People always talk about pineapple on pizza (I don’t approve either), but I think cheese in sushi is even worse. It just ruins it.
Shredded tuna too. I love fish sushi, but I’d take a veggie one over a roll filled with cooked, shredded tuna. It doesn’t work.
I may have been on lemmy for a while, but I only got seriously into linux for like 2 months. Part because I am fed up with the AI/advertising bullshit in recent Windows, part because of end of support for my hardware. So, that definitely happens.
My previous personal desktop linux attempts were like early 00s and didn’t last long so I don’t think I’m officially part of the cult yet. I work with linux, I tinkered a bit with RasPi debians, but it’s the first time I am really considering it for my all purpose PC.
I still have a PC on W11. I am not in a hurry to convert it, because there is still stuff stucked on windows that I don’t expect will be easy to replace. Like Virtual Desktop.
I think I’m too sober for this shit.
One of my 2 PCs already switched to linux because of mandatory TPM 2.0 for windows.
It’s like they want us to leave their ecosystem. Requiring hardware changes in the middle of a major component crisis, one that they are in no small part responsible for, is certainly a choice.
I get stuff on Gog sometimes. They do some things right (no need for a client, no DRM stance, good compatibility support, chasing down lost rights for old games).
But unfortunately they can never get more than scraps from the big publishers because those will never agree to release their newer games without DRM.
And let’s be clear, I wouldn’t want them to go back on this, but that will make it hard for them to compete.
Interestingly, at the beginning everything on Humble was offering DRM-free options too. And then after a while they gave us some bullshit about their policy not being “DRM-free” but “DRM-agnostic”, which means, publisher can choose whether to use no DRM, or DRMs. Such a strong policy, thank you Humble.
The only games I pirate are those that either :
_ are completely abandoned by their publishers and literally unavailable through other means
_ are stuff I already bought long ago and this is the most convenient way to get them to run (I have occasionally bought games again if it was cheap and convenient)
_ have turned to such shitty business models I don’t want to give a cent to the publishers (and I almost don’t even do that one anymore since usually they’ve found a dozen more ways to turn the game to shit anyway).
So yeah. Totally agree with the service problem.
I don’t get it.
Why do they do that? Even if the goal was to hide the source of original content à la shitty content farm site, what is there to gain doing that on lemmy?
Or is that just that they get all their stuff from shitty content farms and have been trained to not give a shit about where stuff actually comes from?
Don’t forget to tell it you only want correct answers. Eleven times in ALL CAPS is the charm.
I am ready to believe those that allowed this law to pass were.
Well, another big hint is how the thing answered by addressing a username that wasn’t part of the exchange, twice. And then messed up the “@” when they pointed that to it.
If it’s even manually copy-pasted, the guy doing that didn’t allocate a single braincell to what was being discussed.
The great thing about asking gen AI to look for problems, is that it’s so helpful it will create new ones for you.
Like arguing for hours that if you were to remove safeguards from your code, it would become unsafe.
Oh cool, now there’s a new way of using AI to destroy the environment. Old one wasn’t deliberate enough.
would increase costs
For us? Microsoft licences aren’t exactly cheap, keep getting more expensive, and every single basic functionality is an extra.
cybersecurity risks,
Trust the megacorp with a huge target on its back that will deny any responsibility when it fucks up instead.
limit AI and cloud services
Sounds exclusively like a “you” problem.
expand government control in ways that can undermine civil liberties and enable censorship,
Sure, give that control to the US government instead.
Fuck that bullshit. Hopefully no clueless politician falls for it.
Not a company since I’m in public administration, but my structure has a few thousands workers, most of them having access in some form to the network.
They do filter our internet. I don’t give a fuck whether people consume porn with their own devices and connections. But if you can download porn, you can download anything, including malware. And a bad actor having access to data on our network would be disastrous.
Unfortunately, meta has that kind of data too. In fact hoarding private data is what their business is about. Not securing their network is criminal.
Absolutely. Or, as they say, “sporadic” amounts.
I don’t think I really care who wins that one, but :
Meta responded in October by filing a motion to dismiss, arguing the sporadic downloads were consistent with ordinary ‘personal use’ by employees and visitors on the corporate network.
Oh, yeah, just your ordinary downloading porn on the corporate network of a tech giant megacorp, as you do.
Either a lie or an admission of baffling incompetence.
The collective works of billions of people are up for grab to train a LLM without their consent, but a couple gigabytes of responses collected from another parrot machine is theft.
Sure, Anthropic.
That’s okay because even though I’m cursed with a rather vivid imagination, in this case the resulting image looks like abstract nonsense.
It’s certainly that. In fact as a French I didn’t even realize people might not recognize the tale. Makes sense that not everyone was exposed to it the way we were though.
La Fontaine’s version of this is commonly taught to little kids, along others like the Fox and the Crow or the Wolf and the Lamb.
Yeah, part of the usual “it’s not bad, you’re using it wrong” arsenal. Definitely not the clever hack they think it is.
This probably has as much potential to create new errors as to find old ones. LLMs are trained to be “helpful”, if you tell it with total confidence something is wrong, it will answer like there is something to correct, and anything will do.
So even if it had something about right to begin with, now it will thank you for your “insightful” question and output some bullshit to please you.
