Full title: The Dutch Data Protection Authority has decided to fine Uber €825 million ($966 million) under European data protection rules for deactivating driver accounts through automated systems without adequately informing them

context is that this is a 16 year old video that youtube randomly recommended to people this week for some reason. It’s a remake of this video with neru using rens voice pitched down.

video link: youtu.be/7_n2Giym980

im getting better at making these gif memes though (*^▽^*)
I figured out how to make it without using kdenlive (which HATES the gif format) and instead I used imgflip.com for the text and added it to the video using ezgif.com

i also made it all with my left hand because i sprained my other wrist falling off a unicycle ＞︿＜
On the bright side i got a pretty brace this time instead of a lame black one ^_^

The bitter lesson, physical edition?

One night I took acid and I realized I’d surrounded myself all my life with bad friends.

There is no meme. Whatever your life is like, I hope you’ll always have and protect your ability to leave.

On Tuesday, opening statements begin in Oakland, Calif., for the latest social media trial. California and other states have brought a case against Meta, owner of Facebook and Instagram, saying the company “harnessed powerful and unprecedented technologies to entice, engage and ultimately ensnare youth and teens.”

Meta denies the allegations. But you know who else has some issues with social media, screen time and the addictive nature of devices? Quite a few of the tech executives in Silicon Valley, at least when it comes to their own households.

“I don’t generally want my kids to be sitting in front of a TV or computer for a long period of time,” Mark Zuckerberg, Meta’s chief executive, once said. Interacting with people is good, but passively consuming content — “just going from video to video” — was not associated with “the same positive benefits,” he explained.

When Mr. Zuckerberg’s second child was born in 2017, he and his wife, Priscilla Chan, wrote in an open letter to her that “it’s important to make time to go outside and play.” Smelling flowers got a shout-out. So did picking up leaves. Nothing digital rated a mention.

Tech executives like Mr. Zuckerberg don’t talk about their own families often. When they do, however, they usually make clear their wariness of tech. For their children, tech does not play the same role it does for the rest of society: teacher, babysitter, all-purpose distraction and, increasingly, constant companion. It seems barely there at all.

While icons on iOS (formerly iPhoneOS) have always been rounded squares, and rounded-square icons have existed on Apple platforms for over 20 years now, Mac app icons have historically exhibited a variety of unique silhouettes, which helped identification alongside other visual tools like color, lighting, and dimensionality.

Because app icons from the Mac OS X era are so beloved, it’s very understandable—relatable even—how mandating rounded square app icons is downright heartbreaking to long-time Mac OS X users.

What happened? Why did this happen? And what should we do?

i made this thingy for our bathroom downstairs about two years ago. so that’s what i will post now. the translations are added in post.

not sure what to add to this… last post i was like “what to post?” and peeps went “whatever feels good, there is no set theme for 196” so now this is what i’m posting. because why not. you can’t stop me (unless you very kindly ask me to not post this kind of content. in that case i will consider not doing it)

i wish you a wonderful day where someone does something for you, even if it’s small.

Well I guess I’m eating crow for suggesting MacOS was secure. JESUS lmfao, this one is nasty.

“Would Rust have solved this” oops, nope

Only few more to go! Only playing hard mode and higher + no macros.

Anyone else here playing?

Humanoid robot brains could see a breakthrough by late next year similar to the dramatic impact ChatGPT had on AI ​usage, the CEO of Chinese embodied AI startup ACE Robotics said on Friday.

“We expect to reach the ‘ChatGPT moment’ for embodied intelligence by the end of next year, driven by world models and environmental data capture,” Wang Xiaogang told Reuters.

“Even if we reach that inflection point by late 2027, it will likely take another four to five years to see broad commercial implementation of embodied world models across sectors,” said Wang, who is also a co-founder of Chinese AI visual recognition pioneer SenseTime.

I am planing to buy a new car. Which of these are better relatively speaking in terms of privacy, Mercedes-Benz, BMW, or Audi? I can’t buy old used cars. I have to buy a new car. I like new safety features but I don’t want privacy invasive features, or subscription services.

inspired by Maria’s last post, I thought I ought to show off my custom keyboard I made with my girlfriend! It’s a fucked up layout that I like. It’s technically open source but I really wouldn’t recommend it as I’ve never bothered to actually get the screen working 🥴

Here’s a closer-up of the custom xenia keycaps I got made

And here’s a close-up of the silkscreened comic sans text

tl;dr- my favorite container is the firefox browser. My work browser is seriously locked down, so I just go to my Homer page and click firefox and a firefox instance opens inside my edgelord browser with all my bookmarks and extensions. It’s a simple thing, but easily the service I use more than any other.(compose pasted at bottom)

Anyway, I started with docker desktop on winblows 11. I learned the ropes and then when docker desktop inshittified in an update, I switched to Rancher. All my services are picked up on their local ports by nginx-proxy-manager and then sent through a cloudflared tunnel to the domain I bought, with a customized homer page and strict access controls. Because the VM on windows was running my poor little refurbished Thinkstation too hard, I recently deleted winblows (such a good feeling) and moved over to a headless Debian server, which I run through SSH on my refurbished thinkcenter. 97% usage down to 13% (seriously). I’m only in this computer game for about $500 total and I have more than a few TBs of storage (used SAS drives were really cheap a little while ago and the hardware/learning curve is worth it). If you don’t game, old stuff works just fine for pennies on the dollar (I have unplugged backups of all my really important stuff).

I use AI for the CLI stuff I down have memorized. Linux is still frustrating- File ownership is foreign and super irritating to me, being my most recent source of frustration. My Filebrowser instance broke itself and I haven’t gotten it back, and of the 30 times I’ve tried to get Nextcloud to work, I’ve been successful zero times.

Anyway, it has been hours of my life arguably wasted but it has been fun and educational, and I get to give the finger to big data for the most part. I don’t like the cloudflared thing, but free is hard to beat and unless I start torrenting again, I really don’t need or want to pay for a VPS. I search this forum and others for new containers to spin up. I marvel at other folks’ setups and the money they have spent. I’m a rusty and recycled guy, not a new and shiny guy, but man some of this custom-built, laser-cut, 3d printed stuff is cool.

I just wanted to share my experience and hopefully encourage anyone who is just starting or is on the fence.

Eclipse SUMO is a free and open source traffic simulation suite, highly portable, microscopic and continuous traffic simulation package designed to handle large networks.

It allows modelling of intermodal traffic systems - including road vehicles, public transport and pedestrians. Included with SUMO is a wealth of supporting tools that automate core tasks for the creation, the execution and evaluation of traffic simulations, such as network import, route calculations, visualization and emission calculation. SUMO can be enhanced with custom models and provides various APIs to remotely control the simulation
