Smells like antitrust violations.
- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 21 hours ago:
2^78 is large but computers can do an awful lot per second, so if only about some the pages contain attachments 2^40-55 is something you could bruteforce in weeks if you can do millions of attempts a second
- Comment on I made a way to remotely control my homelab without any internet access required 21 hours ago:
What is securing those private channels?
Whatever vulnerability there is in that will basically give them root on your home sever right?

How big is N though?
- Comment on AI Didn't Break Copyright Law, It Just Exposed How Broken It Already Was 3 days ago:
Ships already sailed but shouldn’t AI generated things just be considered derivative of their training set?
I don’t know how that works for images/video, but for code that means if it’s trained on GPL code the resulting code would have to be GPL and the liability is on the people distiributing AI generated code.
This also makes commerical use of AI generated anything complicated while allowing personal use under the current state of non-enforceablity.

This is sort of how putting hits on people actually works or has in certain scenes.
You don’t sign a contract or put out a bounty (unless you’re the state, that’s illegal), you just let everyone know that you’d hypothetically pay whomever killed the person you want offing.
As a bonus you can then say you were just joking (ofc that risks you being offed too)
- Comment on Is Wikipedia's Volunteer Model Facing a Generational Crisis? 3 days ago:
AI could help editors translate from other languages, but beyond that, it’s an inefficient mess that Wikipedia doesn’t need, plus given how much of AI is just regurgitating Wikipedia, It’ll give itself mad

That’s a real issue, but the article uses it as a jumping of point to get for AI slop.
- Comment on Is Wikipedia's Volunteer Model Facing a Generational Crisis? 3 days ago:
Wake up Lemmy, it’s time for your daily, Wikipedia should have more AI slop article.
Let’s make it 1400 words this time, and make sure to mention that younger generations watch Ticktok, but ignore that most TickTok slop is just people summerizing Wikipedia articles.

This sounds a lot like every framework, 20 years ago you could have written that about rails.
Which IMO makes sense because if code isn’t solving anything interesting then you can dynamically generate it relatively easily, and it’s easy to get demos up and running, but neither can help you solve interesting problems.
- Comment on Mattermost say they will not clarify what license the project is under 4 days ago:
I sometimes wonder if Qmail had had a clear license, if Gmail would have destroyed the self-hosted mail ecosystem so thoroughly.
- Comment on Backseat Software – Mike Swanson's Blog 5 days ago:
Sounds like stuff Stalman wrote about 45 years ago, are windows users really that far behind?
- Comment on The upgrade argument for desktops doesn't stand up anymore 5 days ago:
This has been true for a long time, CPU sockets don’t last long enough to make upgrades worth it, unless you are constantly upgrading. Whenever i’ve built a “futureproof” desktop with a mid-high end GPU, by the time I hit performance problems I needed a new motherboard to fit the new CPU anyway. Only really upgradable components are storage and ram, but you can do that in your laptop too.
The main advantage of Desktops is still that you get much more performance for your money and can decide where it goes if you build it yourself.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 6 days ago:
Civil wars require 2 sides capable of taking power.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 6 days ago:
People forget that labor unions were a major factor in Tiananmen Square, US labor unions are not a credible threat to take over so don’t need to be put down as brutally.
- Comment on SpaceX is seeking FCC approval to launch 1M satellites into space; SpaceX claims the fleet will orbit the Earth and use the sun to power AI data centers 6 days ago:
Also thanks too Moore’s “Law”, pretty much anything launched will have 1/2 the processing power of something on the ground of equivalent size every 2 years.
Part of the success of cloud hosting is that thanks to Moore’s law companies were hesitant to buy hardware only to have it quickly become outdated*.
*cloud servers are actually pretty expensive so it really didn’t work out like this, but by the time that was obvious, the advantage of cloud was you had support for aaS Software built in (e.g Database, load balancing, caching, etc), and downstream of that is the death of open source vendors being able to get by selling support.

Not a space expert but in v1.5 isn’t the center of mass being unaligned with the center of drag going to cause issues over time.

Lol, either these won’t be able to cool themselves or they will pump out heat straight into the upper atmosphere, which seems like a bad idea.
Also just to like Starlink this is a really dumb way to solve any problem other than how to inflate SpaceX valuations.
Now the lie that Starlink is resistant to censorship has been exposed twice (Ukraine & Iran), this is just the test Elon Grift.

- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 1 week ago:
You can just admit you don’t understand the joke or security.
- Comment on Mamdani to kill the NYC AI chatbot caught telling businesses to break the law— New York mayor says terminating the ‘unusable’ bot will help close a budget gap 1 week ago:
It’s a joke because AI tells people to kill themselves, so presumably an AI talking to businesses will talk them into shutting themselves down.
And as Mamdani is a socialist, he presumably wants private businesses to shutdown (and be replaced by cooperatives)
- Comment on Piefed admin settings that allow to enable or disable content filters (they are disabled by default, see body for details) 1 week ago:
I’m in, anything with less Tankies and less channers is good.
What’s the best instance to use, I assume I can keep my current user and just view posts via piefed.social
- Comment on What would you do if you knew your neighbor was an ICE/DHS agent? 1 week ago:
I’m not going to directly confront them, but I would be sharing his movements & address as widely as I’m legally allowed to.

I dunno I’m in favor of telling businesses to shut themselves down.
- Comment on How many containers are you all running? 1 week ago:
None, if it’s not in a Debian repo I don’t deploy it on my stable server.
It’s not really about docker itself, I just don’t think software has married enough if it’s not packaged properly
- Comment on How many containers are you all running? 1 week ago:
I used Debian

- Comment on Chinese propaganda is rampant on the fediverse 1 week ago:
I’m no fan of Tankies or the CCP, but I’m really not seeing any more pro-china propaganda than you see elsewhere, mostly excitement as a result of their green tech stuff or HSR (while ignoring why China has a
I am seeing a surprising amount of anti-china paranoia from the UK press right now that frankly seems like it’s engineered by the US given its timing. Like articles about diplomats using burner phones as if that isn’t standard (for all countries).
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 week ago:
People should understand the limits of E2E encryption.
I’d rather be unhinged than wrong.
- Comment on Lawsuit Alleges That WhatsApp Has No End-to-End Encryption 1 week ago:
Not encryption is largely based on encryption algorithms, security is much broader than that.
