It’s almost certainly in the legalese they used in the EULA everyone that uses them agreed to. What it won’t be, is clear that this was the intention.

Well yeah, that’s absolutely intentional at this stage.

Privacy is dead and gone. Absolutely everything manufactured after 2020 (earlier for lots of things) is spying on us.

Smart TVs were pretty clearly designed for exactly this purpose.

They’re only surveillance chips when someone other than the US uses them against allies and enemies alike. Apparently.

A lot of it was blocking IP’s and Domains in your hosts file since a lot of those connections were dial up, not high speed.

Once networking expanded a bit, it was blocking the same in your router. There were maintained lists around like there are today as well.

Is there a reason you want to use sites that are actively spying on you?

If it breaks, they aren’t worth your time.

Fuck me people are stupid as shit.

I really dislike the general population, they seem to just zombie walk themselves through life paying no attention to anything at all.

I’ve been blocking ads since the 90s. I honestly do not understand how people use the Internet without ad blocking. It’s completely unusable to me without.

Though I also turn off my radio volume when ads come on, so maybe I’m just really opposed to ads in general.

How do you feel about the fork of libre Gangnam style, Gangnam Style NG

Law firm probably tentatively said yes they’d represent him, and then backed out once they saw all the details.

I think that could only be really claimed if you know what training data the LLM was trained on. That will only matter if it ends up in court though and no one seems willing to fight that fight at the moment.

I don’t mean this to be snippy but people don’t give a shit how or who wrote the code.

Most people will never know either way. If you download an app from an app store you don’t know what the code looks like.

Also software devs like to think they are clever and valuable because big tech has been pumping them up for a couple decades but the business doesn’t actually give a shit how a feature gets implemented only that it was and the customers value it.

LLMs are perfectly capable of writing correct code. The main issue with them is the pace of change which has been greatly accelerated and how it can eclipse the rate a dev can understand the change.

I know people like to claim that every thing they make is slop but that ignores that basically the entire industry is using it to varying amounts and are unlikely to stop going forward.

It’s a confirmation bias thing.

If you’ve already got a connection in your garage for your garage door opener, why not simply setup an AP in there as well so as soon as you hit your driveway you connect to the wireless?

I get wanting off site access, but consistent local access would be my main concern.

Certainly if you’re smart you’ll consider them all dangerous. I grew up in a household with a cop as a father, I am quite aware of how even the “good ones” are abhorrent.

I mean, the cops here aren’t nearly as corrupt as the law in the USA, by design, so, I don’t worry at all about that.

Then you sit in a place of privilege (as do I). The Indigenous communities certainly wouldn’t likely feel the same, I imagine many people of colour as well. Are they as openly dangerous? Not openly no, but they still kill quite a few people, took many Indigenous people into the middle of no where in the winter and dropped them off to die, are generally very violent when it comes to protesters that aren’t right wing etc.

Our cops are complete and utter shit. American’s are just worse that’s all.

I would like to do this but I’m not confident I wouldn’t turn the quality to shit when doing the reencode.

I run Arch on my personal machine and Debian on my server and honestly Debian gives me more issues.

It doesn’t like zfs and Nvidia drivers are always a fight. Debian is still good though if all you want to run is a web server forever.

What happens when a zealot meets a more zealous zealot

I think responding to borrow checker errors is easier than debugging some random segfault

Also I don’t separate the language and it’s build system. I have to use it to write the language it’s an entire kit.

Part of c/cpp problem is it’s build system and dependency story just serves to get in my way instead of letting me write code. The syntax is irrelevant when I’m fucking with some auto conf script because the version on my machine is 0.01 versions different.

It is definitely easier.

Don’t try and tell me cargo is not easier than fucking around with the C/CPP build slop I’ve had to screw around with over the years.

The coreutils license is bullshit but let’s not pretend languages have not improved in 50 years.
