Austrian woman is found guilty of fatally infecting her neighbor with COVID-19 (apnews.com)

A woman in Austria was found guilty of fatally infecting her neighbor with COVID-19 in 2021, her second pandemic-related conviction in a year, according to local media. A judge sentenced the 54-year-old on Thursday to four months’ suspended imprisonment and an 800-euro fine ($886.75) for grossly negligent homicide....

Huh, I’m surprised the doctor was allowed to comment on that.

It’s too big. It’s like how Christianity is not classified as a cult.

Why is the US government still insisting on using polygraph tests when they’ve been thoroughly debunked?

Aiden Clark’s dad begs Springfield, politicians: Stop using son to hate Haitians (www.springfieldnewssun.com)

It’s the same rage as when I learned what the Sandy Hook parents have had to endure.

Wonder if it was the pilot or the ATC.

Would you buy "self-hosted in a box" hardware?

I’m considering a business plan for people getting in to self-hosting. Essentially I sell you a Mikrotik router and a refurbished tiny x86 server. The idea is that the router plugs in to your home internet and the server into the router. Between the two they get the server able to handle incoming requests so that you can host...

breakingcups ,

No. People who want the benefit of self housing without worrying about hardware will rent a vps or something simpler. The hard part of hardware isn’t the purchase, it’s the maintenance.

Also, why the separate router?

You… You couldn’t identify the BBC?

Musk's Starlink backtracks and says it will comply with judge's order to block X in Brazil (apnews.com)

SAO PAULO (AP) — Elon Musk’s satellite-based internet service provider Starlink backtracked Tuesday and said it will comply with a Brazilian Supreme Court justice’s order to block the billionaire’s social media platform, X....

All while loudly mouthing off

What a dumb take. They are partaking in the Brazilian economy, are they not? They are accepting payment from Brazilians, providing them with telecommunication services. Distributing terminals. Do you think telecom operators should just have the option to completely ignore the local laws if one aspect of their business crosses an international border?

You replied to the wrong person

Oh wow, you’re so much better than the people you put down!

Why 🤷‍♂️ do users 👨‍💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭?

Ok, the title was an overuse of emojis as a joke. But seriously, I like some limited use of emojis because it helps me convey intention/emotion so that I’m less misunderstood and also adds some more feeling/fun to text content 😄

breakingcups ,

What even is your point? Besides not acknowledging that language evolves.

breakingcups ,

I genuinely wonder what kind of fucking damage you have to have to seek out this shit, wtf…

Seriously, if you’re reading this and this appeals to you, I implore you to not feed this machine money and instead confide in a therapist. I’m not judging you for the way you were molded but I will commend you for taking a first step to break out of that mold of your own accord.

Microsoft backtracks on deprecating the 39-year-old Windows Control Panel | Microsoft has either backtracked or clarified its language to remove the note about Control Panel being deprecated (arstechnica.com)

Last week, Microsoft mentioned in a support document that it was formally deprecating Windows’ 39-year-old Control Panel applets. But following widespread reporting of the change, Microsoft has either backtracked or clarified its language to remove the note about Control Panel being deprecated in favor of the Settings app....

Less functionality as in “unable to open more than one panel at a time”

I stg Windows, every new UI is aggravating half-baked drivel.

(obligatory remark about the fact I mostly use Linux here)

Funnily enough, the reason they switched to those was to use the data to train machine learning (AI) models, just like Google’s recaptcha was originally pictures of words from old, scanned books so they could transcribe all of them “for free” and train their transcription algorithms.

Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 (www.neowin.net)

Let’s put it this way; when Microsoft announced its plans to start adding features to Windows 10 once again, despite the operating system’s inevitable demise in October 2025, everyone expected slightly different things to see ported over from Windows 11. Sadly, the latest addition to Windows 10 is one of the most annoying...

Sam Reich? Did you get a haircut?

