Technology@lemmy.world•Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification SupportEnglish
111·8 days agoI think these laws will be similar to prohibition. They will try for a while, but then realize they can’t succeed. Governments can’t even handle cyber security, how will they handle this?

News@lemmy.world•Beatriz Martínez, psychiatrist: ‘In a few years, letting children be glued to screens will be seen in the same light as dipping their pacifier in alcohol’English
4·1 month agoTrue that, also the type of screen and what their doing on it matters. For example a kid reading on a kindle or a kobo ia fine in my opinion. Reading Wikipedia or news in an ipad is fine. Scrolling through titktok is not.
Just block dump sites like tiktok and facebook and it will be fine. As long as you monitor the usage it is fine. The problem is parents don’t know how to do it.

Technology@lemmy.world•'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternativesEnglish
76·2 months agoMany of the communities I am in are pissed and these aren’t even tech people, this is even worse than what reddit did.The thing that most people online hate is age verification, who thought this was a good idea, reminds me of when Tumblr decided to ban porn same level of stupidity.

Technology@lemmy.world•CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a PeasantEnglish
2·2 months agoI agree the title is demeaning to vocational jobs, some of these even pay more than desk jobs. These jobs are the pillar of modern society. But I highly doubt Karp is right, he is delusional.
This is a much better title: https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/palantir-ceo-alex-karp-says-ai-will-reward-people-who-fix-thingsnot-desk-jobs-1773397

Technology@lemmy.world•CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a PeasantEnglish
31·2 months agoI believe in this instance it is an embellishment, this is what he said: Karp: “You went to an elite school, and you studied philosophy; hopefully you have some other skill,” he warned, adding that AI “will destroy humanities jobs.”
but then again this is the guy that want to throw urine on his enemies.
Karp: “I love the idea of getting a drone and having light fentanyl-laced urine spraying on analysts that tried to screw us”

Technology@lemmy.world•The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymoreEnglish
18·2 months agoHonestly most people just upgrade the GPU and ssd, after 10-15 years they buy a new desktop. Also one of the biggest reasons to get a desktop is that it is cheaper than laptops, last longer, and you can change any part that breaks. I had many laptops with one component basically making the entire device useless, if it was a desktop it could easily be fixed, for example soldered RAM.

Someone already done a paper on it:

Abstract A probabilistic model is introduced for the problem of stimulating a large male audience. Double jerking is considered, in which two shafts may be stimulated with a single hand. Both tip-to-tip and shaft-to-shaft configurations of audience members are analyzed. We demonstrate that pre-sorting members of the audience according to both shaft girth and leg length allows for more efficient stimulation. Simulations establish steady rates of stimulation even as the variance of certain parameters is allowed to grow, whereas naive unsorted schemes have increasingly flaccid perfor- mance.
