  • It really highlights just how centralized so much of the internet is on like three companies (Amazon, Microsoft, and Google)

  • It's got some code duplication. Who can code gulf golf this?

  • Is this a copypasta or AI generated? It's several orders of magnitude better written than basically every Lemmy comment I've ever seen.

  • Computer Update

  • The comic is from 2011. The upgrade to OS X Lion, released that year, was paid originally and then made available for free.

  • Pluralistic: Apple threatens to stop selling iPhones in the EU (26 Sep 2025) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

    Jump

  • The EU doesn't need to be a technology-taker – it can be a technology maker. The Apple/Google duopoly may have sewn up the mobile market with illegal monopoly tactics, but that doesn't mean that the EU will never spawn another Nokia or Ericsson. The shortest, most efficient, most reliable path to reestablishing technological sovereignty for the EU's half-billion residents and 27 member-states is to allow domestic firms to take over the relationship between the Trump-controlled American tech giants and the Europeans who rely on their technology.

    We don't typically have our highways owned and operated by for-profit megacorporations. It should be the same with operating systems. It's the base layer on which all the applications rely. That's too much control placed in private hands.

  • Rustdesk Server Pro allegedly violates AGPL license by not distributing source

    Jump

  • Are there other discussions about this on the net? I glanced at r/rust and HN and didn't see anything. For such a blatant violation, I'd expect to see lots of drama and shaming going on.

  • The most powerful force in the world is the one that makes you delete a draft comment hours into writing it because you know with certainly your comment will contain at least one mistake and you'll receive replies from the many people much smarter than you eagerly, dutifully correcting you and never recover from the embarrassment of your comment being revealed as an archetypal instance of the Dunning–Kruger effect and you an imposter.

    Jump

  • I become suspicious when I see a Medium user posting well-written deep articles as frequently as this user appears to be doing. How can we tell whether this is AI slop or not?

  • Neon, the No. 2 social app on the Apple App Store, pays users to record their phone calls and sells data to AI firms

  • In America, you pay for app. In Soviet Russia, app pays for you!

  • Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension

    Jump

  • I'm similarly skeptical it's a genuine outage given how so much stuff nowadays is done with cloud computing which enables dynamic on-demand procurement of server resources. Or whatever the correct terminology is to describe that.

  • Schools could have used that time they were "teaching" the Office suite to give an introduction to unix, programming, and the basics of how the internet functions. I had to read and analyze Beowulf, Shakespeare, Chaucer, and Homer and memorize the names and formulas of 33 polyatomic ions. Computing education to the same depth should have been and should be required as it was required for the other subjects.

  • I don't normally seed big media properties lest my ISP send letters telling me to stop. With all of the talk about South Park, I couldn't resist. I'm about to find out how diligent the copyright holders are. YOLO.
