X plans to collect biometric information, job, education history for safety, security, and identification purposes.

Jump

  • This increasing interest in biometric data, not just from "X", is concerning to say the least

    • A Draft Of TikTok’s Plan To Avoid A Ban Gives The U.S. Government Unprecedented Oversight Power

    Jump

  • Because GitHub has load balances that direct traffic occasionally through a server hosted under Chinese jurisdiction.

    Where the hell did you get that from? Do you have a source for that?

    • Are you smarter than a scammer? Take this quiz.

    Jump

  • I feel like this link is a scam itself lol

    • Torrent Like a Pro - A Guide to Safe Torrenting with qBittorrent + Aggregated torrent search engine

    Jump

  • If you're downloading manually there aren't really a lot of advantages to this I think, unless you search through 10 or more sites every time. For automated downloads using sonarr/radarr/lidarr/.. it's pretty mandatory.

    • US can cut building emissions by up to 91%, saving $100 billion a year in energy-related costs, modeling study shows

    Jump

  • That seems to be the trend nowadays, repeating the same thing as if they were trying to meet a quota. Often I see articles about a single tweet of about 100 characters, just summarizing the tweet several times with no additional info. Generating an article with AI would probably be even better now, especially when it's just a summary of a study.

    • [DISCUSS] Pros/cons of videos for technical documentation?

    Jump

  • For me personally it's easier to watch a video than to read a blog post or whatever these days. That's mostly because I can listen/watch while doing chores. However, if I need to use it later there's just no way I can find it or find what was in it. I like the format of Theprimeagen in particular when he goes over blog posts, I can always refer to that when I want to. So I'd say:

    • videos as a replacement for written media: no
    • videos as an addition to written media: yes

    I think Supabase does this well. The documentation is there, videos are more specific and lengthy

    • Dbrand on LMG/LTT situation

    Jump

  • If your whole brand is based on being an asshole, I don't see why it would be any different internally tbh

    • [RANT] I pay $70/mo for this privilege

    Jump

  • There are still plans with data caps in Belgium, this is limited to the "cheapest" plans though at about 30 EUR a month

    • New Zealand man wrongly jailed for 18 years wins S$4m payout

    Jump

  • So that's about 2.95M USD or 2.7M EUR, I wouldn't go to prison for 18 years for that amount of money that's for sure.

    • Twitter/X removing the block feature

    Jump

  • Maybe his 4D chess move is trying to push everyone to federated apps, what a great guy!

    • Twitter/X removing the block feature

    Jump

  • He's probably having a fit over everyone blocking him from their feeds

    • Permanently Deleted

    Jump

  • What is with everyone's obsession, government or company, to moderate the web. It's seriously depressing and exhausting.

    • X is working on ID verification, what’s next?

    Jump

  • I haven’t found any info on such regulation existing

    In Belgium, the RRN (SSN) is considered confidential data and its use is restricted to specific purposes, typically related to administrative, legal, or public interest matters. To ask for RRN, you'd need authorization and it's highly unlikely you'd get it just to validate someone's social media account.

    • [❓] ChatGPT's fate hangs in the balance as OpenAI reportedly edges closer to bankruptcy

    Jump

  • Did they try turning it off and not on again? 🙃

    • The recent criticism of Linus Tech Tips, explained

    Jump

  • I can differentiate situations depending on context

    I think you're missing context though. It wasn't addressed in the video.

    • lemmy.world blocked the largest piracy community in all of lemmy

    Jump

  • Ah thanks, I couldn't find anything about it. I run all my stuff on a server behind a Tailscale network, so nothing is accessible without VPN access. I thought it might need connections from other instances.

    • LMG has made a response video to Gamers Nexus' concerns

    Jump

  • It's always been that way lol

    • Thoughts on decentralized IMs like SimpleX and WireMin?

    Jump

  • Google is full of similar posts, all linking to deleted posts. This is spam

    • Thoughts on decentralized IMs like SimpleX and WireMin?

    Jump

  • The fact that WireMin doesn't redirect to https and the contact email is some weird gmail address says a lot. I also steer away from the web3 stuff in general.

    This also seems like a poor way to advertise:

    From all the google results I can find, It seems whoever posts this shit has a habit of removing it shortly after and reposting it later

    • Most bosses regret how they mandated workers return to the office. They blamed it on not having enough data

    Jump

  • Do bad thing, say you handled bad thing wrongly, hope people forget bad thing.
