52fighters@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Is Google about to destroy the web?English6·2 days agoMost of the businesses other than gas stations and restaurants are missing or have very outdated information.
52fighters@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban SmartphonesEnglish1·2 days agoDone. What’s next on my list?
52fighters@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•For All That Is Good About Humankind, Ban SmartphonesEnglish9·2 days agoDo it anyway. I use adb to modify my phone and make it suck less. I also look forward to the day (if it ever comes) where Linux phones are a viable replacement option.
52fighters@lemmy.sdf.orgto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Peak American design: a vehicle that is 6 meters long, weighs over 4 tonnes, and can only carry six or seven people (but will usually carry one person most of the time.)English11·2 days agoEven when a car is needed, I just want to get from A to B safely and inexpensively. The only “perk” I would care about is seats that don’t suck for long trips. And I guarantee my back would hate the seats in this vehicle. I give it 0 stars.
52fighters@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Is Google about to destroy the web?English102·2 days agoWe have good options to replace Google Search. What good options exist to replace search on Google Maps?
Edit: Also, I think they make most of their money off of ad-sense adds embedded in apps and websites. It’ll be very difficult to weed all those out. I just use uBlock on Firefox and Blockada on Android.
52fighters@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Cancers can be detected in bloodstream three years prior to diagnosisEnglish102·2 days agoCan someone clarify which blood test was used? I want to get tested every two years.
52fighters@lemmy.sdf.orgto World News@lemmy.world•Israel strikes Iran, no US involvement, US officials sayEnglish1·3 days agoPresumably it is to discourage Iran from attacking US assets in the region, knowing that the US have weapons that they can use to counter-attack. Any counter-attack needs to be against Israel alone, not the US. That’s what the US wants.
52fighters@lemmy.sdf.orgto Technology@lemmy.world•Twenty-seven states and DC sue 23andMe to oppose the sale of DNA data from its customers without their direct consentEnglish0·5 days agoThe sale is the entire company and assets to Regeneron Pharmaceuticals.
NPR reported in this issue:
Regeneron Pharmaceuticals said last month it aimed to buy the company for $256 million. Regeneron said it would comply with 23andMe’s privacy policies and applicable law. It said it would process all customer personal data in accordance with the consents, privacy policies and statements, terms of service, and notices currently in effect and have security controls in place designed to protect such data.
I don’t know much about Regeneron Pharmaceuticals but previously I read from others here that they represent the best case scenario.
I’m lucky to live walking distance to work. 99.995% of my city doesn’t have that option and must rely on a car. My city spends almost nothing in public transit but spends a lot on roads and other car subsidies.
