Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Republicans Want You to Die6·2 months agoWhich is why I’ve always pushed back on the idea that Republicans care about profits over people. They care about enforcing the hierarchy first and foremost. They’ll sacrifice profits as long as it allows them to rub more shit into the face of the common man.
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish governmentEnglish28·3 months agoAt the rate it’s growing, it’s going to get outlandish very quickly.
FIDO2 and security keys are the closest things we have to a solution. Unfortunately far too few companies support them. It would have saved him here because each credential only works with the proper URL for it.

And if you monitor Slickdeals, you can often get a copy for under $40.
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand Trump A Censorship MachineEnglish9·3 months agoIt’s not even that. Rich and poor both depend on section 230 existing. This is politicians being out of touch morons.
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Democratic Senators Team Up With MAGA To Hand Trump A Censorship MachineEnglish6·3 months agoSection 230 is supported by the corporate types too since all the big Internet companies would cease to exist without it. This is brain dead boomers not understanding how the Internet works.
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•TIL that "nginx" is pronounced "engine-x", and not "n-jinx"1·4 months agoThere actually are rules. They’re just complicated because English prefers to preserve the pronunciation of loan words without changing their spelling and English has a ton of loan words. If you ignore them, native English words are fairly consistent.
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump threatens tariffs on any nation that taxes Big TechEnglish2·4 months agoWhy do you think the ad network wouldn’t handle it similar to how payment platforms already handle sales/VAT?
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump threatens tariffs on any nation that taxes Big TechEnglish3·4 months agoIt’s actually pretty easy to know which country an IP belongs to. ARIN, RIPE, etc all keep public databases tracking what ASN blocks are allocated to each country.
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Robot with 1,000 muscles twitches like human while dangling from ceilingEnglish18·4 months agoNo, it’s pretty much only you thinking that. The rest of us were thinking about the 6 tiny bones in the ears only used for hearing or dozens of weird little bones in the wrists and ankles.

Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•FTC launches probe of Microsoft over bundlingEnglish263·6 months agoI support most of what Lena Khan has done, but this is stupid. Cybersecurity features should be built into the base package of all cloud products. The fact that so many charge extra for them is and always has been bullshit. It’s like trying to sell a car but charging extra to include seat belts and air bags.
The complaint should be that they’re selling a product that is unsafe in its base offering.
Cornelius_Wangenheim@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Justice should be equalEnglish342·6 months agoLooking at this, the vast majority of them are adults: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_shootings_in_the_United_States_by_death_toll
