If they own houses that is public info.

WTF. What could possibly go wrong. Flip phone here I come.

Ok I used to feel sorry for non-libre streaming software users, but this is now in “one born every minute” territory. Thanks.

What the heck is this thing? Should many of us care?

So, I’m sticking with Lemmy. It’s not perfect, but at least it’s real. Maybe we’ll get the true decentralization we’ve been promised one day

I thought we had Usenet since the 1970s.

This looks kind of cool. It’s written in Go. License is LGPL3, kind of a weird choice, but whatever. I’m not crazy about the name “Sriracha” but I guess you’ve got call it something. I might give it a try. I haven’t understood why so many forums are written in PHP.

I’m happy with say 3 hz, fast enough to not be too annoying when flipping pages while reading. It’s fine to not be good for video. What I really want is a 16 inch or so e-reader though.

That is a video of a much smaller monitor. It does show reasonably responsive refresh. Do you have one of the 25.3 inch monitor described in the article?

What is the refresh time? They carefully avoid mentioning that. There’s a comparable Pimoroni monitor whose refresh takes 14 seconds so I’d call it a static display rather than a computer monitor.

Be careful what you ask for :(.

Contract workers for Meta, TikTok, Google, and more are forming a global group to fight for better working conditions.

Try Reddit also, the moderators there don’t even get paid :(.

p2p solution for opensource projects

That’s called Git and it’s been around longer than GitHub. There is also Usenet which by now is mostly dead. People fell for centralized alternatives. Oops :)

Article is from 2018. Someone must have pasted the url from hacker news where the same story was dug up recently.

I guess 4chan is still down?

They’ve done that on and off for ages, and the ones being offered with Ubuntu here are mostly pretty expensive or else not so interesting. I’ve been content to buy older Thinkpads and self-install Debian for my past several laptops. I was somewhat tempted by recent Ideapad Yogas but resisted, and since then, prices have gone up, whether due to tariffs or whatever else.

Mozilla propaganda. It’s not just about individually identifiable data. Privacy means not giving the bad guys ANY data, whether or not it points at any individual.

This is about “Chris Krebs, the former head of the US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) and a longtime Trump target”.

Oh I didn’t know about the new requirements. Less backwards compatibility too. IBM 3592 looks better but costs even more. Tape drives can’t be that much higher tech than HDDs, so if they cranked up the volume they could likely be way more affordable.

The upfront cost of tape is excessive though. It wasn’t always like that. And LTO-9 missed its capacity target: it’s 18TB (1.5x LTO-8) instead of 24TB as planned. Who knows what will happen later in the roadmap.

"…the dreaded “death cross,” a historical indicator of a likely downturn for the company.

"Business Insider called out the event, which has been hitting the stock indexes of some major players over the last couple of weeks as tariff trouble has hit just about everyone. Tesla is just the latest to see the symbol of bearishness, which occurs when a company’s 50-day moving average crosses and drops below the 200-day average.x
