Everyone should get subsidies for their home electric usage from these data centers
Re:IRS online only allows ID.me biometric registration now on Thursday February 12, 2026 @08:42PM (#46997903)
Are they locked into a contract that prevents them to use login.gov? I presume once the irs and dmv switched Id.me is toast
You don’t really make that much electricity in the winter when you need the heat
What is a better way to get your kids to behave than to let them scroll TikTok with headphones on for hours? Phone is a babysitter nowadays.

All you need is a phone and lit TikTok feed. Just like in WALL·E
Microsoft Zune had the ability to send music wirelessly to other Zunes, it was called squirting
Can host it on a website. Why bother with an app?

Fastmail is kind of a weird service. If you stop paying they release your email for someone else to take over. Pretty unacceptable this day and age.

The most relevant are dockworkers, especially since they recently negotiated against AI and automation. They are also highly paid

At what point should software engineers unionize?

With AI triggering layoffs, seems now is better than later. Curious what the downsides would be if we collectively rejected the use of AI or demanded a 3-4 day work week due to efficiency gains.As an aside, I was surprised there isn’t a SaaS tool to organize and execute this using your corporate email

Instead of rewarding our efficiency using AI with maybe a 3-4 day work week, they’ll just lay us off instead

Google pay was never able to fix the pre-compiled animation rendering issue on iOS where the first transition or animation is always janky and then it gets cached and no longer has jank.

That is quite a non-starter imo

Re:iMessage, explained on Saturday December 09, 2023 @03:43PM (#38585872)
This is good. This iMessage back door would have allowed spoofing of phone numbers, hijacking sms from non iMessage users, and lots of spam
So a phone without it being a phone?
Google could have released a rcs messenger app on iOS this whole time. Not sure what they were doing

Trusting only metas Eula’s is better than trusting both meta and beeper

Is that secure though?
