@shoq "I've been surprised to see how much my son's relationships (whether platonic or otherwise) have played out over his phone — texting and memes rule the day...My son and his friends often "hang out" for hours at a time, too, but they do so separately, at their own homes, often over the phone or through an online game. "
Maybe it's just me being a computer geek but this sounds like how most of my friends and I interact as adults and have way way before the pandemic. I mention the pandemic since the author blames it for these behavioral patterns. What they describe sounds like most adult people I know aged 60 and under. Maybe I'm missing something.
"Absolutely no reasonable org will allow this Microsoft Recall shit! It's a security nightmare!"
I just saw an organization that is planning to use it to "measure employee productivity" and search for "policy violations." (Not naming names.)
Remember: there are more than a few large orgs out there that gleefully install keyloggers on the same bogus pretense. (And absolutely will not tell you, the employee.)
They already see Recall as a goldmine for abusing their employees.
@rootwyrm I was pitched helping to create a startup that was going to use keylogging/tracking and AI to “help workers be more efficient to make their job easier.” I responded, “When was the last time major gains in efficiencies primarily benefited the workers rather than the owners?” It is so transparent what is going on. After back and forth about that is truly their intention I ended with whether it is the intention or not to fuck over the workers that is where that will inevitably end. No, me passing on it wasn’t going to stop it from happening, as they pointed out, but I want nothing to do with it either way.
@popey@ahoneybun One of the things I like about Tidal, and Spotify before I switched to Tidal, is generating monthly, annual, and all time "most listened to" playlists. Out of thousands of songs I have in multiple lists I probably listen to the same 100 songs 90% of the time.
This is an absolutely insane request, and I can't believe how many people on Fedi of all places are boosting this.
If you're a journalist or a blogger or whatever and you want to write about this stuff, you don't need fucking permission from anyone to do so. I understand that it might be inconvenient for the project involved, but that's just the reality of developing out in the open.
I am obviously not going to write about this because I don't give a shit, but if you do give a shit... Write about it six ways 'till Sunday and assuming you're not making shit up or lying, don't let anyone attack you for it.
@cgsines ...and evidence that all the ballots were made with paper from Jina whose writing can be changed from the Soros owned Jewish Space lasers... :)
@Wen I have a NeXT slab that a coworker gave me in the early-2000s. I haven't turned it on for awhile. I kind of want to get it and most of my retro-computing collection recapped (or at least looked at by a hardware person) at this point. I do spend time dabbling with versions of NeXTSTEP I never could play with on InfiniteMac.org though :) infinitemac.org/
@Adventurer Same. I'm sick of looking at it and being pissed that we've let the MAGA GOP co-opt it as their political symbol. The rest of us need to take it back to being a symbol for all.
