Even in the US many states allow kids to start driving as early as 15 under learning permits. It’s funny we don’t want social media companies putting controls in due to freedom of speech, but then tell parents they are responsible to control their kids. Seems like there is a middle ground, and when a person abuses that control, they go to jail.

on Datacenter rush will create ‘tsunami’ of discarded electronics, report says in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Sep 2026
Pretty much, or hardware that’s so expensive to run because of electricity that newer stuff makes sense. That’s always been the case, like ohh I can get cheap server hardware, until I look at my power bill.

I don’t think that’s going to be the case. All that bitcoin mining stuff, completely used up and mostly worthless at this point, and by the time the next (or two generations) comes out, so much of the old serve stuff is expensive to run, and then unsupported. I think re-use is great, but at a point real recycling needs to be the better option.

on Bernie Sanders proposes 20 year prison sentence for AI devs who plow ahead with Artificial Superintelligence plans - penalty on par with illegally developing rogue nuclear weapons in c/technology@lemmy.world · 15 Sep 2026
If you look at the data, by relative income there were more people earning the top marginal tax rate then than there are now. That’s the entire problem and why it’s a ignorant argument, it’s based on income. Those multi-millionaires/billionaires are not earning income, it’s investments that are driving their wealth. We already have a tax basis on that. So what the real change would be is to move to a wealth tax, however that has failed in every country it’s been enacted in.

I don’t think pushing AI is wrong, corporate greed, wanton destruction of the environment, disregard of the future of humanity for a quick buck is the real issue. However, since no one can agree on what the future looks like, so why is anything going to change?

If you look back, essentially no one ever paid those high tax rates, so your solution would do nothing.

Not sure if you haven’t noticed, but go try to by tech right now. Ask Apple how much they are raising prices regardless of where it’s being sold at. Tariffs in the US absolutely will and do harm global prices, and you’d be completely out of touch to not think that. But thanks for the ‘hurr hurr I am not from the US’ excuse.

on As Ubuntu embraces AI, Debian discusses banning all AI-generated code in c/technology@lemmy.world · 28 Aug 2026
It already is, especially at the entry level, which is a massive problem. You went to college, have the education but don’t have the skills, and an AI bot can do essentially 80% of your work, with little of the cost. Think about all the people already putting websites, marketing, images together that otherwise you would need to pay someone for. No need to pay for them, even if they do a better job, because most of the time you aren’t looking for 100% when 80% will do. That’s the unfortunate reality that we all live in.

on As Ubuntu embraces AI, Debian discusses banning all AI-generated code in c/technology@lemmy.world · 28 Aug 2026
I mean at this point people are looking for connections, so that bot who will do basically whatever you say and stroke your ego, sure seems like something ‘better’ than actually going out and being rejected. There likely is going to be a point in the future where people have more ‘augmented friendships’ than actual friendships.

on As Ubuntu embraces AI, Debian discusses banning all AI-generated code in c/technology@lemmy.world · 28 Aug 2026
Why? AI and technology in general absolutely replaces human labor. For me, the hate is that is coming extremely rapidly and there is little thought from anyone about what’s going to be next. A post scarcity society is inching ever closer, and individuals are just pissed about the system, governments can’t do anything, and the owners are figuring out how to monetize it all. Seems like we are cooked if we don’t all start working on ideas of what society looks like when very few need to actually ‘work’, or a larger portion of society cannot work. Because even without AI or technological advancements, the population is rapidly aging and simply will not be able to work.

on As Ubuntu embraces AI, Debian discusses banning all AI-generated code in c/technology@lemmy.world · 28 Aug 2026
Technology has always replaced humans though. That’s ultimately the point. The problem becomes when there aren’t alternatives for humans to do but we still live in a capitalistic and consumeristic society.
I think everyone want’s their lives to be easier, but they also want to be able to eat, survive and thrive.

on Americans are cheering for vigilantes who take down Flock cameras | The surveillance cameras have become another flashpoint of growing bipartisan anger against tech industry excess. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 28 Aug 2026
In some states (like mine), they shove these laws allowing access into omnibus must pass bills, and since representatives cant vote down on them, you basically would have to vote everyone out. Better ideas is to show up at every city and county meeting, with your community members and make such noise about it, that they have to do something about it so they can’t keep hiding behind under the counter deals.

