But that would require them to reign in the very same companies that sponsor them. One can hope, but it seems unlikely.

Because that’s a good canary to show the article wasn’t AI written?

Apple is powered by the copium of their fanbase, so maybe the next model won’t even need a power cable.

Imagine a world where we had politicians who understood technology enough to put proper rules and requirements in place, so that big dumb companies would actually be forced to act ethically and sustainably…

I wish more games came with couch co-op. It was a lot of fun in Halo and Diablo.

Mandated is the wrong word. “Required for absolutely everything” is more precise. In Denmark you need an app called “MitID” to do any kind of digital verification. You can’t do online purchases, banking or digital bureaucracy without it.

I hope I live to see the death of private banking. It’s insane how much of the fuckery in the world that originates in banking.

I would love to make the switch, but I am certain that absolutely zero of my government mandated apps will run on this thing.

Tech bros underestimating the complexity of real life yet again

Never underestimate the effect dust can have on airflow and cooling in general

In Denmark we call it “cucumber times”, when the news have nothing to report on during summer. BBC seems to have taken that term very literally.

I have an unfinished Software Engineering degree. While studying, I started a small businesses to do some freelance IT work on the side and one client offered me a full-time job, so I put the studies on hold and then never looked back. Been climbing through different positions and companies since then. Experience is valued much higher than a diploma, especially in an industry that evolves too quickly for education to keep up. I quit the industry recently to start teaching, because there is huge need for teachers that can teach programming, and working with people is much more rewarding than a big paycheck (imo).

In all of my job interviews, I’ve been asked more about the company I started while studying, than the degree that I quit. So I guess my tip is to start your own thing or start teaching. Having your own business with a license also makes it way easier for big companies to hire you for contract work.

What are the main differences, for someone considering going from Firefox to Librewolf?

For a democracy to work it’s people need to act like political consumers. To do so, they need to be informed about the products they consume and their alternatives.

Also, a lot of Scandinavian libraries are switching their public desktop PCs to Linux.

LightBurn should hire better developers then

Oh boy, Lemmy really doesn’t get sarcasm without the “/s”, huh?

I think we are about to experience a true Butlerian Jihad. Not because of the fearsome power of AI, but because of the hatred of shitty LLMs.

Great! Now I know who to contact when I accidentally delete all the plaintext API keys and passwords I had stored in a public github repo.

Every time I compare specs to prices on Apples website, I get irrationally angry.
