Ukraine@lemmy.world•Elon Musk Admits SpaceX Purposely Restricted Ukraine’s Starlink Access in War With Russia: ‘That Loophole Was Closed’English
3·19 hours agoI’d like to know when the feature to cut service based on speed was released.
Musk’s comment is that it was a deliberate choice to interfere with Ukraine’s operations (and not for the first time). So was there previously a valid business case to constrain usage in this way, or is this just a tyrant misappropriating company resources?

Technology@lemmy.world•Only 13% of companies see real returns from AI, survey findsEnglish
1·2 days agoYeah, the ‘just following orders’ brigade. Also, C is for Charlatan, it was decided, by them, through their ineptitude.
Depends on the company and its culture. Sometimes they’re the worst, others they’re quite good.
Size can be a factor (easier to hide in a larger crowd), but any size group can allow itself to be led by feckless fecking fecks if they don’t push back.

Technology@lemmy.world•Only 13% of companies see real returns from AI, survey findsEnglish
321·3 days agoLeaving aside the whole circle jerkular economics of AI, the pattern in tech companies has been:
- devs start using AI
- middle mgmt says cool but watch the security
- CEO says increase productivity, reduce labor!
- middle mgmt says but the cost, and competence…
- HR cuts 10% here, 15% there, finance says spreadsheet happy
- delivery suffers, quality suffers
- AI cost skyrockets
- middle mgmt says ayyy no bueno
- CEO still doesn’t understand what AI is, says more more more
- some AI generated script deletes PROD
- there’s no backup, no recovery
- costs are higher than ever, product is worth less than ever, and there’s no ‘company’ because there’s no team
Can we make the CEO role redundant already? ‘One boss to rule them all’ is the fastest way into the fires of mount doom. Stupid fucks…
Where are all those agile loraxes now? Why didn’t we listen to them about sustainable operations?

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•"Collision" is too harsh a term, let's call it "passing too close"English

Man could die in prison, or behind the wheel again casually driving in a bike lane (or the ‘close passing lane’ as they call it in Cherokee county)…

Let’s say it again:
📣 The diesel that Trump bought from Russia is diesel that Russia bought from Iran. $6.4B of US taxpayer money to fund two enemies killing our guys.
To anyone who still supports this guy: Come on… He’s screwing you, stabbing friends in the back, stealing as much as he can for himself. Are you done yet?

Political Memes@lemmy.world•What's the difference? Hundreds of millions in political spending?English
2·15 days agoWell, MTG showed (on the House floor, crass) that one of them carries around a sizeable trouser snake. Meanwhile, the other guy habitually offers sperm donations like the clinic is their only way out 🤨💉 What could it mean…

For any Americans who are not aware, Russia doesn’t want to help you in any way.
How does the largest country in the world have a GDP less than half of just California’s? Because they’re run by people who don’t create, they just endlessly kill and steal to enrich themselves.
It would be great if Russians were free of this brainwashing mafia that pins them against the world. It would be great for all people to live in peace. But, until we figure out how to keep power out of evil hands, we’re all just trapped in a cage with armed psychopaths.

There’s a quote from HBO’s Chernobyl series:
All these fucking guys who’ve made monsters of themselves to pretend they’re our masters - they’ll all fail. Their lies are a patchwork of tapestries meant to hide from reality. The bigger it gets, the more it wants to fall. Pull a thread, watch it unravel.
