Technology@lemmy.world•Bitcoin slips below $71,000 as Trump orders U.S. to join Iran in blockade of Strait of HormuzEnglish
0·1 month agoThe madman theory is a political theory commonly associated with the foreign policy of U.S. president Richard Nixon and his administration, who tried to make the leaders of hostile communist bloc countries think Nixon was irrational and volatile so that they would avoid provoking the U.S. in fear of an unpredictable response.
As I said, it always fucks me up. The AM/PM indicator wraps at a different hour than the hours. Aaargh!
As someone who grew up with a 24-hour clock, I can deal with 12 hours. Usually there’s no confusion if your store opens at 7am or 7pm. But 12:30PM being a valid time and meaning ‘00:30 on the next day’ fucks me up every time.
I don’t know who is password, or why is password, or when is password, but I do know where is password, and it’s out there!

Technology@lemmy.world•LinkedIn Is Illegally Searching Your ComputerEnglish
0·1 month agoFirst comment from the link:
Every time you open LinkedIn in a Chrome-based browser, LinkedIn’s JavaScript executes a silent scan of your installed browser extensions. The scan probes for thousands of specific extensions by ID, collects the results, encrypts them, and transmits them to LinkedIn’s servers.
That is very different from “searches their computer for installed software”

Technology@lemmy.world•The Internet, Reinvented. Introduction to Reticulum.English
1·2 months agoThe gist: The internet has become incredibly centralized. Reticulum is a protocol (and supporting hardware and software) that aims at using any physical means of communicating (e.g. wifi, or any other wireless connection) data to build a communication network. Anonymous and encrypted by default.

0·3 months agoApologies mean “I made a mistake and I learned from it so it won’t repeat.”
I beg to differ. An apology means that you feel bad about harm inflicted upon others. To prove the point: You apologize when you’re late due to circumstances that are outside of your control. Or when you accidentally bump into someone on the bus when the driver slams the break.

For others like me who have no clue what this meme is about:
In 2016, a 3-year old got into the Gorilla enclosure, where he was grabbed and dragged around by a gorilla, Harambe, which was then shot.

Programmer Humor@programming.dev•muskrat's data eng expert's hard drive overheats while processing 60k rowsEnglish
1·1 year agoEven if querying data was processing-heavy and even if somehow the ‘hard drive’ got warm during this, then there still would need to be a hardware defect in order for the drive to overheat.
Because it’s the most efficient. With students handing in AI theses, it’s only sensible to have teachers use AI to grade them. No we only need to have teachers use AI to create exam questions and education becomes a fully automated process. Then everyone can go home early.
