In fucked up places, people just live day to day and are in survival mode. I believe I have once read something that goes along the lines of “poorer demographics generally have tendency to make more children because they think that more children is the most sure way to secure their near future for when they get older”

I think it’s simpler than that. Nothing to do when you’re poor and overworked so you just fuck. Oh, and less caring about the consequences.

Yeah it was funny to read :

“Based on the limited nature of the customer information believed to be involved, we determined that individual notifications were not warranted under applicable privacy laws,” the Suno spokesperson added.

But then (talking about the hacker):

They said they also accessed Suno’s customer list, which included customers’ emails and/or phone numbers and Stripe payment details, depending on what they used to login. The hacker provided a sample of some of the customers, some of whom confirmed to 404 Media they had used their phone number to sign up for Suno and said they were never notified of a breach.

I guess email address, phone and payment details don’t matter enough to notify people.

My browser clears all cookies from Reddit when I close it down. And every time I go to the new Reddit site, it auto logs me in with my Google account. In some other sites there’s the annoying “log in with google account” popup at the top; it doesn’t do anything if you don’t click to log in. But Reddit doesn’t ask. Just says: “Logging you in” and you can click cancel if you’re fast enough.

They even auto create you an account if they do this for the first time.

Awhile ago they were also experimenting forcing mobile users to use the app

And now they’re also rolling out age verification in the EU (just got an email yesterday). One of the ways to verify your age is with Persona which Discord also tried to use and got a lot of backslash.

I use bash and it did throw that error, however the find . | egrep *.py example at the end did not.

I could never get much into online gaming because it’s a full time job keeping up with the meta and if you are not highly skilled you are just cannon fodder.

Some, yes, but certainly not all of them.

I’ve been playing The Finals and it’s a great casual game. I think I average like 6 hours a week or something. The matches are short, toxicity is low and its fun. Most of its player-base are casuals, a lot of console players. And it’s designed in a way that even if you have bad teammates or lose you can still have a lot of fun since the main game-mode is 3v3v3 or 3v3v3v3, has fun movement and a completely destructible environment. Just blowing shit up is enough enjoyment on its own.

I don’t think they went through with it.

I remember reading a related article reclaimthenet

This same Home Office served Apple with a secret order, a Technical Capability Notice, demanding a backdoor into end-to-end encrypted iCloud backups, first for every human on the planet and later, after Washington threw a tantrum, for British users alone. Secret being the operative word, since the law gagged Apple from so much as admitting the order existed.

Apple’s answer was to rip its strongest encryption out of the UK entirely rather than build the thing, sniffing that it has “never built a backdoor or master key to any of our products or services,” and the fight is still grinding through the courts. That is the track record of this government, one that asks one company, in the dark, to dismantle encryption for an entire nation is not a government you hand a camera-side scanner and trust to use it gently.

I’m interested why flathub > AUR? I try to minimize AUR usage but always assumed it’s better than flathub?

I was thinking the same thing recently. It’s not the place it once was. But in general the internet has changed a lot. And it’s not just AI.

1. All sorts of paywalls especially in news sites.
2. Everything is getting centralized into a few sites and they’re usually eithe poorly indexable or not at all (Discord, facebook, X, Instagram and so on)
3. Fediverse (Lemmy, Mastodon) also struggles with search engines.
4. People trying to sell you shit, create a brand even more than before. Because of this all sorts of SEO optimization crap is done like writing BS articles nobody cares about.
5. AI slop.
6. Search engines have gotten better of getting rid of “illegal stuff”.
7. A lot of sites are just presentational bloat with no substance. Very cool looking landing pages with all sorts of cool animations but when you need to actually find the information that you need… the same UI usually gets in the way.

Oh and now we’re getting into age verification crap also yay

That’s why it’s titled “It’s a ticking time bomb for enterprise” not necessarily for AI companies.

A decent article about enterprise depending on AI subscriptions and a discussion on hackernews.

This looks great ! Thanks for sharing.

Hol up … 10 GB?

In 10 years you will say the same thing about today :)

Out from one fire into another…

It’s mostly novelty. But wears off eventually when you start noticing very obvious patterns emerge in the way it answers and quality degrades significantly as context size grows. It also will always talk to you in the way YOU tell it to which also becomes boring as time goes on.

It’s always funny to me how people on the news talk about AI partners and so on when you know if they have 2 brain-cells, next month they will drop this whole stupid idea. When you’re talking to it about your problems you’re just talking with yourself.
