Question is: do I buy one now and risk them bricking it out of spite… I guess as long as I don’t update the firmware? I don’t actually know how their geofence works.

This is lame. They already crammed remoteID™ down our throats :-( Although this will do way more to curtail drone activity it’s demonstrably not going to stop anyone from doing anything really bad.

What’s your point?

There’s a handful of valid notions in there, but they apply to the vast majority of apps people download.

It’s a choice. You could get the same technology from an American company for… 50-80K if you’re lucky and will to roll up your sleeves and learn some sophisticated GIS software (not included).

Or you could get the DJI for… let’s call it 6K including a nice laptop and let the evil orientials know the layout of your hazlenut orchard. Oh nooooos! Spooky scary!

The Uyghur thing is a problem for me. And I would need to understand that better before I buy something. If it’s a case of the Chinese government asking DJI to provide surveillance tech, I’m not sure that’s a request they can deny. If it’s DJI using slave/forced labor, fuckem.

Oh I’ve built a few over the last 10 years. There’s a lot to be said for what DJI has accomplished over that time. I doubt it would cost me less that 10K to make something that has all the features they offer in a $2K package. And it would take months for a prototype.

So your contention is that because Congress our most learned body of intellectuals… fuck it, I’m not in the mood tonight.

The article pretty plainly says the guy was coerced into entering his password. So the headline feels a bit manipulative.

Ya know… I hadn’t see anything by them in so long I forgot.

Take a deep breath and tell us how you really feel ;-)

I got here a bit late and it seemed like there was some decent discussion going on. Practical advice on how to lock various phones.

Some high quality pasta about how to survive the coming civil war ;-) Honestly good advice for anyone considering civil unrest there.

It’s small, but what’s really missing here? Someone dragging up the constitution? Being forced to incriminate yourself is wrong and any evidence gleaned should be inadmissible. Cops shouldn’t manipulate people into giving up their rights… but that’s the country we live in.

Reddit was a wash in low effort feel good upvote nonsense too. It just got buried faster.

To each his own but until I have time to post a bunch of high quality content, I’m not going to complain so bitterly.

I think they were victims of their own success weren’t they? Gawker was already kind of a tech-tabloid, happy to report rumors (which were often true or at least truth adjacent).

That kinda made them popular with both hardboiled techies who wanted to know when my shit was going to come rolling down, and regular folks who just wanted some good gossip… maybe wanted to touch our feet or whatever ;-)

With that success and the capital investment it garnered Gawker bought up all the good tech news sites.

Unable to produce meaningful content for that many sites on the limited budget their investors demanded Gawker invented the listical. And humanity wept —and kept clicking for some damn reason 🤨

Many years passed and the listical was clearly dying, so Gawker sought out a real zinger to boost their profile… I’m a bit hazy on the details, but it sounds like Peter Teal fucked them up the ass with Hulk Hogan‘s penis. 

At least that’s how I remember it ;-)

There has got to be a Whack-A-Mole joke in here somewhere.

But yeah… same bud.

And I’ve died laughing :-) Thank you for that.

P.S. No idea why I just got a notification for this.

Thanks for explaining this… something about it being kind of democratic (?) makes it more amusing than irritating.

Lemmy still feels thin compared to the colossal poop-chute that was Reddit.

Knowing that the spurt of new furry porn in my all feed, is the result some new Lemmite fast-fingering the subscribe button is kind of delightful :-)

Bleep boop, this summary has saved you 99.9%… just kidding i’m not a bot and have no idea what the article says ;-)

Everyone’s creepy uncle… to creep to fail… this wants to be a Weinstein joke, but not today :-(

That must be why it stopped working ;-)

Does 48 hours not getting a reverse proxy working count?

It’s FreeNAS and I don’t really hoast anything but the plex server… so 48 hours.

If deleting files counts 10 days a year, if not 1 day a year.

Somewhat ironic that the original joke was about seagull managers.

If you consider the way you choose to allocate your time and and a portion of your entertainment budget private… then yes.
