This is the type of “buried treasure” story that kids have these days.
I just imagine a movie like The Goonies but instead of talking about a cave full their treasure, they tell stories about the “flash drive full of gold” that’s buried somewhere in the deepest reaches of the garbage dump.
This is the future I imagined when I used to watch the Jetsons.
However, I never comprehended what a big data company might do with my vital statistics (privacy)
Heading into the peak holiday shopping season, 74% of shoppers plan to use credit cards to make their purchases, NerdWallet found.
Another 28% will tap into savings to buy holiday gifts and 16% will lean on buy now, pay later services. NerdWallet polled more than 1,700 adults in September.
1700 isn’t a huge sample size, but still pretty interesting figures.
Loved this read, thanks for sharing. A good illustration of how chasing an issue with a quick solution can lead to bigger issues.
I know some people from Clearwater and I think they’d just say “this is our community and our home”. It doesn’t make logical sense, but I’d say a lot about the town a person decides to live in is emotional over practical (unless you move somewhere for a job).
Pretty eye-opening stuff on how deranged cyber criminals can be.
Thanks for bringing this up. I think I’ve heard this too and I have to say I’m of two minds about it.
In one end… I am frustrated with Reddit’s greed and I think they’ve lost most of my respect at this point. I think I’m kinda bitter toward them, so seeing them lose market share might bring me a bit of schadenfreude.
On the other hand, Reddit’s content quality really feels like it’s gone to crap in the last 5-6 years or so. When I came to Lemmy (and Mastodon), it was refreshing because the community seemed to have a bit of that scrappy, fringe attitude that I missed from early Reddit. I’d be sad if that went away due to over-population.
Basically, I like Lemmy and I want it to be even more successful so that algorithms have less control on our lives. At the same time, I dislike Reddit because they’re going whole-hog into enshittification. I guess I just convinced myself that I want Lemmy to continue to grow ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Ya got ripped off
Thanks for sharing this perspective. Complacency won’t grow the userbase here.
I’m glad you posted this here, because there’s obviously a lot of controversy about this.
Seth stans stand UP
Thank you for linking to the vid!
Sounds like he was just being an asshole and wanting to end the interview which the reported kept extending with questions. Seems like this is non-news.
Don’t you think he looks a bit tired?
I nominate NineMileTower for a Pulitzer Prize
This and Grave of the Fireflies are the two depictions of Japanese tragedy during WWII that I always think of
I like to think you know this because you recognized her voice in those pokeys
Always loved this boss. Volvagia was my favorite, but this one was a close second. Hated the dungeon, though.
Really interesting talk. It’s funny to me how as the world gets more and more connected via the internet, more and more the law enforcement branches sacrifice privacy in order to “fight evil”
