this thread makes me realize even lemmy users are far up billionaires assholes

not outsmarted because the people on top are complete idiots, but essentially yes. the people on top will always have the power to revolutionize(not in a good way) the instruments of production to suit their needs and the common working people of the world will be the ones living in the consequences of their actions.

yeah they’re still capable cars if you can get over the terrible QA off the line. but like it or not, buying a Tesla these days is almost like making a political statement. it’s just way more annoying to own one these days than something that’s more low profile

I’d type more but I’m at work and don’t have the time to go into further detail.

enough said

you literally described the exact use case for password managers. in security, it’s not about IF you get breached, it’s WHEN and how to recover from it. this includes cloud password managers. you can hack all the data you want from these companies but any reputable password manager company will employ a Zero Trust model where your data is stored encrypted. they can completely upend the company and destroy their whole infrastructure, but they still can’t do shit unless they have your master pass or a time machine.

honestly, if you even buy an Elonmobile these days, it’s kind of embarrassing… people will make fun of you behind your back now because of it and weird Elon bros will approach you. I had so many middle aged Elon bros come up to me and peddle crypto to me while I was charging, it’s crazy. you really really have to be a super moron Elon fan to buy one today

this reads like a capitalist propaganda leaflet that falls out of the sky for you to read in the 1940s. what if I told you that you can have a functioning society that isn’t predicted on exploitation of labor and doesn’t require you to live like a hermit in the forest. you should read some Adam Smith or some shit if you’re going to talk about labour division and specialization as if it’s a good thing. you can laud it all you want, but Smith is very clear this is a system of masters and labourers where society is built on your masters giving you just enough rent so you can afford to pay another (or even the same) master back while you and the other laborers compete against each other in a labor market while the masters watch. he even warns if you divide too much, you end up with a pile of shit. we’re there now. we’re a pile of shit. nobody wants to work their meaningless job that was sold to them on this capitalist American dream thought up by a bunch of anglos from 1790.

Apple users: buys iPhone for privacy

Apple: all your data belongs to me now

did you even click the link? it says the point literally in the first sentence… lol they don’t want Google training their AI search results with their data and making less incentive to actually click into reddit

what point are you even trying to make here? we know we don’t own the music. if you truly care about DRM issues, then you’re not even on Spotify to begin with. DRM is not the problem with this post. this is specifically software locking previously free features for the sake of increasing shareholder value down the line. say what you will about that, but it does not have anything to do with DRM or ownership…

most CS “textbooks” are a scam these days I’m general. a huge red flag when I scan resumes now is actually if they have a textbook published without some sort of advanced degree or qualification to write a textbook. I get resumes of people a year out of college, work a junior position, and have a “Advanced JavaScript” or “JavaScript the not boring way” or “Complete guide to typescript” or some other quirky textbook name. if you actually click into any of these books, they’re complete nonsense written by somebody who just copied another textbook from another idiot who knew nothing. all these people are over confident resume padders. in practice they don’t know shit and didn’t legitimately write a lick of the book. I’ve had some of these applicants claim their books are used by professors too.

I think they mean something along the lines of good programmers aren’t big head know-it-alls. they admit when they don’t know something, ask for help, and collaborate as opposed to claiming to be an all knowing monolith software god. we’ve all met those guys at work.

if you’re looking for a legit READING app, KOReader is the only way to go. especially if you have an ereader tablet too that uses KOReader too and/or use Calibre. I moved to it from Kindle + Kindle app on Android and I just have no idea what the purpose of Kindle is anymore unless you buy ebooks directly from Amazon. in which case you should… well… stop.

you don’t need proof when you have ✨faith✨

what did you say? say that again to my face, I dare you.

well what else would you expect it to say when you never practice your elf magic?

seriously, who made that jackass a meme?

where there are no security holes or flaws of any kind

this in itself is straight up impossible to know or prove. when can you say your program has no vulnerabilities? ever hear of zerodays? finding the best way to do everything in software will never be found or stay constant either.

I just can’t get myself to trust an ex Russian, offshore company with my dns traffic
