I think the same thing happened with cars too. Certain generation knows how to fix stuff, but they’re completely lost with modern cars where you can’t do anything without a computer plugged in.

I switched to Lemmy around the time when the discussion around the APIcalypse was intensifying. After the blackout, I still visited about once a week, but within a month or two my Reddit usage had gone down to zero. Can’t say I really miss that place. Pretty soon, it’s going to be a year after the 3rd party apps died, and I won’t even notice. I’ve moved on already.

Maybe the KDE devs were expecting you to do file management using the keyboard only. Or maybe they thought that linux users aren’t technical enough that they would ever consider organizing their files. Just dumb it all on the desktop and call it a day, amarite?

  • So, it's maximum security, is that clear?
  • Quite clear, sir. Only myself and the rest of the English-speaking world is to know.

The exact opposite is true in many cases. Many shops want to subscribe to me, but so far, only two shops have earned that privilege. They give me discounts, and I carry two extra cards with me.

I've only used Amazon to buy obscure raspberry pi stuff that isn't available within a 3000 km radius. Also, roomba spare parts are fine too. If I want something else, I'll just walk to the nearest store and buy it there. I've always wondered why do people want to buy stuff from Amazon or even pay extra to get the prime stuff.

Has anyone made a program for poisoning code? Sort of like the way nightshade is for pictures.

An AI like that might have some spicy exploits.

If you convince a human to give you the password, that’s called social engineering. If you convince an AI send you free stuff, what kind of engineering is that?

Oh absolutely. There definitely are valid use cases for printers just like there are valid ways to use an ice pick. If you need to use huge blocks of ice for something, you really want to own your very own ice pick. Other people might not need one as much as you do.

That’s just the cost of doing business for Amazon. Why should they change their tactics if the fees are that low.

  • Is anybody there?

  • No.

  • Ok, that’s good. For a moment I thought there could be a could be a stabby knife murderer hiding in the closet.

  • Nope, there’s no one here.

You can guess how the story ends…
