While corporate America focuses on mainly profits, "fighting for human rights" are just empty slogan, because corporate America is already exploiting human misery for profits. For government, it's going to be "to prevent China from becoming the dominant tech power in the developing world" that's going to drive this sort of initiative, which most likely will have mixed results or fail miserably altogether. Chinese exports are already driving the non-elite consumer markets in the developing worlds.

Hey, dude, I feel I somewhat understand you, because I was the same, and am the same. But here's something I learned a while ago that helped (obviously didn't kill it). It's by now a cliche and is totally commercialized, but hey, if it works.

Habit 1: Be Proactive: Focus and act on what you can control and influence instead of what you can’t.

There are a lot of things you can't control/have causal effects in life. You will kill yourself worrying about them. Drop the bad news you can't change. If you already know who you are going to vote for, just don't read the political news. Do you parts for the climate change and forget the rest. etc.

Live long and prosper.

All the way. Don't settle for just chrome plating.

At least you did post an excellent meme because of the painful, terrible event.

You definitely don't want this stuff to escape into the atmosphere.

Worldcoin, founded by US tech entrepreneur Sam Altman, offers free crypto tokens to people who agree to have their eyeballs scanned.

It claims to be creating a new global “identity and financial network”.

Altman, who founded Open AI, which built chat bot ChatGPT, says he hopes the initiative will help confirm if someone is a human or a robot. He also says this could lead to everyone being paid a universal basic income but it is not clear how.

Sure, bud, hand over our biometrics for your private fiat money, for the promise of unclear-how basic income, meanwhile with your exploiting the poors and manipulating the laws to favor yourself.

PWM saves the URL with the password record. It doesn't auto-fill username/password on a website that the user hasn't already approved, so it provides some phishing-resistance when the URL is unknown, or is just similar to the originally saved URL.

Lemmy!

Somehow, I found the lead scientist's statement and the associated news to be click-baiting. Right, you crash something into a composite rock, and expect no ejecta from it. That's pretty freaking believable. That's like, the most basic physics you can expect from it. This is just to grab your attention so we can get more funding (which they may deserve, even if this is irritating), folks.

Whatever happens on the inside of a robotaxi is generally visible on the outside to bystanders and other motorists, The Standard notes of the AV's "fishbowl-like" design.

"While [autonomous vehicles] will likely be monitored to deter passengers having sex or using drugs in them, and to prevent violence, such surveillance may be rapidly overcome, disabled or removed," the study said. "Private [autonomous vehicles] may also be put to commercial use, as it is just a small leap to imagine Amsterdam’s Red Light District ‘on the move.’"

Convenient meetups, plus the additional benefits for certain fetishes.

But don't worry, folks, we'll take this opportunity to put even more surveillance tech in for you to keep you safe and meanwhile, perfectly maintain your privacy. 🤪

Religions adapt.

Yeah, this is definitely a problem with brand new services, especially when the native app isn't appealing. For example, I use Liftoff for Lemmy. Open-sourced✅ In official Appstore✅ Relatively transparent who the developer is✅ No special permission starting off✅ Relatively few downloads📛 .

When a mobile app doesn't ask for permissions, it's definitely less nerve-racking than the more permissive desktop environments where the apps don't have to be special to do considerable damages.

That's a shit post, man.

Speaking about Windows PC.

1. Not everybody thinks they need such security because it's their home computer.
2. Enabling device encryption necessitates the backup of the encryption key (and backup of the data files); otherwise, you may lose all the contents when things go wrong (like the key disappears after an update). People who don't understand the tech may not know where their backup keys are.
3. Windows Home encryption is a hassle since you don't have finer-grain control over the encryption, unlike Bitlocker on Windows Pro. This is the lamest scheme for Windows. You only get practical basic security with Windows Pro.
4. Enabling system drive encryption may make your system backup/recovery harder or impossible in some configurations. Figuring this out may require some technical expertise.

Not saying that it shouldn't be shut down, but it sounds suspiciously convenient. No backups?

That's like, yenocide.
