How much effort installing an alternative OS is depends on which device and OS you choose.

E.g. installing GrapheneOS on a Pixel phone is a four button install process in your browser, it couldn’t be much easier.

(Finding and importing a phone is something you have to do even when using the stock OS.)

When people say europe they usually aren’t thinking of countries such as Russia, Turkey, or the UK.

I don’t see an issue in these two lines.

The only thing is that they are most likely not actually successive lines (because otherwise that code would be pretty weird).

I think that the point of the code is only to show the function names.

[Tips] Google Bard can now watch videos, give a summary, and answer questions about the video, including give the recipe. (lemmy.world)

Google Bard recently gained the ability to watch YouTube videos and then answer questions about the video. I asked it to watch a video from a maker who doesn’t share the recipes directly in the description (though he links to it), Joshua Wiseman, specifically the Popeyes Chicken Sandwich But Better video. I then asked Bard to...

lets assume they make $65 million in profit every quarter

Where do you get this number from?

Hasn’t Spotify been operating at a loss for most of its existence? Wouldn’t that mean they paid 0€ to its creators most quaters (if it was actually calculated off profit)?

One for communists is hardly any different [to one for nazis] as far as I’m concerned.

What do you expect to happen when you call a group of people “hardly any different [to nazis]”?

Communism does not advocate genocide any more than capitalism does. A capitalist society may commit genocide, a communist society may commit genocide. Neither are required to by their economic systems.

National socialism directly advocates for genocide.

It’s a ridiculous statement to compare communists to nazis and it’s not surprising that insulting communists like that will get you banned.

(Adding islamism to the comparison just makes the statement even more bizarre.)

Wait til you find out how many people were killed by capitalist governments

Because its both irrelevant to the topic (unless that’s the reason he was fired, which I doubt) and a mere allegation. Innocent until proven guilty.

I was raped

I believe you no doubt

I was falsely accused

Flat out do not believe you

I’m not sure if you care, but you are being very hypocritical.

crystal ,

I never said I believe them.

You either believe both the rape victim and the accusation victim, or you believe neither.

Only believing one of them is hypocritical.

I personally believe both of them to be some person on the internet who’s words do not matter. I do not consider either of the two claims to be worth listening to.

Innocent until proven. Always.

Are there any performance benchmarks for the Star64?

Pine64 claims the chip to have performance similar to certain Cortex-A55 processors, which would put the Star64 on par with the Raspberry 4 series. Is that true?

Television and magazines are far more general. Television as a medium could be compared to Web as a medium. YT could be compared to a specific TV channel.

it was always initiated by them

Did you mention this randomly or do you believe that you have less right to initiate that than they do?

crystal ,

I have no idea what you are trying to say.

Maybe read it again, in context, and decide if there are equal rights to initiate that particular interaction (no matter what the genders or sexualities involved are).

Are you saying that two people, no matter the genders or sexualities, never have the same right to initiate undressing in front of each other? What?

Then have a stern word with yourself about being so incredibly defensive that you end up portraying yourself as a sex pest.

Defensive? I’m neither a gay man nor a heterosexual woman. This doesn’t affect me at all.

The web installer is pretty simple.

It may seem intimidating because they’re being super cautious. (Stuff like “You should avoid using a USB hub” is bordering paranoia.) But that’s not because they need to be cautious. The GrapheneOS installer is very safe. The reason they’re being so cautious is because they want to be more than 99% sure it works.

If something goes wrong, like you use the wrong browser or fail to install the driver/package, it won’t break your phone; the install just stops and you can try again.

The one thing that may break something is if during install the cable gets disconnected or the power goes out. That’s unlikely by itself, but even if it does happen, you phone will most likely be fine.

The wording implies that the heads of big media groups being white has (significant) impact on “the media […] choosing ratings over democracy”.

Corporations choosing profits above moral considerations is a significant component of capitalism. If a CEO chooses moral over profits they’re a terrible CEO and will be replaced immediately.

So the author is taking a core component of capitalism (choosing profits over morals) and claims that it only exists because of the colour of skin of people in higher-up positions.

That’s racist.

They take something negative (choosing profits) and blame it on people with a certain attribute (white skin), while that attribute has nothing to do with the negative.

crystal ,

What’s the point of pointing out that a lot of media is controlled by white people?

“Haha random fun fact did you know that the CEO’s skin is pretty bright?” Why not talk about the CEO’s hair colour? Because the point is not a random fun fact, the point is racism.

morals are not incompatible with capitalism

I never claimed they were. You can limit capitalism by enforcing morals through laws. But that’s not a part of capitalism. It is a limit imposed on the natural imorality that comes with capitalism.

(By the way: I’m not anti capitalism, even if my tone may make it seem that way. I’m just focusing on this perhaps negative component of capitalism because it’s relevant to the topic.)

crystal ,

Pointing out racial disparities is not racism.

Depends on the context. Just like the “jewish-controlled media” (when talking about e.g. the new yorker) would have an implication, the “white-controlled media” has an implication, too.

This information can be presented independently, but you have to wonder why this disconnceted information is brought in multiple times in just the opening of the article.

a boogeyman, CRT!

I’m not American. Private slave ownership never existed in my country. (The term “race” when referring to a group of humans, however, is very ill-regarded.)

crystal ,

What do I have no personal experience with? Slavery? Or Americans? Or white-controlled media? Or racism?

What personal experience would you say I’d need so I could make the claim that “the jewish-controlled media is trying to sway people away from democracy” is a problematic statement?

(By the way good job moving away from the topic and moving to baseless attacks against me.)

Stanford researchers find Mastodon has a massive child abuse material problem (www.theverge.com)

Mastodon, an alternative social network to Twitter, has a serious problem with child sexual abuse material according to researchers from Stanford University. In just two days, researchers found over 100 instances of known CSAM across over 325,000 posts on Mastodon. The researchers found hundreds of posts containing CSAM related...

I don’t know how you get the impression that this increases censorship.

Instance admin already manually block content. And they are already able to do that to any extend they wish to do.

This tool would simply automate that process.

Admins would not gain or lose any ability to block content. Identifying child porn would simply be easier.

(Imagine an admin going to their database and doing a CTRL+F with the term “child porn”, and then going through the posts to find offending ones. But instead of CTRL+F it’s an AI.)

(For some reason I don’t get a notification when you answer my comment. Is that a known issue? Did you block me or something?)

crystal ,

You seem to be missing my point.

This tool would not increase censorship.

Admins are already able to implement all censorship they want.

Admins are already able to block left-wing opinions, right-wing opinions, child porn, normal porn.

And that already happens.

Lots of instances (like feddit.de) block pornographic content.

Lots of instances (like lemmy.blahaj.zone) block right-wing content.

It is already possible, and it is already happening.

An AI which can detect CSAM (and potentially other content) won’t change that. It will simply make the admins’ job easier.
