Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some unrealistic fictional tropes that have become realistic because people internalized them from fiction?English
10·5 days agoIt’s more common for people to misread fiction and pick the worst bits to promote as the future. For example people who read Acceleranto (https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/accelerando/accelerando.html) and develop not post capitalist innovation but slop factories in space or 1985 and develop social scores based on who the omnipresent cameras see you talking to.

Technology@lemmy.world•A.I. Is Running on Borrowed MoneyEnglish
2·7 days agoAs I’ve pointed out elsewhere pension funds may be exposed to AI but the money in your personal fund doesn’t need to be. If you haven’t already moved your retirement investment out of shares then see if that’s possible. I’ve changed mine to conservative settings already and looking at the list its mainly in cash, property, farming and a few manufacturers now with no tech stocks at all. That seems a sensible mix for when the market collapses this time around.

Privacy@lemmy.world•How do you evaluate a browser extension for privacy/security?English
3·8 days agoIt’s disappointing but some nation state sponsored attackers are either adopting useful addons or creating them from scratch. After they have a sufficient base of trusting users they update the addon to add spying code that activates for a group of accounts possibly targeted by geolocation. The vast majority of users are not even affected. So with that going on it’s hard to be certain of an addons quality.
I’d consider where the addons are hosted. Firefox and Chrome both allow reviewing existing addon permissions so disable when not required or split into risk level profiles for personal vs work vs anon browsing.

Technology@lemmy.world•OpenAI could reportedly run out of cash by mid-2027 — analyst paints grim picture after examining the company's financesEnglish
5·15 days agoSo more AI losses per investor. Shares are just like card collecting it only goes up if the demand is increasing. Right now I suspect it’s reached maximum insanity and is ripe for a correction.

141·15 days agoLook to your superannuation plan. Most providers have a conservative plan that’s little or no shares. If lots of people transfer the message will be loud and clear. At that point the markets will dump AI and things will eventually normalize. I suspect this is already where the elite have their money, given the present warnings.

Technology@lemmy.world•How to burst the AI bubble: Strike at its roots. Sci-fi author/tech journalist Cory Doctorow on his new book, The Reverse Centaur’s Guide to Life After AI.English
2·22 days agoOne thing he didn’t mention is Superannuation plans. If your plan is investing in AI ask them for an alternative or change providers if you can A lot of this shitshow is backed by retirement investments.

News@lemmy.world•Vatican rejects proposal to allow sermons by Catholic womenEnglish
14·29 days agoPhoebe the deaconess would like a word about that. Given Paul thanks her for being a “diakonos” or deacon of the church in Cenchreae. They honor the Bible but prefer their own accumulated traditions over scripture.

10·30 days agoAdmin accounts on Windows have little more control of core functions than a guest user. Its unrealistic to expect this can be prevented it can be mitigated but any workaround will be undone by the next major update.

cybersecurity@infosec.pub•CVE-2026-42530 & CVE-2026-42055: NGINX RCE Flaws Explained. Patches Released
32·1 month agoI’ve found PatchMon to be excellent at prioritizing Linux patching for groups of servers. Depending on how critical vs exposed they are. (https://github.com/PatchMon/PatchMon)
The ability to categorise and tease out common attributes is one of the foundations of science because it lets you make predictions. If something is true of most plants then it is probably true of this specific plant. The next step beyond this primal science is to formulate a hypothesis and test it. If I combine these two metals they should have some of the properties of both sources. Let’s test that at different ratios and temperatures. The problem with Greek proto science is that it’s as much theology and guessing as observation, and they thought they could reason out nature without experimenting.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Pentagon says US military will be an 'AI-first' fighting forceEnglish
12·3 months agoThe next time their targeting hits a school, they will be able to blame the AI so no one has to take responsibility. Just remove all humans from the loop. Autonomous fighting at AI speed and other lies.

World News@lemmy.world•Germany was largest exporter of plastic waste in 2025, sending 810,000 tonnes overseas, analysis findsEnglish
8·3 months agoIt’s provided free to factories for fuel. This is of course unofficial but very widespread. https://www.asia-pacific-solidarity.net/news/2025-05-10/toxic-tofu-how-plastic-waste-west-fuels-food-factories-indonesia.html
Especially when “recycled” mixed plastic and paper from western recycling programs is exported. The plastic is likely to be burnt to cook food.
Disappointed to see my own country implicated in this.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How should I mount my storage HDDs in Proxmox?English
3·3 months agoIf you end up with a second proxmox server with its own storage for redundancy in a cluster then ZFS is great. You can mirror each VM. The only issue is the ZFS storage needs to be named the same. But it can be a different size or media.
