I mean, illegal online transactions are like the one place where crypto really shines.

Eh, I would support blocks on that. [Porn]
Okay, so lets build all the infrastructure and technology to block porn in the most effective way possible.
And I pinky winky promise to never use that technology to silence my political opponents.
Just think of the children.
And the thing is, there are open source internet browsers that can be written to avoid any browser checks that a law might require.
However, if Google’s browser DRM gets widely implemented, a browser-side content blocker would be effective, because all those open source browsers would be unable to access the wider web.
I think if Big Brother Browser with Google DRM is our future, we’re going to see people using 2 browsers as standard. They’ll have one “corporate” internet browser, for Instagram, Amazon, whatever. And one “free” browser for all the grey area stuff.
Twitter was already struggling with nearly unfettered access to every internet-connected user. (sans heavily censored countries)
If Musk cut off 25%-50% of users, the platform, which relies on eyeballs seeing advertisements, would certainly spiral into oblivion.
That is legitimately a problem.
For some reason, YouTube’s algorithm heavily favors extremist content if you show even a casual interest in related material.
It’s probably as simple as “shocking content gets more clicks”, but still, it’s not good for our society to have entertainment platforms recommending extremist views.
In the old days, you’d have to seek out this kind of fringe content on your own. And you’d get pushback from your community if you started talking nonsense.
Nowadays, my aunt is getting blasted with reptilian democrat stuff after showing an interest in typical conservative lady content years ago. And there is not much of a community left to help her out. The algorithms just amplify all the worst shit.
Plex shares (I actually use an Emby share) are what streaming should have been after cable.
It’s the perfect service, everything all in one spot for a reasonable fee.
I’d pay up to $100 a month for that legally, but instead the studios want to bleed me dry.
So they get nothing.
Way differently.
Soldered RAM is much much closer to the CPU, and so the time it takes for signals to propagate back and forth is significantly reduced…
You’re getting heavily downvoted by people who obviously don’t understand how RAM works. Or how computers work?
Guys, Apple is shitty, we all know this, but onboard RAM is the least of their anti-consumer practices.
The problem with socketed RAM is the length of the traces going back to the CPU. That 100% reduces performance (and battery life) by a significant amount. Especially when using that socketed RAM as iGPU VRAM.
Dell’s CAMM standard reduces the latency compared to SODIMM, for socketed RAM, but what we really need is for someone like Apple to invest R&D into really tiny RAM sockets that are super close to the CPU, instead of researching ways to lock users out.
Woah, those go from expensive to absurd.
I could see charging like 1000 rupees to deter frivolous complaints, but up to $500,000 is absurd.
Seems like the system is only meant for B2B complaints. B2B antitrust complaints where the offended party still has enough money to drop half a million USD on an antitrust complaint.
PdaNet used to work for me years ago, but more recently it fails to work on T-Mobile.
It’s frustrating since I rarely need a hotspot, but when I do I really need it.
Just pick a mid-sized instance and there’s a 99% chance it’s more stable than Lemmy.world right now.
Look at users who don’t sound insane and see where they’re posting from.
I think it’s good for USB standards to move slow.
Finally just about every device I buy has USB-C now. If they release a new connector that’ll just mean using 2 different cables for everything again.
If it does get crazy, we’re all going to suffer as the government cracks down hard on domestic terrorism.
And just like in 2001, “domestic terrorism” will mean whatever they want it to mean.
We had decades of low union activity that gave corporations the chance to show how well they would take care of us on their own.
And they super fucked entire generations of workers.
Now people must unionize, or their dirt salaries will lose them their rented homes and starve their kids. So we’re seeing a blossoming of union activity in many sectors.
It’s time for workers to have a tiny slice of those mega-profits corporations have been earning off our backs.
Unionize America!
Cashier: “So, uh… Why are you returning this?”
Serial Return Activist: “Because I have to use Chrome to install the device, and I don’t want to use Chrome because of browser monopoly and privacy concerns.”
Cashier: “Got it.”

I like my phones to be lightweight, thin, and durable.
Ya know, so I can have my phone at-the-ready when under a car, upside down trying to fix my sink, or when I only have half a hand while scarfing down some lunch.
Turns out a heavy-ass foldable doesn’t lend itself to doing any of that without risking permanent damage.
So Samsung, when your foldables are less than 200g, less than 72mm wide, fully ip68, and less than $1000 in today’s dollars, I will consider them. Otherwise, I’ve already got a perfect phone.
Soldiers were sharing nuclear secrets in flash card apps.
Just because someone has a secret clearance, doesn’t mean they’ve ever been told that the entire Internet is siphoning their data in any way possible.
But Google takes their security super seriously, and the only person they’re sharing our data with is the government.
That’s not a good thing, but if you need a chat app that pretty much everyone already has installed, for non-sensitive conversations, you could do much worse than Google Meet.
How does nuking multiple cities not contribute to the American war effort?
There are 1000 decision making paths you can follow in regards to the atomic bombing of Japan, which wasn’t decided lightly, but ultimately the prevailing understanding is correct.
This “holier than thou” alternate history thing you have going on is, sorry to say, it’s delusional.
