  Obligatory Steam Deck runs Linux BTW.

  If BSD had a the same software license as Linux then I would celebrate it running on PlayStation hardware as users would be more free. Instead PS consoles are locked-down, preventing you running software unless daddy Sony says you can. It’s a battle between consumer rights, including software freedom.

  Yes / No

  Waiting on a software freedom-respecting headset.

  Does “relatively easy” mean in comparison to modern cars, and not easily repairable older cars? I don’t follow cars but if it’s anything like other tech then it’s soon to be crippled by part tying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Open source can refer to MIT licensed code/projects where it can be taken, modified and redistributed as proprietary software without giving back. You can’t contribute without wondering if you’re doing work for a mega corp.

  I would be temped to argue that doesn’t go far enough. If copyleft wasn’t circumvented by AI I’d argue for that.

  I started using tab groups when they released vertical tabs.

  Based on this patterns you have an idea, where you need to focus in the physical theory for understanding and optimizing it.

  How do you tell what the patterns are, or how to interpret them?

  EU have slapped their shit a few times but I suppose it’s their game to lose.

  Only when it’s accepted by the people. If law dismantled the company then it’s very bad for business.

  The shareholders should be ashamed… That’s not good business, that’s evil.

  Your toasters do it well? Mine required trial an error to determine what number it should be set to, and the result is uneven.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like how the cellular module is proprietary and locked down, even on something like a Librem phone. Or like how DVD players had use proprietary software to comply with DRM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Duckstation(one of the most popular PS1 Emulators) dev plans on eventually dropping Linux support due to Linux users, especially Arch Linux users.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “It’s impossible” is often used not to literally describe a logically impossible event but instead as an exaggeration. “I can’t possibly fathom why” is also not literal, it means under regular circumstances.

  I cannot imagine why anyone would prefer grass that cuts your skin over regular grass means for typical people using grass in typical garden/field situations. That could be someone’s person preference but that it’s not typical, it’s unexpected.

  There’s a GPL compliance lawsuit where they’re suing NOT as a copyright holder of contrubtor’s code but as a user of the software (a 3rd party beneficiary, under contract law). The GPL was intended to give standing to users of the software, so hopeful this makes presidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What is the incentive to do this sort of stuff?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An offsite server is not under your control and accessible by who knows. Surely it is still a privacy concern.

  Privacy is like security in that it costs time. Most people don’t spend time on even having a conversation like this but if something bothers you then finding a spare day is easier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are many other cameras but most have the same potential to do this sort of shit. Sending video to some server you don’t control, on cameras you don’t control because it’s proprietary, isn’t going to cut it if privacy is your goal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Ring Cashes in on Techno-Authoritarianism and Mass Surveillance⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who claim they don’t value privacy are simply ignorant of how this can affect them. They don’t consider the data falling into the wrong hands. Surely they don’t want criminals with unauthorized access at least. It should be obvious that governments don’t always have their best interests either.

  One master password to rule them all, One server to find them, One password to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.

  Yeah I use 2FA with the master notebook.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Password manager by Amazon⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve not found anything better. Storing on my computer, or worse someone else’s computer, doesn’t seem safe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Worse still it’s not even clear what is being discussed. It implied “violence” but that is a wide range from just pushing to serious shooting.

  % can also be misleading when a scale is arbitrary. A temperature increase measured in Fahrenheit will be a rather different % when converted to Kelvin.

  Headline should have been: pornsites gave no spunk. Screw the government, and just plug the whole country. Though we’ll no longer have easy access various VPNs will still allow us to reach around with IP protection, just like consuming BBC service without a license. Cum on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Judge dismisses authors' copyright lawsuit against Meta over AI training⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  “hallucination refers to the generation of plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or nonsensical information”

  Is an output an hallucination when the training data involved in the output included factually incorrect data? Suppose my input is “is the would flat” and then an LLM, allegedly, accurately generates a flat-eather’s writings saying it is.
