilities, banking on SSI, Medicare and Medicaid funding, upcharging perscriptions, “maximizing efficiencies” (aka paying as little wages as possible), and the revolving door of customers…

Exactly. Could someone get bad information? Yes. If mine is wrong and I don’t know yours is right, if the database was shared/redundant, you’d make corrections to your which would update mine too.

This sounds stupid, no offense. Because Lemmy has people post the same articles across multiple communities, so on ibish, are there going too be dozens of duplicate articles and then huge gaps for other topics??

I think ibis would be beneficial if there “central” database would act more like a RAID of storage where petiole could commit storage space to a redundant database. Make it like a raid 0 but of you had 100 contributors, it would gain additional redundancy for stability and accessibility. It’s be like 25 “copies” or pools in raid 1 with another 25 in raid 0 to make 50 each or 100 total if that makes sense.

That would create a highly available database as if there are servers worldide or nationwide.

Guess I’ll not donate now

Oh I’m not expecting anything to actually happen that way, and even if it did, that’d be temporary until the platform gets adopted enough to be valuable; then you get vendor lock-in.

Cool, would only be interested in old school Myspace with no trackers, crawlers, or loads of BS that companies try to monetize data in every single possible aspect.

If you use* an XMPP client like Jabber, Prosody, or Snikket, I believe you can set do not keep messages on server and they expire. However, I don’t think they expire once viewed. Maybe like 24hr.

Unless you’re looking for a private front end or something like a 3rd party client? Snap blocked those years ago when people figured out how* to screenshot without alerting the sender.

Fixed spelling errors

Probably because 99%of politicians are geriatric men.

It would be astronomically expensive, wasteful, and expensive (yes twice).

Got a server rack damaged? Are the IT going up to fix it or astronauts? What kind of training would there need to be? What about upgrades? What about waste or recycling of old equipment? Do you just eject out into space wasting all the precious resources??

It’s a completely stupid thought that they hoped sounded cool, but it’s not really beneficial in any way

I used to eat a 16" large “thin crust” by myself.

Not to mention he spread rumors he was leaving the company to tank its value to then buy out the Dodge Bros for pennies on the dollar.

I just finished the docuseries lol
