Technology@lemmy.world•Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws
1·4 months agoThis does come with a (maybe trivial) cost for those hosts of not being able to enter the UK.
mullvad as outcast tier while…it’s advertised on public transit and highway billboards

Technology@beehaw.org•Reddit blocks Internet Archive to end sneaky AI scraping
35·5 months agobullshit framing. this isnt reddit defending privacy. it’s protecting the user data they want to sell to AI trainers. while killing the archival record.
Ages ago someone wrote a bash script that would calculate your “stallman score”, essentially checking the license of every package in your system.

Technology@lemmy.world•YouTube looks to be testing server-side ad injection to counter ad blockers
24·2 years agoWith the state of AI and computer vision, and legal requirements to disclose ads, i wonder if a ytdl + editing script will he the nicest way to watch at some point

Technology@lemmy.ml•US-supplied HIMARS 'completely ineffective' against superior Russian jamming technology, report says

Technology@lemmy.world•Elon Musk's xAI plans to build 'Gigafactory of Compute' by fall 2025 — using 100,000 Nvidia's H100 GPUs

Also KDE here, but largely without modifications from defaults. I turn off a few things, but more or less it’s exactly what i expect from a DE without taking up too many resources. I really buy in to the K-suite apps for almost everything too, so it all works together nicely.
This begs some reflection. what is a"job", functionally? What would be needed for losing it to be good?
I suspect a system with jobs would not eradicate jobs, just change them.
Self hosting means having an application run on your own server. The easiest introduction is probably using raspberrypi to run something like Jellyfin

0·2 years agoFirst, don’t conflate Israel with Jews. It is a government not a religious authority, and using Judaism as a veil is deeply antisemitic.
Second, this is an infantile understanding of colonization. Shall we give Crimea back yo to the Greeks? They inhabited it 3,000 years ago. Clearly not, and if Greece invaded and exploited the land and the people we’d call them colonists.
This blood and soil logic is exactly what european nationalists use to expell Jews. Comically such advocates of this logic also rarely support returning land to indigenous peoples in the US…

World News@lemmy.ml•Israel bombs Iran's embassy in Syria, kills commanders says Iran
291·2 years agoThey’re confident in their backing and feel invincible. Lebanon, a small coastal neighbor with sites from ancient judea. Expanding into the territory is probably on their timeline.


Unfortunately video platforms are also much harder on small hosts. More storage, more bandwidth, harder to moderate.
I feel like the solution might be a media management company, like buffer, offering to host videos directly and over a open protocols for a small upgrade in addition to posting to YT et all.
