Not legal but if you have a phone or dongle capable of packet injection you could probably deauth Ring devices automatically as soon as you are close enough to pick up their MAC address.
I assume they still record locally so unless you plan on stealing it it’ll just be a minor annoyance.
- Comment on AIs can’t stop recommending nuclear strikes in war game simulations— Leading AIs from OpenAI, Anthropic and Google opted to use nuclear weapons in simulated war games in 95% of cases 2 days ago:
The answer of nuke then all is likely to generate more conversations than “do you want to play chess” and LLMs “crave” attention.
- Comment on Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon 2 days ago:
Any we client including Matrix we webclient is incredibly vulnerable to the server just injecting JS and reading your messages.
Like there is no point of E2E encryption in Twitter, Musk can read your messages if you open them on any device he can execute arbitrary code on.
- Comment on Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon 2 days ago:
That actually sounds cool, I wonder if they could support Hidden containers, so the same message can be decypted to different messages by different users.
- Comment on Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon 2 days ago:
That’s not really going to be the case if you’re using a website instead of an audited app like signal/matrix.
- Comment on Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon 2 days ago:
Why?
What benefit does this have over Signal/Matrix?
The article just says “improvements”.
- Comment on Federated End-to-End Encrypted Messaging is Coming Soon 2 days ago:
What do you mean?
And what benefit justifies yet another standard?
- Comment on Using huntarr? Perhaps you shouldn't. 3 days ago:
This is what good distro do, well some of them, I don’t think low touch repos like AUR/Homebrew/PPA’s would catch this, but I doubt huntarr will ever make it to Debian.
Ofc the trend of running upstream unverted containers undermines this.
- Comment on Docker Hub's trust signals are a lie — and Huntarr is just the latest proof 3 days ago:
Yeah this is why I use Debian instead of containers, you can read the release notes on a stable release.
- Comment on Why is #FFFFFF white, but mixing red green and blue paint is black? 1 week ago:
Paints absorb light really Red paint should be -#00FFFF so under white light the light becomes FFFFFF-00FFFF -> FF0000
Of course under blue light (0000FF) it becomes 000000
If you mix paints you end up with -FFFFFF which turns any light into 000000.
Basically consider paint a transformation when it comes to light rather than a source
- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 1 week ago:
I don’t have to love ChromeOS to acknowledge that it’s a sold OS that’s commercially viable and that’s only possible because of the solid Gentoo base it’s built on.
- Comment on Gentoo Linux Begins Codeberg Migration In Moving Away From GitHub, Avoiding Copilot 1 week ago:
Gentoo is still a better distro, it underpins every ChromeOS device (they just do the compilation for you)
- Comment on Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI 1 week ago:
Spottube will play your music, but still depends on spotify-free to generate them
- Comment on Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI 1 week ago:
TBF they probably consider their most senior developers their best and at most companies the more senior you get the less code you write.

Another one? Isn’t GrowSF already this?

Smells like antitrust violations.
- Comment on Recreating uncensored Epstein PDFs from raw encoded attachments 3 weeks 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 3 weeks 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 weeks 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.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
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 weeks 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
cowAI disease. - Comment on Is Wikipedia's Volunteer Model Facing a Generational Crisis? 3 weeks ago:
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 weeks 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.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
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 3 weeks ago:
I sometimes wonder if Qmail had had a clear license, if Gmail would have destroyed the self-hosted mail ecosystem so thoroughly.

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 3 weeks 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.

Civil wars require 2 sides capable of taking power.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 3 weeks 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.
