Oh I read it was a backdoored BIOS.

Yeah libreboot would probably not help much then.

Hate-spewing riots?

Didn’t know just stop oil was doing that, last I checked they put cornstarch on Stonehenge which washed off a day later.

Libreboot ftw

Ad hominem/personal insults, the perfect argument winner.

What, “coward”?

🙄

The fact that this platform is developed by transphobes is a big FUCKING deal

Not really. Usually the issue is the platform devs also control the instances/servers but that isn’t the case here.

The code isn’t transphobic. The code is code. We shouldn’t reject perfectly good code because we don’t like who wrote it. That’s just giving the software solely to the people who do to the detriment of everyone else.

Because he’s the developer. He can easily change a line of code to exploit users and servers across the fediverse.

This can be done by anyone, and applies to any platform. It’s not a problem unique to Lemmy.

I also don’t see how transphobia and backdooring everyone are at all related.

Get over yourself you jumped up twat. I don’t have to provide you with evidence for anything. I understand how the fediverse works.

Someone sounds upset.

If you make a claim in an attempt to discredit a whole platform of people, don’t be surprised when someone asks you to provide evidence.

There are plenty of fucked up little scrotes on here with weird as fuck fetishes and I dont care to see it in my feed

Fun fact: you can add certain communities to your feed and only view those. So either you’re not using your own feed, or you’ve added those communities to it.

I already block entire instances, communities and anyone who posts fucking weird porn cartoons or political american shit or any other shit I think is retarded. I dont give a shit whatever sordid shit turns you on. I dont need to know about it. Its not all on one instance, or one user and I’m forever filtering it out…

Sounds like a problem with the instance you picked then. I do not have this issue, and you clearly haven’t heard of an NSFW toggle. That or it doesn’t work.

Nobody cares if you don’t care about other things on the internet. It does not belong to you, you don’t get to go on an angry tirade when there are things you don’t like, and you definitely don’t get to use it to try and slander people who are completely unrelated to it. Learn to properly curate your feed and move on.

there’s the evidence

You’ve made a claim. A claim is not evidence.

Have you seen

No, I have not. Not from my instance, lemmy.world (which is the instance we’re talking on) or any others that end up in my feed or even the “All” feed.

Have you tried blocking the one single instance that’s probably coming from?

Or even just using your feed?

And I hate to break it to you, but one community on the fediverse is not indicative of “this crowd being heavy” with anyone. If that were the case, all social media, and real life, would be.

The mod team is absolutely aware of the criticisms - they’re censoring them.

I just got a comment deleted just for telling OP to engage with the criticism instead of hiding away with people who agree with them.

I wonder if they were former Reddit power mods?

No, I was talking about software issues.

And if you know that both non-self-driving cars and self-driving cars are both equally prone to mechanical issues, why bring it up as a counterpoint?

Removed by mod

Oh so strength doesn’t decrease when testosterone lowers and estrogen increases, and vice-versa?

This crowd is heavy with animal fuckers

You got any evidence to back up that ridiculous claim? Because it seems that you’re just trying to slander people who disagree with you.

Self-driving cars are no less prone to mechanical failures.

I don’t know about your city, but I trust technology a lot more than the average driver.

I don’t. Technology can be subject to glitches, bugs, hacking, deciding to plow right through pedestrians (hello Tesla!), etc.

While the case can be made that human drivers are worse at reaction time and paying attention, at least a “dumb” car can’t be hacked, won’t be driven off the road due to a bug, won’t try to knock people over itself without stopping, etc.

A human, when they catch these things happening, can correct them (even if it is caused by them). But if a computer develops a fatal fault like that, or is hijacked, it cannot.

EDIT: It seems like this community is full of AI techbro yes-men. Any criticism or critical analysis of their ideas seems to be met with downvotes, but I’ve yet to get a reply justifying how what I said is wrong.

The dip in windows is corrolated with the increase in linux

Well, yeah? The users have to come from somewhere?

Its just a measurement error

Maybe

In a before-first-unlock state they absolutely are bruteforcing, since the filesystem is encrypted. The exploits are for bypassing the retry limit in that case.

And the manufacturers don’t have your encryption keys. They’re unique.

Use a long password and you’ll be immune from their before first unlock brute force.

Passcodes are trivial to break.

Laws don’t make a democracy authoritarian either

How do you think former democracies turn, like the Weimar Republic turned into Nazi Germany?

It started with legislation.

Also, this country already has deeply authoritarian aspects, such as GCHQs immunity to the public and their tapping of the internet backbone and storage of the data with no accountability. If that’s not authoritarian, I don’t know what is.

Also, remember that NotMyKing protestors in London (ORGANISED PROTEST) were arrested en-masse for NO reason, only to be released when the event was over. But yeah, we’re “not authoritarian”.

They have just as much freedom to protest as everyone else has

Little and declining every day? What, are you only okay with it if they’re standing with signs in a corner where they can be conveniently ignored?

If they think they can break the law without punishment, they are simply wrong and stupid.

Oh yeah, I forgot, only lobbying fossil fuel companies get that privilege. Destroy the environment and become immune from repercussions. Score!

The law is being changed to slowly ban effective protest, does that mean it’s okay to crush protest? No! To say it is just because the laws were passed in a democracy (by either stupid or malicious politicians) doesn’t make it just, or any less authoritarian.

Also consider that the FPTP election system is deeply undemocratic to begin with, where a party with about 30% of votes can gain a majority despite the majority actually voting against them.
