  Jokes on them I was only pretending

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨4chan Uses Bing to Flood the Internet With Racist Images⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re making propaganda... Join us... the 4chan thread instructs

  So the campaign is coordinated

  4chan

  The visual guide instructs potential posters to create images that are “Funny, provocative. Redpilling message (Jews involved in 9/11). Easy to Understand.” Under an image that shows a crying Pepe the frog with a needle next to its arm and a gun pointed to his head, the guide says “vaccines enforced by violence.” Under an AI-generated image of two Black men with gold chains chasing a white woman, the guide said “redpilling message (migrant crime in scandinavia).”

  So they're white supremacist fascists

  MAKE, EDIT, SHARE

  So they are inundating people with it

  whether you think it's random fun or not is subjective, but the way they've described it is accurate.

  It doesn’t hurt that the same companies that did all the things that made people cynical about technologies are the ones perpetrating this round of BS

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most U.S. adults don't believe benefits of AI outweigh the risks, new survey finds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they live in the same society as you, and they get to decide who goes to jail as much as you do

  That's kinda dumb but also incredibly niche, prob low volume

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple’s new USB-C iPhone cables and dongles are predictably expensive⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't need any of these, I already have the USB-C cables for my laptop, that was the whole point of switching to USB-C. Also in the cover photo is that a USB-C to USB-C dongle? What use is that??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI chatbots were tasked to run a tech company. They built software in under seven minutes — for less than $1.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  At the designing stage, the CEO asked the CTO to "propose a concrete programming language" that would "satisfy the new user's demand," to which the CTO responded with Python. In turn, the CEO said, "Great!" and explained that the programming language's "simplicity and readability make it a popular choice for beginners and experienced developers alike."

  I find it extremely funny that project managers are the ones chatbots have learned to immitate perfectly

  I can totally see the use case for boilerplate, but I’m also very very rarely writing new classes from scratch or whatever

  I feel like we’re missing the forest for the trees here, this is all in service of a feature in bing that was supposed to revolutionize search but actually caused a 0% increase in Bing’s market share from q1 to q3 https://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/bings-search-market-share-fails-to-budge-despite-ai-push/

  So if this is a plea for help, where should I go to see what I can do?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  This sentiment comes off a lot like “it won’t affect me, I don’t care”.

  Then you’ve severely misunderstood what I wrote

  Nobody should have to put up with this shit. That’s why we take a stand against it.

  That is exactly what I’m advocating for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I realize exactly how much I use them, reread what I have written.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I'd be very surprised for one thing, because IE is no longer a product Microsoft supports in any capacity. I'd also be confused as to which tools the web hosting market just shifted to that they're using Microsoft tools, there are monopolists out there I'm worried about but Microsoft isn't my main one right now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep, that’s the bargain I’m making. I’m way happier now that I’m not yelling at nerds on Reddit/Twitter/etc. The nerds on the fediverse are much less time consuming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fine, I will continue to use websites that work for me and when they don’t I will complain

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s less about what they implement, and more about what their users who have clout expect. My regional bank is far more responsive to customer feedback than, for example, Bank of America. As for governments there’s all sorts of bureaucracy I can push on with not a lot of resources. It’s not accessible to everyone but organizations don’t need all that much prodding to respond anyway

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't see why I should be the only one

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t have any problem accessing them, which was my point

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, so I will not use them. This is acceptable to me

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Bank: my bank is too boomercore to ever implement something like this, we only recently got 2fa

  Government: my government still makes me file my taxes on paper and mail it to them so I’m ok for now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple already shipped attestation on the web, and we barely noticed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  These schemes all have the same problem that reddit and Twitter have: they need me more than I need them. If your website or app or whatever won’t work if I’m not on the right device I won’t visit it, and that’s not a bad thing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux file system developer: we're severely under-resourced⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Its like everyone outside, knows a breaking the ABI definition from the sub system implementation would create a far more stable ABI which would solve a bunch of issues and allow change when needed, except no one in the kernel will entertain the idea.

  We also can’t go back to fix SMTP either. Simply saying “we need to break ABI” is not a solution for the same reason, the fear Darrick mentions in the email is justified, it’s the fear of e-mails when you change something that breaks everyone’s widget in a way they don’t expect or care to learn about and demand you fix it for them. It’s all well and good to say that they should simply wash their hands of it, but that’s not an option when your inbox is flooded with automated bug reports that don’t explain the problem

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux file system developer: we're severely under-resourced⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m having trouble understanding the email, is this for people to help with fs or xfs or both or are they effectively equal? The linked patch is for XFS which I understand Darrick has quit, is he still on fsdevel? Is this plea for either ?
