TikTok gets special treatment. So does Netflix. Instagram. Even SeatGuru. Safari and Firefox both do this. Chrome doesn't. There's a reason for that...

Open post pascal guldener @zhksh@sigmoid.social · 46mo ago Replying to @epixoip@infosec.exchange @joe@appdot.net I don't like KeePass and I don't think it's a good solution for the average user. Sure, solid crypto, that's great. But it's obviously a password manager designed by crypto people and thus severely lacking in the UX department. A good password manager eliminates steps from your workflow and is transparent as possible. @epixoip@infosec.exchange @joe@appdot.net you dont like keepass because it doesnt fit average users needs or is there other reasons ?

Open post pascal guldener @zhksh@sigmoid.social · 9mo ago Replying to @xgranade@wandering.shop <p>I offer Cassandra's Complete Class Theorem¹.</p><p>All "good use cases for AI" break down into one of four categories:</p><p>I. Bad use case.<br />II. Good use case, but not something AI can do.<br />III. Good use case, but it's already been done without AI.<br />IV. Not AI in the LLMs and GANs sense, but in the sense of machine learning, statistical inference, or other similarly valid things AI boosters use to shield from critique.</p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/@xgranade/115766140296237983" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">wandering.shop/@xgranade/11576</span><span class="invisible">6140296237983</span></a></p><p>___<br />¹Not actually a theorem.</p> @xgranade@wandering.shop yes, ye golden days of statistical machine translation
