“Hey ChatGPT, how many human corpses can 12 pigs who haven’t been fed in a week process”?
- Comment on Why cool air is becoming a luxury many Americans can't afford 2 days ago:
Never had AC in my four decades of life, never been able to afford it.
- Comment on Spotifies come and Spotifies go, but that folder of badly-sorted MP3s will still be there in the 2050s. 3 days ago:
Yeah, that’s what I thought too, until that drive failed during a system upgrade. I’m not ripping 300+ CD’s AGAIN. Youtube it is.
- Comment on YouTube secretly used AI to edit people's videos. The results could bend reality 4 days ago:
It would make sense if it’s a scheme to inject ads directly into the stream so adblockers wouldn’t work anymore.
- Comment on Stop children using VPNs to watch porn, ministers told 4 days ago:
The people pulling the strings have obviously decided that internet freedom is a threat to them and they’re taking (global) action to ensure their supremacy.

That’s a dinosaur.

A philosophy degree might actually stand out more in today’s job market than a CS one.
- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 1 week ago:
Lemmy isn’t monolithic. They’d have to hit every instance separately. The big ones like lemmy.world are a prime target though.
- Comment on Reddit is using AI to determine users beliefs, values, stances and more based on their activity (posts and comments) summarizing it to Subreddit Mods. 1 week ago:
I doubt it, since all it ostensibly does is summarize info the user has released freely. How that info is stored and retained exactly might be up for debate though.

*Have been made long ago and are being constantly updated.
Snowden already warned us about this over a DECADE ago. Their scopes and powers will have increased exponentially. I guarantee there’s a type of system in place that flags people before they do anything, just on pattern recognition alone. Of course, they can’t use that system as a legal basis for anything, so they don’t and use parallel constructions instead.
Anyone who thinks “this is coming” hasn’t been paying attention. We’re already there and beyond.

Thank god they can’t do shit to TPB and its ilk since those are already illegal anyway.
- Comment on Chrome VPN Extension With 100k Installs Screenshots All Sites Users Visit 1 week ago:
- People who value their privacy (or “have something to hide”) have a need of a service that provides anonymity
- This turns said service in the ideal place to start any and all surveillance because your subjects have already self-selected for being “interesting” (especially if you intend to go after low hanging fruit)
- Therefore I must conclude that people using VPNs and TOR, no matter how legitimate their reasons, are in fact advertising that they have something to hide which current status quo is very interested in knowing…

Be glad he didn’t fuck you and beat your mom.
- Comment on Is the amount of Lemmy activity declining? 1 week ago:
Same. I feel like Lemmy is really a lot like early Reddit (pre 2012) and the sizes of the communities are perfect. You can actually contribute to a discussion instead of drowning in 20k inane joke posts.
Some niches remain underpopulated but I feel like this will eventually rectify itself as the more critical and thoughtful people move away from vapid platforms like Reddit, FB or IG. We’ll continue to welcome them with open arms.
- Comment on Empty homes are on the rise. So why aren't they being used to solve the housing shortage? 1 week ago:
Sorta. It’s being somewhat selectively enforced. Certain people always seem to be able to skirt the rules without consequences.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I do enjoy possession and full function of my prepuce, thank you very much.
- Comment on Empty homes are on the rise. So why aren't they being used to solve the housing shortage? 1 week ago:
Here in Belgium you pay an extra tax on unoccupied homes. Unless you can prove you’re working on getting it up to standards, but there are hard time limits on those permits.
- Comment on Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 1 week ago:
Hmm, mine uninstalled without issue but I haven’t yet fully rebooted. Might still get an error at that point. Fingers crossed.
- Comment on Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 1 week ago:
I am using three drives on that list. Uninstalled KB5063878 and blocked updates for over a month.
- Comment on Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton Investigates Meta and Character.AI for Misleading Children with Deceptive AI-Generated Mental Health Services 1 week ago:
Paxton is like a can of RAID; toxic AF but occasionally useful against dirty roaches.
- Comment on Codeberg: army of AI crawlers are extremely slowing us; AI crawlers learned how to solve the Anubis challenges. 1 week ago:
Eventually we’ll have “defensive” and “offensive” llm’s managing all kinds of electronic warfare automatically, effectively nullifying each other.
- Comment on Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' 1 week ago:
Meh. Paypal deserves everything bad that happens to it. Barely used it in the last few years. Definitely do NOT keep funds on there unless you’re okay with just losing them.
- Comment on Worst part about living in Europe 2 weeks ago:
They do, they get very slick in some conditions. In winter/freezing conditions it’s an outright hazard. But there really aren’t that many such streets left, and the few that are are slowly being changed to asphalt too.

Well, who else knows more about bias?
- Comment on Meta’s AI rules have let bots hold ‘sensual’ chats with kids, offer false medical info 2 weeks ago:
🤢
- Comment on Where has the tax money "saved" in uk austerity gone? 2 weeks ago:
Most of the politicians in power over the last decade or so made their friends in private business incredibly rich. Just think of the millions of pounds spent on covid masks that were either not delivered at all or were of such poor quality that they wouldn’t offer any protection. No one went to jail for that, but plenty of MP’s got paid I’m willing to bet.
- Comment on Dogs need love too 2 weeks ago:
Am I the only one who takes some issue with tokers being portrayed as divorced from reality? You’re a lot more likely to do those kinds of things under the influence of alcohol than thc.

A major betrayal? So a tuesday.
- Comment on Rockstar Games Working Closely With Remedy Entertainment on Max Payne 1 & 2 Remake 2 weeks ago:
I just hope the price point is reasonable. I think 30 for the original RDR remake is steep.
