In a way it is already acting like a CEO, LLMs basically just repeat what everyone else they read was saying, just like CEOs do with the latest hyped thing.
No, they are literally not. Blocking VPN users is literally the low effort thing to do because the rate of problematic attacks and similar high effort issues coming from those IPs is much higher than the few legitimate users using VPNs are worth.
But that is the point. Most people do not use VPNs, you harm very few legitimate customers and save yourself the headache of dealing with all those who use VPNs for scams, attacks, exploits,...
The trade-off is entirely different from dynamic IPs.
Also, the admins running those things don't do stuff to look like they are doing things, they wouldn't care if you use a VPN if there was no downside to treating VPN IPs like any other.
the info required was there already, just you needed to put effort in
Not really. This is mostly what this is all about. The companies are insisting that open source projects should do analysis of security impacts in addition to fixing the bugs whenever some "security researcher" runs some low effort fuzzing or static analysis thing that produces large numbers of bug reports and assigns CVEs to them without the consent of the project. The problem is that such an impact analysis is significant effort (often orders of magnitude more than the fix itself) by people with deep knowledge about the code bases and only really useful to the customers of those companies who want to selectively update instead of just applying all the latest fixes.
I find it incredibly disruptive every time this page comes up and it's never completely capable of restoring my tabs. Is there any way to disable it so that it will instead update when I choose to restart Firefox?
People who see it as an immature way to communicate won't use the words at all. People who are actually immature despite growing up will use the word and think it makes a difference if they put an asterisk in there instead of spelling it out.
While true essentially forking the latest stable version of the kernel to make an LTS branch or a vendor version only multiplies the problem, it also does not contribute to solving it.
Safari is also just one of the forks of the KHTML/WebKit/Blink codebase Chrome is based on. Admittedly they probably implement some of the stuff they do implement themselves too because the common ancestor version is quite a long time ago now.
So in the whole anti-natalism/pro-natalism conversation (which I'm mostly agnostic/undecided on, currently), my friend who is a pro-natalist, argued that the success/stability of our world economy is dependent on procreating more children each year than the previous year, so that we not only replace the numbers of the people who...
There are also many things we consume only because marketing makes us want them even though we have no real need for them. And many jobs producing completely useless things. Not to mention waste through planned obsolescence, DRM, patents and similar mechanisms that artificially reduce the usefulness of goods below its natural level. We could easily produce everything we need with a fraction of the current work force.
I'm working on a side project studying variations in human facial features. It's been helpful to study celebrity faces because it's easy to find numerous reference photos. I've actually got a fairly good range of weird looking white men, turns out Hollywood is pretty flush with those, but it's been harder to find unique looking...
You might be able to find some more unique looks by searching for terms like mixed heritage, often children with unusual combinations of ethnicities also have facial features that are not often seen in the countries where the individual ethnicities are common.
I can understand the argument against GitHub in two contexts, one is when people build features into their software that assume GitHub, e.g. when a programming language assumes it can just prepend github.com/ to your repo to find it and the other is the argument that losing GitHub would be a huge blow because so many projects are there and only there so a lot of things would have to be done at once if that ever happened.
Can you name an open platform that actually does distribute PRs and issues? I know there were a few that tried but I mean one that actually succeeded and is usable by people who just want to report a bug?
Also, your issues and pull requests are much more likely to be lost in your self-hosted one project instance than on GitHub if anything happens to you.
Forgefed seems to be ActivityPub based which, judging by Lemmy, doesn't solve the redundancy issue at all, it just allows you to interact with the content hosted in a single place from your own single place, giving you two single points of failure and two points where you can be tracked instead of one. This is not really the same kind of distributed as git repositories.
The term "single point of failure" means that only that point has to fail for the entire system to become unusable. You can easily have more than one of those in a system though.
I could be up and running in like 10 minutes to install Forgejo or Gitea
You could maybe do that but only because you already know how unlike most developers and you completely dismiss any active maintenance like updates, moderation, debugging performance issues, resizing storage,...
Yeah, the whole commenting won't work if the server where the repo is hosted fails or the server where the person has an account. There is no redundancy.
