Today I Learned@lemmy.world•TIL that in uber in certain countries you can select a driver that does not talk for people who prefer silent drivesEnglish
1·5 days agoId love that, but… Define
interestingso that this option fits for everyone. Because, yes - talking about the weather is usually just filler content, talking about local sports and their performance clubs may be somewhere in the range of a enjoyable engaged conversation to uninteresting filler content.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is checking age at os-level that bad?
3·11 days agoShould all cars have breathalyzers installed by default?
Yes!
But should all cars have a reader for your government ID and drivers license and immediately log every use of your car to $authority?

Technology@lemmy.world•System76 tries to talk Colorado down over OS age checksEnglish
310·13 days agoAre we talking about biological age or mental age which means that most adults are still just honey teens with just a tad better impulse control?
Even if you look both ways, you can still get killed by a falling flower pot, because you didn’t look up.

Also I love how some of them are “quick scribbles in Paint” while others are much more detailed and polished

privacy@lemmy.ca•Can we use youtube SIs to mess with the algorithm?
2·18 days agoNever checked that, but this assumes, that your SI is static. They could make it unique per link you share. Or per video category. Or change it every few minutes/hours/days. Or…
Unless you know it’s not just some static identifier, all tinkering with it is prone to be filtered out, as they might see invalid use of that SI. Heck, even if it’s static, they might just record which links were shared at all and discard all other links that weren’t shared by that person.

Privacy@lemmy.ml•Dear Meta Smart Glasses Wearers: You’re Being Watched, Too
39·19 days agoThe wearers of these glasses probably don’t want that footage seen by third parties. And the contractors sure seem like they’d rather not watch it—though they risk losing their job if they decide not to label something. “You understand that it is someone’s private life you are looking at, but at the same time you are just expected to carry out the work,” an employee told the papers. “You are not supposed to question it. If you start asking questions, you are gone.”
We at $COMPANY value your privacy and will process your data with the utmost care.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Letting users fill out a form before notifying them that they need to sign in to submit it is scummy and needs to end.
5·20 days agoThere’s an app that I find useful. Many many years ago (on Android 2.3 or maybe Android 4?) I got a lifetime license for it.
Then a few years ago they updated the app and introduced a subscription. I don’t care, because the features that I use are still accessible in the grandfathered lifetime license. BUT after every update without a subscription you now need to complete the whole “let’s personalize this app for you” thing. Afterwards it just dumps you onto a screen to select the subscription you want to pay for. You need to dismiss that screen in order to use the free features OR login and restore your old license to unlock most of the features.
They intentionally put a white X to dismiss that screen in the top left, but also put a very bright image there directly under it, so that it’s barely recognizable.

News@lemmy.world•3 F-15s shot down by Kuwait in friendly fire incident, pilots safe, US says
3·21 days agoHeh, amateurs. You do not put such important orders in the prompt or other context that gets constantly compacted (and thus fuzzy). Fix your LLM client.
(Or… Maybe, I don’t know, put some guard rails in cold hard traditional non-vobe-code to begin with?)

Technology@lemmy.world•Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea.English
3·22 days agoAgreed. The US can access/subpoena any data it wants from US companies, even if the servers they host the data on are in Europe or Asia or…
It doesn’t matter where the servers and the data is located. It matters who posses (or controls the access) to it.

Fun fact: Did you know that the dose of 400mg is the ceiling if your goal is to lower pain and higher doses only affect other effects (e.g. being anti-inflammatory) of ibuprofen (and it’s unwanted side effects, too)?
