Totally my thoughts. I get shoved twice a week just walking around in town.

You’re describing very different use cases. Face unlock isn’t AI. It’s just using biometrics to generate a very complex password. It should and can run locally, I wouldn’t trust any provider to actually keep it local though. Everything else you mentioned happens in the cloud. You need a good amount of processing power to generate the necessary output, which happens on server farms. Thats why Bezos is looking into nuclear reactors to feed his farms enough energy.

If you think Musk has your fingerprints because you tweeted about the last restaurant you ate, we clearly have no common sense of reality and should leave the discussion at that

Social media is a privacy concern as well, but this is clearly on another level. I don’t save my biometric data on twitter. I don’t need facebook to live a full life. And as you said, there are anonymous alternatives. There aren’t when you travel. And living without travelling at least a little bit is kind of sad. So the comparison doesn’t fit.

Using a 2 seater with limited storage space to taxi people around is pretty original. Not good, but original.

You forgot *affect 😉

Also “literally” was meant as a double entendre, since we’re speaking about words and that term is so often abused.

In a day and age where the people are growing a part from they’re own language, your asking alot of them. I guess it literally doesn’t effect them much…

I think the nobara updater works with yum. You should be able to access to the yum update history and find out what audio related packages got installed in the update and downgrade those. Anything with pipewire or alsa in the package name for example

Kernel 6.11 has been super buggy for me. About 3 weeks ago Nobara rolled out that kernel if I’m not mistaken. Do you still have a 6.10 grub option to try out? Since the live usb works that could be the issue.

If all your boot entries are 6.11, boot into the oldest and downgrade that

Wild idea: in certain situations corporate institutions are legally handled as individuals. Climate change and it’s effects have been scientifically and undeniably linked to hightened CO2 emissions. We have stats that corporations are the root cause for like 70% of those emissions. On those grounds, shouldn’t it be possible for insurance companies, that have to pay a good chunk of those damages, to go after the main guilty parties? Let the corpos battle it out.

Simplex is pretty nice, but to me XMPP already does all that you described, and metadata isn’t that important to me. Plus XMPP has better clients for mobile and desktop

Good point

Things I agree with:

• fuck Israel

Things I disagree with:

• Israel has amassed such an arsenal, it can continue this shit on it’s own for a good while. An arms embargo would still be appropriate though
• Voters are demanding a cease fire and have been for a long time. No one is scared. A lot of people have enough national problems to worry about, that they put first
• it’s carte blanche, carte is feminine

How do you dl them? yt-dlp is asking to pass credentials as well.

That’s just trading hurricanes with wildfires

Useless??? Ever since the pandemic and the need for a robust remote work infrastructure, the amount of cybersecurity related job offers has exploded. And they’re very well paid where I live.

It speaks volumes about humanity, that the solution to climate change is fucking around with nature, fully knowing, that fucking around with nature is the root cause of the issues to begin with

The bikes would still be shipped from india because it’s cheaper. So the OPs question stays the same. Would you be willing to buy a bike that’s 3 times the price because it’s been built locally. Statistics show that most people wouldn’t. So no, most people wouldn’t change their lifestyle to combat climate change. Should they? Obviously, since living a modest life is better than burning alive or drowning. Although in all fairness, people might be more willing to spend money to combat climate change if corpocrats wouldn’t be gobbling up every bit of wealth like fucking ghouls.

I’ve seen the effects on invidious these past days. 8 in 10 instances have been broken. Google is putting some serious work into shutting alternate frontends down. Shows you how much of a dent they’re putting in the bottom line.
