I feel like I woke up in the stupidest timeline where climate change is about to kill us, we decide stupidly to 10x our power needs by shoving LLMs down everyone’s throats, and the only solution to stay private is to 10x our personal LLM usage by generating tons of noise about us just to stay private. So now we’re 100x ing everyone’s power usage and we’re going to die even sooner.
I think your idea is interesting – I was also thinking that same thing awhile back – but how tf did we get here.
I’m having a hard time keeping up with all the lawsuits against them, but I think they already got hit by a judge for malicious compliance. From what I remember the judge came down pretty hard on them for that malicious compliance. I feel like they are just going to look at this and be like “obviously you are missing the point, so we are going to have to make the regulations even stricter”.
It’s crazy how engaging and well done Veritasium videos are and they’re just free to watch on YouTube.
But where do you drop into? The condition doctor? The car mechanic?
I’m working on a Lemmy client and I occasionally browse main stream social media to check the robustness of my app vs theirs. But I find myself enjoying mainstream less and less as I settle more into Lemmy.
Ironically if these “Christians” actually followed the 10 commandments we wouldn’t be in half the mess we’re in.
As if SoundCloud’s “no AI” tag will actually stop anyone from scraping and training on SoundCloud music.
My motivation was mostly to ditch Amazon, but in the process I discovered ko reader is both better than Amazon’s reader and does a really good job turning PDFs into readable books.
Someone else pointed out it’s not that difficult to boot Linux on your Chromebook off a thumb drive. A quick search shows it might be slightly complicated but seems pretty doable depending on your model.
Listen I hate Google, but this still seems like a dumb take. There are better things to criticize them for: illegal monopolization of search through anticompetitive practices, making their search product worse on purpose, having no respect for people’s privacy, literally removing their slogan to not be evil, etc).
Probably windows 🤮
I think there were jailbreaks that could be done on device, but if I remember correctly this wasn’t one of them. I forget the exact year/iOS version. I wanna say I jailbroke 3 iOS versions in a row, and at that point new things had captured my interest. Eventually I found myself captivated with frontend development.
You can find my latest work at https://blorpblorp.xyz/, the obviously best client for Lemmy and soon PieFed.
This is kinda a bad take imo. I don’t think it’s chrome books that has ruined tech literacy. Maybe it’s younger exposure to even more addictive social media than previous generations?
I’m pretty young. My first mobile device was an iPod touch 4th gen. I figured out how to jailbreak it and I was like 12 at the time. If I ever felt one of these walled garden devices was holding me back, I enjoyed finding a creative solution around that. Since that iPod touch, I jailbroke my Wii and recently a kindle. I also modded a gameboy, but that was different than jailbreaking.
Recently bought a leatherman skeletool. It’s so compact and the perfect amount of utility for me. And it doubles as a fidget toy.
it said good, not safe. It will still kill you but in a good way
