    On that note: Guess which is the largest of the four Norways in the U.S. mentioned above? Unlike mastodon it seems like lemmy doesn’t support multiple choice questions, at least I don’t know how.

    spoiler

    Norway, Iowa: 466 people

    Norway, Indiana: 327 people

    Norway, Kansas: 17 people

    Norway, Nebraska: 0 people?

    Wikipedia lists 7 more














  • We can argue as much as we want about whether moore’s law covers technological development in general or be pedantic like good old fundamental Christians and only read what the words say.

    The bigger problem is that we have reached the era of what we could tentatively call “wal s’eroom”. Thanks to enshittification (another one of those slippery words!) I predict that technological progress reverses from now on by 50% every 2 years.



  • Much has been said about this already, but I’m really annoyed how they repeatedly try to twist this into a technical question like:

    “This is better for privacy than how it used to be. Here are 20 reasons why, and we have good scientists who say it offers good privacy. Do you have any technical arguments against these privacy claims? We welcome a discussion about possible flaws in the reasoning of the scientists/engineers in terms of assuring privacy.”

    To me, that is a secondary question. More important:

    • Don’t introduce tracking features against my will, with only an opt-out (ironically, while explaining in the same post why opt-outs suck)
    • Give room to a discussion about tracking-based advertisements, whether we want to have that in the internet (IMHO no) and support it in firefox of all browsers (IMHO no)
    • If they go this way, who is supposed to continue using their shit browser after this? The only reason left is that it’s “the reliable other/good browser”. People who don’t care about these questions are using Chrome anyway.

    This is such a self-destructive move, it’s painful to watch.
