Actually, you’re right.

If we consider this normal, it would totally be acceptable for Europe to demand a ban or sale of American spying and propaganda tools social media and streaming platforms. Either way, it would reduce the harm they could do - and in the case of a sale, they’d actually have to adhere to consumer friendly laws.

So did this one, but if you include irrelevant details like that, the headline wouldn’t get as many clicks.

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Yeah, that’s what the headline says. In the article it states that it worked again after a service request and a (redidulously long) reboot.

@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Other people have already addressed the main issue here, so I think you’re sorted there.

But yeah, I consider “bricked” a permanent condition - something broken beyond repair, so it’s as useful as a brick. See also “paperweight”.

What do you think it means? Temporarily unavailable?

Paedophiles create nude AI images of children to extort from them, says charity | Internet safety | The Guardian (www.theguardian.com)

Internet Watch Foundation has found a manual on dark web encouraging criminals to use software tools that remove clothing. The manipulated image could then be used against the child to blackmail them into sending more graphic content, the IWF said.

Why lump the two groups together?

Because it’s very hard to make a “think of the children” argument out of this without doing so.

Any particular reason for this whataboutism that makes it stand out from the average website?

I have no need for this in my life, so I’m not sure about the specifics. But isn’t diaspora fediverse and supposed to be more like Facebook, rather than microblogging or lemmy?

Oof, that’s a tough one. Can he swim? Can I? What’s the water temperature?

Then those people might as well take an extra loan for 2500 a year. I’m not sure what the point is you’re trying to make here.

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Only if you’re a twitter user. Otherwise, that marketing budget will just be spent elsewhere.

Then again, why any user of this community would browse without an adblocker is beyond me.

Who would /buy/ this?

Have you heard of any companies in the past few years who are trying to mimic human speech? They need lots of example data to do that.

And what would they do with the knowledge that Fartknocker72 posted sonic slash fanfics?

While knowing that 1 specific person likes something is mostly irrelevant, once you link it to an email or real name (just wait for the next data beach), criminals could use that kinda data for blackmail.

Furthermore, companies like Facebook and Google mostly make their money by linking people’s behaviour to their interests. They probably won’t be caught with their hand in this cookie jar, but it should show you how valuable this data (in massive quantities) is.

Imagine people wanting to discuss their sex life or fetishes without having to worry what their boss or neighbour would think of it.

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

It’s not public data though. You need to agree to the ToS before you can get to it. Which clearly states that you cannot use it without permission.

But you’re moving goal posts here, so I think I’ll just ignore you from now on.

By now just paying for adblocking alone wouldn’t cut it, I have also grown accustomed to YouTube sponsorblock in my client.

It’s not just the ads either. Automatically skipping interaction reminders, zelf promotion and non-music parts is such an improved experience that it’s just too painful to go back.

Boston dynamics bots also make use of AI, or at least machine learning. I wouldn’t take that bet if I were you.

From the title, I was afraid this was going to be another backdoor.

It’s totally possible and probably not that hard

I’m guessing you never had to implement drm and caching on a large scale video cdn before.

You can use private browsing, that way you won’t get cooties.

There are several ways to go about it, like (in order of effectiveness): train your model from scratch, combine a couple of existing models, finetune an existing model with extra data you want it to specialise on, or just slap a system prompt on it. You generally do the last step at any rate, so it’s existence here doesn’t proof the absence of any other steps. (on the other hand, given how readily it disregards these instructions, it does seem likely).

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

One way it can be useful is when you use it as a more verbal variant of rubber duck debugging. You’ll need to state the issue that you’re facing, including the context and edge cases. In doing so, the problem will also become more clear to you yourself.

Contrary to a rubber duck, it can then actually suggest some approach vectors, which you can then dismiss or investigate further.

That was my experience as well with GPT 3.5. But the hit ratio is a lot better with GPT 4, and other models like Mixtral and its derivatives.

FYI: Blue checkmarks were a thing LONG before paying for blue checkmarks was a thing. In the end, I think most people who are making an issue out of this aren’t even twitter users (let alone checkmark users) themselves.

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Yeah! Like, just because you make something, doesn’t mean you get to decide what to do with it.

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

No, of course not.

If I commission an artist to make me a painting, and I then decide to throw it in a storage bin (or the trash) rather than put it in a gallery - that’s my decision. Neither the artist or the general public gets a say in it. Claiming otherwise (especially in case of the public) is pure entitlement.

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

I wonder to what degree that would still apply when it’s their work (say, a photo) being used by others in any way they see fit.

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Agreed, those are pretty permissive licenses (though not completely free), but they’re still licenses that you deliberately choose, not ones that were forced upon you.

World’s biggest backdoor

Puh-lease. At least Heartbleed made it into production at enormous scale.

I stand corrected.

Dell is so frustrating

Dell has got to be one of the most frustrating companies that put out a linux laptop. They put out a laptop certified for ubuntu but then never support newer releases. A big part of their hardware is always proprietary drivers like webcam, fingerprint reader etc… Then you update to a new LTS release because lets be serious...

If you’re in the EU, I can heartily recommend Tuxedo computers. Specifically targeted towards Linux use.

In this thread: People (pretending to be?) incredibly unaware of what incognito browsing is.

Newsflash: It just means your activities are not locally logged. That doesn’t mean it’s impossible for online parties to track you, just a teensie bit harder. Hell, it literally says so when you open the incognito tab.

@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

As if anybody’s going to read the legalese.

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

Enshittification isn’t illegal though. And making it illegal sounds pretty draconian and anti liberal to me.

I, for one, will never pay for discord, and if the communities I do use it for decide to move elsewhere, I’ll happily move over.

admin ,
@admin@lemmy.my-box.dev avatar

But you don’t regulate the turning-to-shit part.

Yups, that’s what I was getting at. There can be very good reasons to do things that are impopular with end users.

At the same time, without reddit turning to shit, Lemmy wouldn’t have thrived the way it is now. Change is part of life, as is platforms turning to shit. You move over and learn to deal with it. You might be able to nudge it in the right direction, but in the end, corporations gonna corporate.

I was getting “suggestions” to install apps for streaming platforms like Disney or hbo which I had to scroll past before I could start the apps I installed myself.

I don’t recall. Not gonna lie, it’s not as slick looking as the stock one, or as regular android launchers can be, but it’s functional.

Edit: It’s called Projectivy Launcher.
