that’s how you end up on a chair zip-tied to the outer hull

it’s like that old IBM slide days. “A computer can never be held accountable. Therefore a computer must never make a management decision.” i find that quote meaningful in a lot of contexts but it’s especially relevant when we’re actually talking about management

intelligence is knowing the AI is the tool, wisdom is knowing the user is the tool

The company shared that it would go “all-in” on the mobile version of the platform in February.

TIL there’s a non-VR version of Horizon. wasn’t the whole point that it was VR? what’s even left if you take out the VR, just voice chat?

i personally find bananna audio the most appealing

i think what artyom is getting at is that showing google maps works the way we already knew it worked isn’t much of a point, let alone a big one

wild how far technology has marched on and yet we’re still essentially using the same basic idea behind technicolor. but hey, if it works!

ooh duly noted thank you

the only integration i want between my phone and my car is a 3.5mm audio jack. i’m driving a 2016 right now and am dreading replacing it because i doubt i’ll be able to find anything without this “infotainment” crap. i thought i had read that those were being phased out because consumers unilaterally hated them, so reading the opposite here is a huge bummer

i think about this every time i open outlook on my phone and have to wait a full minute for it to load and hopefully not crash, versus how it worked more or less instantly on my phone ten years ago. gajillions of dollars spent on improved hardware and improved network speed and capacity, ans for what? machines that do the same thing in twice the amount of time if you’re lucky

appropriate given they’ve been screaming “DON’T YOU WANT ME” at disinterested parties all this time

what confuses me the most about these videos is the call to action. go back? that’s not how time works!

were electronic dictionaries a bigger deal in japan than elsewhere? as far as i know, in america they were never anything more than novelties even before everyone had a computer in their pocket. i did a little googling and it seems like they were/are more common in japan but couldn’t find any reference as to why. my only guess is that it has something to do with keeping track of kanji but in the 80s they probably weren’t even capable of displaying kanji so /shrug

The CIO said ‘Why do we need a wiring closet, we’re a cloud first company’."

you have to laugh, because otherwise you’d cry

yeah but where’s the pun in that

what do we call this scandal? seagate? seagate…gate?

not only are they still at it but they’re firmly in the “kicking ass” column while their remaining contemporaries are increasingly being filed under “no really it’s ok you can retire now please” category

finally, an NEC PC-108

we here are bluesky are thrilled to accept Series A funding for Face-Eating Leopards, Inc. despite this we ensure that Leopards will not eat your face

The one drawback to Bluesky’s block feature is that a user’s block lists aren’t private. Through third party apps, you can find lists of everyone anyone’s blocked. That probably won’t bother most people, but it’s a potential issue for those who worry that public block lists could be used perniciously by persistent stalkers or harassers.

The only missing function is the ability to lock your account or go private as you can on Twitter, which would let you hide your account from non-followers while still posting to folks who already follow you.

But Bluesky has gotten considerable criticism at key points over the last year and a half for failures in handling anti-Black racism in particular. Rudy Fraser wrote extensively about some of these issues along with a deep dive into his goals and challenges as the creator of the now legendary Blacksky feed in a great post a year ago.

Every time someone recommends me Bluesky, I learn something else about it that makes me never want to make an account. Any one of these three quotes should be a dealbreaker on their own
