Seems like dinosaur, isn’t: https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/TGwAAOSw9mFWHRS~/s-l400.jpg

Oh, so that’s what they’re talking about when they say AI will enslave all humanity. I hope the fractured remains of non-assimilated human societies living on the streets among the security drones and human transport vessels will have enough to eat.

Tankies (for any reasonable definition of the word) and fascists should always shunned and opposed, by communists and anarchists alike.

The typical hybrid is still 100% powered by fossil fuels. The main thing they’ve done for us is demonstrate the Jevons Paradox.

There’s really no need to recycle this misleading headline forever, they’re not in short supply.

Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.

I don’t know. It just seems like one plausible explanation for what’s been produced. To me it has that feel to it.

People old enough to remember when you didn’t need any ID at all for domestic flights?

Sure they were subject to all the constraints of commercial prime-time TV, but as that video discusses in some detail with respect to DS9, the writers still had freedom within that corporate framework to tell woke anticolonialist stories beyond the classic sci-fi adventure fare of TOS which itself often explored what was new ground for commercial television at the time. Under some other corporate masters it might’ve been possible for the new crew to find similar freedom today, if things had worked out differently — and if any of them have the ability to do it and the willingness to try. But Larry Ellison and the forces he’s standing in for seem far more alert to the subtleties of it than they used to be. There’s bigger money involved now and they’re keeping it on a tighter leash.

For a more serious critique of new Trek that you might find more interesting than the angry tweets you refer to, consider this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fB5DroolqFU

Some people like AI because they treat it as if it’s the voice of God speaking directly to them.

It is not, so far as I know, an “extra network.” It’s one of many types of instance on the fediverse. Many of them have features that do not perfectly interoperate with others. The more popular ones eventually get to be widely supported as things evolve. Mastodon is not the standard, it’s just one among many.

Also, you’re a lemmy user. It’s one of the worst when it comes to interoperating smoothly with the rest of the network.

Where’s the “4chan” one?

Shouldn’t the focus be on Windows 12? I thought it was supposed to be released in 2025.

I suppose her attention is naturally focused on encryption, but the result of an untrustworthy operating system is not specific to it: Security in general becomes impossible.

Still waiting patiently to see whether venture capital eventually turns Bluesky to shit despite all the fancy words, or whether it eventually grows up and starts federating with the rest of us.

They that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

Their UK traffic was down by only 77%? Should’ve been 100% to begin with.

I guess it’s for the best that they’re going after the porn sites first with the “age verification” scam. It’s typically easy for their users to go somewhere else, and it gives a lot of people some first-hand experience of how jarringly intrusive and unsafe it is when a web site asks for official ID or biometric data.

If they have to change the names of things, Xfce users are probably fine with taking it one letter at a time.

I’d like to think there’s at least a chance that they meant it in an “actually, this is The Onion” way.
