Technology@lemmy.world•‘The Government Hopes To Set a Precedent’: An Interview With the Man Charged for Allegedly Wiping His GrapheneOS PhoneEnglish
168·24 days agoTo be clear I don’t agree with this statement, but the steelman counterargument would be something like: if the president of the United States were to destroy evidence of a crime, shouldn’t that also be a crime?

Privacy@programming.dev•To British: Sign the petition "Introduce an immediate ban on the sale and promotion of smart glasses"
51·25 days agoHow about a smart necklace then? Or a smart-er watch? Dashcam? The shape doesn’t really matter.

Technology@lemmy.world•It’s Looking Like the Cybertruck Is the Biggest Flop in Automotive HistoryEnglish
561·28 days agoWhen the cybertruck was first announced, I actually appreciated how different it looked, but its performance and association to Musk has entirely ruined any hope of me ever liking a low-poly vehicle ever again.

Technology@lemmy.world•Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency ProjectsEnglish
2·29 days agoIt’s equal to the calories contained in that many cheeseburgers or expended while eating? Or in making that many cheeseburgers? And are we talking like Big Macs or Whoppers?
I was curious, and redid the math using cars (a unit I can understand). Works out to about 370 cars. That’s equivalent to like… 0.0006 cars per user.

Technology@lemmy.world•Codeberg Bans Cryptocurrency ProjectsEnglish
194·1 month agoUgh. Yes, cryptocurrencies are full of scams, and yes, memecoins as dumb as hell, but that doesn’t make the entire space worth banning. They don’t ban BitTorrent implementations because 99.9%[1] of the traffic is copyright infringement.
Ethereum, for example and chosen only because I’m most familiar with it, doesn’t burn electricity any more, is about empowering users, and has real use cases.
There are plenty of serious developers building useful technology in the space. Cryptocurrencies are censorship-resistant, and bad actors will inevitably use them, but that’s true of any open technology.
Ban projects that are themselves scams or fraudulent, but it’s unreasonable to reject an entire class of technology because those projects exist.
unsubstantiated hyperbole. ↩︎

Technology@lemmy.world•Bombshell lawsuit alleges that RAM manufacturers are colluding to drive up prices. Three companies that account for 90% of RAM revenue are being sued for anti-competitive practices. Samsung, SK Hynix…English
26·2 months agoThe lawsuit is the bombshell I guess?
Also it wasn’t obvious to me that RAM manufacturers were artificially inflating prices. It’s plausible to me that the stupid AI bubble is actually consuming that much of the supply.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Florida bans local governments from pursuing net-zero emissions goalsEnglish
44·2 months agoI didn’t think they’d be that dumb and leave a loophole for net-negative policies, but holy shit:
“Net zero policy” means any policy, program, or initiative designed to achieve a balance between total amount of greenhouse gas emitted into the atmosphere with an equal amount removed from the atmosphere.
It literally is net-zero. Removing more CO2 than you emit is absolutely allowed.

Wait, don’t sofiles already embed version information? And can’t symbols be versioned within a library? I’m only vaguely familiar with that stuff though.
