It doesn’t only cover 250k. There are different rates of coverage per account type, number of account holders, and bank. You can have millions of dollars covered by FDIC by moving portions of your money around to different accounts and different banks.

“Your dick, my knife”

I hope it all burns.

Are you saying for me? Cuz facebook sucks ass too.

I remember the old Internet. Honestly, lemmy is the only thing I’ve encountered that feels even like the newer part of the old Internet.

Lol, nothing like waiting until the last possible moment to do the tiniest thing that won’t even accomplish anything at this point and then writing an article about it.

I just tried that…went searching for a room and amongst some software package rooms the two I stumbled upon that made me nope the fuck out are “COVID-19 truth” or similar, and some pro-trump mafia thing that had the n-word in its description. I tried to search for something even in the state of california and the closest I got was a gay hookup channel.

Thanks, I fucking hate the Internet now.

Narrator: they ruined it

For now

every new tech has curves for their maturity, cultural & societal fit.

I’d believe this “nothing to see here” narrative if recent “advances” such as social media didn’t have measurable negative impacts. Things can get worse, and technology can assist that.

The voices coming out as skeptical of things, and the watchdogs telling you early on that these newly introduced things may present a problem are ultimately part of the apparatus that gets you “cultural and societal fit”. That doesn’t happen automatically and it’s called “the bleeding edge” for a reason.

Ultimately, I’m also not so sure about AI being a fad at this point. It sure looks like enough capital is invested in this stuff to make it be a thing even if nobody wants it.

It’s almost like they suck at making games now.

If history is any guide they’ll moan and complain, 2% of them will not buy the subscription, and then the other 98% will bend over and take it up the ass.

They’re pretty good at monopolizing markets and releasing rehashed garbage once they’ve done so.

I’ve heard the film is terrible which is more important.

Just because the technology is there and cheaper does not mean that humans can push aside their physiological limitations in a critical situation.

Have you considered the shareholders though?

The best businesses are rewarded with more money while poor businesses fail.

I know that’s probably a generic insult, but he kinda does look like beaker from the Muppets.

I setup 2FA on Facebook using one of those USB keys ages ago. I tried to login again recently but it tells me to use an authenticator app which I never configured, and when I try to use the USB key it blinks at me. I know the key works because I use it for other things. When I looked into logging in somehow else it brought up some crazy page telling me I’d have to send my license to Facebook or some such shit. Oh well, guess it’s a dead profile now.

Sounds low

It’s like they made a bot out of the subreddit confidently incorrect.
