- Comment on Homarr - A modern and easy to use dashboard. 30+ integrations. 10K+ icons built in. Authentication out of the box. No YAML, drag and drop configuration. 6 days ago:
I wish we would all start switching over to JSON for configuration files. It’s so much easier to parse, and you can’t screw it up with too many spaces or not enough.
- Comment on "I support it only if it's open source" should be a more common viewpoint 1 week ago:
You are allowed to charge money for open source.
Its the recipe that makes the food you’re eating that would need to be publicly available and free to redistribute.

Why are we not calling the CEOs and other MBA/c-suite goblins directly?
- Comment on Tea app leak worsens with second database exposing user chats 2 weeks ago:
This is some Grade-A whataboutism right here.
Of COURSE the people in that group chat deserve punishment, and probably the same 20 years that French(?) guy got depending on who all did what.
Just because that happened though doesn’t excuse that this happened. The company did a horrendous thing by holding onto highly sensitive and private data it said it should have deleted, AND the userbase was absolutely vile and abusive towards men.
All three things need to see justice brought to them, and you should not excuse one just because another happened and wasn’t dealt with properly.
- Comment on Tea app leak worsens with second database exposing user chats 3 weeks ago:
Both the company, for failing to protect its users; and a large majority of its users, for doxxing and libel.
- Comment on AdGuard is yet another app to block Windows Recall 3 weeks ago:
It doesn’t mean you don’t get those things, it just means that you don’t use them via a control panel.
There are a few solutions for shadowplay that are all decent to excellent, rtx HDR I think is automatic in Proton? Not sure what you mean by game filters unless you’re talking about reshade, and I wasn’t aware there was a video upscaler in Firefox.
- Comment on AdGuard is yet another app to block Windows Recall 3 weeks ago:
Linux has HDR support now, and there are slightly more configuration options for it than in Windows under KDE Plasma. These are very recent developments.

Isn’t this the plot of Pantheon?
- Comment on Women’s ‘red flag’ app Tea is a privacy nightmare 3 weeks ago:
We didn’t like it when Mark did it, why would we like it now?
- Comment on Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded 3 weeks ago:
Oh I most certainly cared back then, just felt like nobody wanted to listen to me. Full Linux, grapheneos stack with no google play services, no Microsoft, nearly free of google (replacing gmail is going to be a monumental task, but it’s my last one).
- Comment on Microsoft admits it would have to let Trump spy on EU data if demanded 3 weeks ago:
Listen, I’m extremely anti-trump but the guy has a point. Evil things can be evil regardless of who is in charge, but we only seem to care when the narrative shifts in certain directions. Why didn’t we care about this back then?
- Comment on Women are anonymously spilling tea about men in their cities on viral app 3 weeks ago:
The treaties and international laws between these countries absolutely allow the EU to enforce GDPR against companies and individuals outside of the EU if it involves an EU citizen as the victim. I know this because I have to work with it every day and I’m from the US.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 3 weeks ago:
I don’t agree with the practice but I do see the point - it reduces anxiety and gives your partner a sense that you’re okay for relationships where trust is strong. For toxic relationships this should absolutely not be a thing.
As far as governments or companies selling the data… You can use some self-hosted services on a de-googled GrapheneOS or LineageOS install and use sattelite location only. Then, pipe that to a self hosted solution that doesn’t sell your data like homeassistant or whatever.

Support devices like the Liberux Nexx or the pinephone, especially if you are a developer!

Pot, meet kettle.

Movies already have ratings systems and age checks.
Lol.
Books at book stores don’t generally have graphic violence and gore.
You realize words still count right?
The bible is just text, there’s no gore or violence that kids can see.
I repeat the above.

Movies, books, and video games all have a decently sizeable amount, yea. Especially the Bible.

You want abliterated models, not distilled.

I can’t believe I forgot about this greentext. I knew it but didn’t catch it… I apologize

There’s a “your mom” joke here but I’m not going to make it because you don’t deserve that.

That exists, its called GPT4chan, and it went exactly like you’d expect.
- Comment on OpenAI sees human interaction as a competitor to ChatGPT's super assistant ambitions 2 months ago:
What I am telling you is that while that sounds like an amazing idea in theory, in practice almost no stores offer it. How can we do that if its not even an option? I have literally never seen it done anywhere here or in any of the other places I’ve traveled to (I’ve been to about 5 different states this year alone).
- Comment on OpenAI sees human interaction as a competitor to ChatGPT's super assistant ambitions 2 months ago:
Most stores dont let you take the hand scanner, and it would consume that kiosk the entire time you’re shopping.
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 2 months ago:
Its just whatever is built into copilot.
You can do a quick and dirty test by opening copilot chat and asking it something like “outline the vulnerabilities found in the following code, with the vulnerabilities listed underneath it. Outline any other issues you notice that are not listed here.” and then paste the code and the discovered vulns.
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 2 months ago:
That seems to be the direction the industry is headed in. GHAzDO and competitors all seem to be converging on using AI as a force-multiplier on top of the existing solutions, and it works surprisingly well.
- Comment on Do you actually audit open source projects you download? 2 months ago:
Having actually worked with AI in this context alongside github/azure devops advanced security, I can tell you that this is wrong. As much as we hate the AI, and as much as people like to (validly) point out issues with hallucinations, overall it’s been very on-point.
- Comment on Japan moves to ban Google, Apple from blocking app store competitors 3 months ago:
Japan is permanently in the '90s (and I love it).
- Comment on Nextcloud cries foul over Google Play Store app rejection 3 months ago:
This is 100% untrue and you are making shit up.
- Comment on A Judge Accepted AI Video Testimony From a Dead Man 3 months ago:
Agreed. Until we get full, 100% complete UIs like in Pantheon, this is just Photoshop and a voice synthesizer on crack (not literally, this is an analogy).
