I’ve managed webapps which rejected “René”. Heck, my deadname has a hyphen, which often is considered illegal

Is easier to not worry, until it’s too late

Wow, this new Pokémon Snap always offers some surprising shots.

Do you mean an infinite mirror, like this?

It’s not the socialists that take away from you. You sound like far away from India, so Indians are probably not taking away anything from you either. You can have all the bread and circuses if you are not oppressed by capitalism. In that case, you also don’t have to care about this stuff anymore.

Which app or website are you using to browse Lemmy? And do you see the animation in the comments to your post?

How are you reading Lemmy? A mobile app? Web app? Images don’t (always) come from a central source, but instead are hot linked, potentially from external sites which might block your request (e.g. due to bot checks) or which might’ve taken the image offline.

Are you sure this is a “warning”? /s

Sounds like an indicator of quality, instead. Even the icon is in red, the color of hope.

@dessalines@lemmy.ml being as sharp as always, thank you for sharing this! I somehow missed that essay in the past, and recently even had a discussion where I argued in favor of signal. His overview makes some great points that shouldn’t be dismissed offhandedly. The important point is to not make the mistake of shunning signal in favor of an even less secure alternative. Also the user’s threat model should be taken into account. Those who aren’t anticapitalists (yet) might need to worry less about the concerns.

Hmm, this is a topic that has been debated for years, I guess instead of writing my own summaries, it’s great to link you to some resources, outlining why modern AI (“LLM”/“GPT”) is controversial:

• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model#Safety
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Large_language_model#Societal_concerns
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ChatGPT#Limitations
• https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI_slop

Note that some issues apply only given certain output (e.g. hallucinations), some depend on the usage (the decision to generate and publicize AI slop is made by human operators), whereas some issues are always present (e.g. huge environmental impact).

Regarding the there being a difference between good and bad AI or not: Some people argue that it’s always bad, some are bit more nuanced, some are competely blind/ignorant to the problem. Only those in the middle camp would necessarily see a difference.

We shouldn’t go down without a fight, out plan A must be to prevent dystopia. And you are right that asking "what if"s can encourage a feeling of defeatism by distracting from plan A, however it’s generally not bad to think about a plan B ahead of time.

$200/card? What are those, legitimate western numbers?/s You can find “2TB” SD cards on AliExpress/etc for $3. Increasing the capacity to 1PT shouldn’t be much more than a minor change in the firmware.

Is this about The forbidden fourth leche?

Short answer: The automobile lobby prevents it.

You can expose your stuff to the internet, that’s not inherently frivolous, but it increases your attack surface. If you use cloudflared, you can tunnel it through cloudflared, which helps not publicly exposing your IP (but your services are still publicly exposed). You might be able to use cloudflared together with gluetun, but I prefer having the reverse proxy and cloudflared outside of the gluetun network.

I haven’t tried any out-of-the-box solution or setup script, so I can’t talk about them. if you go diy or want to edit any solution to have internet access exclusively over VPN (or not at all otherwise), I can recommend gluetun. Other than that, I just have a simple docker compose file and a reverse proxy. I recommend not exposing it to the www, but to keep it only accessible in your local network, or tailscale, if your use case allows it. Note: if you set up https, you might be leaking your subdomains in permanent certificate transparency records.

I can’t speak for myself, but I’ve seen some children/young teenagers with ADHD being already too focused on what’s next. Or they go to the toilet with a handheld gaming console or smartphone to begin with, and never diverted their attention except for the bare minimum required when going to the toilet.

I attune your family has human identifiable faces? Do you have a machine learning service container running? If so and if its enabled, it should just work. Otherwise, maybe try tweaking the parameters?

I haven’t tried it, but NTH on the SmartTube telegram chat recommended https://github.com/webosbrew/youtube-webos

I don’t use such terms, but I’ll try a possible explanation: There is indeed a certain tendency. Articles are mostly written by speakers of that language. For example English articles by English-spreading editors tend to be influenced by western ideology. If you’d look at, I dunno, Russian Wikipedia, I’d assume it’s a similar situation.

It’s known that there are indeed paid government agents editing Wikipedia. But even those that are not are influenced by the Zeitgeist, which itself is informed by state propaganda. So we don’t need to assume intentional malice.

Ideally, people complaining about Wikipedia would have the time and skill to improve it. But that’s easier said than done.
