Monument , to news in Steve Bannon must report to prison by Monday after Supreme Court rejects last-minute appeal.

He’s getting the Independence Day he deserves.

Monument , to lemmyshitpost in The internet connects people

Anyone else think this was the “taking a selfie using a silly object” meme at first?

Monument , to news in Biden administration moves toward allowing American military contractors to deploy to Ukraine

What would be a compelling answer?

But you’re not. You’re disagreeing with the person while asking leading questions, then arguing against the answers to the questions you asked.

It’s almost like you’re intentionally wasting their effort and mental energy to deal with your gish-galloping.

Monument , to technology in Google is killing infinite scroll on search results

I’m cynically viewing this as not a positive. I assume this is so they can make pages 2, 3 and so on as spammy as page 1.

Not at first, obviously. You don’t boil that frog on high heat.
You throw out a second page with a cute little text ad off to the side, then 1 or 2 at the top, then a mid-page ad. Maybe some suggested content.

Instead of having to scroll through a page’s worth of ads to get to semi-relevant results with a gem hidden in them, it’ll be a pages worth of ads for your semi-relevant results per page, and maybe what you were looking for 4 or 5 pages in.

Google used to be good. They ‘know’ what people are looking for. So they’ll probably hire someone familiar with gambling to figure out a minimum dispersion of relevant results on the pages, to keep people using the service and scrolling past ads. … I used to remember this. Variable-ratio reward schedule?

Monument , to lemmyshitpost in Lol. Lmao, even.

Oh.

Shit.

Monument , to insanepeoplefacebook in Definitely not a hoax. Trust us on that.

Those prongs must be alien metal to not have oxidized away.

Monument , to nostupidquestions in So is Israel just going to completely overtake Palestine?

That’s also highly valid, and not something I factor heavily into my thoughts about the future of U.S. support.

Shit. Huh. I gotta rethink that.

Monument , to asklemmy in What industry secret are you aware of that most people aren't?

Scary.

Monument , to news in Car dealerships in North America revert to pens and paper after cyberattacks on software provider

Oh, yeah. I just gave up on it. All my info got exposed in the recent AT&T hack, including my SS#, which is available as a data dump on the open web.

My credit is locked, I use a data removal service, and my fingers are crossed. As for the rest… Meh. I’m just gonna keep on swimming.

    Ugh. Yup.

    I learned that after buying my house. My furnace is 3x what my house needs and is expected to be an expensive repair someday.

    So you’re not describing the issue where internet connected EV chargers can be easily hacked, and potentially told to dump the charge of the connected vehicle’s battery on the grid en masse, causing overloads and transformer explosions.

    But a slow moving issue like that sounds like a frequency or voltage issue - something goes under or over enough and isn’t detected via monitoring, causing premature equipment degradation, and potential system collapse. Definitely a lot of expensive damage, though.
    (Basically, a stuxnet-style attack on the utility grid - and we’ve already seen evidence that SCADA/PLC’s can be hacked in the water supply system.)

    A destabilizing push, rather than a hit with a hammer.

    Monument , (edited ) to nostupidquestions in So is Israel just going to completely overtake Palestine?

    Support your claims.

    Edit: With like, actual sources.

    And I didn’t call you stupid. I insinuated that your motives were suspect and that you are dishonest. But I am beginning to think you lack the ability to actually make supportable claims or debate people - which would probably mean … eh. shrug

    I got my oil changed a week and a half ago and they actually said - they couldn’t do certain things because of the cyberattack. As a result they couldn’t log it or print out paperwork or… something. For an oil change it wasn’t a big deal, but I didn’t even think about the rest of the dealership’s operations.

    Fortunately, their payment system is isolated, but it gave me pause before I swiped my card.
