Technology@lemmy.world•Google’s AI Is Destroying Search, the Internet, and Your BrainEnglish
47·10 days agoI don’t think today’s bots take any notice of robots.txt. It’s a relic from a more civilized time.

3·11 days agoThat seems plausible, and it would make sense of an otherwise puzzling situation.

Technology@lemmy.world•Shopify CEO says employees' 'slop grenades' are making more work for everyone elseEnglish
111·12 days agoI find it can speed me up, but it’s very easy to become lazy and find myself asking the AI to do things I could do perfectly well myself, quickly and using far less electricity. And then before I know it I have a huge pile of slop that I don’t know my way around, and I spend the time on the other end trying to understand and check it all. It feels amazing up front, but you pay later.

31·12 days agoThey did, but they knew they could make money out of it anyway.

Technology@lemmy.world•Raspberry Pi is intentionally blocking RAM capacity upgradesEnglish
23·12 days agoI mean… aren’t hackers the target audience for Raspberry Pis?
They used to be. But for the last few years it has looked less and less like that.

Technology@lemmy.world•Raspberry Pi is intentionally blocking RAM capacity upgradesEnglish
1001·12 days agoTheir excuse definitely smells like bullshit. It just seems they want to do the Apple thing of making sure they get the money for the upgrade, plus a premium. Except even Apple has a technical reason they don’t allow upgrades, which Raspberry Pi doesn’t.

5·12 days agoI have pretty strict DNS filtering across the home network, so I assumed it was that. But it still loads for me in Brave on Linux. It didn’t load in Vanadium on GrapheneOS.

No it isn’t, you’re preventing the page from loading to punish me for using an ad blocker.

Technology@lemmy.world•Republican bill would order ISPs, DNS providers, and VPNs to block piracy sitesEnglish
10·15 days agoI’m no expert, but some examples I know of are:
Tribler: a bittorrent-based app with built-in search and some extra security compared to regular bittorrent.
Nicotine+ and similar apps: clients for the Soulseek network, where you download an entire file from a single peer. Also searchable.
There’s no need to use a website for either of these.

10·15 days agoAt a guess, tariffs. “Tariffs” is also the answer to all the other questions.
GrapheneOS is the only one I’ve used since the bad old days of trying random things posted on forums, and it’s excellent.
Grammar is for sheeps.
Can’t tell if joke.

DeGoogle Yourself@lemmy.ml•Are there any good google maps alternatives?
6·18 days agoMagic Earth is good but it’s proprietary and some features require a subscription. I also vote for CoMaps.

Technology@lemmy.world•Lawsuit: Amazon refused to give pregnant workers bathroom breaks and refused to give them permission to sit or use a chair and later fired them after a pregnancy-related hospitalizationEnglish
1·23 days agoWhen you recognize how common it is that sociopaths work their way into power, precisely because they get pleasure from controlling and being cruel to others, a lot of how the world is starts to make sense.
The other part is that DHH has a reputation as a fascist. The fact that he, of all people, is receiving a ton of money for his half-assed Linux distro makes a lot of people uncomfortable.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•216,000,000 LG Smart TVs are spying on you - Gamers Nexus
15·26 days agoYou’d have to test whether the TV’s firmware allows it to run without the microphone or WiFi. Some manufacturers will anticipate people trying to control their own tech and shut their device down at any sign of tampering.

Does it include the truth about Israel’s genocide of Palestinians? Or is it still terrorism to speak that?
