TechnologyJust because google sucks it doesn’t mean you should upvote clickbait and spam
We should care about clickbait and spam
It was clearly about how marijuana makes your children communist
Report this comment too. We can’t let Lemmy get overrun with clickbait spam or it will get worse here than reddit.
SelfhostedIIRC those updates were a series of bugfixes after a major update, which seems to be how they prefer to work.
“Google has added Hand gesture verification functionality to reCAPTCHA”
This title is clickbait, if we want Lemmy to be a competitor to Reddit we need to be better moderated than they are, not worse. Please report this post and OP to your instance admins.
LinuxNo love lost for IBM but I still wouldn’t expect to see casually mentioned alongside Palantir.
Wow I went to fact check that claim and it’s actually no exaggeration. Here is the AP article.
Google and Amazon provide cloud computing and AI services to the Israeli military under “Project Nimbus,” a $1.2 billion contract signed in 2021, when Israel first tested out its in-house AI-powered targeting systems. The IDF has used Cisco and Dell server farms or data centers. Red Hat, an independent IBM subsidiary, also has provided cloud computing technologies to the Israeli military, while Palantir Technologies, a Microsoft partner in U.S. defense contracts, has a “strategic partnership” providing AI systems to help Israel’s war efforts.
Crazy to see Palantir, Google, Microsoft mentioned alongside …Red Hat.
Anytime someone anywhere on the political spectrum uses the word “woke” without also defining what the fuck it’s supposed to mean I just cannot take them seriously.
S-tier satire of the conservative “Trekkie” (please Gene, I hope you’re being satirical). Real comments like that always make me think of Douglass Adams’ “rules” on growing old:
Anything that is in the world when you’re born is normal and ordinary and is just a natural part of the way the world works.
Anything that’s invented between when you’re fifteen and thirty-five is new and exciting and revolutionary and you can probably get a career in it.
- Anything invented after you’re thirty-five is against the natural order of things.
Anytime someone says Star Trek’s progressivism was never “hamfisted” I usually just point them to the after school special that is Let that be your Last Battlefield:
Privacy@lemmy.ml
I have an adjacent vent and that is I hate how companies put so little effort into the UX of their mobile web pages. Privacy concerns aside, I would still prefer not to have 100 apps on my phone and just use web pages; but my bank’s web page suuuuucks and so well, I have the app.
IDK I think we’ll continue to see incremental gains for a long time, especially as normies abandon desktops/laptops entirely and the entire market shrinks. Windows will probably continue to dominate in enterprise for long past when it’s fashionable.
It’s crazy because Apple had every reason to be FAR ahead in that game.
That’s totally reasonable I only brought up Google Glass because it was famously ridiculed ("Glassholes") and yet still more fashionable even today than these things.
OK I can get into this.
First of all, all of these eye computers are dumb, but at least Meta’s Ray Bans look more or less like normal glasses. Even Google Glass was sleeker looking than these, and that was 13 years ago. I don’t know what Snap is thinking.
Same, and I personally know two people who I would describe as college educated white-collar folks, but definitely not into “tech”, who recently told me they switched to Firefox.
This was my exact journey, though I eventually landed on immutable Fedora with KDE. Zorin is a great OS but it’s in a weird space because it’s probably already too simple for anyone who knows what Linux is.
That’s an awesome story and I agree he was great in that role.
Oh fun I will have to check it out
everybody needs to be on their best behavior for the next few weeks ok
He should have won best actor for his performance as “Ian” in Jungle 2 Jungle.
The fact that it lost to American Beauty that year is a travesty
Colm Meaney’s performance in Layer Cake is simply astounding!
Examples of roles where actors from Star Trek give better performances than they did on Star Trek?
I would put Duck Tails 2, but still- why are they so dang replayable??
Yeah, they also mentioned that it was difficult to capture it in photos:
Review: EXO-6’s ‘Star Trek: Deep Space Nine’ Garak Is No Plain, Simple Figure (trekmovie.com)
Awesome!
Steamroller is a great name. I built a similar SFFPC with Bazzite a few years ago but if I was in the market I would probably choose this over the Steam Machine (as cool as it is).
The fact that you are clearly capable of posting content about everything except trans kids in Gaza is telling on yourself. /s
Schrödinger’s celery is a good point, I retract my criticism.
Not enough vegetables imo.
Yes
Ncuti Gatwa is officially a doctor after receiving an honorary doctorate from the University of Glasgow
Crazy that this was uploaded almost exactly one year after it went off the air. Also crazy that that was twenty years ago!
Nothing will change until we can get the pro-climate change people out of power, and if that means having “conversations” about the price of eggs and healthcare during election years then the reasonable strategy for fixing climate change seems to be talking about the price of eggs and healthcare.
