If you aren't telling your computer to ignore goblins, you're going to be left behind.

Silly prole, insider trading is a white collar crime reserved for your betters. Time to learn your place.

There are others that Cloudflare and friends use for fingerprinting.

This is what I do now, but the convenience of always having at least one spare battery on my person at any time was peak smartphone

Living on the edge is part of the fun

> If it's such a superior product that people want despite the tradeoffs, why don't they just fund a company to create such a phone? Why doesn't anyone?

Because legislation is direct and gives better results to consumers. Thank god the EU standardized on USB-C.

There's no reason to jump through extra hoops and rely on the whims of investors to do something good for the people.

I cannot wait until I can carry a spare battery in my wallet again

I imagine the UV energy itself weathers surfaces like the sun does, but at different scales. It's probably not enough to matter from the lamps.

"Hot car smell" is plastics in the car releasing volatile gas from the heat and sunlight, and surfaces in general fade, peel and crack from sun exposure over time. Thought maybe something like that would happen with different exposed materials to the lamps.

A culture that values privacy, out of respect, necessity and/or fear, has potential to sabotage each step of the process even if it were not to change.

There was a point, at least in my bubble, where there was a general sense that government surveillance is bad (expect against those people). I think coming out of the Cold War, then 9/11, and followed by propaganda obfuscating the increase, purpose and prevalence of private surveillance took us from "no, we aren't Stalinist Russia" to "I don't care, I have nothing to hide" to just "I don't care" when it comes to the topic of surveillance at all.

Unfortunately, it will take great shocks to instill it so the next generation can learn from the suffering of the previous, and then forget it when privacy is taken for granted again.

Men confuse their feelings, and especially what soothes their egos, with "rationality" all of the time

If you start from a position of assuming objectivity, you are putty in the hands of anyone who "tells it like it is"

How does this affect surfaces like walls, finished wood furniture and floors, plastic, paint, etc?

I imagine it will cause some material to off-gas aldehydes at the very least.

Part of aging is the result of oxidation of DNA over time and as cells reproduce.

Section 230 allows for as much censoring as you want, you are not liable for user generated content as an interactive computer service provider if you censor or don't.

The Venn diagram of crypto scam artistry and AI scam artistry is a circle

Yes, TLS should be considered a given. Set things up right and you can use TLS locally, too, with Let's Encrypt, which is a prereq to stream some things to streaming sticks using Jellyfin's raw HTTP streaming without a Jellyfin client.

You can also use HTTP auth with your reverse proxy and it works with all Jellyfin clients

If that surprises you, imagine the shady shit people with too much money invest in when the thought of "what if I hired some hackers" crosses their minds.

Yes, it was annoying, SQLite sucks as single source of truth for clusters, and it cost less than $100 to just buy hardware that can handle multiple high res transcoding sessions at once, but not 20 households' worth.

Don't expose it to the internet unless you know what you're doing, or put it on a VPS you don't care about.

Ideally keep it behind a VPN and give your family members access to it that way, and let local devices on your LAN connect to it without a VPN.

Just use byobu, zellij does weird things, byobu just uses tmux (or screen) and has a sane mouse TUI

These fuckers put a Copilot key on my laptop and didn't even both to make it emit a unique mappable event when pressed, it's a key combo in one key when you hit it.

Voting to put people in prison because of smells is certainly a take.

The right to privacy that Quinlan's parents' case was decided on was derived from the conception of privacy from Roe v. Wade that was reversed in Dobbs, as in the judge explicitly used Roe as framework.

Copyright Office's interpretation of US copyright laws says that AI is not human, thus not an attributable author for copyright registration, and output based on mere prompting is no one's IP, it can't be copyrighted[1].

When AI output can be copyrighted is when copyrighted elements are expressed in it, like if you put copyrighted content in a prompt and it is expressed in the output, or the output is transformed substantially with human creativity in arrangement, form, composition, etc.

Why write script when more tokens does job

Earlier than that, this brand of social/economic/racial/sexual/etc aggrievement and reactionary politics was bred via 80s-90s AM talk radio.

The talking points that were ascendent in the Tea Party era to 2016, and are still ascendent today, were honed at that time in that sphere. Limbaugh said words 30-40 years ago that breathed life into a reactionary movement 20 years later and shaped its theory.

You can keep following the thread back, but I think this form of weaponized aggrievement took its shape at that time, its literal memes were potent and virulent back then, they just needed the right environment to really spread.

> Murder = Bad. No disagreement across cultures.

That's not a given. Look at the Old Testament, it professes that you shall not kill, but is also full of laws that are upheld by death, stories of just killings, etc and the whole thing is written via dictation from a war god.

In cultures where honor is a big thing, it can be seen as just to kill those who bring dishonor or to maintain honor.

In cultures where purity/cleanliness is a big thing, it can be seen as just to kill those who are impure/unclean.

Not as simple as murder bad

X, the non-consensual nudes app, surfaces the dumbest comments in any discussion by design. It is not a serious site, having a presence there is not meaningful.

It's like saying organizations should have a branded presence on 4chan otherwise they might not reach the very online and meme-poisoned demographics.

The OP is describing the status quo on mobile phones and tablets. On mobile Secure Boot, and systems like it, are used to lock out the user. If the boot path integrity is altered, some apps won't work or will provide degraded experiences.

What's happening the article is what has already happened on mobile: it requires vendor signing to run anything on mobile OS and the vendor locks out 3rd party drivers from their OS entirely.

It's yet another step towards desktop computing converging with mobile when it comes to software/firmware/boot/etc integrity attestation, app distribution and signing, and the ability to use your own bootloader and system drivers. When Secure Boot was first rolled out on laptops, it was used by Microsoft to lock the user out of the boot process before it was adapted to let users register their own keys, it can always be used for its original purpose, and how it's currently used on mobile, again.

Washington wouldn't have had an army if he didn't pay them, you can't have wars between nations that rely on the morale of the public to sacrifice themselves and their children to the front lines in order to protect the wealthy's interests, you'll run out of true believers very quickly.

You'll need to pay people not to defect, desert or try to get their family asylum somewhere that isn't a warzone. That, or you force them through conscription.
