You absolutely can refuse to hire someone (in the US) for something they have no control of, assuming it’s not one of the few protected classes. I could refuse to hire you over height, inability to grow facial hair, etc with zero repercussions.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.world•Beeper vs Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation - Android AuthorityEnglish242·2 years agoThat counts as unauthorized access in the eyes of the law. It’s a private system and they did not have any agreements permitting them to use it as they wanted.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.world•Beeper vs Apple battle intensifies: Lawmakers demand DOJ investigation - Android AuthorityEnglish2921·2 years agoWhy would they need to look into Apple’s conduct here? Investigate Beeper for CFAA violations since they cracked into Apple’s internal APIs and ignored large chunks of their ToS in the process.
Of course Apple is going to shut down unauthorized access to their messaging system. They’d lose all customer trust instantly if they didn’t.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.ml•Spammers are starting to use email addresses with "renewal" in the address, bypassing junk filters. How do we fight this without blocking legitimate renewal emails?English2·2 years agoI run the self-hosted version, aside from having to deploy a couple Docker containers it’s pretty much the same as the SaaS product.
jon@lemmy.tfto Gaming@lemmy.ml•The Day Before mods lock down Discord, urge players to refundEnglish407·2 years agoBacking a Kickstarter for a game is the same as preordering. Money leaves your pocket and enters the studio’s before the game is out.
jon@lemmy.tfto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Fuck Subscriptions. Here is how to setup Streamio like a proEnglish865·2 years agoYour title should be “fuck subscriptions, except subscriptions from this site pulled from 1998” since everything in your guide relies on a paid debrid sub.
jon@lemmy.tfto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•My PDF reader REALLY HAD to add a permanent "AI assistant" button that floats on every single file i openEnglish551·2 years agoHey this name is familiar… these guys sent me all their app telemetry for a couple weeks because they hardcoded AWS LB IPs into their software, and I got lucky enough to get one of those recycled IPs.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.ml•How """not""" to handle security vulnerabilitiesEnglish22·2 years agoMaybe someone should fork Opencart and patch the security vulnerabilities and try to drive people away from this guy’s repo, since he’s just combative anytime someone raises a concern.
Or quit using his code altogether.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.ml•Elon's "extremely hardcore" toxic work culture means people are forced to take Adderall without a prescription to meet their workload. Just ask SpaceX employees.English391·2 years agoOh cool, so Elon has helped contribute to the adderall shortage in a roundabout way.
jon@lemmy.tfto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Cities: Skylines 2 dev says it won't release paid DLC until performance "fixed to our standards"English2·2 years agoIf they had released mod tools on day 1 like they originally said, most of the game-breaking issues would have been addressed by modders by now.
jon@lemmy.tfto Gaming@lemmy.ml•Cities: Skylines 2 dev says it won't release paid DLC until performance "fixed to our standards"English21·2 years agoIf the game doesn’t meet their own standards, why exactly did they bother releasing it instead of delaying PC like the consoles were?
We have shoddy repair places here in the US too, but that’s no reason to make people to hunt for some region-specific community for their hardware questions.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@beehaw.org•Nvidia will stop price gouging you for their cards and features when you stop buying them.English9·2 years agoAMD has ROCm which tries to get close. I’ve been able to get some CUDA applications running on a 6700xt, although they are noticeably slower than running on a comparable NVidia card. Maybe we’ll see more projects adding native ROCm support now that AMD is trying to cater to the enterprise market.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@beehaw.org•Injured person reportedly dies after Cruise cars block first respondersEnglish28·2 years agoMaybe don’t allow autonomous cars on public streets then? The tech is nowhere near ready for prime time.
Looks like I’m about to switch fully to YT-DL/Plex for the subscriptions I care about. Should be good until they start embedding ads into the video files anyway.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.world•First U.S. nuclear reactor built from scratch in decades enters commercial operation in GeorgiaEnglish362·2 years agoYeah, after literally bankrupting Westinghouse and costing us Georgians billions of dollars. I’m all for more nuclear power but this project was a colossal shitshow.
Georgia also has some shiny new solar factories so I’m interested to see how deep into renewables we can get in the next decade.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.world•Reddit Gives Final Warning to Subreddits Using NSFW Protest TacticEnglish0·2 years agoThey can, but Reddit can just as easily restore it, with a blank mod list. But based on their actions I wouldn’t be surprised if they outright ban any mods that try this.
jon@lemmy.tfto Technology@lemmy.ml•Twitter threatens to sue Meta over Threads app – reportEnglish4·2 years agoProbably, it’d be pretty stupid not to put his ex-Twitter engineers on the Threads projects. But it’s entirely legal to have your employees work on something close to what they did at their last job. I’d be very, very surprised if Meta knowingly allowed stolen IP to be incorporated into their new product, Musk needs to provide some evidence to back his claims.
Get uBlock Origin and then YouTube will stop serving all ads. Or quit using YouTube entirely since Google is doing everything in their power to run the platform down the drain.
