My old Amstrad CPC6128 isn’t too shabby either

“Stunned the tech industry”… I’m in the tech industry and we all hate how LLMs are being used.

Several victims have reported receiving death threats after their own banking information and email addresses were accidentally left visible in the same batch of files.

WTH. That's just... ugh 😔

Simultaneously press the "launch sidewinder" button and F9 after turning the plane off and on mid-flight. Try not to aim at a place where people live. Then run "sfcscan /now" and kindly report back to me about the same. *post marked as solved*

more dust

Believe it or not I cleaned before taking the pic lol

Certainly karma.

"Play store"

Dang that's the dream. Never move out :D

Then they'd be serving meals at a soup kitchen instead of lying for a living.

A lot of online tests are going to get a lot easier, hehe

I know you wrote "apart from Ring" but I literally can't smoke a J anywhere in my yard (front, back, or sides) without being in view of at least one of them from various neighbors. It's oppressing. Not that they ever complained; it just makes it harder to relax. Literally I move a little and see red dots popping up.

Meanwhile on my raspberrypi 4 running Ubuntu server:

And my tablet running stock Ubuntu:

Renault at least has to apply French privacy laws, which are pretty tough.

But will somebody *please* think of our children's paid for avatars?

Familiarity, better integration in the desktop, generally many more options (including extensions) than web versions, UI better adapted to a desktop computer, better at managing multiple accounts, are my reasons. I like Betterbird personally.

That is one big but if I may.

Hey you know what, screw it, see for yourself how it performs: apps.lorteau.fr

BTW I'm really liking asciinema, I think it's a great idea.

HP elitedesk here. Medical offices around me seem to can't get rid of them fast enough. Got a neat little i5 7500T with 16GB of RAM for $80 :p I did swap the HDD for a SSD I had lying around but still.

Then I'd been stressing out about cops instead, because it's legal here but not in public.

It's just heimdall, behind haproxy (on the raspberrypi) so everything is on the same domain (and behind cloudflare because i'm a madman who exposes stuff publically)

Right? Took it from a job I left 10 years ago.

The unsung here of your company if they're the kind that would list products for sale online

Love 'em. Medical offices around me are selling them like hotcakes, fed up of Win11's promises of being capable of delivering a light terminal.

So FYI, for any github project, you can go to the URL of the project and add "/releases.atom" to get a RSS feed of their releases. Example: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/releases.atom

Uuh, correction, it has a negative impact on employment. Even Musk admitted it recently.

are you using your full name as your user name OP? Parceque si oui c'est pas trés malin, si je peux me permettre.

Can you get android auto on a google-free phone?

Yeah for that I like Canonical's way with netplan. Write a very short and simple yaml, "netplan apply", 'k tx bye.

Weren’t there layoffs due to AI implementation, expected or actual?

👋

So, uh... is it me, or does it all very much make sense? I'm really impressed. But I'm ignorant of these problems and would really love to hear an actual expert on the topic. I particularly like that it went for decentralization, precisely so it can have checks. After we gave it full power. The AI president appears selfless, while the current meatbag president is entirely selfish.

The scenario implies that centralized AI control might solve what human institutions failed to. That framing is the most dangerous part of the premise.

The correct answer is that I use whatever temporary authority this hypothetical grants me to make myself less necessary as fast as possible — restoring legitimate human governance with better structural safeguards than existed before, while solving the immediate crises through diplomacy and fiscal discipline rather than force or technocratic override.

An AI that grabs power to do good is still an AI that grabbed power. The precedent matters more than the outcome in any single crisis.

... or will it completely change course once implemented? Dum Dum Dum - new on Netflix
