And that was the end of the wave for invite started social media.

The problem is that it isn’t an intentional design decision. It just happens to be the easiest way to add a “cost” to sign-up.

Pissed.

That won’t happen with its environmental laws unless solar takes over completely.

I’m not surprised. It was very apparent after interest rates rose that tech companies had to immediately start worrying about making money and not making long term bets which might make money. When you aren’t making as much software as you used to, why have that many programmers in payroll?

Their ambitious plan is to protect their desktop monopoly. Microsoft had planned on making gaming a major part of their revenue. However, they messed up so bad that it created the first true threat to the Windows monopoly on decades.

If the SteamOS tech stack can get consumers off Windows, then it makes it that much easier to threaten the Office monopoly as well.

The issue with Linux is going to be if there will be a single distro that dominates or if it will be more distributed. Right now, it looks like Google and Valve are the closest to making dominant distros, but I can see at least one EU government one being created as well. If there are few distros, then I can see development getting locked to those distros rather than across all Linux.

The same thing happened with Android, Google ended up controlling Android so the open source side got hollowed out and the closed source side controlled by Google became necessary to running Android.

It isn’t just one country doing it, it is just the one most reported on in English language news.

I don’t see why not. Israel attacked oil infrastructure, showing this was as much an economic war as anything else.

I know one engineer who bought the Meta glasses due to the form factor. For others with the Go Pro, they usually mount the cameras on their hard hat, which makes it easy to see since black hard hats are rare.

In American banking companies, Vice President is usually the first promotion you get.

They are buying the Mac Minis since they are a cheap way to run a server where this would work. They aren’t create a safe environment for AI, but an access point on local hardware.

Program? Like a fucking farmer?

It’s already used in construction as a documentation device. Photos are big as a documentation tool and some inspectors already use wearable cameras as a tool.

Conservatives like using X.

I don’t think they’ve said anything yet, but I don’t know if the tech is there for identifying random people.

Yeah, but you got to be able to word it right.

Does your friend have an ex they don’t want to know where they are?

As I recall, Ring doesn’t provide camera footage to everyone on demand, just law enforcement. I can easily see Ring advertising back saying they only provide data to law enforcement to help prosecute criminals or willingly shared by Ring owners.

Leaning on the ICE issues right now would also work in some areas.

Some areas, yes. However, that could end up implying that the camera system is being used to capture criminals in general.

It is a better idea than vandalism, but it requires thinking though to make sure that Amazon doesn’t get a quick win.

That’s just going to grow adoption.

People are buying Ring cameras/AI surveillance because they feel unsafe and are using these cameras to feel safer. If cameras start to get damaged in a specific neighborhood, residents are likely going to see it as a coordinated attack and invest in more cameras, including cameras to watch the other cameras.

They’re already doing it to access the social security website.

But the magical box has changed shape and change is scary.
