Technology@lemmy.world•4chan fined $26K for refusing to assess risks under UK Online Safety ActEnglish
32·2 months agoIs it even possible for Ofcom to legally fine 4chan for these issues? How does a company in the UK fine a US company?

A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Miami-Dade PD just rolled out PUG, a fully autonomous AI-powered police cruiser. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this.

Congrats on switching to Firefox, it’s the best option. Ublock origin is a plus as well.

Technology@lemmy.world•Apple's Greed Is Finally BackfiringEnglish
5·3 months agoI thought this was a really fascinating video, since Apple Explained is one of the biggest Apple-Stans on youtube. He finally realized that his favorite company is wrought with greed, and was willing enough to make a video about it. The content or his ideas don’t necessarily matter; it’s his revelation that’s intriguing.

Technology@lemmy.world•Women Dating Safety App 'Tea' Breached, Users' IDs Posted to 4chanEnglish
385·4 months agoThe Tea app is agnostic. While its purpose and main use case was made for the safety of women in the dating scene, it was inevitably used to spread exaggerated or misleading information about otherwise innocent men. Imagine being a privacy-conscious individual, and breaking up with a toxic woman. She could go on to spread lies about you and even upload pictures of you to the reverse image search/ai. So even if you were doing everything right from a privacy standpoint, you’d still end up in someone’s private database, subjected to ai training, shared with the government, or who knows what. While I do see the purpose of apps like these, they can effectively take away someone’s privacy/dignity without them even knowing about it. Now imagine being a 4channer, someone probably even more privacy-conscious than lemmings, and possibly experiencing mental disorders like paranoid schizophrenia or autism; of course they’re drawn to hacking an app that would destroy their privacy. They are not sane individuals, so this event really was inevitable.

Technology@lemmy.world•Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PCEnglish
9·4 months agoYou can’t block all of Windows spyware. The best case of action would be to install an alternative operating system like Linux or a BSD-derivative. It’s counter-intuitive to “fuck Microsoft” when you are still using their OS.
Does paying a freelance artist to make art for you mean that you are an artist? The same argument applies for your signature on AI art. You only described it, that doesn’t mean that you made it. This belongs in C/Adoringdystopia
Could very well be Gendo, because he’s spearheading the whole operation. The country and its government are two separate entities

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•US Congressmen praying inside the House of RepresentativesEnglish
2·5 months agoThis is only partially true, as the First Amendment states “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” As you can see, practice of religion is not prohibited. My main point is that prayer will probably not have any meaningful impact on the success of immoral decisions.

Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•US Congressmen praying inside the House of RepresentativesEnglish
42·5 months agoI controversially agree, freedom of religion is a fundamental part of the United States’s identity. However, these people could always be praying for terrible things, so there’s a definite duality to this image. That being said, I think that religion can be seen as a mixture of freedom of speech and expression; I believe that this is a human right. Secondly, since I’m assuming that most of you are atheists here, why should you worry about what they are even praying for? If atheism states that there is no all-powerful deity, then this bickering is meaningless. If Christianity and its teachings happen to be true, then it is certain that the Christian God would never be in favor of what’s currently happening. For example, Mark 12:31 states “The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” Which is the complete antithesis towards current events. As you can see, both possibilities show that God or not, the current administration is not supported by either.
During Covid, 2020-2021. I was under the weather and bored out of my mind. I spontaneously decided to install Arch Linux, and the rest is history. Installing Arch was invaluable to my learning experience, and taught me a lot about Linux

Technology@lemmy.world•Firefox 140 Brings Tab Unload, Custom Search & New ESREnglish
5·5 months agoYes I’m pretty sure that this has been an option. For example when I go to imdb.com and right click on the tab, it prompts me to “add imdb” for search. Many such cases on many different websites. Maybe they changed the term or function.
