Even if you are not doing anything particularly sketchy, you still want to make a habit of using multiple unrelated email addresses and always using alts with new unrelated names.

That’s some pretty bad opsec, using a single email address with the same nick.

I think Andreessen is lying and the “techno optimist manifesto” is a ruse for PR.

a16z has been involved in various crypto pump and dumps. They are smart enough to know that something like “play to earn” is not sustainable and always devolves into a pyramid scheme. Doesn’t stop them from getting in early and dumping worthless tokens on the marks.

The manifesto honestly reads like it was written by a teenager. The style, the tone, the excessive quotes from economists. This is pretty typical stuff for American oligarch polemics, no?

The nation introduced a labor policy in 2018 that capped maximum work hours to 52 – 40 hours of regular time and 12 hours of overtime.

To be honest, I would be surprised if this rule was actually followed. Perhaps someone with more knowledge could comment.

I always found interesting how some american oligarchs have a fondness for inserting themselves in the pop culture zeitgeist.

This seems like a win-win scenario for everyone involved.

Bluesky is a corporate hedge to delay the social network business from becoming not a business, it is headed by variously naive or disengenous tech people who believe they are creating the future when they are mercenaries for the past.

That’s a great sounding description.

It’s too bad we can’t add it to their about about page.

I personally lean towards disingenuous though. Tech oligarchs and their lackeys are many things, but not naive.

They are likely trying to promote the URL in the post body as opposed to sharing this (highly generic) info on Lemmy.

Thanks for sharing. Going to read this before bed (yes, I am a nerd).

Having multiple DND profile would be very helpful.

At last a new Android feature that I somewhat excited for. I honestly stop following Android updates around 9/10.

Not to be a “snob”, but chances are if you know about Voyager 1/2, you probably know that their power supplies are running out. More clarity is never bad though.

I don’t believe this is a Trump specific thing, at least that was the impression I got when I did get a chance to live in the US.

I am a long-time Ars reader and subscriber. I am not American, but I always found their articles on various public policy issues to be interesting and fascinating.

One particularly fascinating element is the callousness of the various “legal arguments” used to justify (and enable) various crimes/corruption schemes.

“I didn’t know this was illegal … it’s the fences fault … we sold both voice and data info, so umm it’s legal.”

Motherfuckers, you were selling real-time location of your customers to random thugs. By any real understanding of the term “justice”, you should be locked up for decades with full asset seizure.

No sane person would agree for you to sell their real-time location data to random goons. You know this and you dare to come up with this gibberish?

It’s not even so much the corruption/criminality that is fascinating (things like that happen everywhere), but the arrogance and callousness inherent to their world salad.

There is a reason the “forbidden fruit” concept was chosen for inclusion in religious texts. :)

This hasn’t been said just once though.

What is the point of this article?

Agreed. I wish the source page had a better summary of the research paper.

Perhaps that’s an opportunity, if you don’t think it’s a value trap that is.

I like that it’s a separate application. I had issues with the way OneDrive integrated with Windows/Office and conflicts with my corporate OneDrive account (this was a while ago, this may have been fixed).

I always prefer to have a full local copy (Google Drive, which a use for specific data has been really annoying with this) without using Cloud Files API or any extra features. A literal cloud sync of specific folder, nothing else.

I mostly use Dropbox out of habit (and because I have a grandfathered account). I’ve been meaning to switch to ProtonDrive (already have a paid account with them for email), just haven’t got to it yet.
