That wouldn’t necessarily be bash though
I mean a paint spray gun is basically that…
And yes
tempest@lemmy.cato Technology@beehaw.org•Apple opts everyone into having their Photos analyzed by AI12·4 months agoThey (and every other tech company) have been doing this type of thing for nearly 20 years. You might see some whinging about it in some corners of the Internet, like here, but most people don’t know or don’t give a shit.
It sucks.

They already do it with cars why not CPAP machines.
tempest@lemmy.cato Technology@lemmy.ml•Calls to boycott tech company Stripe after CEO posts about recent visit to Israel111·5 months agoLol yeah. Stripe is B2B and working with billing code is the worst trifecta of difficult, boring and very important. No company is swapping out for the Palestinians.

tempest@lemmy.cato Technology@beehaw.org•Google's reCAPTCHAv2 is just labor exploitation, boffins say • The Register7·10 months agoI mean that is true but there is some nuance.
At one time it was a cheap way to protect your site from drive by scripts and make your users help pay for that protection.
They still work in that way on say the comment section of a tiny WordPress blog because the cost to solve them isn’t worth what a random boner pill ad is worth.
The issue now (made worse recently by LLMs) is that more bots then ever are scraping any and every thing so people are putting captchas on every bit of every web app content they have. This increases the work of your users while it only slows down the bots. The hope is that the cost to solve is slightly higher than the value of the data.
