I swear to God, Cramer’s role is to get the masses to make the absolute worst financial decisions when we are on the brink of financial collapse.

213·4 days agoNo, I focus on that because it’s real. It sounds like you don’t get out much, just judging by how you talk to people. So let me lay it out for you. People are resistant to change and you have to convince them. You aren’t good at that, which is why you’re so mad. I’m trying to get information to help convince people I know and love, which is why I’m asking for more information from the person who seems to know a lot. However you also seem to be bad at providing resources to back your claims up.

244·4 days agoSignal is the only way I’ve been able to get my friends and family onto an E2E messaging app. Before this, they were all using SMS and WhatsApp. Signal is how we survived ICE in Minneapolis and organized to stop a bunch of jackbooted fascists from kidnapping all of our neighbors and deporting them to unknown countries. I have a lot of respect for the folks at Signal as a result.
I get that you all are on better platforms or whatever, but I don’t appreciate the dismissive shit that I’m seeing in these replies. Especially when it’s about one of the first privacy-oriented apps that normies get started with. You have some information about Signal that shows it’s shitty or a honeypot? Great, then post it. I’d genuinely love to see it (and not in a “post it so I can argue with you like an annoying redditor” kinda way). But this shit about high salaries at a non profit is not convincing to me and none of your replies here are doing your cause any service.
Stay on Windows then, you corporate fuckboy! Enjoy XBox cloud gaming and never owning anything again.
Yep! Linus is basically rendering his own channel obsolete by doing this shit.

403·4 days agoI’m really trying hard to see the point that’s being made. Is it just the “high” salaries, or is there some other implication? The OP seems to be insinuating that Signal is a honeypot or something. I am going to need a lot more proof than, “hey, these guys work at a non-profit and they aren’t underpaid!” Given that most tech jobs offer stock options in addition to normal salary, it would make sense that base salary should be higher at a non-profit (where stock options don’t exist). Their salary structure also seems much flatter than other non-profits that I saw within the propublica link.
What am I missing here?

World News•Iranian warship hit by US torpedo did not carry ammunition, say Indian sourcesEnglish
11·8 days agoNot that it excuses the horrific warcrime or absolves the US at all, but how did Iran not realize this possibility after the US has repeatedly bombed civilian boats in the gulf of Mexico?
Truly abhorent and cowardly. I hope Iran responds ruthlessly.

3·8 days agoI think I’ve seen estimates that it would cost $40 billion on the highend to provide housing for houseless people for one year. So, 40 days of spending in this war is equivalent to that. We’re vaporizing children on the other side of the globe rather than improving our shithole country.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OSEnglish
2·9 days agoTo be fair to Cash for Clunkers, the intent was to get people on better gas efficiency cars, not to downgrade people to worse cars.
I was a supporter of the program at the time and agreed with that intent. However, In retrospect it was more of a handout to the auto industry. And whether intended or not, it hurt the used car market and got people to abandon very reliable (and more importantly, easily self repairable) cars that were built in the 90s.
2008 was right around the time when automakers started adding more tech to cars. So that’s where my suspicions about surveilance comes in. In fact, an infamous vulnerability, which can be used to uniquely identify vehicles, was introduced into most US vehicles made after 2008.

Technology@lemmy.world•Windows 12 Reportedly Set for Release This Year as a Fully Modular, Subscription-Based, AI-Focused OSEnglish
103·9 days agoSo this is my understanding:
- Microsoft is moving to a subscription model OS
- new tpm requirement
- hardware is sold out and/or 3x more expensive because of Sam Altman
- Microsoft is leaning into thin clients
I see people celebrating this “stupid decision” by Microsoft and saying that it’s the year of the Linux desktop. Honestly, I’d love that outcome.
But what if Microsoft is willing to destroy Windows right before the AI bubble pops, shift the entire industry away from consumer parts, get people to throw all their old devices in a landfill, and then recoup their losses when Trump inevitably bails out the industry?
I always think about how Obama’s Cash for Clunkers got people to trade in their old, reliable cars for arguably shittier new cars with built-in Surveillance capabilities and planned obsolescence. It ended up ruining the used car market too. I wonder if we will see something like that for AI. “Trade in your pc for a free year of windows 12 and a new pc (thin client) to run it”

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•Entry level PCs costing less than $500 ‘will disappear by 2028’, research firm predictsEnglish
73·11 days agoYeah, I think one of the reasons the AI bubble hasn’t popped yet is because it’s being weaponized to remove consumer hardware from the market entirely. These companies want as much processing done on the cloud as possible so that they can control, monitor and mine data from every user.


Love the idea that NASA is lying to us about the flat earth and also revealing their lie by launching rockets full of people at their fake ceiling
