I’m so grateful for living in a society that lacks this technology. Imagine being arrested out of nowhere because a machine said you were going to do something bad in a year from now.
Hell, imagine not even knowing what you were going to do, but the algorithm said so.
I only get fake prank videos on Facebook. Like the most ridiculous situations. I have no idea why. Whenever I need to go to FB for a legit reason, I just need to close it ASAP before I get the next fake prank video.
They have no idea what my interests are, which is great.
Are all satellites coordinated in a mesh? If so, that’s pretty cool. I thought it was chaotic and they were basically saying like “chances of collision are 0.0001%, send that mofo and good luck”.
Sorry if this is a dumb question, but what is so evil about what was written in the document? To me it just sounded like the guy was bragging about their dominance.
Yeha, that’s monopoly talk. I guess I was expecting something else when I read “evil”.
I don’t really think people are locked-in by any means, there are so many alternatives. People just prefer Google because it provides the best search results and they don’t care about privacy. The alternatives are pretty good, but people just want the best. I usually have to go back to Google to query something whenever DDG isn’t providing good results.
Before downvoting, at least explain why people are locked-in. Aren’t there alternatives to Google? They are definetely creating a horizontal monopoly by acquiring all the companies in the chain, from advertisers to operating systems… but there are alternatives to Google (the search engine). I use DDG everyday, how am I locked-in to Google? I’m not arguing against the monopoly, I’m arguing against the lock-in.
Google- DDG, Swisscows, Qwant
Google Chrome - Mozilla
Google Cloud - DigitalOcean
Android - /e/
Google Phones - Fairphone
Google Meets - Zoom
Google maps - Waze
Google photos - Dropbox
YouTube - Vimeo
I really don’t see the lock-in. People just want monopoly-grade service quality without the monopoly. You can’t have both.
People downvoting you clearly don’t know that school administration can be into bullying as much as the kids. Talking by experience. I think you can report the images in Instagram by saying you’re in them and don’t want to be.
TIL “culpable” is an English word too. Culpable means guilty in Spanish and I thought you were a Spanish speaker doing spanglish. Now I know you’re just a man of culture.
Mmm do you know Linux containers? Like Docker containers, for example?
You need to understand Linux namespace and Linux containers to understand this trick. It isn’t super advanced to be honest, just a Linux feature that is very useful.
Basically you can have multiple “network stacks” in the same machine, and they are isolated. By network stacks I mean things like the netfilter rules and the routing rules.
So, if you deploy a VPN inside a network namespace that isn’t the host’s namespace, the host won’t route the traffic to the VPN by default. Only the processes that are attached to that network namespace will process the network packets with the netfilter and routing rules of that namespace. So, if you only attach the Firefox process to the network namespace of the VPN, only the traffic generated by that process will go through the tunnel.
Ah ok, as I said, “everything that is left wing is good and paradise. Everything right wing is pure evil”.
In a left-wing state the state always holds the power… So once that state becomes corrupted and uses that power to keep all workers equally poor, then it is suddenly right wing? Show me what were the capitalist principles in the Soviet Union? Was there a free market, private incentive, private property, competition, minimal state intervention, entrepreneurship, individual rights and freedoms? NOOO THERE WEREN’T. It wasn’t a right-wing state.
You guys are insane. Lemmy became an echo chamber for your delusions. It’s really sad to see people this radicalized.
A dictator is a dictator, who the fuck cares if they are right or left wing? A racist is a racist. A murderer is a murderer. They can be found in any side of the political spectrum, but you’re too biased to believe the left can be corrupted… You are too blinded by what is right and what is left and are totally unable to see there can be combinations of ideologies.
You say dictators are right wing because they don’t follow some left-wing principles? Then I could argue that all dictators are left-wing because by definition the right strives to minimize government controls, and a dictatorship is authoritarian, which goes against right-wing policies… But I’m done arguing. This is my last Lemmy comment. You are so blinded by the left vs right argument you can’t see beyond that. This degree of fanatism can’t be healthy, I don’t want to become radicalized like you people. This self imposed blindness is sad and pathetic. Good bye.
I actually went back to Reddit. Even as a left-wing follower, I couldn’t take the heavy bias of the community. The echo chamber is just too loud. They are convinced communism is flawless, and whenever it becomes flawed, it is the right’s fault. I can’t deal with absolutes, I’d rather be dead than radicalized by an ideology.
For some reason Lemmy won’t let me remove my account so I just login once a day to see if it is already gone.
