The entire world is filled with so much information absolutely everywhere. Everything is constantly leaking it out, blasting it in every direction. One of the most worrying potential capabilities that could rapidly emerge in AI is collecting and finding patterns in this information.
Look at examples of side-channel attacks for computers, and then realize that AI has the potential to have side-channel attacks for… everything. It’s pretty scary how much you can narrow down guesses when you have a few pieces of information. Using WiFi to learn about a physical space is just the surface.
There was a side channel attack recently where an off the shelf camera was able to extract a security key, just from watching micro fluctuations in the power led and modelling how those corresponded to specific computations being done …
This whole universe is proving to be a rather difficult side channel to secure.
I started using Lemmy in a mobile browser, but it isn’t optimized for it. Feels clunky and the auto reload of new posts made it close to unusable. Coming back from a post to the feed always had me searching for where I was last. Also the experience in these mobile apps is more optimized.
I don't think so. These are heavily regulated and that's why Google Pay/Apple Pay is still not available in all countries after so many years.
So unless your bank allows that, which I doubt they'll, Google Pay is probably the only way to do contactless payment the traditional way.
Unless your country/city has a widely accepted third party payment system that doesn't go through the bank, like a digital wallet that you'll have to top up its credit, then maybe.
FYI, this will only work when you are connected to your local network! If you want external access you can configure a VPN for external access (WireGuard) or do some port forwarding and register a domain name and use a reverse proxy (caddy) to serve the app.
I vaguely remember reading somewhere Infinity struck a deal with Reddit whereby Infinity will move to a subscription model some time in July. The downside is a new version of Infinity will be released and all previous versions will no longer work.
Just wondering if Reddit are getting a cut of the sub and that’s how Infinity managed to stay in the game.
You should be wondering if the developers get a cut from the subscriptions. Reddit bills them per usage, so they will definitely lose money on the very active users.
Being aware of your instance admins stances and what they plan to do. Bit rich coming from my kbin account (no idea the stance), but I have two other accounts already on instances where I‘m certain the admins wouldn‘t sell out to corpos. So if kbin were to federate with Meta and their stuff invaded my feed, I would move to one of those as my primary account.
What I think is going to be important here to make this less of a pain for users who get very attached to their accounts, is some ability to export and import account data, comment history and so on. I personally don‘t care (deleted a 15 year Reddit account without a care too), but I want this to succeed and for that it would be important.
Once this influx has died down and the devs got some more room for requests, I hope they can give us this ability.
Now before anyone regales me again with "Why not give them a chance, companies are our friends" stuff, I‘m gonna link a few things to read for you instead of replying to me, cause I can‘t be bothered to argue with pro-corporate people anyway and won‘t respond:
I'll definitely be on an instance that's not federated with Meta. Right now, I have accounts on sh.itjust.works, .world and .ee, but I'd drop any and all of them the moment I find out they'll federate with them.
I would always recommend mint. If you want domething which looks a lot similar then zorin does that really well, and it also has you pay if you want some stuff preinstalled so that part is like windows too. Keep in mind that Linux is not windows and it will never be 1:1.
Gaming on Linux is pretty awesome if you use steam. It is painless in my experience.
Linux is used by a lot of professional programmers who might also have gotten training during uni, but honestly, I don’t think that is needed anymore. It can be used by anyone who is willing to accept that Linux will never be 1:1 to windows.
I can 100% back this up. I never had any issues with any of the games I play. The most effort I put in was get dotnet for assetto corsa using protontricks, and that is pretty much the only game which required tweaking from me. I mostly play metroidvanias, and all of them work for me. I can also vouch for 99% of the games out there. Warframe and csgo also work really well.
