Instead of obtaining a warrant, the NSA would like to keep buying your data
  • Our data. About us. Bought by our government. With tax money we gave them. How can I get a piece of this pie?

    Yes, these companies they are buying from are getting rich off our tax money. Boycott Google? Not gonna happen. They just get your money indirectly.

    Besides speed, what would actually suck about surfing the internet back in the day compared to now?
  • No mention of Mosaic (first web browser)? What sucked was you generally had to compile it yourself. That meant installing all the build tooling, building it, and turning it loose. Oh. Windows? Lol. No go. Gotta get an early version of Linux up and running first. That usually meant 20+ diskettes of Slackware installation.

    But then you could surf in all the basic HTTP glory. It was a new world and it was awesome.

    Just got a notice from my antivirus when I reloaded the lemmy.world Local Communities page, that I was protected by being blocked by something called derp.foo botnet.
  • I got flagged on my work computer for connecting to derp foo (probably for an image). To satisfy security, had to remove all chrome extensions and reset chrome.

    So I don't use Lemmy on my work computer anymore. That's sad.

    [help] Learning to code
    • Hello World
    • Read a file
    • Write a file
    • Read a file and loop through it line by line, printing each one (for loop or equivalent)
    • Program that consists of 2 or more source files

    What I'm getting at is instead of a full program, write code snippets and small programs. In doing this eventually an idea for something larger will pop into your head.

  • apnews.com San Franciscans mourn closure of 127-year-old pioneering Anchor Brewing Co.

    Beer lovers are flocking to Anchor Brewing Co.'s tap room to mourn the loss of the iconic brewer and buy some of its last beers.

    They claim to be 127 years old. But have been a big part of the craft beer scene since the 70's.

    Sad panda.

    You Need to Read the Terms of Service for OpenAI and ChatGPT
  • This isn't true in the least. Purchase a tool and look through the manual. Every section marked "danger", "warning", or "caution" was put in there because someone sued some company because the user or some bystander was hurt or injured.

    You Need to Read the Terms of Service for OpenAI and ChatGPT
  • I am not a lawyer and the implications are larger than this.

    Do not post, share, trade, or otherwise make public any ChatGPT output from your sessions until you fact verify that data to the extent that you're willing to take legal responsibility for it. In this case, especially causing a lawsuit against OpenAI. Because when that happens, you will foot the bill.

    I am not a lawyer.
