The point is that under offering users the ability to have all network requests altered is not secure. The user needs to authorize it and there are valid reasons to do so, but there are also bad actors, that will misuse that. I am pretty security conscious, but I can’t tell you which extensions have which permissions on which devices I use, between Firefox, chrome, safari on windows 10,11, android, iOS and opensuse. Placing all the responsibility on the user just removes it from where it should be, which is privacy focused code.

Yes, but other extensions are not and can access the same permissions. They can even steal the unlock origin source code to do so.

Vikunja is free to self host. It has a polished appearance but sometimes a little rough around the edges in function. I chose it as it’s useful for tasks across multiple users.

Didn’t know that was a thing. Glad to find out. Gives purpose.

Oh, certainly LLMs are here to stay. Hopefully, they become conmoditised very quickly. But also, hopefully, the bubble bursts quickly too. Shoehorning AI into everything is dogshit. Actually using it for select reasons, where it is successful, should be great.

Already we have things like customer support phone trees that try to get rid of user interaction with scripts. AI here could be great to improve them. What’s more likely is as the tech improves, more companies use AI rather than peioke for customer support, lol. Its dystopian.

The difference, of course, is the belt sander is not purporting to be able to screw fasten. Nor will it with a future update or subscription.

Yes, but for the average user, if it confidently gives misinformation, then its worse than a search engine. It is removing the verification step of reading the source, seospam aside. The whole business model is on using it more, not selectively.

One thing the article leaves out is the costs of processing should go down over time. Hopefully, as power transitions,.it also becomes more sustainable. However, it starts to become a bit like uber and self driving cars. How long can they burn through other peoples money to undercut competitions until the actual plan becomes profitable.

But if any research source cannot be used without verification, is it really useful? I agree, we should verfiy crucial information but when its wrong often, but confidently so, using natural language is a barrier not a benefit.

Because when ghosted, some people catastrophise. If it happens a lot they start to worry about what might be wrong with them. Our brains aren’t wired for it.

So, yes, sometimes a polite lie is better than nothing. Sometimes a polite lie is better than the truth. Its not you, its me.

Closure. People lie in real life too, not just on the internet.

Which makes them even less of an authority.

Its not that it can’t happen now. Its that it will happen all the time with digital tags.

Hopefully an inflection point for:

US/Israel relations The genocidal war in palestine What’s considered an acceptable candidate The presidential race in general

Hamas is a terrorist organisation, that holds hundreds of hostages. That’s awful. Israel is a terrorist state that has killed tens of thousands, with a large portion being children. Objectively, israel is magnitudes worse, unless innocent Palestinian lives mean less?

I think you’re misinterpreting their point, europe may be slow to react, but they will. It is now past the level of civilian casualties, so the point about saying europe is slow is correct, but the tone of hopelessness is hollow.

Shouldn’t she have been disqualified if her submission broke the rules. That would have been an easy out for the organisers. Now it will be a flash point. Probably a good thing to have some public shows of support for Palestine. However, given people, I don’t doubt that there will also be antisemitism on display, not just criticism of Israel. Israel will use that to justify it’s stance internally. However, it’s clearly genocide and they should be ashamed.

Yes, but trust is required of users are not going to boot out. If it’s not opt out, that’s a risk in intself.

The problem is Microsoft have abused it. Now they claim an update is for security, but instead it just reverts settings to promote their other products.

Yes, it was better than I expected given the reviews and audience scores. It was quite pretty.

The anime is great. The recent remake is flashy but lacks the souls of the original. It wasn’t as bad as some critical and box office perform made out, but when a remake is worse than the original, what’s the point?

Oh! Pee!
