DaemonFCFacebook issued an apology on behalf of its artificial intelligence software that asked users watching a video featuring Black men if they wanted to see more "videos about primates." [...] However, in 2015, Google's image recognition software classified photos of Black people as "gorillas." Google apologized and removed the labels of gorilla, chimp, chimpanzee and monkey -- words that remained censored over two years later, Wired reported.Sep 06 03:21

techrights-newsThe good news? #freesw is winning (growing usage, more companies/govs/people defend on it). The bad news? Corporations are working busily and overtime to dilute or water down its freedom. Optimists' stance: we just need to persevere and fight back. Pessimists: it's too later. #github killed freedom. #microsoftSep 06 09:29
techrights-newsIn parallel to the fight for #freesw or #softwareFreedom we should also combat the #wwww oligarchies/oligopolies, either by working to replace parts of the WWW or decentralising the network; power consolidation is achieved not only by #ProprietarySoftware (today's WWW is #openwashing and DRM with patents on top)Sep 06 09:32
techrights-newsMany people and companies wrongly assume that "code available on Github" is "open source" or #freesw -- perhaps conveniently ignoring the simple fact that #github itself is #proprietarySoftware and it's controlled by the NSA and #microsoft -- which STILL actively fights against developers to herd them into proprietary traps!!

-TechrightsBot-tr/#techrights-www.thescottishsun.co.uk | Police Scotland's bizarre survey on Gaelic language push asks the public their sexuality or if they have hay feverSep 06 18:06
DaemonFCThe US Census for 2020 didn't ask whether you were gay or bisexual or anything. It asked if you were married and whether your spouse was male or female.Sep 06 18:06
DaemonFCSo the only thing that they would be able to gather is what percentage of marriages or to people of the same gender.Sep 06 18:07
DaemonFCLike they had to ask for legal reasons because same-sex marriage is a legal option, but they really really don't want good statistics on what percentage of the public is gay.Sep 06 18:08
DaemonFCSo now another 10 years will go by where the federal government and conservatives and lawmakers can say it's a small band of perverts,Sep 06 18:08
DaemonFCIt's a different sort of person who gets married vs who doesn't, even now, regardless. It used to be that if someone wasn't married in their 30s it was "suspicious".Sep 06 18:09

DaemonFCThey're as responsible for ruining the alleged social contract as anyone.Sep 06 18:10
DaemonFCOnce you start thinking "Having kids isn't good for me, so you guys have fun with that!" you start eschewing other "responsibilities and duties", and then they panic that few people get married.Sep 06 18:11
DaemonFCPanicking and offering straight up cash bribes isn't going to solve anything.Sep 06 18:12

MinceR"they're not like me therefore they must die"Sep 06 18:12
DaemonFCIt's not just LGBT that Christians are panicking about after foisting individualist propaganda on the public from the 1980s onward.Sep 06 18:14
DaemonFCIt's people who don't marry, don't have kids, and single parents.Sep 06 18:14
DaemonFCWhich are the result of the propaganda just as much as the fact that being gay and out of the closet is.Sep 06 18:14

DaemonFCAnd mom was like "They should just get two jobs." I said, "From where?

DaemonFC"That's about $60 a week after tax.".Sep 06 18:18
DaemonFCI mean, the only reason to sign up for a lot of these entry level openings, and 9 hours a week counts as an opening in the "jobs report", is so you can go down and apply for medical and food stamps.Sep 06 18:21
DaemonFCShe noted that some of the factories paid over $20 an hour and even gave up on drug testing people and can't find help.Sep 06 18:22
DaemonFCInstead of exploring all of the possible reasons, she concluded that nobody wanted to work there.Sep 06 18:23

