GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Teens, with mixed feelings about their own phones, say their parents need to log offEnglish28·1 year agoIf I’m having a conversation with someone and they start looking at their phone while I’m talking, I just stop talking and stare at them. More than a few times I’ve been told “keep going I’m listening” I don’t, I just let them finish and only start talking again when the set the phone down.
It’s very passive aggressive but it does make the other person feel a bit uncomfortable.

Yet when the topic of raising taxes on these people comes up they all freak out, like if they have to pay an extra 20% on their wealth they will be living on the streets.
GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Inside Mark Zuckerberg’s Top-Secret Hawaii Compound | WIREDEnglish5·1 year agoYep. I think “The Road” by Cormack McCarthy is probably the closest to what a post-apocalyptic world would look like and that shit is bleak.
GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Inside Mark Zuckerberg’s Top-Secret Hawaii Compound | WIREDEnglish261·1 year agoThe few wealthy people I’ve met, not billionaires but $100+ millionaires, seem to have a limited skill set. They have “people” to do the work. I’ve always wondered how they would fair in a post-apocalyptic world?
Personally I’d rather have those people that can MacGuyver a solution out of rubber bands and mud.
All this to say that ol’ Zuck should probably hire some good ol’ boys/girls to do his work for him or he’s screwed.

GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•What technological mega project is practical to build today?English7·2 years agoThe total cost for the Afghanistan and Iraq wars was $8 Trillion over 20 years This country has the money it just doesn’t the leadership that wants to change. And why would they want to change? The way this country runs work$ well for them.
GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Why Is Computer Security Advice So Confusing?English2·2 years agoOne problem is that a great deal of correct security advice contradicts “common knowledge” security practices. Password character classes – “must include capitals, lowercase, numbers, and symbols” – are a standard example. That idea got rooted in security requirements for banks and such, and it was a bad idea even then.
I don’t know a lot about computer security - but must include capitals, lowercase, numbers, etc seems like a good idea, why is it not?

I put quotes at the beginning of my paper, copied word for word the introduction to a n “Egypt for Kids” book and closed quotes. Didn’t plagiarize- quoted all my sources…
Teacher had a parent conference the next week…
GoofSchmoofer@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•Authors sue OpenAI for scraping and summarizing their booksEnglish3·2 years agoWhile someone somewhere will bitch about it and say I’m not being creative enough or I should have my own sound
There isn’t an artist dead or alive that doesn’t use another artist as inspiration or even “borrow” from them. I’m sure The Prodigy has bands and music that they draw on to make their stuff. You probably already know all of this but you keep doing your shit man and screw the haters.
I seem to remember a story from trumps first term that there was a few hundred children that went missing from their detention centers and ICE didn’t have a clue as to where they went.
Did this happen? And was there any follow up?
Because if it’s true then ICE has been at the very least turning a blind eye towards human trafficking for years.
