It’s not necessarily imaging as in optics. Could be OPIR, encrypted comms, space to space ASAT, or any number of other things besides just earth imaging.

Maybe they’re talking about the fediverse or something? Idk.

Something something high seas something jellyfin

And how about if I decide to go out with my cousin this fall to hunt a few animals in the most painful and excruciating way possible, prolonging their death for the thrill of the hunt?

Have you tried Owncast for self-hosted FOSS fediverse streaming? You literally can’t get banned on it because you host your own stream, same with self-hosting a lemmy instance. Like, other streaming instances can defederate from you, but you can never be banned off your own stream.

Because of you I just had two slices of bacon and two eggs for breakfast, how does that make you feel? I’ve also got at least 15 chicken wings and drumsticks in my fridge and a couple racks of beef ribs, along with several wedges of hard and soft cow cheeses. How does that make you feel?

So what happens if on the off chance someone decides to use the government purchasing system for COTS purchases and convince the SCIF to use one of these HP printers, and then try printing TS//SCI or other highly classified national security documents on the printer? Asking for a friend.

Welcome aboard the lemmy train!

If you use sham referendums and Kremlin news sources as your basis for reality, why not move there? I’m sure Putin would welcome you with open arms!

One sentence: The presentation explores the enshittification of tech companies, outlines a three-step plan involving breaking up big tech, promoting interoperability, and restoring hacking rights, with the goal of creating a user-empowered, open internet.

Longer summary:

The user laments the current state of the internet, particularly focusing on Facebook as a case study. They discuss the stages of “enshittification,” where platforms start by benefiting users, then shift focus to business customers, and finally extract value for themselves, leading to platform decay. The user also explores the role of antitrust issues, lack of competition, and how big tech companies exploit low switching costs and impede adversarial interoperability. The talk emphasizes the need for policy changes to build a new, better internet.

The speaker elaborates on the concept of “enshittification,” where tech companies consolidate power, manipulate platforms, and resist competition. They propose a three-step plan to counter this: break up big tech companies, promote interoperability through laws like the Digital Markets Act, and restore the right to modify and hack services. The goal is to create a new, open internet that empowers users and prevents unchecked corporate influence. The speaker emphasizes the need for public support and involvement to shape a better future for technology.

Not forever - maybe - but until then, government employees trying to log onto government services like iFTDTL or NSIPS or half a dozen other sites, as well as students logging into their university email or corporate employees logging into enterprise networks are stuck on Google apps or Google-adjacent like Edge.

• School/university online classes and messaging/collaboration

• Business enterprise messaging/collaboration locked to Google services

• Business enterprise sites locked to Chromium based browsers

• Government sites locked to Chromium based browsers

Why not switch to Linux and FOSS alternatives?

With the post-scarcity caveat firmly in place, it would work great, actually.

That ratio says otherwise.

One Starbucks I went to in California wouldn’t, they were “fully cashless” and proud of it. I tried, they just wouldn’t accept it.

I learned last week that you can set up Thunderbird with Gmail and run it almost exactly like outlook, with rules and folders and all. Cut down about 3000+ emails I’d been too lazy to delete or sort on my own to zero with a few rules and folders. 10/10, highly recommend.
