The more I find out about the tech bro dissolution of the United States, the more it seems certain & scary.

It’s the Business Plot from the 1930s. History rhymes in a circular fascion.

Sorry, Yiddish, I think I pointed this out in one of your other threads, and I don't mean to spam, but it bears repeating...

Ring is partnering with Flock:

I inherited a Ring camera with my house and added more, I'm now in the process of de-Ringifying everything.

Well this is extremely unnerving and expected. I mean jesus shit.

Edit: I met a Russian expat in SE Asia, I don't know how correct what he says is, but he's in IT like me and runs his own org, and he says that Russia is ridiculously surveilled with cameras with advanced facial recognition that will easily identify you in spite of disguises like masks or sunglasses or basically anything you try, he says they have absolute control over who and where people are at any given time, and that's where the US is heading full speed.

Edit2: Also, everyone check out Benn Jordan, who's hacking this various shit,

You know shit is off the rails when the unibomber is starting to sound reasonable.

What could you expect from a company named after the Palantír?

New name was of course - INTegrated ELectronics, or Intel for short. The fact that "intel" was the term for intelligence information was also quite suitable, but that name was already taken by some hotel chain in the mid-west. In the end, Moore & Noyce Electronics bought the name from the chain and renamed itself Intel Corporation.

I think it can be repaired but it would require an actual human being as a leader. I dont know if you have that over there in politics.

Someone who isnt a huge friend of the billionaries. Actually when I think about it, you will find no such person.

Yeah, Steve is about as non-smug and non-jerk as I've seen in this space.

[-] darkevilmac@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago

I like GN but Steve is definitely a little smug at times, but he's earned it considering how often he's correct.

[-] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago

And Steve is willing to correct himself if he’s not right and not double down on being wrong

[-] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works -1 points 1 month ago

I think that's mostly for the camera. He seems like a really down to earth guy.
