- Comment on how do i make my own limitation free ai? 1 week ago:
You can skip the first and third steps if you’d like, ollama runs just fine on windows and has gotten a UI built-in recently. You’d be up and running in about 10 mins or so instead of weeks.
- Comment on No, the UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer Online 2 weeks ago:
The EU has something in the works with zero knowledge proofs. Which would be a good way to do this.
I still don’t agree on the fact that this needs doing at all… But at least it’s not as bad as the UK’s half-baked nonsense
- Comment on Schools are using AI to spy on students and some are getting arrested for misinterpreted jokes and private conversations 2 weeks ago:
Idiots and assholes exist everywhere. At least ours don’t have guns.
- Comment on Managing Proxmox VE via Terraform and GitOps 2 weeks ago:
Especially dangerous because the script can change. So this stays up, gets indexed and put in the search results for people looking to do this… And then poof suddenly the script is an info stealer.
Might not even be the original poster doing this, maybe their account gets hacked and the link gets every so slightly edited.
Just bad practice.
Though I must admit I do use proxmox helper scripts… But at least that’s a somewhat trusted repo.
- Comment on Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK 3 weeks ago:
The sound isolation could be fixed by using a separate audio channel for Spotify, but no way it’s gonna be worth the effort as it’s not gonna be as good quality and if you’re considering doing all that you would be better off sailing the high seas (on one of the big music trackers)
- Comment on How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water? 3 weeks ago:
What I don’t get is how the water is “consumed”, it’s not like it’s gone right? It evaporates and then just comes back down as rain surely?
Same with water consumption of a sweater or a steak.
There probably is some good reason for measuring it like that but conceptually I don’t get it.
- Comment on Isn't there somebody you forgot to ask? 4 weeks ago:
No matter the argument for or against allowing a game, the role of deciding this should not fall to a payment processor basically holding a game platform hostage.
- Comment on On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android. 1 month ago:
It’s actually a whole list of requirements. grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices
- Comment on 1 month ago:
In Europe that used to be the case, but that changed not that long ago. Now providers are legally obligated to allow you to get your own modem
- Comment on Corporations are saving the planet! 1 month ago:
Because they’re very different bottles (the cap on the milk I’m talking about combines the seal with the cap)
- Comment on Corporations are saving the planet! 1 month ago:
That last sentence is pulling a whole lot of weight there, there are so many bad implementations out there it’s just stupid.
Also why the hell does this extend to all bottles, what is the point of a milk carton having this mandatory. (Pure coincidence, but most milk packaging I’ve come across after the change falls in the ‘bad implementation’ category)
- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 3 months ago:
It’s a computer (Artificial) making a choice that is better than random (Intelligence)
What it is not is a LLM (aka chatbot). It isn’t even any type of neural network. Does not make it any less AI though
- Comment on The Kids Online Safety Act Will Make the Internet Worse for Everyone 3 months ago:
The next time they try it’s gonna be against terrorism. For sure that time it’ll pass.
- Comment on Unhappy with the recently lost file upload feature in the Nextcloud app for Android? So are we. Let us explain. - Nextcloud 3 months ago:
To be fair, not allowing the user to remove an indicator that something could be tracking them is probably not the worst idea. Otherwise it’d be too easy for someone to install an app like that and hide it.
- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 3 months ago:
- I have it installed via obtainium (which pulls from their website)
- Pretty I didn’t
- OnePlus 12R
- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 3 months ago:
I mean it works on my device which is on Android 15. Not sure how exactly it works though. Just give it a shot and see for yourself?
- Comment on Android’s next big feature turns your phone into a desktop 3 months ago:
There is an app called CubeACR which does exactly that on unrooted devices.
- Comment on Stable Genius At Work 4 months ago:
Well a tracker I’m following is up more than 10% over the last week so it pretty much was a dip… Now before he crashes the market the next time he tells his buddies and they’ll have made a nice profit buying this dip.
- Comment on If you could add, remove, or alter one single bodily function, what would it be? 4 months ago:
Well you didn’t say for everyone… So maybe he meant just for himself :)
- Comment on Porn button might actually be runner-up to Esc. 5 months ago:
Who said anything about having time beforehand? You’ve gotta bootstrap from the ground up, making that program using only the single char you chose. Now that’d be a real challenge.
- Comment on What are some slow acting poisons? 5 months ago:
Rookie mistake honestly, should’ve asked for your friend who’s writer
- Comment on Cloudflare blocking Pale Moon and other browsers with smaller user bases 5 months ago:
I mean the criticism against Cloudflare is 100% valid. Having a single service be the single point of failure for half the web, not to mention that they can read the contents of every single request they proxy, is a terrible joke.
But the service they provide is real. A small business/service just doesn’t have the capabilities to handle a DDoS attack. And every minute their site is down means lost customers/users.
- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? - The Sunday thread 5 months ago:
Realised my jellyfin lxc had a maxed out bootdisk yesterday, haven’t been using it for a while. Luckily I have decent backups setup so I was able to restore a backup from late January when it wasn’t filled yet. A quick library rescan and everything was up and running again.
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 5 months ago:
Huh, didn’t see that one when I set up obsidian… I might check it out because syncthing does have some conflicting edit issues from time to time
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 5 months ago:
I mean not use the official paid sync to sync your notes… The plugin is in the official plugin store
- Comment on Obsidian is now free for work - Obsidian 5 months ago:
There’s also syncthing, which allows syncing a folder… Hell theres even a git plugin to bypass obsidian sync, so you can get version controlled notes (which might be desirable in a work setting)
- Comment on Discord introduces a feature that lets you quietly ignore users without them knowing 6 months ago:
It’s called plugins, and it’s great. Technically you are breaking ToS when using them, but there hasn’t been any crackdown (the betterdiscord team did remove the more ‘risky’ mods like messagelogger from the plugin store)
