The states probably need to opt in for state income tax filing or data. Red states typically don’t have income taxes and wouldn’t need this to begin with.

I feel like this article took a quick turn from “Bing went down” to “Google bad”.

I am glad more people realize who’s actually behind DDG and such.

You can also just install or create a third party app to do the same thing.

The responsible car makers showing drivers performing stunts well beyond the ability or legality of most drivers?

You’ve got some kind of chip on your shoulder man. It’s a car company, who cares.

Your premium is 116 EUR per month, plus the taxes people pay – which are much higher in those countries.

You have also traded your freedom.

The UK is currently talking about banning tobacco entirely in the name of reducing health costs despite it being a part of many cultures ceremonies and traditions. New York is still trying to control soda sizes in the name of public health. Canada now offers suicide as an option for people who would have a long (and costly) treatment with low probability of improving health.

Pretty soon you’re setting a death age because old people use most of the healthcare. They make a Star Trek TNG episode about this. en.wikipedia.org/…/Half_a_Life_(Star_Trek:_The_Ne…

There are some real Elon haters out there. I think they’re ugly as sin but I’m happy to see more people driving vehicles with all the crazy safety features, even if they aren’t perfect.

You’re in control of a massive vehicle capable of killing people and destroying property, you’re responsible for it.

Should I use QEMU/virt-manager or Virtualbox for a Windows virtualized instance?

I use Arch Linux, and some apps require me to use Windows. I have tried to get Wine working, but it’s just too much of a hassle. If the only goal of my virtualization setup is to run something like Adobe apps (I’m not doing any gaming on it), will Virtualbox or virt-manager be the quick and easy choice for me? I have tried...

You’ll probably start with virt-manager then move to proxmox. This is the way, it’s only a matter of how long before you realize it’s better.

It’s one thing to make a tool accomplish a task.

It’s another thing to beat the engineers until grandma can operate the tool.

I didn’t like the guy either, and found it funny that his own bullshit killed him in the end, but he did add “value”.

Revealed: a California city is training AI to spot homeless encampments (www.theguardian.com)

Last July, San Jose issued an open invitation to technology companies to mount cameras on a municipal vehicle that began periodically driving through the city’s district 10 in December, collecting footage of the streets and public spaces. The images are fed into computer vision software and used to train the companies’...

root ,

Do you really think the concerns about encampments are all from rent seeking landlords?

Here in Minneapolis it’s the number of murders, gang violence (territory), rape, and human trafficking.

Second tier issues are overdoses, fires, sanitation (which doesn’t sound like much until you see the people with fingers and toes rotting off), and crime rates increasing as they try to make enough money to feed their drug habits.

It’s a very complex issue. Much more complex than “the landlords are upset people aren’t paying rent”.

root ,

Vote better.

root ,

Yeah, it turns out that politicians in both parties are garbage people pandering to the masses.

Instead of voting along party lines people need to vote for real people that can act like adults and actually govern. Most of our government officials are now too busy passing meaningless resolutions, performing the same study that’s popular in all the other cities, or busy on social media pandering to vocal minorities.

Are there any CPUs that work well with Linux that aren't made by Intel or another company on the BDS list/that supports Israel?

I have a Ryzen 3 1300X at the moment and it’s always had this soft lock freezing bug on Linux. I used to dual-boot Windows on this machine and Windows never had the same problem, so I think it is an issue with the Linux kernel (I’ve also replaced nearly every bit of hardware that I originally built the PC with, except for...

His point wasn’t to find a CPU, it was to make a political post in a tech community.

Heroin has a pretty high user satisfaction rating too. You can’t use customer satisfaction as a metric for legality.

Relying on cultural hot topics rather than real character building killed this show. The spore drive was also kinda “out there” though interesting. I wish the best for the cast.

We did fine without it for a very long time. We still do with a lot of software. It’s called voluntarily submitting a bug report and/or core dump.

That’s what they said about Internet Explorer right up until the moment where Microsoft wanted everyone to switch to Edge. Not only could you suddenly uninstall it, but it even started uninstalling itself!

Funny how that happens

The problem with Windows Updates is that they force new ‘features’ on you along with the patches.

With Linux you get to choose how bleeding edge you want to be, and can generally avoid the monetization crap.

