I consider TikTok harmful, so you are right about your last sentence.
But my AC does not nor ever has actually consumed 4kW in an hour.

What exactly do you get for that power though?
The point is that it’s too much power for little gain in return.

Most of Black Mirror episodes are reality right now, not just far fetched sci-fi.
Sometimes they use technology to tell the story a bit differently, but it’s almost never anything new.

I’m not sure how is this applicable?
If you have storage for documents, they will fill it up and you have to remove them.

- Comment on When was the first time you cried over an anime? 2 weeks ago:
First time was probably Angel Beats, as it was one of my first shows.
Though I still rewatch and shed tears at the end of Madoka (2nd movie). Just the best piece of media I’ve ever enjoyed.

It seems that Connect fucks up ampersands in the URL, your link is actually fine.

- Comment on Watermarks offer no defense against deepfakes, study suggests 4 weeks ago:
It’s not good.
But it’s leagues better than crypto.
I hate typing ‘asymmetric key cryptography’, and GPG is just three letters.
Those blog posts explain a lot, but one use case is missing (at least I don’t see it apart from git commit signing), and that is verifying the source of a public message.
And I do wish we tried using the private keys more. Specially now when anyone can deepfake anything.
If I ever release my nudes, never trust them unless they are signed and you can check them with public key in my profile.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Just like the rest of us
- Comment on Watermarks offer no defense against deepfakes, study suggests 4 weeks ago:
Just fucking sign it. With your private key.
And publish your public key.
Then everyone will be able to verify it’s your work, and no deepfake will ever pass that test.
- Comment on Watermarks offer no defense against deepfakes, study suggests 4 weeks ago:
Sorry for blowing this on you, but fuck blockchain, fuck NFTs.
What we need is better understanding of cryptography.
PGP has solved this problems decades ago, and crypto has just borrowed some parts, but made it worse in every possible way and into incomprehensible depths.
Again, fuck crypto, fuck NFTs.
I should make a guide on how to use GPG.
