Rich people at tech companies replace workers with AI, set up a security force that goes after immigrants, surveil the city with a camera network, try to remove the human from the equation, try to upload human consciousness to the cloud, lots of other AI tech dystopian stuff.
Lil Nas X totally sounds like it would be a valid answer here.
Get an old optiplex SFF off Craigslist for $200 and be done with it. Those things last so long, and since it's commodity hardware you can replace individual components that break for not much money.
It makes me miss old Fark. Does something like that exist on Lemmy? A place where people post articles but make up a new headline for it. I think 2007 was peak Fark.
Having worked on products that are renamed to something equally ambiguous, I'd say they are trying to make it more difficult to find because they are trying to redirect customer attention to other places, and are deliberately making it difficult to talk about or search for. Unfortunately this is a very successful strategy. It's also very user hostile, and product engineer hostile. My heart goes out to any engineers that work in this product.
I had a boring manufacturing job with long gaps between batches of work, so I read every help file in Windows NT4.1. While reading them, I found a way around our IT limitations on which apps we could run, and learned how to write scripts. So I wrote a password protected launcher tool using a macro feature in a terminal emulator I had access to on my workstation, and then started reading the man pages in Unix sys-V.
If we're doing felons it's weird that I don't see Steve Bannon, Peter Navarro, Paul Manafort, George Papadopoulos, Roger Stone, Rick Gates, Allan Weisselberg, or President and convicted rapist Donald Trump.
I am not downplaying the supreme engineering of the mars rover team, especially because there is no GPS on mars, but DJI has pre-programmed drone flights that work with their consumer drones, called missions.
This is why the first thing I did when my company got us an agentic LLM was set up devcontainer.
