Why do we as a species hate teenage girls so much?

My take: business interests do not in the main care about Pride or DEI. They care about PR.

This could be the hack that ends all hacks--if it actually happened. Does anyone know more?

It's difficult to substantiate claims like this, but even the possibility is important to discuss. If anyone knows more please share that info if possible!

You're not hurting the authors/creators by using this--download and access fees for academic publications pay the publisher, not the researcher. If you're looking for an academic citation that's locked behind a paywall, give this a try.

The motives and politics are absolutely petty. The results are an ongoing nightmare.

Car dealerships in North America continue to wrestle with major disruptions that started last week with cyberattacks on a software company used widely in the auto retail sales sector.

CDK Global, a company that provides software for thousands of auto dealers in the U.S. and Canada, was hit by back-to-back cyberattacks Wednesday. That led to an outage that has continued to impact operations.

For prospective car buyers, that may mean delays at dealerships or vehicle orders written up by hand, with no immediate end in sight.

On Monday, Group 1 Automotive Inc., a $4 billion automotive retailers, said that it continued to use “alternative processes” to sell cars to its customers.

My thoughts on the #futureoftheinternet, #digitalfreedom, #freedomofinformation, and #accessibility--with some #FOSS and #anarchy thrown in, of course.

I absolutely welcome comments and feedback offered in good will from the informed minds gathered in this particular digital space #Lemmy #Fediverse #keepsmesane

This is a piece I wrote outlining some (mostly nontechnical) thoughts about the future of tech, the ongoing internet apocalypse, and of course how we can thrive in this digital wasteland. I welcome thoughts and comments of good will from people of good will. As this is a more-than-informed crowd, I figured I'd share it here and let y'all shred it first.

This is the energy we need going forward into the second half of the year.

" Five men were convicted by a federal jury in Las Vegas this week for their part in operating Jetflicks, which officials say was one of the largest illegal streaming services in the U.S.

Jetflicks, which charged $9.99 per month for the streaming service, generated millions of dollars in subscription revenue and caused “substantial harm to television program copyright owners,” the Justice Department said Thursday."

Turns out even the most "advanced" modes of plastics recycling are bullshit, just as 40+years of plastics recycling efforts before them.

Y'all might wanna start paying attention to our water systems and how incredibly vulnerable they are. Plan accordingly, as it ain't getting fixed soon!

I have a very difficult time imagining an internet that is both interoperable and ranking-free. Now, that having been said, we are well outside my area of expertise here so I'd love to hear from folks who know more than me.

School segregation got reinvented under many other names, including "redlining" and "public housing" and "urban renewal."

The folks in power have numerous strategies available to keep people in their place, as it were.

I can tell you that an average 2-bedroom apartment was about 600USD when I moved to the city I currenlty live in. Today the cheapest apartment in town is 1300USA/month and getting higher. If I hadn't been lucky enough to buy a house when I did, I couldn't afford to live anymore.
