First time I accidentally click on one of these I’m going to shit thst post up so hard.

Again, this is why this law was such a big deal. Prior to this you were correct. Thanks to the DMA, you are wrong. Firefox will be running Gecko, and Vivaldi, Brave, Chrome, etc are allowed to ship their flavors of chromium.

You can doubt all you want, but devs have had functioning alternative engines in dev environments for ages. Apple just would not allow them.

Yes, but this is more about mitigating the spread of CSAM. And my feeling was it’s going to become somewhat impossible soon. AI generated porn is starting to flood the market and this chat it is also one of those “smart” attempts to mitigate this behavior. I’m saying that very soon, it will be something users don’t have to go anywhere to get if the model can just fabricate it out of thin air, so the chat it mitigation is only temporary, and the dark web of actual CSAM material will become overwhelmed and swamped in artificially generating new tidal waves of artificial CP. So it’s an alarming ethical dilemma we are on the horizon of that we need to think about.

True. For obvious reasons I haven’t looked too deeply down that rabbit hole because RIP my search history, but I kind of assumed it would be soon. I’m thinking more specifically about models like SORA though. Where you could feed it enough input, then type a sentence to get video content. That is going to be a different level of darkness.

You should probably research the phrase “protest too much” and the word “schtick” then.

I’m not trying to clutch pearls here, as another poster here commented this isn’t a theoretical concern.

So your takeaway is I’m… Against AI generative images and thus I “protest too much”

I can’t tell if you’re pro AI and dislike me, or pro loli hentai and thus dislike.

Dude, AI images and AI video are inevitable. To pretend that does have huge effects on society is stupid. It’s going to reshape all news media, very quickly. If reddit is 99% AI generated bot spam garbage with no verification of what is authentic, reddit is functionally dead, and we are on a train with no brakes in that direction for most public forums.

This is one of the more horrifying features of the future of generative AI.

There is literally no stopping it at this stage: AI generated CSAM will be possible soon thanks to systems like SORA.

This is disgusting and awful. But one part of me hopes it can end the black market of real CSAM content forever. By flooding it with infinite fakes, users with that sickness can look at something that didn’t come from a real child’s suffering. It’s the darkest of silver linings I think, but I spoke with many sexual abuse survivors who feel the same about the loli hentai in Japan, in that it could be an outlet for these individuals instead of them finding their own.

Dark topics. But I hope to see more actions like this in the future. If pedos can self isolate from IRL interactions and curb their ways with content that harms no one, then everyone wins.

This is the illegal part. Firing them because they unionized.

It’s almost certain they can prove Google still needs these positions and the firing was motivated by this corrupt motive, not a business decision.

I mean… Watch the video? It uses 64 fucking cores when available. It’s a heavily multithreaded game.

Jump to the 3 minute mark.

I love that the game is such a CPU hogging mess that LTT used it to test over clocking a brand new AMD thread ripper and the game still ran like garbage even on one of the fastest and most multithreaded CPUs that exist.

I love Cities Skylines but whatever is happening in 2 is a three alarm fire and needs to be fixed.

Explorer Patcher if you need a vertical taskbar. Otherwise MS has been gradually adding the most requested features.

Not justifying what’s missing, but a lot of people didn’t understand just how big an overhaul they performed on the core UI. Explorer file manager and the main taskbar GUI have both updated, and the taskbar GUI is a new one from scratch that carries over 98% of features.

This kind of deeper update was long overdue, and makes the experience using 11 on a mixed use tablet a lot nicer frankly, bringing 11 closer to a unified tablet/desktop OS as it needs to be.

You have incredible style. Your DMs must be a tidal wave of horny responses. I’m no different, just making it public I think you are gorgeous.

Look into it more. It’s incredibly common, and the voltage from a small generator in your yard, yes in theory, could leak to neighbors. However electricity follows the shortest path to ground. So if your home is drawing it, you will basically prevent that leakage. If you do fire it up, but use nothing, you may partially leak current to your neighbors (and potentially be liable for damages if your little backyard Honda or generac has a power spike at some point)

And the danger to to the linemen doing repair isn’t the voltage necessarily (house current of 120v is not remotely high enough amperage to cause instant death. You can stick a fork in an outlet and try it) it is that you may suddenly electrify lines they are working on while suspended. If you charge the line, maybe you shock them and they have an accident. Or worse, your charged line creates enough of a charge differential that during the repair the much higher voltage electricity they have not isolated yet may bridge the air gap because you’ve energized the “dead” side prematurely.

In reality, most electricians and linemen are careful of this because of this exact reason. But it did harm a few people before moron’s use of these things became common knowledge. Prior to these kinds of cables being commonly marketed for this, a lineman could hop up and reconnect you faster because there was an assumption they had full control of the current pathways. Now that’s a toss up. This isn’t a recent thing either, but it’s becoming more common.

*tale as old as time… *

“XP is ruining windows with their damn duplo looking themes and primary colors. Pry 98 SE from my cold dead hands”

*true as it can be… *

“Windows 7 was the last time Microsoft cared, and 8.1 and 10 are regressions in every way. You’ll pry it from my cold dead hands”

“Windows X9 Delta was the final version when MicroAmazon cared about holographic interfaces. I’ll never use Windows X10 Gamma.”

Ob it’s far stupider and more deadly: hooking up your personal little generator so you can backfeed electricity to your house during a power outage.

It’s even more stupid and deadly than it sounds.

More of the same here. This is extremely depressing news.

It sucks that running a successful business can never be enough.

Prepare for Pi to start going closed source and fighting against “copycat” SBC boards. It’ll take a generation to see the enshittification set in, but Orange Pi and other similar projects are going to be the winners in a strictly profit based comparison.

More to the point: the bean counters running the company need to be replaced with engineers who know what it is this company is doing and what they build. It’s not an overnight fix, but so long as the C-suite is trying to go “lean and mean” every 5-10 years, this will happen again and cost lives.

I like jellyfin too as an option. But my parents and relatives and friends do not have jellyfin apps or ease of library sharing via jellyfin.