Ubtuntu Desktop definitely tries to push a few things but it’s not even remotely as bad as Windows.

I prefer to live without my software nudging me to do anything.

How would you feel if your hammer stopped working after a while and each new hammer suddenly looked a lot more like a screwdriver because the company wants to sell you screws?

It’s called preaching to the choir. We are not your target audience.

Calm down bud. I had no issue with the initial post, but the comment I replied to sounds like you’re trying to actually elicit change. My response was meant to make it clear that the general audience here agrees and you need to focus your efforts elsewhere.

UK Trial: Pornhub's Chatbot Halts Millions from Accessing Child Abuse Content (www.wired.com)

A trial program conducted by Pornhub in collaboration with UK-based child protection organizations aimed to deter users from searching for child abuse material (CSAM) on its website. Whenever CSAM-related terms were searched, a warning message and a chatbot appeared, directing users to support services. The trial reported a...

root ,

Spot on. The availability of CSAM was overblown by a well funded special interest group (Exodus Cry). The articles about it were pretty much ghost written by them.

When you’re the biggest company in porn you’ve got a target on your back. In my opinion they removed all user content to avoid even the appearance of supporting CSAM, not because they were guilty of anything.

PornHub has been very open about normalizing healthy sexuality for years, while also providing interesting data access for both scientists and the general public.

“Exodus Cry is an American Christian non-profit advocacy organization seeking the abolition of the legal commercial sex industry, including pornography, strip clubs, and sex work, as well as illegal sex trafficking.[2] It has been described by the New York Daily News,[3] TheWrap,[4] and others as anti-LGBT, with ties to the anti-abortion movement.[5]”

Of the future? They’re a duplicate of what Apple was doing with software as far back as the mid 90s.

Every ounce of performance we squeeze out of our hardware is replaced with pounds of bloat like this.

It’s fine for a utility or something you’ll hardly ever need to use, but running every day software like this is a complete waste.

root ,

The applications have binaries and libraries bundled for multiple arches. I wasn’t speaking to the package manager.

root ,

Having every application load their own version of a library into memory is bloat.

Right. That’s why you build the software against a common library version.

How about enforcing the existing laws?

Crime stats depend on people reporting crimes. Something that is actively discouraged in blue states. You don’t need a six figure salary when the cost of living is low. California has the 5th highest infant mortality rate in th country. Not everyone needs to pay a few years wages to a paper mill for a diploma they’ll never use in their trade. California, Texas, New York and Florida have the four largest economies in the US. This hardly follows party lines.

root ,

I live in Minneapolis bud. You will be actively shouted down for even mentioning that you considered reporting a crime because “the police might shoot them”. Additionally, all property crimes here must now be reported to 311 (not the police) which is purely to get you a case number for insurance. They don’t pursue them.

As for GDP, yeah man, urban areas are blue. It’s not because they’re better, it’s because poor people congregate there for public services.

Good riddance.

This is why we have roommates when we’re young and dumb.

$5700 for a bike is a bit of a luxury, that’ll buy you a 2024 Honda Rebel DCT last I looked. I bought an '04 Shadow last year for $2000, maybe aim lower?

The reason for the difference is that it’s a lot easier to destroy and steal a motorcycle, leaving nothing for the bank to repossess.

Money is just a way for us to exchange labor indirectly. Stealing money is stealing another person’s time.

Because all they’re doing to support 20Gbit is swapping some SFP+ or switches, and a new drop down menu in the CMS.

You can and should improve your technology as your political employees work on deployment to new markets.

[Rumor] Apple To Issue New Software Update For iPhone 12 To Bring Its Radiation Down To Acceptable Levels (wccftech.com)

To prevent the iPhone 12 from being banned in France, Apple is reportedly working to release a software update that is said to bring down the radiation levels to accommodate the request of French regulators. Before being officially released back in 2020, it was reported that Apple knew about this problem and instructed its...

Software radios can do many things that are against the rules, the governing bodies only care about how they’re actually being used for the most part.

Also, the measurements are over time. It’s possible to exceed the total allowed in short bursts.

Super cool. I look forward to the population adjusted maps.

This sounds a lot more like “Elon thinks the HR dept is a waste of money” than “Elon hates immigrants”.
