I don’t understand how governments and organisations are still relying on third party’s for critical business communication infrastructure.

That said, my company recently outsourced email, etc to Microsoft’s cloud services, so there is that.

Maybe Microsoft needs to start offering Fediverse services into their business products. They probably won’t because LinkedIn.

Passing on the left in regions with LH traffic (RHD)

Since it is the opposite of Overtaking, it is typically called undertaking, especially if you try to undertake a large truck with limited visibility on the passenger side.

Owning shares when you are an elected official with jurisdiction over the industry you own shares in.

Also, any political figure owning shares in a media organisation, regardless of whether it is traditional media or “new media”.

Did someone spike the chocolate with stupid pills?

I have had so many people this week who are either unable to comprehend basic information, dispute stated facts with irrefutable evidence or just don’t fucking read.

These are people who I dealt with last week who were cogent, alert and knew exactly what was happening and how things worked.

I can understand it happening on Tuesday when everyone came back to work and were still in holiday mode, but it is now three days later.

Please don’t call them AI. They are “Language Learning Models” (or “Spicy Autocorrect” if you want to be cheeky).

Copilot is no more “intelligent” than Clippy from Microsoft Bob in 1995. It just appears to be to people who also have low intelligence.

‘Data Detectors’ in MacOS are just as bad. Just like how sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, sometimes a string of numerals is just a string of numerals.

It is not a phone number or a flight number or a ticket number, it is just a string of text that happen to all be numerals.

I asked Apple Support how to disable data detectors in Preview (MacOS’s native PDF and image viewer) so I could highlight some part numbers without MacOS trying to make a FaceTime call and they told me to use Adobe Acrobat instead! The problem is that Acrobat is worse.

This is why they are doing it. They fear that Linux/MacOS/ChromeOS is eating their lunch. The problem is that their approach to preventing anyone else from eating their lunch is to make Shit Sandwiches.

Step one: start Chroming. Eventually you get so high (kill enough brain cells) that you chrome with blue paint instead. That is called Edging.

But commerce requires people to be able to purchase things. This is not possible if the people don’t have any free income.

TIL Mitsubishi made a Jeep CJ until 1998. (en.m.wikipedia.org)

While picking up my daughter from school today, I noticed an old jeep in the parking lot, but did not think much of it until I saw the tri-spoked Mitsubishi logo above the grill and did quite the double-take. Apparently a number of foreign companies were licensed to produce them after WW2.

Mahindra&Mahindra also had a perpetual licence. They can still manufacture and sell the Roxor and Thar, but can not export them to Western country’s for on-road use. You can purchase Roxors in the US, but you can’t register them.

Thars look an awful lot like Wranglers but are only available in country’s where Jeep do not have a commercial presence.

When we had our house built, we requested a “Surfmist” colorbond roof with “Woodlamd Grey” gutters for this reason.

The fucking idiot incompetent builder ordered Woodland Grey sheets and had it on within one day. We called him out on it and he offered to paint it. (This would have negligible effect on thermal properties). He then came to my workplace and tried to bribe me with $10k to accept it.

We told him where to go and 1 week later we had our Surfmist roof and our neighbours vacant block had a huge pile of Woodland Grey colorbond.

It matters because if the DoJ wins, Apple Customers will be exposed to every single Identity Thief, Data Broker and Scam Artist on the global internet.

The reason why so many people are happy to be in Apples “Walled Garden” is because it provides them with just enough security to function on the internet without becoming a victim.

The only people who do want to break into the ecosystem are the opportunistic arseholes who want to exploit Apples customer base, whether to track their location and sexual health data for profit or oppression, backdoor their financials or even just sell their kids the equivalent of digital crack cocaine in the form of loot boxes in games.

It is absolutely atrocious to use and constantly tries to ram Algorithmic crap down your through. The thing is, most normies are there and for every person who is Internet savvy enough to see the benefit of Mastodon and Lemmy (and Pixelfed, etc) there are a dozen normies who don’t and can’t be bothered finding out.

I would not say that Facebook is popular, but I will say that it is common. It is literally the Lowest Common Denominator for port of social interaction on the Internet.

We live in a disposable society. When you have dirty undies, you just throw them in the garbage /s

It was not really a joke.

When my sister was a young adult, living at home, she would go down to Kmart every week and buy a new pack of 7 undies. She just really didn’t like doing her washing.

No she didn’t onsell them in Japanese Vending machines…

    In related news, the DoJ are suing Apple because car manufacturers can’t extract Tracking data out of people’s iPhones.

    Dragging around a Ton of extra weight for no reason kinda defeats the purpose of going electric. Actually, dragging around the extra ton in the Broncos body kinda defeats the purpose of going electric too.

    Just catch a bus!

    CarPlay access is also included in the Lawsuit.

    theverge.com/…/apple-carplay-doj-lawsuit-anticomp…

    GM are discontinuing CarPlay integration because they couldn’t reach an agreement with Apple over user data.

    arstechnica.com/…/gm-confirms-its-dropping-apple-…

    GM have been busted selling OnStar data to insurance companies for money.

    www.nytimes.com/…/gm-onstar-driver-data.html

    Tracking individuals and selling their data is very lucrative and Automotive Manufacturers are trying to find income streams to subsidise EV sales. Apple and (to a lesser extent) Google have been protecting users data.

    Porsche recently allowed Android Auto on their CarPlay-compatible headunits after negotiating with Google over owners privacy concerns.

    “Real drivers” prefer lightweight cars that are more responsive and can corner, take off and stop on a dime.

    Track racing, off-road racing and even Motorkhana and technical rock-crawling is more fun in a vehicle that is the bare minimum.

    The only reason any driver would want something with superfluous extra weight is in Monster Trucks for stability, and then only if they are a shit driver.

    Even Tractor pulls (where the object is to pull a heavy weight) need the right balance of power:weight and ballast to have sufficient traction to offset the dead weight of the load.
