- Comment on This Company Is Secretly Turning Your Zoom Meetings into AI Podcasts 2 weeks ago:
That happens a lot. There are a lot of people doing open zoom meetings and webinars. So you might have a webinar about “how to install solar on your roof”, organized by some organisation or a public zoom meeting for some online community. The link will get posted on socials and everybody can hop into the call and listen to it. Some other examples are in the article.

Yeah, that’s the problem: There is no paywall-busting archiver that doesn’t DDOS. If you know one, let me know.

Paywall free, but makes you part of a DDOS attack

- Comment on pirate shit 2 weeks ago:
Be careful with what you are watching in the next few years. Hollywood gave itself a diverse face in the last few years. Put in black actors, had some strong women in lead roles, had some gay characters and so on. I’m afraid that we will see some movies pushing hart right MAGA topics in the next time. Movies that are pushing for traditional gender roles, have gay people as evil masterminds, immigrants as criminals and so on. We already saw that with all those movies with evil arab guys in the bush era. Hollywood was taken over by Trump’s tech billionaires, you will see this turn it in the media you are watching. That will influence you and maybe you shouldn’t watch such stuff
- Comment on Robots will solve wealth inequality, they say 2 weeks ago:
It’s legal for your boss to replace you with a robot and fire you. But it’s not legal for you to just buy a robot that is doing your job for you while you are still getting paid.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 2 weeks ago:
It totally depends on your living and garden conditions. If you have the space and the current climate for it you can totally use your garden to save money on groceries. This will not feed your whole household but can help to save some money and make everything more resilient. Plant an apple tree and you will maybe not have apples this year, but in the next year you can get your first apples. My tree is now 4 years old and is growing several kilos of apples every year and will for the next decades. Plant a cherry tree. Raspberries. Redcurrant. Other fruit trees. Those plants will grow every year and provide you with a lot of healthy food and will not take that much time to grow and cultivate. So it is a great time to start - you might get some results later this year, but next year will be great.

It’s spring in most of the northern hemisphere and therefore the next months are the best time to start a garden. Yes, chances are that you won’t feed your family from it. But it’s fun, it is a great way to get fresh food and if you have the option to do it, you should

- Comment on I prompt injected my CONTRIBUTING.md – 50% of PRs are bots 2 weeks ago:
But what is the purpose of this? So people are setting up bots that are sending PRs to open source projects, but why?
- Comment on Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s a problem. So even if you want to search your local newspaper, you won’t be able to because of bot protection. Your crawler will be blocked. You also can’t put the whole of Reddit or even Lemmy in your search index.
- Comment on Cyberattack on vehicle breathalyzer company leaves drivers stranded across the US 2 weeks ago:
It makes sense - a self-contained device can be circumvented. A connected solution is much, much harder to fool
- Comment on Google Search is now using AI to replace headlines 2 weeks ago:
Time to start self hosting
There is simply no usable self-hosted search engine. There are some projects like Yacy or Searxng, but they do not have their own index. And having your own self-hosted index is kind of impossible because you need to save the whole of the web on your own devices to be able to search it.
- Comment on Our commitment to Windows quality 2 weeks ago:
The fact that a multi-billion dollar company publishes a post like this shows how bad things have gotten.

That’s totally on your hardware. All those DVD burners you can buy do work.
- Comment on FBI admits buying Americans' location data and says it won't stop 2 weeks ago:
That also means that all those apps which are embedding those location trackers are illegal in Europe and other countries. There is no way for someone to give his informed consent to sell his location data to the fucking FBI just by clicking a button.
- Comment on ListenBrainz about to hit 100k users 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, I think one issue is how this aggregate data is being provided for download. Is it really “this user has listened to this song on this day at this minute”, or is it kind of an aggregate data like “users who listen to Metallica also listen to Pantera” and “the most listened song for Taylor Swift is shake it off”?
- Comment on ListenBrainz about to hit 100k users 3 weeks ago:
So what happens to the data? As far as I can see you’re uploading your music listens to the service and you don’t have a private profile, it’s always public and everything is being provided as a download for everybody. So everybody can get the full amount of my listening history, including Metadata telling them for example when I was awake, listened to sad songs or drinking songs on a thursday night?
- Comment on ListenBrainz about to hit 100k users 3 weeks ago:
I’ve been using LastFM for nearly two decades now. First of all, having personal listening statistics is kind of fun. It might be not for everybody, but it’s nice to see which albums are your most played over a year or what you listened to back in 2015, how your favorite artists changed, which album really vibed with you and so on.
Second, you can get really good recommendations for new music when you have a larger user base and are running into a smaller genres. So just like Amazon’s and people who bought this product also bought that product for music. So people who listen to Britney Spiels also like to listen to Christina Aguilera. That might be obvious for you, but it’s totally interesting if you go down some of these genres and if you want to explore them.
And on a broader scale, listening data is quite valuable to create a good music service. So if somebody never heard of a band called Deep Purple and wants to change that, there might be this one song everybody knows from Deep Purple. And this is, of course, the most popular, but how do you find out that this is the most popular? So if you have your own Jellyfin installation, you load in several albums of Deep Purple, but you need some data source to tell you that ‘smoke on the water’ is that famous song from Deep Purple that everybody’s listening to.

- Comment on We don’t have room in the carbon budget for a world war. 3 weeks ago:
I disagree. That oil you are seeing burning is just a few days of normal production. So it would have gotten burnt regardless. If you take the broader view, disrupting global oil production will give renewable energies a much needed push. If your petrol gets too expensive, the electric car maybe looks better now. Using solar and wind looks better when fossil fuel prices are more expensive. And heating your home with a heat pump is currently much, much cheaper than using gas or oil. So this will give a push, if done correctly.
Some countries might even wake up and realize that it’s better to produce their own energy from the sun shining on their own soil than being kind of a victim of whatever happens somewhere else in the world.

- Comment on 79% of smart dash cams we tested had security flaws and concerns, and in some cases they were breaking the law - Out of 28, only six didn't have any concerns. 3 weeks ago:
There is a good case to be made for “keep it simple”. It sounds like a great idea to connect a dashcam to your phone, but that brings so much more complexity into it. Networking, security, updates, changing phone OS and so much more.
I started to buy simple “single purpose” devices without connectivity in the last few years and so far it has gone great. Yes, I might have to take out the SD card and put it in my computer if I want a dashcam video, but I know that my dashcam doesn’t need updates, will work until some hardware failure sometimes in the future, I do not need to worry about some chinese cloud service going down or someone spying on me with the app.

- Comment on Microsoft Confirms Windows 11 Bug That Locks Users Out of the C: Drive 3 weeks ago:
There must be something really seriously wrong at Microsoft. I can understand that Windows patches are complex and that they might break some of those crazy things people are running on their machines. But how is a bug that is killing access to the C:\ drive able to get through testing? WTF are they doing?
