No their ads told me they’re the heroic guardians of my privacy.

Banning driving on the phone while allowing iPads to be put im dashboards shows how fucking stupid our legislators really are.

As a side note: blows my mind there are people over the age of 9 that persist in actually believing in tarot cards or astrology.

I wish this was satire but it’s just weirdly fetishistic propaganda. It’s not even subtle; it’s pathetic.

Oh dear lord. What did they say in support of their “Mozilla is shady” argument?

But then how do you justify keeping “middle management” hall monitors on a payroll after admitting they’re pointless?

Considering courts have been using Zoom since COVID…I am dying to see what happens. Will Zoom clarify that it doesn’t collect/utilize meeting recordings to train AI? Is it going to exactly that and force anyone conducting sensitive business to find a new platform?

This feels like a remarkably bad move, both for privacy and for Xoom’s own business concerns, unless I’m missing something.

What do we have here?

Greetings, fellow carbon-based life forms. I’ve gon ahead and created Rimjob Steve: a place for wholesome posts/comments by those with inappropriate/rude usernames! If you’re familiar with the original subreddit, you get the idea. If not, I have posted an example in the new Lemmy community!

Why did I make this?

I really enjoyed the subreddit!

Who is Pensivepangolin?

I’m literally just some person.

Right now I’m the only mod, and I’m not affiliated with the subreddit in anyway, other than as someone that enjoyed it when they still used Reddit. I’m more than willing to bring people on to moderate it if the community gets an real volume of users! I’m also more than happy to answer any questions! Also if any mod of that sub ever winds up seeing this and wants to contact me, please feel free to hit me up on here. I’m going to be setting up a mastodon account shortly, and I’ll edit the post to include it when that’s done!

I think it’s the same reason the CEO’s of these corporations are clamoring about their own products being doomsday devices: it gives them massive power over crafting regulatory policy, thus letting them make sure it’s favorable to their business interests.

Even more frustrating when you realize, and feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, these new “AI” programs and LLMs aren’t really novel in terms of theoretical approach: the real revolution is the amount of computing power and data to throw at them.

“Intelligent adult” + funko pop collection….who’s gonna tell him?

Granted I need to figure out how to browse communities….but if there isn’t a Lemmy version of /r/rimjob_steve we definitely need to make one. That never got old for me.

Edit: I went ahead and created the community! Find it here!
