I thought by now we’d have seen a fuckton of celebrity deepfake nudes and rule 34 porn of every variety, plus apps that let incels create it from pics of their high school crushes/enemies, but it seems like that tidal wave hasn’t hit yet.
Or perhaps the legal protections arrived just in time to discourage those with the know-how
Second this, Pihole is great and protects every device on your network too - mobile phones, smart TVs, tablets, Nintendo Switches, etc.
It’s wild how much telemetry is baked into stuff that you can just cut the nuts off of.
Nail it to the side of your house, in the sunlight, for a totally free charge from the sun
It sounds like they’re going to rewrite a bunch of code and decided to not invest the capital into Linux.
That’s a strange problem to have these days since libraries like this are often designed to run on all platforms, but what do I know.
But if it’s true that fewer than 1% of users are on Linux and it’s costing them more than other platforms, it makes no financial sense to keep it going.
Driver support was so dicey. If you had anything even remotely not mainstream, you would be compiling your own video driver, or network driver, or basically left to figure it out for any other peripheral. So many devices like scanners and very early webcams just claimed zero Linux support at all, but you could at times find someone else’s project that might work.
I tried to switch to Linux as a desktop system several times in the late 90s but kept going back to windows because hardware support just wasn’t there yet.
Hell to the no.
One of the best things ever about LLMs is how you can give them absolute bullshit textual garbage and they can parse it with a huge level of accuracy.
Some random chunks of html tables, output a csv and convert those values from imperial to metric.
Fragments of a python script and ask it to finish the function and create a readme to explain the purpose of the function. And while it’s at it recreate the missing functions.
Copy paste of a multilingual website with tons of formatting and spelling errors. Ask it to fix it. Boom done.
Of course, the problem here is that developers can no longer clean their inputs as well and are encouraged to send that crappy input straight along to the LLM for processing.
There’s definitely going to be a whole new wave of injection style attacks where people figure out how to reverse engineer AI company magic.
The strategy makes a lot of business sense too. It’s why piracy controls in Microsoft Windows were so weak for so long.
Steve Ballmer said something along the lines of if the Chinese are going to pirate software, I want it to be Microsoft software.
I’m not sure if this game has an online mode but generally speaking the network effect of online means more people playing equals a better online experience. If half those people didn’t pay, the ones who did pay still get a better online experience right?

Counterargument: I’d hire you to leafblow 2.5 hrs more area
Anybody seriously believing this has a misunderstanding of how little people care about what OS they use and how much they care that it works the way they expect.
This whole thing happened 30 years ago now. Wow. These two must be in their 50s now. It was such a media circus at the time.
This… This was inevitable.
My solution is a bit old school: A raspberry pi connected to my network and running miniDLNA. It has an externally powered USB hard drive. My TV runs Android and I have VLC installed. Any DLNA client works including Xbox and mobile phone apps too.
I don’t think mini DLNA is even updated anymore so eventually my solution might stop working but it’s been running solid for 10 years
What’s the women’s version of this?
Which of your friends do you think is cheating?
Oh and about 40% of your codebase will be xml files with magic strings that at runtime magically call a python function. Because fuck you.
Hahaha… This is pretty much spot on about the whole back end
Agree with another commenter that documentation is an issue. If you’re a developer, it’s not too bad. It uses a kind of homebrew model/view/template python backend that might baffle you for a while.
If you don’t need to modify it or integrate it too much with your bank, e-commerce sites, cash registers, etc then it pretty much works out of the box.
Odoo came from a fully open sourced project years ago and is getting more and more closed and expensive over time as they go upmarket. If you really want to own your data I’m not sure that’s a good direction.
There is a fork called Flectra that is usually about a version behind Odoo but reintegrates a lot of the paid features of Odoo for free, but its documentation and community is even smaller.
That overly aggressive issue manager closing tickets because the ticket opener didnt reply fast enough
“Can’t replicate, closed.”
Kuro5hin goes in there somewhere too
She understands there is a problem, just doesn’t understand the solution. Good on her for having privacy concerns and paying attention.
