TWeaK , to A Boring Dystopia in consider the implications for a post scarcity future

Negative prices are good for BESS. It also has no bearing on the consumption market, which is detached from the generation market (so they can charge consumers more).

TWeaK , to Privacy in Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service - gHacks Tech News

This article doesn't just summarise the discussion on Proton's blog post (which the article linked to), it's looking to spread the information and increase discussion of the issue, in particular in the community of users who regularly browse their site and comments sections.

Your comment is like complaining about reposts. Yes, in the worst cases reposts can be bad and disruptive, but more often than not it's just a genuine attempt to spread the content/story further and one that introduces it to more people than the original. This isn't one of those worst case examples.

Articles like this are at least better than Yahoo or MSN articles that literally just copy the text of other publications (although sometimes the source article is paywalled while the copy is not).

TWeaK , to Privacy in Proton Mail says that the new Outlook app for Windows is Microsoft's new data collection service - gHacks Tech News

You cannot use the new Outlook app without syncing these data with Microsoft's servers, i.e. your usernames and passwords are sent to the company's cloud servers. While the data is sent using TLS, the IMAP and SMTP username and password are sent to Microsoft in plain text. This could allow the company to access your emails, and share the data with third-parties.

Not only that, but sending usernames and passwords in plaintext allows for MITM attacks.

TWeaK , to Asklemmy in Why are tech company's so interested in my boring ass data?

Because the data is worth quite a bit of money - more than people realise, otherwise these companies would be paying us for it.

TWeaK , to politics in LA Times Column: How Jack Smith just called out Judge Aileen Cannon in the Trump classified records case

See now this is a good article about these legal proceedings. It actually explains the detail that isn't apparent to non-lawyers and gives an overview of the potential outcomes, rather than a retired lawyer just speculating and jerking themselves off over what might happen.

TWeaK , to politics in Biden's Meeting With Muslim Community Leaders on Gaza Was Disastrous

Only six invitees showed up

Ahmad said Biden’s opening remarks at the event did not mention Gaza, famine, or the potential invasion of Rafah.

The event was repurposed from a general celebration marking the end of Ramadan

This article is really trying to frame this as something more sinister than a publicity event being poorly attended and diverted off its intended course.

TWeaK , to The Onion in U.S. Warns A Gaza Ceasefire Would Only Benefit Humanity

6 months this Sunday.

TWeaK , to AntiTrumpAlliance in Donald Trump "on track" to be convicted this year—Legal analyst

More "predictions" from retired lawyers. May as well just be a blog post.

Wake me up when there's actual news, not just commentary fluff.

TWeaK , to BecomeMe in Outlook is Microsoft’s new data collection service | Proton

If we ever needed any doubt that the whole Office365 suite is spyware remember that they introduced a function that monitored your keyboard and mouse activity and then provided an "engagement score" to employers. They "shelved" that functionality.

Office365 costs $99 per year. They charge you for the software they use to steal your data.

TWeaK , to US News in Texas GOP meets group suggesting death penalty for women who seek abortions

I thought the GOP were against Sharia law?

TWeaK , to Lemmy.World Announcements in Recently posts that go against our ToS policies and ethics

I made a simple comment showing my support to the admin, which after this experience I'm sure is much needed. You've come in here behaving like an ass with zero effort yourself - you were wrong, my comments have had far more value to the discussion than anything you've brought. I don't think the problem is the platform, I think the problem is you.

TWeaK , to World News in Taliban edict to resume stoning women to death met with horror

Once Trump signed the surrender, and released Taliban fighters

Can you please point me to more info on these two points?

TWeaK , to politics in GOP Lawmaker Thinks He Exposed Busload of 'Illegals' … It Was the Gonzaga Basketball Team

If we're going to deport actual American citizens then Maddock should be right near the top of the list.

TWeaK , to retrocomputing in Got a new windows 98 gaming PC, and boi she's huge!!

True, but I think you can get some pretty decent high airflow 80mm fans these days.

TWeaK , to retrocomputing in Got a new windows 98 gaming PC, and boi she's huge!!

You could probably upgrade the fans.
