  • People Are Furious That OpenAI Is Reporting ChatGPT Conversations to Law Enforcement

    Jump

  • AI may have its uses, but corporations and big tech have shattered our trust in them to "do the right thing".

    Yet another shattering of whatever trust they have.

  • Open-Source NVIDIA Linux Driver Usage About To Become Much More Reliable

    Jump

  • Maybe best to avoid NVDA if using Linux, entirely.

    My next build is going to be AMD GPU and CPU with nixOS. I heard GPU support for Linux is better with AMD cards, but honestly haven’t delved into it whether it holds any truth or not.

  • Thunderbird Shares New Details on Upcoming Pro Features (Thundermail's servers to be located in Germany! 🇩🇪)

    Jump

  • I just like the idea that it’s using stalwart as the collaboration server (mail/calendar/contacts) [1].

    I host my own personal mail server with it and have had no issues so far.

  • I finally created the perfect JavaScript runtime: No-JS

    Jump

  • Honestly, many of my colleagues need to use this instead of the balls of mud they manage to create.

    Thoughts on C4 Modeling?

  • Day in the Life: Senior Dev Edition

    Jump

  • Wow you actually get logs from the other devs? I get fucking screenshots of abbreviated stack traces. Often not even the relevant portion of the stack trace or log.

  • Hours of work

    Jump

  • In consulting, that’s called “after work”. Got to pump those billables

    Honestly though, unless it’s a feature that is completely outside the domain of the application. If you have to re-write your entire app then your app was probably dog shit to begin with

    How to Move from Mastodon to Firefish

    Jump

  • First time user of firefish. Kind of like the UI. “Global” section is kind of chaotic. Guess that’s just the fediverse for ya

    How to Move from Mastodon to Firefish

  • I quickly looked through the #news tag, not seeing this. I guess those bots were active at the time?

  • Reddit is testing verification labels for brands

    Jump

  • It’s all in prep for the pump and dump when it IPOs.

  • So 2013-2014? Lol

  • The Fall of Stack Overflow

    Jump

  • Probably questions that can be answered by RTFM

  • Encryption-breaking, password-leaking bug in many AMD CPUs could take months to fix

    Jump

  • Intel had something like this as well (side channel attack?). I remember it because Linus Torvalds (creator of Linux kernel) ripped Intel a new one.

  • Fed’s new instant payment system could be trouble for PayPal, Venmo

    Jump

  • Credit card rewards are really not worth it. These programs are largely funded by the fees that are charged to merchants which are ultimately passed on to you at time of purchase.

    I would much rather have reduced costs of goods rather than have paltry credit card reward programs.

  • Fed’s new instant payment system could be trouble for PayPal, Venmo

    Jump

  • Processing transactions with credit cards incurs fees from middlemen and unnecessarily complicates the merchant-buyer relationship. The merchant ends up paying these fees and ultimately passes this cost to the consumer in the form of a 3-5% or more markup of goods. In some cases, even cash customers are paying the hidden markup as well.

    With FedNow, this has the potential to bypass all of this messiness and severely undercut debit and credit card processing networks. Thus slowly bleeding them out of market share.

    I can definitely see a new market segment of payment processing which disrupts the existing status quo. Could very easily cover expenses of running the operation on a shoe string budget, charge 1-2 cents per transaction, and become profitable in just under a year (assuming high adoption).

    In the end, smaller merchants are able to compete or in some cases undercut bigger stores since they are saving money on CC fees. Consumer has the benefit of more competition in the market and getting that better price. Overall decreased cost of living.

  • Yearly reminder that github still does not have an IPv6 address (2023)

    Jump

  • Also a reminder for me to add IPv6 support for my personal site. I think most cloud providers are able to offer dual ipv4/v6 support if you ask for it/configure it.

    Jump

  • This is what banking looks like if you are poor, unfortunately.

    Those cash checking places are fucking evil. Then the payday loan companies with usury…

  • Fed’s new instant payment system could be trouble for PayPal, Venmo

    Jump

  • Honestly, once it reaches critical mass. It will mean the end of PayPal, Venmo et al AND the credit card industry as a whole.

  • What is your preferred fitness tracker/smartwatch?

    Jump

  • Been using the Apple Watch for the past 3 years (currently on the Ultra) and have been loving it. I’m not a serious athlete but use it to track my daily walks/runs. It keeps me honest and active.

    Plus I have a data line for my watch so I can ditch my phone and still talk, text, and check emails as needed. I hate to admit it but I have completed many meetings with just my Apple Watch + AirPods while on a run/walk.

    Also, it acts as a wallet replacement for the most part. ~8 out of 10 times I can tap and pay with my watch. I only keep 1 physical card and my state ID on me.

  • 'FUCK SPEZ': Reddit Users Unite to Turn r/Place Mural Into a Protest

    Jump

  • There’s something weird about “protesting” a site by continuing to use their site. Hopefully it’s just bot traffic flooding /r/place rather than real people coordinating in real time.
