  I’m willing to bet he’d try for Greenland. He’s certainly trying to get Venezuela to make the first move.

  He fucking sucks I wish there was actually an easy way out of this

  Considering Windows is basically saying “we’re going to switch what we’ve always been and become an agenic OS, you will just talk to it and Microsoft Cloud will interpret your will (only $89 a month!)”, people are rightly scared about having all technology rug-pulled from under us.

  Mozilla was one of the shining beacons of FOSS that allowed users choice and stability against corporate greed. Are you surprised that people are angry that they’re caving to the same toxic greedy behavior?

  There is no such thing as a privacy first AI, unless you’ve the hardware to run the model yourself (and, you don’t).

  At the moment, iOS doesn’t not allow any other browser engines. Every browser on iOS is just reskinned Safari.

  They know that American healthcare providers in the past experimented on blacks and other PoC without telling them and they don’t want it done to them now that we’ve pushed to make everyone equal under the law.

  This is why they’re so scared of equality as well - we’re all game for the unethical experimentation and exploitation of some of us aren’t in the protected class.

  To really break the programming we need to get through that those lines are drawn on class, not on race as they appear, and that no class of divine human exists.

  Thanks for poisoning the well. You’re doing your part

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Maybe the RAM shortage will make software less bloated?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Downvoted by libs with their collective heads in the sand.

  It might not wind up working, but Altman and Nadella et. al are trying to push all consumers to forever rent compute from them.

  They do not want you to be able to run your own Deepseek at home. They do not want you to control the hub of your smarthome. They want to know what’s in the spreadsheet you saved, what’s in the business plan you typed up, and when the password is to any E2EE service you have an account with.

  They want to forecast you like the weather.

  Honestly it is a bit. Like I knew he was all about raping and selling young women but literally killing babies and dumping them to hide the evidence is wild

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Every business is doing this for everything. To different degrees but they are all chasing their “get our fortune now and get the fuck out because the sky is falling” mentality. Have been since Trump 1.0 and now it’s accelerating rapidly.

  So there never was a pee tape. It was always just the Epstein files.

  I’m actually more upset they didn’t release it, now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy and PieFed users in 50 years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s funny how we went from “how do I not poop for 10 days” to “here’s constant shitposting about foods that’ll make you poop”

  Also, tie some corn on your belt, that’s the style at the time 🌽

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explained: Why you can't move Windows 11 taskbar like Windows 10, according to Microsoft⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Let’s be real, it’s because it makes it easier to train AIs on the Recall screenshots if it always has the taskbar in the same position as a reference context

  If our countries could stop doing things that give people a reason to commit terroristic acts, Maybe that would solve some of it and we could be more secure in our papers and possessions without unlawful interference and undue search and seizures but that’s apparently none of my business

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are your opinions of using Pi-hole for DNS within a homelab environment?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I preferred AdGuardHome over PiHole, but currently my servers are collecting dust as I need to get electrical work done before I can hook them up.

  It really sucks…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you manage your home server configuration?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was getting into a similar form with Terraform (well, OpenTOFU now) and Ansible before I had to pack up my homelab about a year ago. New place needs electrical work before I can fire it back up.

  How is Puppet to work with?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HDD prices spike as AI infrastructure and China's PC push collide — hard drives record biggest price increase in eight quarters, suppliers warn pressure will continue⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It sounds conspiratorial to say it seems like they are trying to crash the consumer market so that computing will be entirely dependent on their services, but I mean…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨THIS is an inventive idea⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t hook anything to a vent stack and especially do not hook anything to an appliance exhaust. You are asking for problems.

  Best way to do this is with a Christmas tree stand, secured with ropes over the top of the peak and off to the sides. Don’t penetrate the shingles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Allowing external access to your services means that any misconfiguration or bugs can be exploited to gain control of your machine(s).

  Once that happens they can be fucked with, your data stolen, your resources co-opted for someone else’s use, etc. and often times it can be made to look as though whatever bad shit it’s doing is your doing.

  So, understand your security posture. You can’t be too careful. Taking over weak or exposed machines is a global industry now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft bows to user demand and makes Windows 11's AI Actions optional⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They all want that. Sam Altman doesn’t want anyone to be able to buy a computer at all. Microsoft wants their cloud to know everything and do everything for everyone.

  They want a subscription for it all. They want to takwnyoyr money month after month; for the “privilege” of having access to the things you need to actually manage life in our modern society.

  They want to gatekeep survival, pick and choose the winners and take all the spoils.
