"See, on this diagram, that part of the global population represents the users we can legally identify, because they’re not minors.

_ So, who’s in the rest of the diagram?..

_ This is a mystery to everybody."

X used self-destruct.

Yes, so much yes. I’ve got that on mine too, and it’s a pain. it has very small, close “buttons” too, setting the temperature is an exercise in accuracy, when it reacts at all.

And yes, the tiniest drop of water fucks everything up completely.

Capacitive buttons on anything are annoying, they’re unreliable as fuck. They might trigger with the slightest accidental touch, but then they’ll act like your finger doesn’t exist for a dozen pushes.

Bright colour on dark background makes sense IMO.

This, however :

My 80’s computer was (by default) bright yellow text over bright blue background.

It probably sounds quite bad. It was. You could change that with a few commands but you’d have to do it each time you boot the thing, and I didn’t bother, it was “normal” to me.

That didn’t prevent young me from spending hours copying lines of BASIC code from magazines, but it was tiring. Nowadays I’m just like, seriously, who thought that colour scheme was a good idea?

[De Beers] stating that the economics of lab-grown diamonds for jewelry were not sustainable.

“That’s cheating, we can’t throttle the market of these shiny rocks! The indistinguishable ones you need are still those we’re killing people for!”

I hope one day you can make a perfect gemstone for the cost of a burger, so people just stop caring about them at all.

The article mentions both. Meta is still complaining about GDPR.

Sounds like it’s working to me.

Zuckbot, comply with GDPR or forget about EU.

Every time stuff like this is mentioned, I’m just wondering…

Dude, even if you’re put on ice for like 40 years, extremely generous estimate, who’s going to care about bringing you back to life? Grandkids who barely even knew you? Your company shareholders who’d suddenly have to deal with a stupid caveman amongst them?

You’ll literally be better off dead for everyone.

The more time passes, the worst. Guaranteed, someone will pull the plug long before science can resurrect you.

French public services tend to switch between FOSS and proprietary software, depending on the politics of the time.

In my little corner of it, they’re leaning toward proprietary right now, especially since a big Microsoft ecosystem deal was kind of forced on us and we’re supposed to go all in. Who knows how long it’ll last though.

Still think those people should have gotten a playdate instead, it’s more fun and certainly not less useful (which is, not at all).

(When I first heard about the r1 I immediately thought it was weird how the 2 devices looked alike, I’ve since learned they shared the same designers).

How dare you.

Perhaps perplexity has privileged pipelines for perpetrating its pumping purposes.

Anyway, no matter from which parts of the world it’s trained, we’re talking about 2024 Facebook content. We’ve seen what Reddit does to an AI.

Can’t wait for meta’s cultured AI to share its wisdom with us.

EU cultural values include resisting against corporations doing whatever they want with our data. Let’s see meta try to reflect those.

At the beginning of Smash Bros Ultimate, some people jokingly tried to make “Smush” a thing (since the previous, fourth game, officially Super Smash Bros for 3DS/for Wii U, was often referred to as Sm4sh for short).

Oh good, they’re the ones who want a nice AI overlord.

It would absolutely be a privacy concern if someone without the rights to access this data could access it from the computer.

My understanding is that it’s the same account logged on both devices. Computers are multi-users devices. No technology ever would protect your secret stuff from someone you’ve just shared your personal account with.

It’s a problem that deletion is not perfectly synchronized, yes. It certainly is a privacy risk because an unauthorized intruder could find them. But in this particular case, there’s no intrusion. The wife just had normal access to these messages in the first place.
