This announcement would be a week after CryptOS imploded beautifully

jnk ,

are you that dense with jokes?

Problem is the training data might include “Do you know what google is, noob?”

“No, because *proceeds to explain the definition of a service problem *”

My guy if they export only some mangas and animes, much slower, and with lower quality than pirates, then shoot the characters with the american ray; why should i pay them instead of having a superior and closer to original experience?

I’m already paying for HDDs and other hardware for my home media library, I’d rather pay for a service and save my time, but they won’t do it right.

Counterpoint: If said community is about a certain type of software, decisions over the type of platform matter more than popularity within teenagers. Coherence is important.

jnk ,

The fuck are you high? Even microsoft, google, and meta support or have their own OSS projects. Apple just used someone else’s work as a base and doesn’t contribute to anything, what are you defending here?

jnk ,

Even for unexpected/accidental deaths, this has an easy fix: Put my bitwarden master password on my will.

jnk ,

I would 100% use this HPL-v2 for all of my (temporary) foss projects. It’s just genius. I mean, good luck keeping track of the current owner, Nintendo lawyers.

Imagine drinking american coffee over italian coffee 🤌🤌

jnk ,

The XZ topic was way more complicated than that and overly exaggerated by some people. Open source is still the closest thing we have to “safe by default”.

Still, as someone else stated, if you’re not hosting it’s not truly open source as you can’t really verify the actual code running behind the server.

I haven’t tried it myself (tho I’m planning to do so soon), but check Onju voice, it tries to do something kinda similar.

I hope someone tries do pull that on an echo dot. Good hardware, shit software.

Edit: Update with related links.

The Onju Github i forgot before, tho it’s linked in pcbway. It has instructions to set it up along with home assistant and even a matrix bridge.

Onju voice satellite is a different project using the same custom pcb. This one looks better integrated with home assistant and has an actual wakeword system (unlike og onju, which doesn’t have one by design). This one feels more like “better private alexa for home assistant”.

Bonus step) Call the cops over the previous cop’s mental health

/s

jnk , (edited )

The mere presence of a cop, even without a visible weapon, will escalate any situation regarding mentally unstable people. Period.

If you don’t understand why a person going through a crisis would freak out when a figure of (ultimately violent) power appears right after they picked a weapon you have a serious problem with basic empathy.

For the record, I haven’t had any bad experiences with cops, in fact every interaction I’ve had so far has been either neutral or actually pretty nice. I’ve had my fair share of breakdowns as a teenager tho, and I can assure you that a cop would’ve never helped a single time. Even the nicest one.

Toggling on data collection without informing the user would mean billions of dollars worth of fines in Europe, so I doubt that happens regularly.

More like a few thousand euros symbolic fine and an angry letter saying “don’t be an ass again pls our infrastructure depends on you” after years of blatant abuses and anti-consumer practices, followed by an ambiguous law (with positive effects affecting only european users) they will definitely not manage to circumvent withing the next week and a half. Not this time 🤡.

The problem here is the fact that most people just do not give a fuck about this; that’s why there’s no coverage in the (mainstream) media, why the only people who cares end up just leaving windows and why this kind of options are usually opt-out and they can actually afford to silently re-enable them cuz who’s gonna check anyways? Random people ranting on meme communities about my fancy malware?

jnk ,

Wait are you implying that regulating fire arms in USA would help to deal with human traffic and drugs from mexico?

I mean it makes sense, but doesn’t certain people hate mexicans and like guns a bit too much? Are they using their brains at all?

jnk ,

Everything is open source for this guy after using this simple trick. Big techs HATE him!

My god i shouldn’t have read the thread you crossposted from

Glorious ship btw

I really think jesus would’ve agreed tho. The guy didn’t discriminate even abolute assholes, why do you think tacos would be crossing the line?

