I said whatsapp is not safe once. Glad (and horrified) to see I was correct. P2P encryption means nothing if the clients just report the data out via a side-channel once decrypted.

Only until you are running so fast the runner’s high kicks in and you are in heaven.
Also, a free neutron decays after 608 seconds with 0.782 MeV blast into stable proton, electron and anti-neutrino. The more know…

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•I would like to play a calm gameEnglish
16·5 months agoI enjoyed Portal because I had to plan out what I’m doing before I act (without being pressured to act), the atmosphere of the game was legendary and I liked that little robot following me
Portal 2 has two community made “Valve Quality” DLCs. “Portal Stories: Mel” and “Portal: Revolution”. Mel seems playable on macOS at least. Revolution is basically a Portal 2 presequel. (It’s also so long I would have payed for it.)
I once asked a friend to what common technical fault (motor, bearings etc.) bmw cars usually start breaking. “Usually, BMWs are rolled around lightposts in the winter, so they never really break.” Was his answer. I’m still gobsmacked of his honesty. xD

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Steam competitors be like. [Extended?]English
10·6 months agoSteam is a closed source market place blob that takes 30% middle man tax. Valve however has understood FOSS, and the contributions they are making are immense.
When a true FOSS project is dominating this means the people are in control of it. Not corpos nor is it a monopoly. People have voted by donating work for it to be the most successful thing in its applicable area. Dominating FOSS projects also suck up and integrate a lot of innovation greatly reducing duplicated effort.
FreeBSD is alive and well, and it even benefits from Linux’s DRM GPU drivers.
Although the drm gpu drivers are mostly of a corporate effort, we are seeing an occasional interventions by the people “no, not like that” to keep the sometimes shoddy quality up.
/<this is a bit too high effort post.>
some other mega Corp who doesn’t give a shit about GPL licensing?
The GPL was written using the very same law language and methods that the mega Corps are now days trying to enforce against us.
It’s kind of ironic.
Stick to the GPL licensencing of your code whenever possible and the garbage EEE can’t subdue you. (Embrace extend exthinguish.)
If they plagiarize it they kinda ow you the honor.
Hower, plagiarism is still plagiarism, so you better actually write some of your code by hand.

48·9 months agoI hope we eventually get a copyleft lisence that states: “by using this product in a comercial product you have commited to supporting it, either by monetary fee or doing development work for it behalf, otherwise this product is entirely free of cost and is provided as-is”.
Edit: and the developers can freely reproduce the GPL license exception for all their products:
// Under Section 7 of GPL version 3, you are granted additional // permissions described in the GCC Runtime Library Exception, version // 3.1, as published by the Free Software Foundation.Currently, and I don’t know why, this extremely useful license exception for (C++) headers, which is meant for compiled down to machine-code is not usable for anything else. If your library is not part of GCC, the GPL does not help you here. As such, if you publish a header only library under GPL, you cannot state that the code using your code is not under “API” boundary, ie. free of GPL, while keeping your precious header under GPL. And no, LGPL, does not save you here.
You only have non-copyleft lisences like MIT (disgusting), Apache (shitly less gross), BSL-1.0 (still non copyleft) or LGPL (not gross, but extremely limiting.)
And, if you still publish something, I plead it is at least under GPL, since this guarantees a life for the produce, non-negotioable, forever, which I think is still better than dying and giving up to pooh of public domain.

Good, so the bland cavendish will never die and we actually learned something from the first mass-extinction event of more flavorful bananas. (the old more flavorful essence of the dead variety is still fckn. everywhere.)
Just try find and track the price per kg of a good, and you are in deep shit. Its some times hidden, after several “get the app”, “two for one” just to find out the good is fucking more expensive if you refuse go though the privacy invasing hoops. What the fuck happended to “Limited time offer until this actually cheap batch is sold out!”
Deploy the hypnobots! Marketing +10000%!
The timeline with the current AI sounds like ripoff from “the paper clips” game, where the only task is to make the number go up. If you play that game, you’ll spot that dark patterns used have spread everywhere since.
it doesn't end well for us.
eventually consuming the earth and universe, converting them into paper clips. 100% addiction game.
This is a kind of part you want a single metallic-crystal of… anything less would we subpar and jesus. So no uncontrolled cooling of the cast for you. (or the rotor can decide this is a good day for a extra slow spin and no-flight.)

Now, provide an example that you cannot, is impossible, to translate into French.
And I’ll accept your claim of unknowing is better than knowing.

What I don’t get with the LLMs is the peoples willingness to suddenly feeding it with their most intimate thoughts, that has now became a new fire-hose of data to exploit them.
It’s like the google incognito meme but on steroids. You can now ask anything you ever wanted and not be immediately ridiculed. Except, this is not true or hold up in the long run.

Those that think I’m anti-AI. It’s a tool. Use it wrong, and you break things. In this case a psyche.
