  • Oracle Java police start knocking on Fortune 200's doors for first time

    Jump

  • Why would anyone recommend their company to use Oracle stuff these days? Oracle should give kickbacks to people that recommend to use Oracle Database, Java, or VirtualBox in their company so they'll keep at it /s

  • Tesla chair says Elon Musk needs $46 billion pay plan to stay motivated

    Jump

  • Tesla Board Chairperson Robyn Denholm urged shareholders to re-approve CEO Elon Musk's $46 billion pay package this week, saying the vote is "not about the money" while suggesting that Musk could leave Tesla or devote less time to the company if he isn't properly compensated.

    Don't threaten me with a good time!

  • United Airlines passengers to see targeted ads on seat-back screens

    Jump

  • Numbers must go up at all costs. By the time the company's reputation hit rock bottom, the CEO already jumped ship to the next company.

    Jump

  • If you're getting targeted ads for penis enlargement pills, then the system thinks you have a small pp. If this is an error, you should submit photographic evidence to their office to prove you don't have a small pp.

  • I assume they won't allow porns in ads, but you can still get worse stuff than porn, like erectile dysfunction medication ads which causes people around your seat to look at you with sorry eyes.

  • Developer posts secret key on GitHub, loses $40K in 2 minutes

    Jump

  • The whole point of crypto is to be immutable, so that money is simply lost to him now.

    IIRC there are several cases where some group of people lost big enough coins and force most of the miners to fork to get their money back. Not bitcoin though.

  • They notify but iirc only if you push a commit to a public repo. The dev in the article pushed it to a private repo, then later made the repo public.

  • Stupid question but is it possible to get a virus from an MKV file.

  • Thank you for the correction!

  • Every once in a while security researchers would discover sophisticated exploits that would allow malwares to take over your computer via multimedia files, but those are actually rarely exploited in the wild by run off the mill malwares.

    Unless you're an important person being targeted by hackers and three letter agencies, your biggest source of threat is running infected programs from untrusted sources, e.g. cracks downloaded from random torrents or warez sites, shady sites serving ads that trick you to run some executables, etc.

    YSK: lemmy.ml is managed by tankies, and lead lemmy developer is a tankie

    Jump

  • Lemmy has a lot more contributors and eyes digging into its codebase now compared to 2021 so I think this is very unlikely to happen.

    Jump

  • I may not agree with the devs political view, but I think their work developing lemmy is excellent and made me subscribe to monthly donation on opencollective. Lemmy is an open source project where the devs have absolutely no say over how the software being used, as evidenced by so many lemmy instances defederating from lemmygrad and lemmy.ml. Their political belief won't affect other instance.

  • They probably mean the .ml part.

  • AI layoffs

    Jump

  • If we fire all developers and allow AIs to program themselves, the AIs are going to commit virtual seppuku after a few days.

    Butts, breasts, and genitals now explicitly allowed on Elon Musk’s X

  • Eradication? If anything, streaming services turn the sex dial to 11 for a while now. It's as if they won't greenlight a new show unless it has a certain amount of sex and nudity scenes.

  • Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again

    Jump

  • Then why does tidal for the same price as spotify with way less users pay four times as much to the artists than spotify?

    I wonder why too. Spotify takes a 30% cut, but even if Tidal takes 0% cuts, how come it can pays 4x as much to artists? There must be more to the math to make it check out.

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

  • I'm more concerned with Mozilla spending its meager resources to chase some fads instead of focusing on improving firefox.

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

    Jump

  • Google does that a lot with their own web properties. I remember Google Meet didn't support background replacement on Firefox, but switching Firefox's user agent to Chrome suddenly fixed it.

    Jump

  • It seems Mozilla is not immune to the AI hype. I just hope their AI endeavour won't kill them when the AI hype finally ends.

  • Oh tell me again how it loads faster and takes up less resources

    Jump

  • It used to be a lot slower, which is why when Chrome showed up with its shiny new V8 engine (and other features) people switched from Firefox en masse. Now the performance difference is no longer noticeable.
