Technology@lemmy.world•Microsoft Teams users are extremely angry at new banner asking them to payEnglish
3·2 days agoIt was very odd at my company. We were a Google Workspace company. Gmail, Meet, Drive, etc with our own servers for messaging, gitlab and some other things.
Sure being Google based isn’t great either, but generally people were fine with it. Then the C suite said we were moving to Microsoft. Lots and lots of complaining, asking for justification, but no reason was given (not even cost). Today people are still cursing teams 18months later. We’re not in control of our own data (things get deleted every time somebody leaves, and permissions are generally a mess).
That’s not how the word gimp was used. It was a cripple. Somebody with a gimp was somebody with a limp.

Technology@lemmy.world•China car giant BYD says it can thrive without USEnglish
33·4 days agoInteresting, because I heard recent reports of huge amounts of inventory and large upfront manufacturing costs painting a picture of a company with extremely large amounts of debt to service. Some likening it to the Evergrande property company.
I doubt it’s on that scale, but I could easily believe BYD is another hyper accelerated company with shaky fundamentals.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Ubuntu 26.04 Allows "sudo apt install rocm" But It's Months Out-Of-DateEnglish
1·4 days agoIronically, that stability is probably why AMD target Ubuntu. They don’t want everything else on the bleeding edge. Just their bit.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Framework announced the Framework 13 Pro with full Linux compatibility from the StartEnglish
1·8 days agoIf you have a swap partition setup that’s larger than the RAM the Linux will hibernate into it. Trouble is a lot of people don’t bother with swap partitions these days.

Technology@lemmy.world•Stop Killing Games delivers 'absolutely incredible' hearing in European Parliament: 'There was no [parliament member] that wasn't responding positively'English
161·8 days agoI see this kind of reaction a bit, but the fact is if you win on one topic you have a foundation to argue other topics.
It’s a Trojan horse issue on all ownership rights and right to repair issues.

Linux@lemmy.ml•Framework announced the Framework 13 Pro with full Linux compatibility from the StartEnglish
29·9 days agoI think framework are worthy of support even though the company is American.
- Regardless of who you buy from… Manufacture including assembly is done in east Asia. That’s where most of your money is going.
- Framework are not tech giants. They’re a small company battling giants.
- The ethos of ownership, repair and upgrade needs supporting.
- They’ve been following through on their promises.
So yes, I’m not buying US goods as much as I can also. I make an exception for Framework. They’re the resistance in an occupied nation.

Technology@lemmy.world•EU age verification app announced to protect children onlineEnglish
2·15 days agoA response I gave elsewhere in this thread.
This authority will provide you with tokens indicating you are 18+ (or whatever age verfication you may need) These tokens are stored locally, and contain no identifying information other than a simple “is this guy 18+?”
So they’re reusable? One token can be used for multiple age checks, right?
If not, then think about what that means.
- The token gets sent back to the authority for revocation.
- The token is authorised by the central authority as still valid.
- The token is uniquely identifiable
- The central authority knows who it issued each token for
- The central authority knows who has asked it the verify age.
Sure, the company you’re purchasing from may have no new information, but the central authority now has everything it needs to know:
- How often you buy tobacco, alcohol or medications
- What discussion boards you are a member of
- Have you purchased anything age restricted from any store (e.g. propane from a DIY store)

3·15 days agoYour step 4 will make the token reusable, or at least reusable within a time frame. If a token can only be used once there has to be some information flow back to a central approval authority.

1·21 days agoCan somebody explain peertube for me? It sounds like it should be a federated video service, but either the federation doesn’t work very well or there’s nothing on it.

2·26 days agoIt’s the beginning of reality biting for sure.
I think the big one will be when companies like openAI and anthropic have to file audited books in order to IPO (which they both want to do).

Technology@lemmy.world•Australia’s teen social media ban is a flop. But there’s no joy in ‘I told you so’English
341·27 days agoThe fallback argument for the social media ban is that it’s better than nothing. But with results like these, it may be worse than nothing, given it potentially creates new problems. Children will remain online with arguably less supervision and support, new privacy and digital security vulnerabilities seem to have appeared and the worst aspects of social media lay largely unaddressed.
I wish more people understood this. Changing something can mean you’ve caused harm unintentionally, even if you haven’t identified it yet. Too many people seem to have the thought process “We have to do something! This is something. Let’s do this.” without ever considering the harm they might do.

I believe Codeberg also has import mechanisms for all the bits alongside the git repo as well. Issues, releases and all that kind of stuff.
