Yeah. Me choosing to use a vpn and a privacy respecting browser has earnt me a constant captcha

Copyright law also doesn’t allow them to download the entirety of a piracy database of books. But here we are, they clearly don’t care about copyright law.

I think it’s a waste tbh. Like it’s one of those capitalist things of “well its not profitable to sell so lets destroy them”, when anything made for the good of the people would’ve seen a massive opportunity to distribute books to people for free!

Me trying to hold both truths at once that Street view is an absolutely fantastic tool and that I hate google so damn much.

What is ios 26? I thought we were on ios18??

40 months is unusually short!

Mine is nearing a decade of age!

none of the companies accept a trade in because by the time i buy a new phone my phone is usually a decade old.

Yeah I turned history off. I don’t want google to have my data thanks.

The company will have to form a board-level committee devoted to overseeing the company’s regulatory compliance and antitrust risk, a rarity for US firms. This group will report directly to CEO Sundar Pichai. There will also be reforms at other levels of the company that allow employees to identify potential legal pitfalls before they affect the company. Google has also agreed to preserve communications. Google’s propensity to use auto-deleting chats drew condemnation from several judges overseeing its antitrust cases.

I guess that’s good. But it feels like slapping a bandaid on an amputated leg. Like in the grand scheme of things it won’t change anything to do with the most evil stuff google does (surveillance capitalism).

Jellyfin is basically as easy to use as plex within the same network. I’ve set up both dueing the past 6 months. The only big difference is that Jellyfin is much more of a pain to work through port forwarding.

Signal ✅

Whatsapp (for those who don’t use signal i must contact) ❌

My rule with langauge:

If you understand what they’re trying to say, then they did a good enough job expressing themselves.

(Also I love how this post is getting loads of upvotes because people are just seeing Bernie’s message and liking it lol).

I wonder if this is just because as the world has shifted rightward the training data has too.

Or if it is a genuine OpenAI policy, in this political climate it would not suprise me if they were shifting it rightwards on purpose.

It does not make me feel good that legit half of tech outlets are owned by one company.

Not everyone is using the cafe? People are allowed not to eat in a private restaurant. The availability of a bin shouldn’t be dependent on spending money.

So your entire argument is public bins are useless?

You understand that people should clean up after themselves whether or not there is a bin, but offering a bin is a useful service that greatly helps people out can be compatible right.

I dunno about you, but if I see a bin in a public area, I assume some is paid to empty it. I don’t empty it myself.

Nope Nope Nope. I do not want the government having that data. Knowing our governments, they will contract this to third parties who will almost certainly sell that data.

I also do not want elected politicians having the power to shape relationships and sexuality of the population to that degree. Too much centralised power.

Suprised to see Anthropic collecting more data than OpenAI. Their whole “ethical AI” schtick seems pretty hypocritical now.

I know we do. I’ve got thousands of wikipedia edits.

And it often isn’t as easy as just editing unfortunately. A lot of pages have overprotective people watching the changelog trying to shelter their pet theories/biases.
