I would vote for him as prime minister.... The federal NDPs need a change

I'm surprised some marketing genius at the intel/amd hasnt started using the bigger numbers

Not sure how much this will be but pine64 already has a risc-v development laptop available for a long time

Edit: not a laptop but a tablet

9488fcea02a9 ,

Oops, i was confused. They have a risc-v tablet but shown with a keyboard accessory so it looks like a laptop

So... Only slightly more than 2 microsofts ($3.2T market cap)

9488fcea02a9 ,

Oh look, two more publicly traded companies that are beholden to shareholders and single mindedly focused on profit.

Just because they're cheaper doesnt mean they aren't just as greedy as Loblaws

9488fcea02a9 ,

That said, I think Costco is clearly the lesser of these particular evils. I have no doubt that given time they'll turn to shit, but thus far (to my understanding) they at least pay something resembling a living wage and have reasonably consumer-friendly policies.

You're absolutely right. Give credit where credit is due.

But eventually when the line stops going up then all of those worker/customer friendly policies will go out the window.

Shit must be really bad in japan if this dude is doing OK making just over minimum wage, in the highest (or second highest) cost of living cities in canada....

I mean, compared to the sterotypical salaryman hours, it is short

CEO of Google Says It Has No Solution for Its AI Providing Wildly Incorrect Information ( futurism.com )

You know how Google's new feature called AI Overviews is prone to spitting out wildly incorrect answers to search queries? In one instance, AI Overviews told a user to use glue on pizza to make sure the cheese won't slide off (pssst...please don't do this.)...

I hate the AI hype right now, but to say the entire thing should fail is short sighted.

Imagine people saying the following:
"The internet is just hype. I get too much spam emails. I hope the entire thing is a catastrophic failure."

Imagine we just shut down the entire internet because the dotcom bubble was full of scams and overhyped....

"product" that doesn't really work, and which they can't make any better

LLMs "dont work" because people are promising idiotic things and being used recklessly for things they are not good at. This is like saying a chainsaw is a failed product because it's not good at slicing sushi

It was obvious from day 1 how useful the Internet would be. Email alone was revolutionary

Hindsight 20/20. There were a lot of people smarter than you and i predicting that the internet was just a fad

9488fcea02a9 ,

That dynamic would mean reddit is full of people who sound very very confident in the joke position

A lot of the time people on reddit/lemmy/the internet are very confident in their non-joking position. Not sure if the same community exists here, but we had /r/confidentlyincorrect over on reddit

Loblaws, Sobeys owners under investigation by Competition Bureau for alleged anti-competitive conduct ( www.cbc.ca )

Canada's Competition Bureau has launched investigations into the parent companies of grocery chains Loblaws and Sobeys for alleged anti-competitive conduct, court documents reveal, with Sobeys' owner calling the inquiry "unlawful."...

Cant wait for my $10 gift card!

9488fcea02a9 ,

Short arm...

I hit big once when it dropped to $40, but i've been losing big ever since

9488fcea02a9 ,

Its maybe a small thing, but being packaged in linux repos would be huge for me

Being able to type

$sudo apt install winamp

Would be so cool

‘My whole library is wiped out’: what it means to own movies and TV in the age of streaming services ( www.theguardian.com )

*What rights do you have to the digital movies, TV shows and music you buy online? That question was on the minds of Telstra TV Box Office customers this month after the company announced it would shut down the service in June. Customers were told that unless they moved over to another service, Fetch, they would no longer be...

If buying isnt owning then piracy isnt stealing

Werent a bunch of the fires started by arsonists?

Debian sid user here, and long time keepassxc user

Debian maintainer didnt communicate this well, but i agree that i dont want my password manager having any access to networking or interacting with anything other than the clipboard.

I'm not a developer or a security expert. This is just my gut feeling talking

9488fcea02a9 ,

To be fair, it looks like the debian maintainer started the unfriendly discourse by calling the work of other FOSS devs "crap"

Everyone needs to chill out, otherwise we have another potential XZ social engineering attack

It would be catastrophic for something like keepass to have a malicious maintainer take over

9488fcea02a9 ,

Sane move by maintainer, but he should not go around calling other people's code crap unless there is proof that the code was actually crap with gaping security hole

9488fcea02a9 ,

Why not just fix sudo then?

9488fcea02a9 ,

Did you know the early early internet researchers were part of a clandestine government organization known as ARPANET???? The entire TCP/IP stack is just a state-sponsored backdoor into your life!!!

WAKE UP SHEEPLE!!!!

9488fcea02a9 ,

Are you not aware of how insanely popular PP is right now? I agree he is a piece of shit, but he is polling very high

He is almost certainly going to be the next PM at this rate, which is a scary thought....

9488fcea02a9 ,

Some people think this is a desireable feature

I personally hate having 96kbps "live" recordings from someone's cell phone suddenly injectef into my stream. But i havent used youtube music since shortly after they became youtube music

RIP google play music

So.... Men act like dicks when there is a woman around or when they are back in "the rest of the world"? At which point their sense of brotherly love and cameraderie disappear? How is that a woman's fault?

How is that the fault of, "fucking propaganda painting men as inherently predators"?

Sounds like a problem with that group of men....

I have tons of male friends who dont "flex" or act like dicks when they are outside of an all-male setting

I'm not against men's clubs, btw.... But the idea that men cant be toxic outside of a men's club is a terrible premise for a men's club

AI hiring tools may be filtering out the best job applicants ( www.bbc.com )

an AI resume screener had been trained on CVs of employees already at the firm, giving people extra marks if they listed "baseball" or "basketball" – hobbies that were linked to more successful staff, often men. Those who mentioned "softball" – typically women – were downgraded....

9488fcea02a9 ,

Thats ok... Idiotic hiring practices will filter out the worst companies

I'm not a dog breed expert, but...

The other day an agressive dog that looked like a pitbull, suddenly lunged at me barking loudly... It was about 10ft away from me but still scared the shit out of me

The owner yanked the dog back on its leash and i thought, "FML, the only thing that saved me from a deadly mauling was a 3/4 inch wide piece of nylon with a metal clip the guy bought off amazon for $5"

9488fcea02a9 ,

not sarcasm at all...

regardless of breed, this dog looked like he was about to fuck up my whole day, so my point stands
