Where I live. (North Carolina), any one involved in a conversation is allowed to record the conversation from the moment they entered it until it ends, without any consent required. This is not uncommon as it allows people to protect themselves from others scams/threats/ect.

Anyone who think their conversation is secure and private is sadly mistaken. Its only private as long as all other parties respect you.

Get over this silly notion that you can say things to someone and it leave no evidence beyond a man's word. The time for low grade liars has passed.

Theyâ(TM)re literally breaking their product and then ransoming it back to you for a monthly protection fee.

Enshitification is too kind of a word

'caught off guard' ...

When? a few years ago?

The usefulness of Apple Unified memory for LLMs is a selling point they've been using for at least a year, if not 2.

It was a marketing strategy, not sure how it 'caught them off guard' when it was part of the plan.

This story keeps popping up around the last week or so and its as if you don't remember that the m3 was is great at it, and marketed for LLMs because of unified memory - and the M4 was more aggressively marketed for AI - in late 2024.

So again, WHEN were they caught of guard? in 2020? And yet dumbass 'journalists' keep reposting the same shit.

What year is this? Itâ(TM)s so wild that SCO is still doing this same bullshit after 30 fucking years!!!!

Jesus! I know that donâ(TM)t have anything else to do, but itâ(TM)s hard to believe that thereâ(TM)s anyone at SCO that would be willing to dust off their parentsâ(TM) failed lawsuits, but apparently there is.

The only people still using it are the ones that will complain about anything they can, and will never be satisfied cause they need this one special tweak that everyone else KNOWS is stupid, but fuck it, we put a VPN in there, why not support the dumbest shit for one dude on his high rocking horse. Who immediately complains about some other stupid idea. So will give him a prompt first use ...

99% of users want things to work without having to answer a bunch of stupid questions based on some developers shit head politics and need to impress his childish view points on users.

And this is why Foxbat will always be nothing better that the replacement for IE6, it will continue to be an example of why developers and their personal politics shouldn't be allowed in the git commit history.

Add another option is usually the result of not beimg able to figure out a better starting point. Its rarely solving problems, usually adding bugs, problems and complexity.

I need a browser that isnt an irrelevant PoS that has spent its entire life with "trying to be a browser" as the last thing on its list of development priorities.

XUL, email, rrs, web page editor, VPN, all sorts of political shit, literally so many options it cant help to be a slow bloated buggy pile if donkey dung.

You live in a fantasy if you think hipaa protects you from data sharing.

When you agreed to medical service and signed the hipaa notice, that you didnt read, it was you agreeing to allow them to share it for business purposes, you are not allowed to opt out and get service ... then it gets mixed in with other data and sold.

You have this false fantasy that anyone cares about hipaa beyond getting you to sign the contract.

The town can simply ban that sort of surveillance. Contract can go fuck itself if the law supersedes it, yes retroactively.

This retarded idea that a company can do whatever it wants because of a weasely contract is false.

The residents control the town, not some secretly foreign run mass surveillance company these idiots keep getting bribed by.

Thats cute. Now put it in front of the public without the person on the other end following your demo script...

All of the sudden its shit.

My company has done this as well, and it works great for the guy who made it, who talks to it with knowledge of its capabilities and nuances... but then as soon as anyone with a slightly different choice of words comes along ... its fucked.

Linux is already a success.

Rust is not fun. I tried it, and I hated it. Maybe you like it if you like abuse, but man. I hated it. It was the least fun I had programming in anything since OCaml.

>One could infer that the State of California thinks its citizens are dumber than the average American, and thus can't be allowed to see triangular arrows lest they draw the wrong conclusion

Or the plastics recycling was always an industry greenwashing campaign, and the vast majority of people actually do believe that sorting their plastics into a recycling bin leads to less plastic being manufactured, and this is just a move to educate the people that plastic recycling is actually a sham.

Though, to be fair - this really isn't an important announcement - its just an improvement developers will appreciate - and a few guys that truly understand hypervisors. The rest of us, at best will say ... 'cool ...'

While not entirely true in desktop land yet - increasingly, more and more things are containerized, then run inside virtualization ... this does matter to everyone, even if its not immediately apparent.

Hey China!

When you want to fund the revolution against the Epstein plutocracy HMU!

I dont use GPL if I can avoid it, even if it means I have to pay. My software is all OSS as in OPEN for anyone to use, via BSD or MIT licenses, and none of it will ever be GPL or any of the derivatives that are designed to intentionally make software have 0 monetary value.

I dont prevent GPL software from using my code, but GPL prevents me from using theirs.

GPL isnt about freedom, its about ensuring no one can make money
