Governmental advocates for mandatory backdoors have no clue that they effectively make encryption moot. UK users will only be silghtly less secure with no encryption vs. backdoored encryption.

Yeah, I know. But when your life is in danger, municipalities cater to vehicles, and drivers don’t care whether you live or die, your options are limited.

Carry a rifle. That’ll get you noticed. And if it doesn’t, a couple of well-aimed shots sure as shit will.

Free Speech Absolutist 🤣

It can’t be any worse than lead, right?

It’s been obvious for a while that spez is trying to be a Musk/Zuck.

Enshittification intensifies.

spez is slow walking Reddit to the graveyard.

I would have said “Egghead” but I’ll take this one, too.

I don’t know if he specifically wants that so much as he doesn’t care if it happens.

He seems to think that doing this will force manufacturers to build in the US, versus the Biden approach of incentivizing them to do that. What he doesn’t realize this will do is raise chips prices and manufacturers will simply pass that cost onto consumers.

I suspect this is part of his strategy to hand Taiwan over to the PRC, if “strategy” can be used to describe anything he does.

I got out just in time, it seems.

How much longer will Bluesky survive without doing the same?

I know this got a lot of downvotes, that’s fine. Most of my friends are not tech-savvy or young, they’re not going to be signing up for Lemmy or Mastodon. I’m not ready to lose touch with them entirely. I have taken steps to limit what info Meta can collect from me and stopped posting there entirely. I check in now and then to see if there’s anything big, but that’s it.

I’m waiting to see what happens before I make any moves. I’ve been on Meta apps for over a decade, I don’t want to lose the connections if I don’t have to.

Listen more, talk less.

Friends don’t let friends drive Teslas.

Eventually, it will be all AI-generated users, selling AI-generated products to each other and Zuck will no longer have to pretend to be human.

It’s part of the reason that CO exposure is so dangerous.

Shocker.

I was developing 30 years ago and I love what’s available today. Nostalgia is fine, as far as it goes, but things change and sometimes for the better. This is one of those cases.