If they require at least a 71yo, assuming the person started working at 16 and has dedicated their entire life to develop software without ever touching management positions, … At what age does people retire in that country??

jnk ,

Damn… I swear no one will ever see me again after my 65th birthday, I’ll be on the beach, probably knitting till I die

jnk ,

I have (too many) siblings both older and younger and, at least in my family’s experience, sometimes parents need to see this in action before realizing their behavior/parenting isn’t right.

Take my family as an example, I’ve been years when i was a teenager complaining about how they treated me and my nearest sisters, which failed miserably as they didn’t change and we ended up pretty fucked up mentally and one of them migrated and doesn’t want to come back even to the same country. Some years later, I tried basically parenting my 2 youngest brothers, but respecting certain topics where my (religious) parents are a bit too sensitive. The first one has been the most peaceful teenage man in our family by far, and my parents noticed how i was approaching him (something similar to OP, but pre-shut in? Basically tried giving him an ally when possible). They changed their ways only after seeing their previous failures and a more healthy result.

… Tho it’s worth nothing they have 1 child left to raise and most people doesn’t have enough kids to have a full damn hero’s journey about parenting lol

jnk ,

If you’re going through that route, SearX beats everything and it’s not even close. It’s self hosted and takes search results from any engine you check in a config, different config for search categories, … Rn I’m mostly getting results from brave, qwant, and duckduck. Gotta acknowledge the bing copilot tho, it’s pretty decent, but requires to use edge or bing app in android, so i only use it when I’m lazy or I’m searching for something too obscure for searx.

jnk ,

Doesn’t mean the statement is less true, the enshitification of google is a symptom, the disease is the internet as a whole. Google and LLMs screwing the web, M$ screwing windows, Apple’s existence by itself, Meta monopolizing and screwing social media, and don’t get me started with streaming platforms and other media industries are all symtoms.

Considering all of that, yes, the internet enshitification is very real.

jnk ,

Not true because we’re getting the same experience whether we pay or not. The same kinda goes for google, they have other services you could pay to support them (please don’t), and it won’t make the search engine better. Big difference is one of them is actually free (full meaning of the word) and the other one is just usable without paying.

You’re still using a free platform to say good free software is not a thing tho, kinda weird.

jnk ,

It would be interesting tho to use a LLM to spot AI/SEO crap and add whole domains to a search blacklist. In that case we wouldn’t need AI to do the actual search, and this could easily just be a database for end users by the SE’s side (kinda like explicit content filters).

I’d call that option “Bullspam filter” and leave it on “moderate” by default.

jnk ,

A version with different distros would be nice. I want to see blood here.

jnk ,

Same for plasma, global clipboard is just more convenient

Do you use the device you torrent on for personal things as well?

I’m just curious as I’ve permanently dedicated my laptop to torrenting. I’ve been too nervous to install anything but the VPN and Firefox on it. Now, I’m curious to mess around with Linux some more, which is what I use on it, but I can’t fully test out what all I can do with it without signing into accounts....

jnk ,

Who said anything about torrenting something illegal 👀

As far as I’m concerned, everything i discuss here is for educational purposes only and even if you share info about “your” setup, it’s just hypothetical. Not your fault if someone you totally don’t know has the same setup you described and uses it for illegal activities.

jnk ,

Tried a few of those once, only one worked and mfker installed itself in the next update. Uninstalling Windows was easy af tho.

jnk ,

That’s the thing, most desktop distros come with a web browser preinstalled, but:

  • It’s usually firefox or librewolf, which are objectively superior to edge in any scenario.
  • You can uninstall it right away with either a three word command or open a program with a big red “uninstall” button, no console needed.
  • Nothing breaks, the system literally doesn’t give a fuck if you even have a web browser at all.
  • If you want another browser then go for it! You can even use edge if you’re a psychopath. Your system wont judge you, but i might sorry-
  • It will never reinstall crap you uninstalled and set it the default on a random mandatory system update.
jnk ,

Agreed on that last part, making that the default would be a great solution. I could also use a signature in comments, like that guy who always puts the “Commercial AI thingy” but automatically.

jnk ,

Have you tried to read the fucking manual you filthy lazy fuck? Marked as solved. Is there anything else i can do to help you? 😊

jnk ,

The price difference is that google steals your data. That’s it. OpenAI steals data, ask for money to use most of their models, and buy even more data from other companies stealing user data (like google and SO). Also indexing web pages is not even the “stealing” part of google, it’s just not comparable.

