Linux@lemmy.ml•On the unfortunate need for an "age verification" API for legal compliance reasons in some U.S. states
11·14 days agoI appreciate that you feel strongly, but being this agressive and calling the other person “propagandized” and telling them to “educate yourself”, and not adresing any point made, just makes you seem irrational. You are acting like a redditor, be better.
Read Marx and Lenin
I’ve read Marx and Lenin, their work while fundamental to quite a lot of socialist movements, is now mostly outdated. Read something modern, there are more relevant analysis of workers material conditions. Do you want some recommendations?
For one, anyone educated would understand that Americans are the best example of sheep in the world and that many Europeans are good second examples. The British for example with their high tolerance for a surveillance, laws that criminalize all manners of small trivialities, etc, etc.
This doesn’t connect to anything I wrote btw.

72·15 days agoChina isn’t run by an “oligarchy” but by a dictatorship of the communist party via a mandate of the masses
Almost all one-party systems meet the definition of a oligarchy. Also not via a mandate of the masses, not anymore, read about how Xi Jinping came to be the general secretary.
they execute CEOs and rich people there
You could have worded this a bit better, it reads as “being rich is enough to get you executed” and not as “being rich doesn’t make you exempt from capital punishment”. There’s plenty of those over there ofc, over a thousand billionaires.
They need a police state to control the workers
Bit irrelevant because all states seek to control the workers, that’s how states work. And why all communistic political ideologies aim to abolish the state at some point.
Edit: To be clear, I agree with you in general. I just got bugged a bit by those three things 😅

Technology@beehaw.org•I Can’t Sell You Laptops Anymore (video) (enshittification of computer repair)
5·2 months agosame here, I’ve wanted to buy a second 32GB stick for my laptop, but now it costs about the same as a months rent for my collage dorm. My broke ass can’t afford that and still eat, so I’m gonna have to rock single channel for a couple of years more.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•The URL shortener that makes your links look as suspicious as possible
1·2 months agoI know, that’s why I donate or buy merch/products from creators I like.
They get more money from that than they would ever get from ad revenue, and I get a less annoying experience of what ever platform I’m using (plus minimize profit corpos make on me, that’s always good).
If what ever corpo media wanted me to allow it easier profit, if sure better grow feet and give me a happy ending, otherwise it’s not gonna happen.
Maybe you’ve only heard the least realistic sounding algorithmic music or something
Might be that tbh, I listen to music mostly in Polish. And the english music I listen to leans on the niche side, so might not have enough training data scraped to make it not weird sounding
Or even the present?
Still somewhat easy, but it might take a couple of seconds. In the future it might get hard, but since generative models are already poisoning all training data sources, I hope it will take a while.
what does it have to do with what I said?
That this will ‘work’ to reduce slop visibility just because that it won’t be actively pushed by the company, despite how hard it is to track and remove the garbage itself.
You do realize that people can still tell when slop is passed as music. And the only reason it’s so prevalent on spotify and whatever other corpo platforms is because it’s used to pay artists who upload there less, right?

12·2 months agoI support creators I like, ad revenue goes mostly to corpo and not them so I block ads, simple
Actually 🤓, what lead to this 👆 being the state of things is corporate greed 🤑. The ‘people’ 🐽🐷 who own those ‘services’ make more money💸💸 than entire states - I belive that’s what the kids call a bruh 😑 moment.
So, I’ve been thinking 🤔, and I belive I found a solution 👍. It’s so simple 🤩, we just need to do some, let’s call them 🤫😇 ‘budget cuts’ 📉 in the highest positions 🤯🔫

21·2 months agoThere is no state that isn’t one.
They them seem to come from very new accounts. Like three or four come from this one.
Actualy, now that I’m looking, most top post on this community seem to come from similar accounts.
Either there’s been another migration from some corpo social media to lemmy, and this is just what they post, or there’s a bit of a boting problem going on.
RAM tends to just work or just fail
Bad RAM can also sometimes cause your OS to be unstable, but it’s hard to notice if it isn’t bad enough to make your computer crash often
The problem with USB-A is that well, it has to have no problems.
Ramblings
What I mean by that is, for USB to be a ‘universal’ serial bus it has to keep legacy support while still allowing the standard as a whole to keep up with new tech, and there’s just no sane way to do that on one plug type.
As for why type C is the way it is:
The USB Implementers Forum decided that adding more pins to the original format (type A) was a dead end (no way to keep backwards compatibility after a point), and the only way foward was to make type A a ‘legacy’ port while a new connector would take over as the main/modern one.
The forum decided that to make that happen type C has to be more decoupled from type A then previous connectors.
Since the most profitable market for electronics is the mobile one, that’s what they aim for with type C. (And because all the previous mobile USB types sucked, especially the micro).
Also probably atleast some if not most of the forum members wanted planned obsolescence, it’s goverened by tech companies after all.
Still, type C and the 4.0 standard in general is pretty good at doing what it was meant to do.
How is a voluntary, non-hierarchical network for sharing resources (non-material included) with the goal of community building and creating alternative governance structures, the same but less effective as using state power to regulate capitalism and provide universal social welfare founded by taxes. Those things are hardly even connected.



Second this, hibernation and suspend could use some work.
All my thinkpads seem to have a problem with built-in I/O after waking. Sometimes it can get rather weird, like the buttons above the trackpad stop working but the ones in the trackpad work.
