People can run it to verify? That’s how open source models work.

Honestly if you’re at the point of suspecting that your Linux system is infected, just back everything up, wipe, and reinstall. Make sure to use a known good computer to make the install disk, and completely wipe the drive before install and not use existing partitions.

People have mentioned Wireshark which you can use to monitor for suspicious network activity, but IMO for most people this isn’t super helpful because it’s hard to tell what’s suspicious and what’s normal from Wireshark alone without quite a bit of networking/software knowledge. Maybe there’s more user friendly packet capture software though, something that can string the packets together into their respective connections and summarise key information like the protocol and domain involved.

QDirStat can visualize the contents of your drive as an interactive map. Might be helpful for finding files that aren’t supposed to be there.

ClamAV is an open source antivirus available for Linux but I don’t know how well it does at actually detecting Linux malware. Seems to be more for people running file/email servers to scan incoming file uploads.

Those “rent a e-bike/scooter for your commute” apps. Doesn’t take that many rides to exceed the cost of getting your own. If you find yourself using those regularly just save up to buy an e-bike/scooter.

Honestly if this was possible there are more egregious issues on their part than using AI.

“I see the problem!”

Seriously, everyone NEEDS to get a fire extinguisher for the kitchen. And keep it up to date. We’ve collectively forgotten just how deadly fires are, if someone in the middle ages found out we had the technology to almost instantly put out a decently sized fire and most people just, like, don’t bother to have it in their homes, they’d lose their minds.

Gonna link to this thread the next time someone gives me shit for adding a /s to what they thought was “obvious” sarcasm.

Bro literally had a conversation with the soldier in the tank.

Fucking cowards using flying drones. Kill me with a full humanoid and then I’ll be impressed.

I mean corporate names aren’t better meaning wise, they just have WAY more marketing behind them so they sound natural by virtue of being in your face until you capitulate.

What does 10^100 have to do with search engines? Also they spelled it wrong.

What does the biggest rainforest in the world have to do with shopping?

What do slight muscle spasms have to do with streaming?

What does a fruit have to do with shitty locked down phones and computers?

What does a colloquial superlative prefix have to do with taxis and food delivery?

What does the sound of a clock have to do with short videos? And before that it was a plant structure.

What does a reflective finish/coating have to do with web browsing?

One of the Wright brothers maybe? Still has nothing to do with image editing though.

Lol try actually advocating against him. They let you speak until the instant they think you might change something and have gotten really good at gauging that.

There are hearing aids that look identical to wireless earbuds. I sometimes wonder if people using them get judged because everyone assumes they’re talking to them with earbuds in.

Fedora gets no funding and all the karen behaviour in their issues channel I bet. Working with a giant corporation as an open source project sounds like actual hell.

Is that a real thing? Like an onsite (let’s be real, workstation, not button) that can turn all the servers off? Not even the circuit breakers do that because there are redundant power sources.

That’s fair. That’s honestly the optimal use case. But with how fast technology tends to advance I suspect this will get marketed as “everyone should get one and you’re basically Amish if you don’t” before you know it (even if China’s socialist government has regulations on how companies can market stuff, we Westerners don’t and it’s a matter of time until some Western techbro company contracts this into the next gadget people will judge you for not having.)

People already judge me for being in the tech industry and refusing to use whatever latest app/service that’s going viral because I know how easily untrusted software can fuck you over.

Look, I get that this is impressive and all, but as a developer, keep that shit out of my brain.

And this is not a “hurr durr China dictatorship hurr durr SeeSeePee thought control” thing, it’s an “I have no reason to think they don’t have good intentions but software, no matter how genuinely well intentioned, will NEVER be trustworthy enough for me to connect my brain to” thing. We DO NOT understand the brain nearly enough to even begin to theorise what could go wrong or what kinds of exploits could be done on it. Maybe it’s because it’s a paradigm shift that I’m not prepared for, but this sounds like absolute security hell and can only go disastrously wrong. And you can’t wipe and reinstall your brain when it does, nor does evolution tend to patch CVEs in a timely manner.

Remember that there are ingestible chemicals, a comparatively extremely crude and imprecise way of controlling the brain, that can completely destroy your mental defenses and make you do whatever the attacker wants. Imagine a direct neuron level interface with a computer that can scale infinitely beyond the processing power of the brain. Fuck that shit.

I just use the web UI. It scales really well on mobile.