It’s fake, sadly. Good reminder not to trust everything people post…

They should hire you instead of whoever came up with the bonehead idea of starting a streaming service.

Police raid Andrew Tate's home in Romania as new allegations emerge involving minors (apnews.com)

BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Masked police officers in Romania carried out fresh raids early Wednesday at the home of divisive internet influencer Andrew Tate, who is awaiting trial on charges of human trafficking, rape and forming a criminal gang to sexually exploit women....

I think you’re entirely missing the point, which is that for all the notable arrests for sexual abuse of children (celebrities, politicians, priests, cops) it’s never someone in drag, even though that’s one of the GOP screaming points in trying to ban drag and trans people. They’re pointing out the ludicrousness of that message.

VPN and tailscale blocked on hotel wifi

I’m travelling for the moment, and usually I just access my home network with tailscale and it has always worked flawlessly. But the hotel I’m staying at apparently blocks VPN connections, I can’t use my regular VPN for work on their network either and I’ve tried obfuscation,different ports etc. nothing seems to work and...

Have you passed their captive portal before turning on the VPN?

Good luck. They own a lot of stuff.

Everything about this is awful, forced arbitration in consumer terms of service are a pox on justice.

When you’re the president, they let you do it. Grab em right by the intel.

Yeah, they’re put there by a tomatow-truck.

You say that as if that practice has been abandoned

This does not require a supply chain attack, just a user ignorantly clicking yes on a UAC prompt. After which the machine is forever compromised, even after replacing ssds / hdds.

If the article is true, that’s astonishingly bad management.

Given the fuckups around definitive editions and the fact that there’s already so many great, free, open source Doom engines and content, this feels like a money grab and a step backwards.

You know what, you’re right, I may be too cynical.

I don’t think anything actually came from this, did it?

It takes a special kind of moron to accidentally buy a popular social against your will and still get hoodwinked by disinformation trolls on the platform you now own.

Wonder if the recent antitrust ruling about Google paying for being the default search engine will affect Mozilla’s funding.

Well, Pastor Dames, it’s not loving for you to say that. Tell that to Jesus!

I had to laugh at this more than anything. What an own goal.

Also, if it’s so dangerous, what adult in their right mind would give a time turner to a child so she can follow more classes? She’ll still literally age the same, spend the same time in school. Just have her take more years at school of age wants to learn more, instead of giving one of the most dangerous items ever to a child so she can use it to literally be in the same building at the same time, something easily verifiable by her classmates.

Just men?

Outsourcing emotion: The horror of Google’s “Dear Sydney” AI ad | The company suggests using AI to write a child’s fan letter and the ad is so bad that Google turned off comments for it on YouTube (arstechnica.com)

If you’ve watched any Olympics coverage this week, you’ve likely been confronted with an ad for Google’s Gemini AI called “Dear Sydney.” In it, a proud father seeks help writing a letter on behalf of his daughter, who is an aspiring runner and superfan of world-record-holding hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone....

Hate to say it, but Kagi is not great. Both in results and in stewardship.

I dunno. I think it adds something of value without being obtrusive.

There’s an interesting case study going on at the moment with that one Dutch Olympian convicted for a sex crime with a minor in the UK who has served his sentence (UK sentence got converted to a Dutch sentence, which meant he was released early). I’m not sure where I fall on this. Morally, I want to agree that serving your sentence means that this history shouldn’t play a role in otherwise unrelated matters. But somehow it also doesn’t feel right to have a convicted pedophile represent Olympic values?

Ridiculous attempt at false equivalence

Look, I’m satiated, I don’t need to discover new apps nor great content through Google Play. Most apps are trash and I’ve never bought content through Google Play.

Despite what others have mentioned, running a different LLM locally, it’s also possible to get ChatGPT to do this sort of stuff by telling it to participate in a “debate exercise” and giving it its talking points.

No, they’ll just see the management summary that Firefox occupies less than 0.5% of their users’ marketshare and prioritize their budget accordingly.
