I have it installed, but haven’t tried it since our instance launched! I should give it another try soon and see if they’ve implemented the admin frontend yet
it absolutely sucks to be forced to use and develop for Google software at work (seriously, what in the fuck is wrong with Google’s docs and APIs?)
if there’s a silver lining, it’s that being forced to be intimately familiar with google’s garbage for work has made me a lot more eager to eliminate as much of it from my personal life as I can
I have got to be honest, the justifications in the full post are half the reason why I’m sneering so hard. it’s possible I’ve got some anger left over from how much it fucking sucks to degoogle
true! I really need to squash the Lemmy bug that kills my session when I switch tab groups on mobile
it’s very inconvenient but I’ve managed to mostly de-google my couple of Android devices where practical — and there is a noticeable performance benefit to running without google play services, using Firefox, and installing simpler open source odroid apps instead of ad-filled play store ones, at least for the older tablets I recycle into purpose-specific computing devices
gruber, meanwhile, goes out of his way to replace safari with chrome on his Apple devices and then brags about being google-free on his blog
when you’re such a Daring Fireball that you continue to use all of google’s products even when good alternatives are available, but insist you’re making a point by boycotting google
I haven’t been bitten by Google killing an app or service since Google Reader, because I never again trusted them. I suppose this might be a lot more difficult for Android users, but I honestly don’t even remember the last time I added a new Google app or service to the set of tools I rely upon.
yeah he sure as fuck won’t be bitten by trusting anything Google made after Reader, like say their thermostats that are embedded into his house (which he says don’t count because ???)
also:
YouTube, Google Search, Gmail, Chrome
when your Google-free life includes all of their major products plus shit you can absolutely do without like Keep and Nest
also also, because I keep fucking looking at it and getting mad:
I suppose this might be a lot more difficult for Android users
imagine being this fucking shitty about having bought an iPhone and being above the age of 13
archive link since the baffler was so fond of telling me I had only 1 free article left, meaning refreshing the tab would most likely lock me out of reading the page
boy oh boy the IEEE has fallen pretty fucking far hasn’t it
Internet of Everything (IoE)
The IoE is more general than IoT and has the purpose to seamlessly connect in an intelligent way people, processes, data and things [27]. It is expected that the IoE will re- invent business processes and business models. First, processes are optimized and automatized thanks to digital technology. Second, due to the usage of digital technology, new business models in different industries become possible. For instance, Nike is now also entering the market of healthcare via the introduction of its smart cloths and shoes.
the IoE is defined as the internet of things but more so. fucking brilliant. I can’t wait to use digital technology in my industry. also I can’t wait for Nike to deny my insurance claim because my shoes decided I was too active to be sick.
The role of the blockchain in this domain will mainly be to make the decision process of the machine learning methods more understandable and coherent as all the underlying elements on which the decisions are made can be traced back.
something tells me the only reason this piece of shit was published was to reputation wash uncited claims like this one. this one specifically is a horseshit claim we’ve seen before, earlier in the generative AI hype cycle — it’s the nonsensical idea that a blockchain could somehow be used to add a verification and attribution layer to an LLM’s training data set
Unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV): UAVs or drones will also present an important part in 6G as high-data-rate wireless connectivity will be required. Here, blockchain can play a major role to contribute to the protection of the security and privacy of the drones and the thereby collected information [32]. Li et al. [33] also illustrate the significance of 5G in UAV context. IBM has even filed a blockchain patent to address drone fleet security.
There are several blockchain based application for drones. First of all, the blockchain technology can help to arrange identity management. Next, also air traffic management can be arranged in a secure, accurate and efficient way. Finally, insurance companies can use the stored records in case of events or disputes.
there’s a bunch of points in this document where the writing goes from the style of a confused undergrad assistant to what’s almost definitely an LLM fabricating shit. fucking behold: the blockchain will somehow secure the communication link with your UAV and authenticate it with air traffic control (what? also, these are things that existing cryptosystems are good at that blockchains specifically are fucking worthless for) and it’ll also help with your… drone insurance…?
all of this is almost certainly an LLM generating bullshit that sounds drone-related
finally, they didn’t even finish the conclusion paragraph:
An exponential growth of demand anticipated for the 6G telecommunication in the information era, by 2030. The role of blockchain to eliminate limitations foreseen with the future massive demands and the the contribution to escalate the service values in telecommunication identified in the paper. The future research directions also presented in the paper.
what do these words mean? is this what research is now?
the redditor urge to skim the thread title and post the first brain fart that enters their heads meets my urge to mash the ban button until it breaks
it is fucking hilarious that our guest poster’s brain processed this thread title and came up with “yeah man fuck writers” and posted that on this of all instances
0 for 2 on those dudesy lawsuits
wonder if any of those randos claiming the special was funny, the Carlin family signed off on it, and dudesy is playing 4D legal chess, will make an appearance in this thread now that the writing is on the wall
fuck almighty, it’s like the Kara Swisher manifesto in one compact quote