Yes, training AI on user data for free then selling the end product is a reasonable thing to be concerned about. It’d be different if the product was free or the data was sold to them with user consent.

SO has announced a subscription-based service trained on user data for free, and not only there’s not even opt-out, they’re mass-banning users for trying to “opt-out” manually. Tell me one thing here that’s not completely fucked up.

jnk ,

That would mean there’s around 8000 people with your exact same name. That’s a lot of people

jnk ,

but being a nightcrawler for FreedomNewsTV doesn’t deserve the respect some of you seem to want to give her.

You mean like i would respect any fucking human being? Then screw her, a woman with a russian name and a camera is clearly not to be considered human, i would’ve shot her at first sight

/s in case is missed

jnk ,

Open Subtitles to the rescue

jnk ,

Wait does that mean we have multiversal networking?

… I don’t know how this is the first thing that went through my mind, but i bet there is a self-datintg app already. You can bonk me now.

jnk ,

Not me, but maybe “me” actually does idk

jnk ,

…Did you just speculated a terrifyingly credible AI-generated Microsoft ad disguised as genuine tech support?

Confusing realization hereIsn’t that like an AI ad about AI and ads?

jnk ,

Upvoted & i want to end my life now

jnk ,

Windows? Hardware testing? Testing in general? LMAOOO

jnk ,

Now I’m curious. How would a NasaOS look like? Would it even be good for general use? Would they just focus on optimization? Could they finally beat Hannah Montana linux, the superior OS?

[Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism?

Seen a lot of posts on Lemmy with vegan-adjacent sentiments but the comments are typically very critical of vegan ideas, even when they don’t come from vegans themselves. Why is this topic in particular so polarising on the internet? Especially since unlike politics for example, it seems like people don’t really get upset by...

jnk ,

I’m not against vegans, but where the hell did you read that meat is bad? You can have an opinion, but that’s just not a fact. Period.

If you go and tell people they are “weak” and they “100% just have cognitive dissonance” for not accepting a hot take as a fact, how do you expect anything but people confronting you? You can’t expect civilized discussions if you literally open by disrespecting the other party and dismissing anything they might argue ;-;

jnk , (edited )

I love how you just went “HAHA, CHECKMATE ANIMAL GENOCIDES” out of nowhere. This is why you get hate, you don’t know what a fact or a point is, and your ethics are weak. Just explain why a) you need to do diet gymnastics and take supplements to avoid animal products if they are so bad and b) are you implying every carnivore and omnivore animal is a monster?

As i said, you do you, but be coherent and respectful. I respect vegans, morons are harder.

Edit: I refuse to reply to someone unable to stop disrespecting others.

jnk ,

Thanks, this is what i was talking about. I think i eat a healthy amount of meat, mostly white ones because of health and because istg chickens in specific have no souls. Most argumens you used can actually be outweighed by “i just like meat a lot”, which is fine, but they are still relevant to choose what meat. I mean compare, in terms of ethics, health, sustainability, and even taste a McDonald’s and a halal butcher shop.

What i try to say is that respect is just as important, if not more, than ethics; and you need both along with a little bit of reading to get a balanced point of view.

…Biggest problem is I’m broke af and bad meat is cheaper than good meat and no meat, ethics are a luxury not everyone can afford 🥲

jnk ,

Nope, they said meat itself is bad, which is factually incorrect. The industry sucks in many ways tho, and not only to the environment lol

jnk ,

Either that or stop babysitting canonical and use debian instead
