  I’m willing to give them a pass since this was a development build and while someone probably should’ve thought of it, it’s the kind of bug that can happen. If this was the public release it would be a lot more outrageous.

  Depending on how you register the domain, there are some registrars that require no info at all. One of those paid with Monero creates no links to your identity.

  But yes, self-hosting does not shield you from court orders. If they find you they can still access your shit, depending on how much your country’s infosec police gives a shit and/or how closely they cooperate with US agencies.

  Don’t forget paying for the AI “service” too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft patents system for AI helpers to finish games for you⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Just watch a movie at this point. I started playing old games because I was missing the feeling of staring at a screen for a solid minute with no idea how to proceed and having to figure it out for yourself, or repeating the same section again and again slowly conquering what seemed impossible on the first try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Privacy-Focused Proton Mail Aids FBI in Uncovering ‘Stop Cop City’ Protester’s True Identity⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Again, they did not “aid” nor “give” that information. They were legally obliged to do so. There was never a choice. This could’ve happened with literally any company, E2EE stops them from being forced to turn over the emails themselves, but basic account metadata (creation date, payment methods, contact details, potentially IP access logs) will always be available. What you can do is limit the amount of information a provider requires/saves (for which Proton is a good choice) or don’t rely on a company at all and roll your own email server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China claims breakthrough with world’s first ducted eVTOL that can lift nearly half a ton⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tilting like helicopters and multicopters, you don’t need a dedicated directional thrust, just vectoring

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China claims breakthrough with world’s first ducted eVTOL that can lift nearly half a ton⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes I do know that, but I am not aware of any aircraft that is “a VTOL” but only does vertical take off and landing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China claims breakthrough with world’s first ducted eVTOL that can lift nearly half a ton⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Does the definition of VTOL not include the ability to transition to forward thrust? Looks cool but I’d just call it a multicopter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Pentagon’s Claude Use in Iran Is a Reminder that Anthropic Never Objected to Military Use⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on your definition, Anthropic has been the somewhat less evil on the scene, doing a lot of research to actually understand what they’re building instead of just making bold claims whenever they launch a new model, but it’s still relative to huge AI companies. The more ethical choice would be local models, again depending on what you see as the ethical issues of AI

  If ChatGPT wants to replace health professionals, it should be held liable for the “advice” it gives.
