One hundred billion dollars worth of GPUs (and all the RAM they can hoard) hard at work, ladies and gentlemen. Of course Slopya Nadella needs more data centers.

World News@beehaw.org•‘It’s surreal’: US sanctions lock International Criminal Court judge out of daily life
2·22 days agoSame. I had to disclose every single investment and bank account, payment apps, and loan for myself, my wife, and any dependents like children or aging parents. All to avoid even a possibility of something looking like a conflict of interest. In the meantime the fucking president of the country can hawk meme coins, and pardon actual convicted fraudsters. I asked about that on one of those zoom calls, but was ignored for some reason.

Comey likely can never face the same charges again.
As if it will stop these Nazis from drumming up some more bogus charges against him, or anyone else that dares challenge the orange führer.

Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Am I nuts to crack Capture One?English
4·2 months agoI’d avoid cracking software. Every crack you download carries a nom-zero risk of infecting your PC with malware. I get your reluctance to switching to a different editing software, but it may be worth it.
I must’ve tried every free and paid photo editor out there, and none have feature parity with Lightroom Classic or Capture One. The thing most of them are missing is AI based tools like object masking, etc. Luminar Neo comes close, but I feel it’s only a matter of time before they go sub-only too. There’s a new free one called RapidRAW that has pitential.

Technology@beehaw.org•Booking.com cancelled woman's $4K hotel reservation, then offered her same rooms for $17K
4·2 months agoThis is the way.
Same for airfare, car rentals, cruises, etc. Cut out the fucking middle man. The booking sites used to be a nice way for consolidating your travel plans. But as everything else, they’ve enshittified themselves to a point where using them has become a major gamble.
Use them to find a deal, then go directly to the source. You may pay slightly more, but the fewer agreements you have between you and the service provider, the less chance you have of getting fucked over.

Android@lemdro.id•Google reveals its Android for PC is coming next yearEnglish
6·4 months agoI’d argue that it hits gen pop even harder than it does us techies. How many times is a grandma going to switch video calling and messaging apps before her grandkids install WhatsApp on her phone? Is ANYONE going to touch any console Google releases in the future after the Stadia fiasco?
We techies are more open to trying out new technology, but for the other 99% of population though, tinkering is a nuisance rather than fun. They have better things to do than looking for ways to migrate their stuff out of the next Google project that’s being discontinued in 2 months.

Good news! With the rate corporations are laying off and firing workers, pretty soon they will have plenty of time for activism.
