I understand that, but it doesn’t mean I need to respect or approve of anybody who does film people in public. Sitting next to a stranger on an otherwise empty bus isn’t illegal either, but that doesn’t mean the person isn’t still a creep for doing it. And I am considering being the subject of a film as different from happening to pass by a camera frame, or being seen by a security camera.
Personally, i only approve if you’re filming a crime (counting harassment here). If someone’s going about their day, even if they’re making a scene or wearing something crazy or what have you, I don’t really think filming them without their knowledge is cool, especially if you’re going to post it on the internet.
It’s crazy how little experts like these think of humanity, or just underestimate our tollerance and adaptability to weird shit. People used to talk about how “if we ever learned UFOs were a real phenomena, there would be global mayhem!” because people’s world views would collapse and they’d riot, or whatever. After getting a few articles the past few years since that first NY Times article, I’ve basically not heard anyone really caring (who didn’t already seem to be into them before, anyway). Hell, we had a legitimate attempt to overthrow our own government, and the large majority of our population just kept on with their lives.
The same AI experts 10 years ago would have thought the AI we have right now would have caused societal collapse.
Sounds like they’re not prioritizing the shareholders interests! Last I heard, that’s a fireable offense!
Literally the only times I’ve heard anybody say anything about it was basically when they first learn about it and giggle for a few minutes, then get on with their lives.
I think the only way the name could be any sort of issue was if they were explicitly trying to be “family friendly,” which would imply that it’s intended for either christian mothers or advertisers (we all know how the children feel about sex jokes), which, since this is Lemmy and we’re talking about FOSS software, I’m sure I don’t have to explain why that’s a stupid idea.
Not an EU citizen but is there any way for you guys to jist like, kick them out? I only ever hear about people wondering why they were let in to begin with
EDIT: damn I’m learning a lot about euro politics from these replies. Thanks guys!
I’ve only ever grepped log files. 9 years into my career now so not sure which side of the spectrum I’m on (i’m definitely on the spectrum)
The beatings will continue until morale improves
Ah shit. Any easy way to determine if your camera’s doing that? Would that normally be in manufacterer specs?
In my own workplace, it’s sometimes resulted in massive rabbithole searches along the lines of “this doesn’t seem right. Why would this even be designed this way if it wasn’t intentional?” Which then becomes asking even more senior devs who had been there for decades to scour decades old emails and/or hitting up another decades senior dev who’s now on another project on the other side of the country to check their emails until we eventually figure out why it was, in fact, intentional.

I was going to make an annoying comment about how I’m a younger millenial (almosy gen-z) and immediately remembered how to do it, but then I realize it probably got imprinted in my brain a lot more strongly because I was younger when I got exposed to it.
Chinese authorities actively organizing demonstrative visits, primarily for diplomats and journalists from Muslim countries.
Interesting. I wonder if this is a strategic move to capitalize on Gaza and grab some muslim nation friends in the middle east.
The internet is dead, or at least heavily necrotic, by this point. Aside from previously trusted sources that haven’t succumbed to the AI-generation hellscape, and even those trusted things are now so ad heavy that it feels like my back would break without my ad blocker on.
Lemmy and the fediverse I feel are better suited to absorb the negative effects of all that than any of the current monoliths.
Yeah it’s a rare day that I side with Elon Musk but this just happens to be one of those days. Australia shouldn’t get to dictate what doesn’t get shown to people outside of their authority.
I just want to point out that DailyMotion and Vimeo still (somehow) exist.
I haven’t really looked into them because they obviously my subscriptions wouldn’t be there which is pretty much all I use youtube for, but they are technically competitors that do technically exist.
Add on the PokeTube skin from userstyles.org and you can pretend you live in a world that’s free and balanced where children can kick the asses of wannabe capitalistic overlords instead of the corporate hellscape we currently find ourselves in.
Even though the eventually admitted their mistake with the whole “ManBearPig is real” episode, the damage had been done years prior. I haven’t watched many recent South Park episodes, but I hope they learned their lesson to maybe not ignore actual scientists next time.
Of course there aren’t any reviews (not that I’d automatically believe them, anyway). While it sounds super exciting, I’m not super willing to spend almost 300USD for unverified tech. Somebody should send link this to Gamer’s Nexus to review lol
