- Comment on repair cafes are oriented to “give you fish”, rather than “teach a man to fish” 19 hours ago:
Have a look at
therestartproject.org/parties/
Participate in a free community repair event, where volunteer fixers will help you learn how to repair your broken or slow devices - and tackle the growing mountain of e-waste.
Keep in mind that some people are not actually interested in fixing their own things, they may not be able to because of disabilities too.
Informally I’m the guy in my hood who fixes shit, neighbors bring things to me all the time. Been doing it for years, only one person has shown any real interest in learning about it though. I always try to say “If it happens again, you can do this” if I think it’s safe for them to do so.
Some will take the initiative, some won’t. I also don’t want someone unqualified to just start poking around on Mains voltage or with powerful motors.

- Comment on ‘The vehicle suddenly accelerated with our baby in it’: the terrifying truth about why Tesla’s cars keep crashing 1 week ago:
It’s strange that that is not mentioned in the article. Possibly it was too damaged, they do say his wife has his phone though, and was not able to extract anything useful from it. It is not stated where the fire originated or spread to.

- Comment on 'I'm being paid to fix issues caused by AI' 1 week ago:
This isn’t really all that different from “New Manager Syndrome”. we’re going to trim the fat, shake things up around here . Idiot comes in and changes everything, fires some people, destroys morale, then you hire an independent to fix the mess.
I made a good living from this shit, and got a lot of very qualified people good jobs at sane companies. oh, you shitcanned Jane? Hello Jane? I’m going to have Bob call you in a few minutes if you are looking for work

From the same source, Blacklight is really good.

Blacklight is a Real-Time Website Privacy Inspector. Enter the address of any website, and Blacklight will scan it and reveal the specific user-tracking technologies on the site
So you can see what’s happening on a site before you visit it

- Comment on When the quality of scientific research is reduced because the researcher relies on platforms of surveillance advertisers (Google) 5 weeks ago:
I don’t use google, so I won’t submit any data to them through docs. My work is very niche, but is something that researchers are interested in. I have pointed people to alternatives, but they rarely use them.
It’s quite frustrating as I would like to contribute

- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 5 weeks ago:
I’d agree with that, both are problematic.
A lot of stubs should be deleted until they are expanded, they’re often more confusing than knowing nothing at all. I don’t think an LLM summary will help here though.
Reading a few articles deep is not only a pain in the ass, but is going to dissuade those who won’t do it. There’s also the issue that when you do wade in it might link to something that is poorly cited and confusing. Again, I think an LLM is going to make things worse here.
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 5 weeks ago:
Wikipedia articles already have lead in summaries.
Fuck right off with this
A future experiment will study ways of editing and adjusting this content.