psydruidmy uncle returned 2 Lenovo laptops because we couldn't get any Linux distribution running on themSep 06 19:41
psydruidso I've definitely experienced it tooSep 06 19:42
DaemonFC"Let me make my position clear, that Lenovo is lying through their teeth just like they did with Superfish malware incident. They lied until they couldn't lie anymore. Linux should not have to support the RAID mode because the mode should be able to be changed to AHCI, which is fully compatible with Linux, by the user in about 20 seconds."Sep 06 19:43
DaemonFCAnd that's exactly how the BIOS update to the Windows model of the laptop I'm on now supports Linux.Sep 06 19:44
DaemonFCThe Windows model shipped with no Linux support and they bumped the BIOS a month later to allow "Ubuntu compatibility".Sep 06 19:44
DaemonFCIt's in the release notes, though I doubt you can find them now because they release BIOS updates so often.Sep 06 19:44
DaemonFCThey can't reliably pick a lane as to how bright each brightness setting should be or how your function keys should work (one update reversed what happens when you hold Fn down), or how bright your keyboard backlight should be, and they claim that they fixed at least two dozen CVEs along the way.Sep 06 19:45

DaemonFCHe's like "That's not how you build credit though. They don't care if you have a credit on your phone account.".Sep 06 20:15
DaemonFCI said, "Actually, Discover does like when you run large transactions through your cards. Most people who get approved for higher limits were using what the company already gave them at least occasionally. They turn down people who don't.

DaemonFCI figured out how to get it to tell me the raw numbers and for both 4G LTE and 5G signals. It connects to both, apparently.Sep 06 20:30
DaemonFCI found I get the best throughput by making sure the "secondary" signal, which is 5G, is the stronger of the two, so I placed the modem where it doesn't even have the option to connect to 4G, but the 5G signal is quite good.Sep 06 20:30

DaemonFCI'm currently BitTorrenting at 6 MB/second up from like 1 when the 4G signal was coming through as well.Sep 06 20:31
DaemonFCSo it has some sort of dual antenna system in there and prefers the 4G signal if it's coming in stronger, even though it has less bandwidth.Sep 06 20:32

DaemonFCIf it was a mistake and you won't do it again and you just need a little help, nobody cares. Go away.Sep 06 21:34
DaemonFCHaving kids is a liability with no welfare programs, because the kids won't earn any money but somewhere along the next 18 years, you need to find hundreds of thousands of dollars that may be impossible to earn.Sep 06 21:35
DaemonFCMy mom didn't even want to hear about OnlyFans and how those single moms were saying they were selling lewd pictures of themselves as a side hustle because it was either impossible to earn enough through work, or to find a second or third job.Sep 06 21:36

DaemonFCWell, what this will all lead to eventually is a glut of porn.Sep 06 21:43
DaemonFCWhere it will pay less and less because it becomes diluted with so many people trying it in order to get some extra cash.Sep 06 21:44
DaemonFCschestowitz, It's not just the UK where landlords were demanding sex from female tenants for rent. Chicago was investigating hundreds of such complaints, and that was just months into the pandemic.Sep 06 21:44

DaemonFCMatrix is a lot easier to cancel someone on than IRC is.Sep 06 22:06
schestowitz-TRI needed to just make a backup, belatedlySep 06 22:06
DaemonFCEspecially now that more people use VPNs, which are a giant NAT.Sep 06 22:06
schestowitz-TRyou became baronhk thereSep 06 22:07
XRevan86And then that trash is propagated through the federation to other servers and fill up storage.Sep 06 22:07
schestowitz-TRsounds like fediverseSep 06 22:07
DaemonFCI'm very happy that people are using some kind of VPN, even if it's Nord or Mozilla, because it is difficult to figure out the implications of permanently banning an IP address.Sep 06 22:07
schestowitz-TRit's one reason I left fediverseSep 06 22:07
schestowitz-TRafter 3 accounts were lostSep 06 22:07

DaemonFCYou may take out 100 or more other people on your network, and then there's no point.Sep 06 22:07

XRevan86schestowitz: It's nowhere near as bad in there.Sep 06 22:07

schestowitz-TRwell, that and dial-up modemsSep 06 22:09
schestowitz-TRmany things changedSep 06 22:09
DaemonFCISPs would give them an IP address they were stuck with for months or more, and you took out one IP and banned it for 6 months, you solved the problem.Sep 06 22:09

DaemonFCThere was channel bonding software, and it turned out to be cheaper to use that and pay for a second POTS line than it was to use ISDN.Sep 06 22:10
DaemonFCISDN got you two digital lines that were 64kbps each, but the B channel cost money the more you used it while the A channel was unlimited.Sep 06 22:11
