  • Yeah, photos with that gesture are usually just taken in bad faith of somebody doing something completely different.

    On the other hand, the video is clear and explicitly of the guy purposefully doing the entire gesture.

  • The Apple II was very good. I always wished I could get one.

    (And by the date, and by the impossibility of it being about the Apple original, that's exactly the computer the OP is talking about.)

  • As long as there is an war going on for the rest of Putin's life, I don't think he cares about the any of those problems.

    All he cares about is that if there isn't a war going on, Russians will start to look at what their own government does.

    I hope the TikTok users take the hint and move to something else. (You know, something not run by fascists, where they can stay for a while.) Because it's only downhill from here.

  • They were faster. At the computers at the time.

    They also transmitted data faster, at the internet at the time.

    One thing they didn't do was to allow for meetings. You'd need to go as far as Skype for that. Yeah, Skype worked faster and transmitted data faster, but MS brought it and now it doesn't.

    Also, the other thing they didn't do was to share your calendar with Outlook. Teams actually doesn't do that one well, and there are some groupware software that work better (none from MS), but you'll be getting into the deep woods of software your security team never heard about.

  • with obvious political agendas

    On the case of Brazil, I think it has economical reasons. Meta sells stuff that compete with the social infrastructure it was trying to destabilize.

    I would really like to see some laws against media concentration. It's not even important who the media is. Instead, we have some laws that are the opposite of that, so if we solve the Meta problem, something else is due to break shortly after.

    But hey, it's entertaining anyway.

  • Apparently, Meta has just taken part in a huge destabilizing propaganda campaign here in Brazil. The kind that criminal law has punishment for.

    It will certainly take a while to gather all evidence and verify it, so I'm saving the popcorn for later. But I just ensured I have enough kernel for a US-sized portion...

  • The role they play on the court is bad, and shouldn't exist. A criminal court shouldn't be "the State against X", it should be X defending themselves, and the State looking for what really happened. Nobody should be "against X". The State goes against specific people in kangaroo courts, not real ones.

    And yeah, names don't always matter. But on this case they seem to reflect the reality almost perfectly.

    On "District Attorney", they don't defend the district on courts. But this one name seems to not matter.

    Also, honestly, I don't know how your rules for confession aren't constantly questioned on international courts for violating human rights. You can't just take a defendant's word that they did it.

    Anyway, none of that is "corruption" exactly. It's a different problem. Don't expect the remedies that exist for corruption to work with it.

  • It's way less innocuous than you think.

    But yeah, it's only the stuff that you'd expect it to send. And only the stuff it needs to send. But the thing is, the valuable data those social networks gather is almost exactly that. They will invade your privacy and get everything they can, but the real value is on that and what you read. (What you read isn't shared here.)

  • So, to make it clear, your criticism of SpaceX is that they are trying to do stuff that is too hard, and they shouldn't try?

    Because yes, that may be warranted. But I don't think they are betting the farm on it.

    But also, that's because of capitalism somehow?

  • NASA would be working on the 2nd prototype by now. Also, NASA abandoned manned ships because they were unable to keep them safe.

    And yes, they are having a hard time. It is to be expected or are they missing the easy stuff? Who knows? It's something nobody has done before.
