on Social media addiction affecting boomers, BBC hears in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2d ago
They certainly fall for a lot of crap but younger generations will likely accrue more damage over time since they have been exposed to the crap earlier. Boomers likely experienced boredom and books a tad more than those of in their twenties today :(

Limited to boomers? Isn’t it affecting a whole lot more many demographics ?

In data analytics you sometimes see some weird datasets spanning across a whole lot of columns with what would be otherwise normalised in different records with relations instead.
Shit can be weird in data…

on EU suspends Brazilian meat imports amid safety concerns in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk · 6 Sep 2026
A sound step indeed. Now I wonder how they are top 2 beef providers while I’m pretty sure I have yet to see any South American labelled met around.

on Chinese imports plunge 30% to 40% after EU tax on small parcels in c/buyeuropean@feddit.uk · 2 Sep 2026
I’m quite aware of the theory and how regulations apply.
From what I see there is no functional difference between Amazon and AliExpress though. Both seem to largely skim QC. It’s also generally self-certified so the whole point is relatively irrelevant.
No one will sue AliExpress or Amazon from a small consumer perspective.
But politics for sure love to toy with China more than USA.
From where I sit it all seems very much posturing.

They are reliably the exact same products between Amazon and AliExpress… and I have doubts that those flowing through Amazon are under more scrutiny at this stage. There’s typically only a markup and that’s it. Same support mailbox and all even.

on You Know GDPR Is Good Based on Who Hates It in c/technology@lemmy.world · 29 Aug 2026
GDPR is a bit more than cookies banners… it gives rights to European like deletion of one’s data, right to get a copy of one’s data, portability to some extent and a lot of transparency about what processing is happening. And if one of our DPA is taking an interest in a particular sus processing they can forbid it altogether which all companies fear much more than fines. It’s really a beautiful piece of regulation. And I’m not saying only because I make part of my living out of it :)

Those things are not driven by the same groups of interests. We are not as monolithic as USA.

Let’s hope we can flog them if they don’t obey as well then :) And cut a bunch of hands when catching something stealing some bread out of the bin. And beheadings all those dudes looking vaguely gay or too secular.

Maybe the next Sims won’t fuck anymore? Or the women won’t get to be as extravagant as in previous versions ?

on Young adults in the U.S. are increasingly wary of AI, concerned it will take jobs: 52% of Americans say they are more concerned than excited about the increased use of AI in daily life. in c/technology@lemmy.world · 19 Aug 2026
But so many prerequisites for effective AI implementations are relying on improving quality of inputs / training materials and that is an OPEX siphon.

on Woman Calls Out Doctor Wearing Smart Glasses During Consultation Where She Had To Take Off Her Clothes: 'They Need To Be Banned' in c/technology@lemmy.world · 12 Aug 2026
one of the first use case of augmented reality glasses was medical right after military. There are some positive applications for « smart » glasses. Not those from meta obviously but as with all tools there are good and bad applications and only the siths should deal in absolutes.

on Meta fined $567m in largest child safety ruling against social media giant in c/technology@lemmy.world · 7 Aug 2026
I’m not sure how to position myself when a court orders a company to adapt their software in such specific ways. At the very least that should be a matter of a legislation with a broader analysis and considerations applied to the whole sector. Plus, maybe, consider parenting in the picture… Teenagers should maybe not be looking a notifications during the night.
You can likely call the company to tweak the configuration of yours based on the telemetry. Been there, done that with Vaillant. Nice to be able to get help without involving a tech given how expensive they are - and no tech on site will have the data Vaillant has on my heatpump which means that the tech decisions will always be inferior.
