  I can’t say that’s surprising but I have only heard of smart TVs having been confirmed to do that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are people disconnecting or destroying their Ring cameras?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Theoretically they wouldn’t have internet access if a previous occupant set them up unless one of your neighbors has an unsecured AP. Or maybe I’m misunderstanding you and you’re saying you set them up on your wireless network after you moved in. Still a good move to get rid of them but I wouldn’t be as concerned about them if the only AP they were set up to use was no longer present.

  Ah fair enough. Thanks for the clarification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What launcher should I replace Nova with?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  No SMS or MMS either?

  Have you had issues receiving group messages on e/OS? RCS is borked but I figured that would be the case. Not getting group texts is a problem though and I’ve tried every solution I can find but nothing seems to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨BASED?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  To be fair, parenting is a pretty shitty gig. Expectations are high and support is low. People judge everything you do, especially those who have never done it themselves. Even with good kids its a thankless slog most of the time. God help you if you get a hard one.

  I think that any solution in the form of a formal government regulation will be subject to that kind of corruption, and real solutions need to be found elsewhere.

  I think that’s a fair statement as it relates to the current US government but I don’t think that’s a valid general philosophy. I agree that our current priority should certainly be to implement a government that can be trusted to regulate things effectively. If that isn’t taken care of first then the rest doesn’t matter. As evidenced by, well, everything happening right now haha. Still, the ultimate goal should be government action on this topic because we cannot solve the problem at an individual level. Some people can have better outcomes than others but there’s no level playing field without government intervention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK TikTok Is Harming Children at an Industrial Scale. We know this because we obtained messages from TikTok engineers and executives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Its perfectly relevant to my point, which is that the government is already involved in the sort of behavior we’re discussing. If we accept that preventing societal damage, or promoting social well being, or whatever else you want to call it, is a part of what the government exists to do, then why would something like preventing mega corporations from ruining the development of children fall outside its purview?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK TikTok Is Harming Children at an Industrial Scale. We know this because we obtained messages from TikTok engineers and executives⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I notice you left education off that list

  How is this argument different from “it’s not the governments job to provide healthcare / education / social services”

  I don’t mean to sound callous but if some relatively minor RCS issues, and there’s really no way they could be classified as major, stopped your friend from doing what he set out to do then he wasn’t all that invested in the idea.

  I’m not saying there’s no problems with GrapheneOS or any other product helping consumers to change their habits but if you really care about issues like corporate overreach then a little inconvenience isn’t a deal breaker. In fact, it’s to be expected when switching away from mega corporations. They invest tons of money to make their user experience decent so that they can profit off of your data. If you want to get away from that you have to accept the fact that you’re moving away from a product supported by thousands of engineers with billions of dollars to spend towards a product developed by tens of engineers or less with very limited funding. Those developers do a damn good job IMO but a dip in ease-of-use has to be expected.

  At the end of the day we all have to decide if we’re going to prioritize convenience or mindfulness. It sounds like your friend made his choice, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with the choice he made, I just think it’s important to put it in the proper perspective.

  The point is that you don’t casually go about your routine during a civil war

  IIRC they moved Ross out of state. So yes, he’s not in jail but he’s not exactly lounging at home either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think IT guy, or at least the equivalent people in my life, would be supportive to the point that they would actively involve themselves in a shooting war in support of Trump, which is what this hypothetical scenario would turn into.

  If there’s one thing I’ve learned about conservatives it’s that they will start to pay attention once something impacts them personally. They are fine with the lies when it’s about some abstract person some other place but when it involves someone they know or happens in their town they will change their tune quickly. Of course not all of them but enough to matter. These kinds of people prioritize familiarity and perceived stability over just about anything else. As long as things are stable enough that they can maintain most of their routines they won’t think too deeply about anything. This kind of event, and the ensuing chaos, would force them to take a deeper look at things in a way that they’re currently too comfortable to be forced to confront.

  You are being lazy. If “I have to learn how to do this” is too high of a bar to clear for you then maybe you’re just not supposed to do that thing. Setting up a self hosted environment is pointless if you don’t know at the least the basics about how it works. It will break sooner or later and if you just typed whatever random characters your computer told you then you’ll never be able to fix it. You won’t even be able to describe to ChatGPT what the problem is.

  AI is making learning harder, not easier. It’s flooding the internet with bullshit and you’re acting like that’s a good thing. When you’re learning something new you need to know that your teacher knows what they’re doing. An AI summary might be pulled from a network engineers blog or it might be the sanitized ramblings of a schizophrenic pedophile who tries to host CSM on his smart toaster. As a beginner, you can’t tell the difference, especially when an AI rewrites the crazy and presents it in an authoritative manner.

  Yes, learning new things can be hard but the internet is already the shortcut. Quit trying to outsource even more of it.

  “I think AI is bad but other people who say so are weird”

  mmk

  They also introduce much more uncertainty and remove your ability to judge the trustworthiness of the information you’re receiving. That’s not to mention the social and environmental costs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s cool. I did all of that without AI coming from a similar place as you. AI didn’t open up a new path for you, it just showed you a path that already existed, which isn’t any different from what a regular search engine can do. There was nothing stopping you from finding that path on your own except your unwillingness to look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s cool. I have yet to find a use case for AI. Am I doing it wrong or are they just bad with computers?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s $440 billion wipeout, and investors angry about OpenAI’s debt, explained⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s already been several years. Tesla had an actual product that people wanted. Yes, they’ve been doing their best of late to torpedo their market share and brand name but at one point they were doing what they set out to do. Open AI has never done what they said they would do.

  No problem. I have been using it for a while and I really like it. There’s nothing stopping you from doing it the old fashioned way if you find you don’t like portainer but once you familiarize yourself with it I think you’ll be hooked on the concept.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Getting worn out with all these docker images and CLI hosted apps⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Use portainer for managing docker containers. I prefer a GUI as well and portainer makes the whole process much more comfortable for me.

  You don’t have to be such a bitch about everything. If you guys can’t even work up the courage to block a government account on an obscure social media site for fear of reprisal then you might as well enroll yourself for deportation right now because you clearly don’t have what it takes to do anything actually useful to stop all this.

  Because they want corporations to do their job for them of holding the government accountable.
