Technology@lemmy.world•Apple has REMOVED the ICEBlock app from the App Store due to “objectionable content.”English
73·1 month agoDude give one example so we can google and have our own opinion. You are just saying “because they said so/because someone considered it so”.
Free software doesn’t count :p
I block people if they needlesly use a brand name isntead of saying the group name. Do I probably have some false positives? Probably.

Technology@lemmy.world•Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegalEnglish
2·3 months agoAs long as they can reduce the adblock usage, it is a win for them. 100% success is not the goal. Right now there is nothing stopping everyone from using some sort of adblocker (0% revenue is possible actually), which must be scary.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•If there's a sort of "apocalyptic" event but there are still surviving communities, will people be able to make eyeglasses again, or are people with vision issues gonna be fucked?
8·3 months agoDo we have surviving scientists and engineers, or books? Then everything is easy-ish: Progress took time because we didn’t know anything, everything was trial and error. Now we know the correct forms of physical laws or their usable approximations so rebuilding is just a matter of time (generations maybe).
If somehow the collective wisdom is lost, back to the stone ages with you.
edit: High school education brings you to the 1920s tech (era of elements and alloys, just before composites) so maybe if we have any surviving adults, you can have glasses?

Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Rice prices plunge to 8-year low after record harvestsEnglish
7·3 months agoRice: Thrives even though humans are fucking the climate, the soil and the water it needs to grow.
Human: my money :(((
Rejoice motherfucker, we are still not at the point of no return.

41·3 months agoHow can you know a game is LGBTQ+ if they don’t talk about sex/gender? They look like normal humans to me, which differ in sexual preferences only? Example: How can you say this guy is gay without knowing his sexual preferences?

Technology@lemmy.world•Surprising no one, new research says AI Overviews cause massive drop in search clicksEnglish
4·4 months agoWhat if content amount is the problem and old search algorithms simply do not scale well? (Pagerank algorithm has bunch of assumptions, are they still true/good enough?)

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is Lemmy so US-centric? The largest instances are in Europe, aren't they? So why does it have to be US news trolling as if it were Reddit?
52·4 months agoor, you know, keep it to yourself unless asked? No one needs to know which planet you come from, why does it matter if I’m from Mars? Will you see me as inferior because I didn’t have a good atmosphere or liquid water in my childhood and my favorite color is red because that’s what we had?

Technology@lemmy.world•We need to stop pretending AI is intelligentEnglish
41·4 months agoCustomarily, when doing these kind of calculations we ignore stuff which keep us alive because these things are needed regardless of economic contributions, since you know people are people and not tools.
I don’t miss the price haha, I miss its implications: If you were outside, you were outside; and there was no email which could hopefully find you well.
24/7 connectivity was a mistake. I miss that brief window when we had cheap supercomputers in our pockets, but data was still expensive.
1/e is about 37%, maybe 1-1/e?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If we silenced all the sources of misinformation/disinformation people would be aghast at how quiet it is.
2·7 months agoHow can you sell it to people who “didn’t know they needed it” then? (“Bad” example -> luxury items, “good” example -> new tech which is actually helpful but hard to explain)

If you are “strong” enough to commit genocide, you are usually “strong” enough to reject punishment.
