  • Introducing Google Cloud Fraud Defense, the next evolution of reCAPTCHA | Google Cloud Blog

    Jump

  • I wasn't implying to accept it. I would say actively resisting it, complaining to the companies that utilize it, elect reps that will implement useful regulations is better. To just hide in a corner of the Internet doesn't accomplish much though.

  • I'm not sure this is the right mindset to have. Sure you can isolate yourself for a while but at some point your bank will use this shit. Your doctor will send you a message via their orgs website. Your grocery store will charge you obscene prices if you don't use their app. The Internet has not been an optional utility for many years now.

  • Why Reddit blocked my daily visit to its mobile website

    Jump

  • I still use RIF. Doesn't work very often but I don't read reddit that often.

  • New ‘Jesus-centric’ Christian phone network will block pornography and LGBT content

  • If you have to self police like that, you might have a gay porn problem.

  • Silicon Valley’s Anti-Democratic Turn Begins at Work

    Jump

  • I would like to know how we got to this point. One article I read made the point that counter culture was always a product of conservatism. I don't know if I agree with that. I felt like tech in the 70s-90s was more utopian. Tech will democratize the world, it will level the playing field, it will bring an age of information to everyone, etc. These words aren't much different from the life changing™ slogans used about each software update now so it feels more convoluted. I'd like to know because personally I want to know if it was just me who felt utopian about this stuff back then and its always been this downward spiral, or did something change at some point?

  • Your Truck is Stupid Big

    Jump

  • Interesting how giant stupid trucks attract douchebags world wide.

  • Reddit is finally entirely dead to me

    Jump

  • It's really bad when you start to see how many bots and astroturfing there is. Accounts with thousands of posts a year stirring up shit in all the contentious threads.

  • GameStop makes $55.5bn takeover offer for eBay

    Jump

  • I mean ebay is ok but I do miss things like half.com. Is this the enshitificarion of eBay now?

  • Microsoft has an ambitious plan to win users back, and go toe-to-toe with Valve's SteamOS for gaming — but I'm not getting my hopes up

    Jump

  • Why would anyone get their hopes up about a Microsoft product?

  • New water vole populations found in South Yorkshire

    Jump

  • I don't have data to back this up but I feel like voles are just as important as beavers are for their local environment. They just do it at a smaller scale.

  • It says one of the main reasons the city is sinking is ground water extraction. Is there any effort to stop this to prevent further sinking? Can they bring in water from elsewhere?

  • Removed

    If you hear these then you know what I mean..

    TIL about Detroit Electric

    Jump

  • There were quite a few electric cars, they started in the late 1800s made by multiple companies. Shit they even had electric trains.

  • Solarpunk in healthcare?

    Jump

  • The open source insulin project comes to mind. It's be nice if there were more projects like that.

  • TIL that for the average price of a car in the US, you could buy 5 cars in China

    Jump

  • That was one of the most typed out joke explanations I've ever seen online, I salute your patience.

  • Google Signs Pentagon AI Deal Despite Employee Backlash

    Jump

  • Google employees stop being all talk.

  • Doctor office: Arrive 15 minutes early or forfeit your appointment

    Jump

  • Had a doc that was chronically late. One day he shows up after the nurse had us sit in the room for about 40 mins and during the appointment all this water comes out of his nose. Said he likes to go for a swim during his lunch break.

  • Federal Surveillance Tech Becomes Mandatory in New Cars by 2027

    Jump

  • Its been like this my entire life. When I was in high school in the 90s one of my teachers said the greatest battle your generation will fight will be for privacy. Little did they know there would be no fight. The general public doesn't seem interested in caring about things and voting with their wallet. Now we've reached this point where the game is up and companies have realized the masses will buy their products because people perceive that they "need" them and can't do without which gives them free reign to do whatever they want.
