Or, hear me out, they were born in a place without their consent, raised in that place as a minor without their consent, and now are not financially or physically capable of leaving that place on their own.

Not @RemindMe@programming.dev , but here's your one-year reminder.

Okay, let's be generous and give you the benefit of the doubt. What would you consider to be an unbiased, credible source of factual information? Be specific. You're the one putting out the blame, before you say anything along the lines of "it's not my job to educate you" or "do your own research". You're the one making the claim of bias.

Sounds like we didn't use enough then, if you're still here.

Yeah, instead we should put troops on the ground and invade the West Bank with our own soldiers and start bombing kindergartens directly! Hooyah, second Trump Presidency here we go! /s

Then in that case I hope you enjoy the last few tastes of freedom before Gilead arises. No hard feelings when I'm given the order by Führer Trump to round you and your family into the camps? I'll just be following orders, after all. Work will set you free eventually! Oh and don't mind the ash, that's just the Palestinians and Muslims.

That's why we should follow the example of the French and do a Revolution every now and then!

The name is a holdover from the alien site. The culture changed but the name never changed once it got to Lemmy, and it's not actually about "white" Twitter anymore, just Twitter in general. That's how it's been explained in other posts, I'm not exactly a frequent flier in these parts.

It worked when we dropped the sun on Japan, twice. Turned them from a fanatical warrior death cult into salarymen and pacifists in a hurry.

Security company ADT disclosed in an SEC filing that hackers obtained “some limited customer information, including email addresses, phone numbers and postal addresses.” TechCrunch reports that ADT’s disclosure follows a seller on a cybercrime forum claiming last week that they had obtained more than 30,000 stolen ADT customer records.

A direct quote from the finance minister of Israel today: "Nobody will let us cause 2 million civilians to die of hunger, even though it might be justified and moral, until our hostages are returned."

 

Google researchers have come out with a new paper that warns that generative AI is ruining vast swaths of the internet with fake content — which is painfully ironic because Google has been hard at work pushing the same technology to its enormous user base.

Back in the 90s, Jeff Bezos went on record as hoping his employees would wake up on the wrong side of the bed—for the greater good, or for the customer at the very least.

It’s almost laughable that these two stories happened so close to one another. The Australian government has just announced a pilot program to test an online age verification system

And then, just hours later, it was reported that law enforcement is investigating an apparent breach of club and bar patrons’ personal data, which the venues are required to collect by law for people entering such establishments.

When we talk about the privacy and data risks of age verification, this is exactly the kind of thing we’re talking about. When you’re collecting that much sensitive private data, you become a target.

When Spotify announced its largest-ever round of layoffs in December, CEO Daniel Ek hailed a new age of efficiency at the streaming giant. But four months on, it seems he and his executives weren’t prepared for how tough filling in for 1,500 axed workers would be.

The music streamer enjoyed record quarterly profits of €168 million ($179 million) in the first three months of 2024, enjoying double-digit revenue growth to €3.6 billion ($3.8 billion) in the process.

However, the company failed to hit its guidance on profitability and monthly active user growth.