I've been using RealVNC for family computer help and have been wanting to setup a self hosted replaced for a while now, but haven't had the time. RealVNC has recently axed their free levels, so I'll use it as a reason to setup a self hosted solution....
That is not quite how that works. The effect can apply to separate fields of knowledge or separate skill sets separately. You might actually know what you are talking about when it comes to e.g. plumbing but only think you do when it comes to e.g. IT systems.
It is not so much that the court says it is suspected of terrorism as that the agency responsible for monitoring that says so and the AfD tried to use the court to get rid of that label and failed.
A crisis at the key US service for ranking vulnerabilities has been fueled by short resources and an explosion of security flaws as the volume of software production increases.
This article seems full of people in deep denial about the fact that the whole scoring and prioritizing aspect takes significantly more effort than fixing the vulnerabilities and is only of interest to the kind of large corporation who wants to use old versions (i.e. wants to be selective about which changes to an upstream project they use) but who isn't willing to pay for the extra effort.
but we have an oxygen atmosphere not a chlorine one, so it’s gonna be oxygen.
Could also be fluorine but there are other good reasons not to use anything involving that as a fuel
“It is, of course, extremely toxic, but that’s the least of the problem. It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers, not to mention asbestos, sand, and water-with which it reacts explosively. It can be kept in some of the ordinary structural metals-steel, copper, aluminium, etc.-because of the formation of a thin film of insoluble metal fluoride which protects the bulk of the metal, just as the invisible coat of oxide on aluminium keeps it from burning up in the atmosphere. If, however, this coat is melted or scrubbed off, and has no chance to reform, the operator is confronted with the problem of coping with a metal-fluorine fire. For dealing with this situation, I have always recommended a good pair of running shoes.”
― John Drury Clark, Ignition!: An informal history of liquid rocket propellants
I think that bit was about Chlorine Trifluoride but I might be misremembering.
Counterpoint, most of the world does not have access to "middle of nowhere" regions with lots of sunlight, that is just Australia and a few places near major deserts.
Do you think no one involved in any of those projects has realised that it’s not possible to store hydrogen?
You say that as if it is completely ridiculous but have you seen how many companies jumped onto impractical technologies like the hyperloop or self-driving cars or even replacing half their workforce with LLM-based AIs?
I wonder how representative that is of actual software used. I would imagine hardware probes are run from installers and live systems quite frequently. I would certainly not expect several percentage points of "neither" in practical settings.
Yeah, but when was the last time you decided to upload hardware device data for a root server to some hardware survey? That is something almost exclusively done by the kind of people who want to show off their system in some way.
Any of those 2,034 people can push malware to Fedora
Maybe, but that is still a significantly higher bar than allowing everyone to publish a package the way most language specific package repositories work (or just use any random github repo even like some others).
Allowing commercial inside residential areas the way most countries outside the US do could help the US too. That way people wouldn't need a car for basic necessities.
I've been feeling uneasy about the privacy implications of using Lemmy and similar platforms. The ability for anyone to view your entire posting history feels to me like publicly sharing my browser history. In contrast, most other social media platforms allow you to limit your feed visibility to just friends or followers....
You could argue that content (as opposed to person) focused forums or message boards that allow anonymous posts are probably the closest to private social media.
I don't think deleting old posts or comments can really be relied on to hide your data. Once it is out there it ends up in search indices, web archives,... so while it is a good additional safety mechanism it shouldn't mean that you should freely post personal stuff.
It shouldn't come as a big surprise that <people who hate group x no matter what group x does> also oppose <specific thing a specific subset of group x does>. That is not an argument for or against criticizing that specific thing.
Not only that but that is also true for all the other management positions in between CEO and the team and project managers down at the level where the actual work is done. They are all too focused on their on personal gain and career advancement.

All those same marketing techniques are also employed with actual elections.
My point was that "voting with your wallet" works, it is not a flaw in the method, it is a flaw in the low number of people employing it that it achieves so little. It is inherently no worse than all the other things you could do that you can't convince anyone else to join you in when protesting company's behavior. In fact I would go so far as to say that convincing yourself that you did something and then still buying their product is actually just giving in to those very same dark patterns you mention.
