Oh no. Anyway.

It is somewhat ironic they’re showing a Mac in that shot… did Office even run on them at that stage of the game.

I mean… it’s hilarious that people still use Chrome when it has been a known back actor for years and years. Firefox is an excellent option and the more people that use it, the more it encourages companies to keep supporting open web standards.

Likewise, if you set an iPhone to use Advanced Data Protection, it’s probably quite a bit more secure from intrusion than a similar Android phone. (And definitely more secure from subpoena.)

Thank you. Glad to know I am not the only one that got triggered, lol.

Yep, when it’s all staged, you want your actors standing around on-stage not off-stage…

One thing I will say is here in the desert, we don’t actually want them either. Water is already an issue. Power costs are already an issue when you’re cooling your house all summer/heating it all winter. Data centers provide minimal jobs for the amount of resources they use in a community and the downsides have been discovered in a number of places around the country too (ranging from noise to increased costs to resource shortages). Keep your data centers off our cactii!

But unlike Google’s version, Claude can accidentally regurgitate the entire text or passages from it, yes?

So it’s not really internal and this judge is an imbecile, correct?

(I know that previous “AI” engines have been tricked into returning the original paintings and faces of people that they had ingested, so I assume this is also a possibility for this “AI” too.)

Oh no. Anyways…

I mean I’ve been using DuoLingo for like a decade (only paid the last 2 years) and it’s been very useful until now.

I’ll be looking for a new Spanish app when my subscription expires next year now, alas.

It is always hilarious and strange to see the buy-in on these things. We have a single coder in his late 60s that has bought in hard to spicy autocorrect. Meanwhile, the youngest on our team (like 22) won’t touch it with a 10 ft pole.

The other issue is just the morality of it. Do I know people that got rich on Bitcoin? Yes. Do I feel like they’re participating in a pyramid scheme still? Also yes. And with spicy autocorrect, where they got their training data for any and all of these models is so freaking morally bankrupt, and they’re desperate to paper over that and make it “ok” for businesses to use it.

Had to click through to change my downvote to an upvote, lol.

Literally all we need is everyone to kick in a couple bucks a month and I think everything would be in great shape. I think the user base is like 65k+ users currently?

It exists because too many idiots turn it on, forget about it and then drive along for another 5 miles signalling a turn they’re never going to make and confusing everyone around them. Personally, I’d much rather someone signal for “too short” an amount of time than have this happen.

And I think on some cars I’ve had in the past, it was only 2 times even.

Oh no. Anyway…

The answer it’s, they’re neither thing right now. And the claim has been made that in order to run your own instance that forwarded all traffic generated by the primary instance, you would need equivalent hardware to what BlueSky currently has. Vs Mastdon, which is…

• not commercially owned
• has a proven federation capability
• Running a pretty large number of instances right now

Yeah this seems like a weird use case for Mastodon to me too. Also, the entire point of Mastodon is that no one entity can control it all. Switching to BlueSky is basically just falling straight back into the trap where someone can buy it out and repurpose it as a disinformation machine again. I’m not saying ActivityPub is perfect, mind you. Just that it sucks less (for me) than the alternative.

It has always been listed on the box if there is support.

Say what, now? I have yet to run into a Linux site that casually lists what all hardware is compatible before you start trying to install stuff. The same with Windows, for that matter, although knowing Microsoft there may be a database squirreled away somewhere.

In some ways it’s just a technical difference (syncing vs backup “snapshots”). It’s totally true that if you throw away a file out of iCloud or OneDrive, there is (I believe) a window of opportunity to get it back out of the cloud.

But I also don’t think either let you get back a version from 3 weeks ago, for example, which is where versioned backups like Time Machine and File History come in.

Honestly, it is good to have both enabled for various reasons, not the least of which is just having a copy of your files offsite.