You could go to city and county meetings and help get these things banned altogether. Legal and a much more effective way to do things.

Yep, while being a vigilante and likely getting caught get’s headlines, the better action is use your legal rights, show up to city, county and state meetings and get them banned all together. Getting your representatives to answer to the people is the best course of action and always the most productive one long term for actual change.

Would be great if it was just the AI industry, but it’s simply expanding what tech is subject to tariffs, so its the people that pay the price. Couldn’t afford that RAM already, so I guess it doesn’t matter right?
-

I’m not sure how higher tech prices for you and I are a good thing, but sure. Because that’s what is going to happen here, it’s simply expanding tariffs on more items.

on Motorola's 2027 flagships will officially support GrapheneOS in c/technology@lemmy.world · 26 Aug 2026
I’m not sure about that. I have been using Graphene for a bit, and its surprising due to Google just how much stuff breaks and simply doesn’t work or fails silently under Graphene. It feels like one of the old school Custom ROMs which is great, but not on your daily driver phone.

As long as you aren’t doing it during an active investigation, no it wouldn’t be illegal. That’s the problem. Guy thought he was sneaky, and got busted. If you come in to investigate and suddenly you are deleting all the records, you are going to have a serious problem.

on Delta Will Use AI To Cut Costs And Set A Different Ticket Price For Every Passenger—CEO Says Profits Could Rise 50% in c/technology@lemmy.world · 25 Aug 2026
Depends, the free bags, the upgrades, everything else on it can be worth it if you travel or fly enough, but obviously a lot of people don’t think about it and are just spending extra for something they can’t fully utilize.

I mean, flights in the 70’s were also about 3x more expensive than now as well. If you want free bags and treated well, you pay more for your flight, first or business class will give you all of that.

They already have been doing it, and it’s just an extension of what every airline has done since de-regulation, just more granular. If anything, this will make them more money, especially when they already aren’t profitable as an airline, they are profitable because they act as a bank.

It won’t. First and best thing you can do is cancel any credit card you have with them. But people are suckers for those bonuses. Rember, Delta and all of the big US airlines are bigger banks now than actual airlines.

The third party sites will just start getting the max rate, which would effectively eliminate them. Airlines (at least in the US) aren’t making money off flights any longer anyways, it’s all off credit cards. Delta is more of a bank than an airline.

Yep, and if you have a rewards or membership number, they just will ban you. If it happens once not a big deal, couple times even, start doing it regularly though, you will get caught.

They literally will ban you for skip lagging (especially if you use any rewards type system). May save you a few bucks if you don’t use them often and don’t care, but not a great idea.

Or your bag will go into the overhead, and you’ll be the first off the plane, especially when you have a tight connection. That 1A is getting to your next flight. That 38F is f’ed.

I’ve used Proton for quite a bit, and it’s well worth it personally, just the VPN blocking ad’s is pretty fantastic, along with storage and everything else. For Maps, I haven’t found a ‘great’ solution, and instead of Spotify, I just run a Navidrone server at home, and that easily allows me to stream all my audio at the bit rats that I want.

I’ve had GrapheneOS for a little bit now, and while it’s great that ‘Google’ has been stripped from it, but the giant warning that you can’t avoid when restarting the phone, so many services simply breaking, it feels a lot like the old days of custom ROMs. Maybe for certain people it can be a daily driver, but goodness it’s difficult to diagnose and fix bugs when it all comes back to Google permissions and services that you really can’t get around.

His voting record shows Bernie votes with Dems 95% of the time, one of the highest consistently Dem voting representatives there are. So yes, he may be an ‘Independent’ but his voting record says that’s absolutely not the case.

Build some housing and crisis help centers for fucks sake.
Cities, counties, states and the federal government could all do that right now, but seems taxpayers aren’t willing to vote for it.
May want to look into those states… In my 16 year olds can easily drive without an adult. They are limited (can’t drive at night) but are allowed to drive. This the case in a ton of states.
