  • I think the average person just simply doesn't care about their privacy.

  • There was always a line though between "i'm sharing this personal information with you privately" (i.e. registering with your name and e-mail address), and "I'm sharing this information with the general public". You also were able to remain somewhat anonymous, by registering with your real name but making sure other users only saw your screen name.

    While there was always the threat of someone finding your publicly shared photos or stories and using them for nefarious purposes, the idea of the company you're giving them to analyzing all of that private and public data, across the entire web thanks to tracking cookies, and using it to manipulate you or packaging it up and selling it was never really a concern. No one had the capabilities to analyze that much data 10-15 years ago, and if they did it wasn't yet profitable.

    The idea that you now have zero control over how your personal and private data is used, or who it's sold to, is terrifying.

  • What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?

  • Neat! I had no idea there was a new title. The '86 version kept my up late late into the night as a kid and I have the eggplant wizard song burned into my ears.

  • YSK: You should dry off beef before cooking. Doing so promotes the Maillard Reaction, which will make the meat taste and look better.

  • Humans are even more incredibly resource intensive. Are you doing your part by not breeding? Judging by your post history I'd say you're well on your way, good show!

  • God had no part in this travesty, that's for sure.

  • Last I checked it was, but it's no where near as good as when it launched. Tons of content was 'streamlined' (removed) and the class mechanics are incredibly watered down.

  • ActivityPub is a communication protocol. There's nothing stopping anyone from implementing it and then adding their own 'features'.

    Just look at how different companies have implemented the HTML 'standard'. You end up with websites that require specific browsers to run properly. It's gotten better over the past few years, but god damn anyone old enough to remember what a pain it was designing websites in the 90's and working around all of Internet Explorer's shenanigans will tell you it's not a good time.

  • The supposed "ethical" limitations are getting out of hand

    Jump

  • We're already seeing that with current technology though. Knowing how to Google something is apparently a skill that some people have, and some people don't.

    It's going to be no different with AI tools, where knowing how to use them effectively will be a skill.

  • Why is copy and paste so difficult for Linux to solve?

    Jump

  • I've been using Linux since RedHat 4.2, and for a number of years in the early 2000's as a desktop. Since then it's mainly been as a server, and I just recently got back into running it as a primary desktop.

    The "it's always been that way" argument is stupid and you should know better.

  • Yes this makes sense. I've been using terminals for years with the 'copy on highlight' feature enabled, and I'm pretty sure when I was on OSX it was a single buffer.

    I can see how having mouse selected text end up in the buffer on a non-Terminal app would probably not be the desired behavior.

    I found 'autocutsel' which will keep PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD in sync, however Gnome Terminal doesn't seem to support 'copy on highlight' while Terminator does.

  • No offense, but I have plenty of ways of interacting with my 'normie' friends that don't involve whoring out my personal data. If someone insists they want to hang out with you but only when they're hosting a Pampered Chef party, they can fuck right off.

  • YSK that Apollo is subject to auto-refund and you can decline this refund before the weekend.

    Jump

  • Reddit doesn't owe them a refund... Apollo Inc. should owe them a refund and the developer simply walks away, because he's not personally responsible for Apollo Inc's debts.

  • I wonder what is causing this, major depression

  • I nearly had a aneurysm when I hit up drive-thru for lunch today and they had a sign that starting July 1st the city of Edmonton will require a $0.15 surcharge for take-out bags.

    Never mind the fact that the fucking price of a burger has almost doubled over the past 3 years, better make sure we punish people for switching from plastic to paper.

    Single-use plastic shopping bags (including compostable or biodegradable plastic shopping bags) can no longer be distributed, and businesses must charge at least 15 cents for a paper shopping bag and at least $1 for a new reusable shopping bag.
