  Reading over that list, I don’t really see anything that isn’t “maybe gets read privileges”. Hardly useful enough to be worth attempting access to a single personal Jellyfin server.

  I’d be mildly surprised if anyone has ever bothered.

  You do you, but in my view the effort outweighs the benefits.

  Oh, look, the reason Dodge reliability is garbage.

  Also, it’s likely to drive sales for Bethesda, considering

  the requirement of owning Skyrim Special Edition and Oblivion GOTY Deluxe.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  $1300 CAD on games over 15+ years with a current value of $8350.

  Yeah, I’m cool with that.

  I’ll take “things that might have happened if Elon didn’t cut the department that relates self-driving” for $100, Alex.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI isn’t ready to replace human coders for debugging, researchers say⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my experience, LLMs are good for code snippets and input on best practices.

  I use it as a tool to speed up my work, but I don’t see it replacing even entry jobs any time soon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aight... i'm out..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  True, I should have said a benefit that is a negative for the consumer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aight... i'm out..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re getting down-voted, but, yes, this change only really affects user experience.

  I don’t know why anyone would think that what the LLM can access for context during your session is a limiting factor for what OpenAI has access to.

  If this change freaks you out, the time for you to be freaked out about history was the moment they started storing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aight... i'm out..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you might be confused about the difference between giving the LLM access to your stored conversations during your session and using OpenAI using AI to search your stored conversations.

  What the LLM has access to during your session changes nothing but your session.

  It’s not some “I, Robot” central AI that either has access or doesn’t as a whole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aight... i'm out..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That is the difference, but it’s a pretty minimal difference. Open AI hardly needs to give the LLM access to your conversations during your session to access your conversations.

  In fact, I don’t see any direct benefit to OpenAI with this change.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨aight... i'm out..⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not going to defend OpenAI in general, but that difference is meaningless outside of how the LLM interacts with you.

  If data privacy is your focus, it doesn’t matter that the LLM has access to it during your session to modify how it reacts to you. They don’t need the LLM at all to use that history.

  This isn’t an “I’m out” type of change for privacy. If it is, you missed your stop when they started keeping a history.

  You mean DE1, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft has now fired the employees who publicly protested the company supplying AI tech to the Israeli military⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mint for general use.

  Nobara or PopOS for gaming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Half Life: Alyx is Five Years Old Today⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But what if you bought a real VR headset instead of a gimmick one?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨portable jellyfin stack⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Love your edit. Sounds like me, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard people like that one. I didn’t try it, but I love Nobara as my primary OS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s so cool. We’ve been waiting for Linux to cover gaming and it really has with the push from Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I’ve never had trouble even with partitions, but Windows isn’t going to mess with drives that aren’t NTFS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Unbelievable Scale of AI’s Pirated-Books Problem⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Good stuff. Too many people lately are all “no copyright would be an improvement.” Yeah, maybe for the corps who could freely use your output as they wish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobara or Pop! OS would be good choices.

  Yeah, VR is still catching up, but I feel like (dual) booting to Win 10 just for specific purposes would greatly reduce the risk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favourite Mario Kart game?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  64 was the last decent battle mode, imo. I don’t know why they removed levels big enough to hide in.
