I guess when you have no knowledge of engines and your car doesn’t have one, you have to fixate on other stuff. Shame they don’t fixate on the fact that they’re driving mass surveillance tools.

I saw a gearhead on YouTube refer to a Tesla as an “appliance” and thought that was great.
I work from home, mothafucka.

There is no ethical consumption under capitalism.
They will call it “Priority Support” and it will incur an extra fee.

Memes@lemmy.ml•Only lead works against fascists, but libs can only "Protest and vote" 😁
40·1 month agoProtests that exist within the legal confines of the government you’re protesting against, are essentially just block parties. They’re a release valve.
I definitely didn’t understand most of it then as a kid, but I feel like it opened a doorway that shaped who I am today. That was also in the 90s when US society wasn’t yet destitute for working class families.
My parents were antiwar and liberal af. My mom once told me as a kid that if the draft happened, they’d move me to Canada. So I was radicalized pretty early on about imperialism (in the most rudimentary sense—I was a kid after all).
The drawings weren’t great either lol. I still have them somewhere.
I was drawing pictures making fun of George Bush Sr. in 7th grade. I’ve felt bad about this place for uhhhh… a while.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Apple rolls out mandatory UK age verification with iOS 26.4, requiring users to provide a credit card or ID, a first in Europe, after UK government pressure
2·2 months agoMy struggle is that I want off of iOS, but I’ve also been watching the walls close in on devices that can have their bootloader unlocked. I used to be heavily into Android tinkering (I still own a Nexus 5 and a white G1–still in its box), but left because iOS was easier for my partner to adapt to and easier for us to share various things.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Spez (Reddit CEO) just put out an announcement talking about how they'll verify bots vs humans. Get ready for a wave of new users into the Fediverse pretty soon!
107·2 months agoFunny how this ties nicely into Meta’s lobbying for age verification and how it’s suddenly a conversation we keep seeing crop up. The pattern recognition tools in my brain see nothing but constant red flags these days.
They flooded the web with bots, advertisers are backing out because of it, and now both Spez and Zuck are panicking.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•IOS 26.4 Requires Age Check in the UK after downloading
21·2 months agoI want to do this but I don’t think I can convince my wife to switch back to Android. Any other Apple stuff I own is the last I buy though. From now on, it’s Linux and possibly a Framework laptop in the future, but I’m open minded.
No work is getting done there. They’re pretending it does.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•How much proof is there that smart tvs and phones listen to you?
26·2 months agoMy Samsung TV is not on the WiFi and I have AdGuard running network-wide because of shit like this.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Privacy-Focused Proton Mail Aids FBI in Uncovering ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester’s True Identity
221·2 months agoProton handed over the info to the Swiss government under a specific law. The Swiss government then turned around and readily handed over that info to the FBI without telling Proton that’s what was going to happen.
It doesn’t make anyone innocent here. Just adding that for clarity because this headline I keep seeing is not correct.
Best advice I can give is eat as many vegetables as you can and skip this crap.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•The official Introduction to Github page included an AI-generated graphic with the phrase "continvoucly morged" on it, among other mistakes.
5·2 months agoMy mistake! There is always a morgin of error with this stuff.

As someone that has been writing CSS for something like 18 years, this is peak cringe.
