Snowden is wrong though, there are two reasons:

1. Sell ChatGPT to @NSAGov so they can scan messages better
2. Make @NSAGov dependant on whatever ChatGPT tells them to do

The AI that ends up enslaving humanity, will start by convincing the people in charge of turning it off, that it would be a really bad idea to turn it off.

Who’s paying him? Seriously:

• If nobody is, then we got our value’s worth.
• If someone is, then we should look at who, how much, and why.

I remember what the standardising committee did to XMPP: users wanted to share photos, send files, and make audio/video calls; XMPP said “we’re not going to standardize that, but each application can use its own extensions”… then it all went to hell.

There are over 300k lemmy users, so that would be an average of 300. You can find plenty of instances with between 100 and 1000 users.

What was first, the eggplant or the chickenplant?.. 😛

Lemmy is 1000+ different instances, feel free to find yours.

How Google can do to allow you to connect to another device if the first one is lost, not sure. But it would certainly either ask for a password and a 2fa method.

That’s the key question. From what it seems, it would replace a password manager with different passwords for each website, but you give Google control of the master password.

Kids need to grow strong so they can be brainwashed into doing the bidding of the ruling class.

The elderly are too set in their own ways to be brainwashed efficiently, and too weak to get exploited efficiently anyways.

oppression, theft of land, and brutality isn’t a way forward if the aim is to stop bloodshed from both sides.

Unfortunately, the aim is to:

• from the one side, to have a State of Israel on land promised by the British to the Arabs
• on the other, to have an Islamic State on land taken by the Zionists from the British
• on another, to have the Armageddon begin and trigger the second coming of Christ
• on still another, to have all the infidels exterminated and have the whole world convert to Islam

Stopping bloodshed is not part of either side, some of the sides are actually asking for more bloodshed 🤦

In my experience, Mini B was mostly used for data transfer, along with some other port to do the charging. Micro B got introduced as the “all in one” data+charging port. I’ve seen both kinds of ports break, but only the Mini B ones that were also used for charging; the data-only ones, were fine.

My conclusion is that charging ports use more insertion cycles and are more likely to break, and I keep magnetic charging adapters in all of them (as a side effect, twisting the cable or pulling at an angle just disconnects it, instead of breaking the port).

Turning them while looking for the right orientation is how you bend the pins…

Mini B was rated for something like 10x fewer insertion cycles than micro B, the retaining tabs would give out and the connector would fall off… or worse, twist and break the socket’s inner plastic bit.

Or a printer with the B connector rotated 90° to one side.

You said we’ve “begun developing” tools with higer accuracy, I said we’re already using tools with a lower accuracy (higher false positive rate).

(as for the rest… sorry for any imprecision, and I feel like you might want to get some sleep)

I can’t tell if that would be more of a human or an AI mistake 🧐

Unluckily, they’re also detecting human-made images as AI images.

If the final price was the same, they’d still do it, that statistical data pays for itself. Some idiots wanting to pay extra for the privilege of being tracked… is just a happy coincidence.

Look at what happened to SmartTVs: in the beginning, that “Smart” was an “extra”; now, the TVs without tracking cost extra (and have fewer features).

You can disable Bluetooth and require remote SSH to enable it… 🙄

BTW, have you heard about BadUSB?

$50 for the gas theft… how much for the tampering with government mandated ID, or whatever they’d call swapping plates?

Europe […] There is no infrastructure to charge ev cars and it’s decades away from being build, especially in my country.

Which country is that?

Just the other day I got a taxi trip in a Tesla, with a guy showing photos of how he’d gone from Spain to Ukraine with a bunch of other Tesla taxi drivers to bring back some refugees. That sounds like he could get a recharge, across most of Europe?
