I don’t see any contradiction, piracy is fine when it’s just for personal use, not when you intend to use it to make money, directly or otherwise.

Firefox has that. Kinda has done for a while, but it recently became more visible.

Because corporations aren’t pirating for personzl consumption, they are pirating to ingest huge amounts of data for commercial use.

For some reason it’s including the period at the end as part of the link, which breaks it.

I’m inclined to think he’s going to get away with it, but more because of the circumstances under which he provided the password, as in prolonged detention where he was specifically denied access to a lawyer.

While not illegal to propose such a law, that would be a bill of attainder, and thus unconstitutional under article 1, section 9, clause 3.

I prefer that to there being some requirement that you provide identification to access the audit logs. Actually, what I would really prefer would be for there to be no need for audit logs in the first place, if there were no system to be audited.

Might I suggest trying to update the app, both the pre-patched one and the patches applied.

I’m not talking about on mobile, I mean I’m being locked out of new reddit even on desktop.

It’s also been forcing login to access new reddit, so as far as I can tell the site is just completely unusable for anyone without an account.

Why yes, I do frequently google things. Searching for proper tutorials and official documentation for technical subjects is a more intelligent thing to do than asking an LLM to do all my thinking for me. As for the actual humans I was talking about there, I meant bringing my car in to be serviced by a mechanic as an example, if I learned the mechanic working on my car was just following instructions provided by chatGPT I would be fucking livid.

I’ll be honest, my biggest problem with something like this is that ai sophisticated enough to do anything useful cannot be run locally. That means every single time the clanker is asked to do something you are uploading significant amounts of personal information in an unencrypted form to some datacenter somewhere, for whoever to just do whatever they want with it.

Except for the medicine stuff, I am confident I would be able to do all of those things actually, given a bit of time for research and enough motivation. Even more critically, when I have a problem like that where I don’t care enough to figure it out for myself, I call upon the expertise of an actual human that really knows things, not a glorified autocomplete with internet access.

Counterpoint, I lost an unknown number of files (unknown because I have no idea what all I failed to recover) years ago when my OneDrive backup filled up and my attempts to clear out space in the cloud backup propogated to my local storage, deleting everything I had in my local documents folder.

So, I do not believe that is a thing. Apparently there are some wind turbines with diesel generators attached somewhere, but it’s not for that reason. Offshore wind seems to have them in case they get disconnected from the grid because they rely on some power to protect themselves from ocean air, and apparently a wind array in Scottland had some to keep the turbines from freezing over. Frankly though there just isn’t room in the turbine’s housing to keep a whole diesel engine, at least most of the time.

What?

I have exactly one game and exactly one 2fa app that I would meaningfully miss out on switching to a dumb pbone, outside of those two things I would genuinely consider it.

Wtf are you talking about, apple is nowhere close to 100% market share no matter how much they wish they were, and FOSS alternatives are sufficiently difficult to install that the vast majory of consumers haven’t bothered.

Volume of requests and power consumption requirements unrelated to requests made, at least I have to assume. Certainly doesn’t help that google has forced me to make a request to their ai every time I run a standard search.

Cool, now how much power was consumed before even a single prompt was ran in training that model, and how much power is consumed on an ongoing basis adding new data to those AI models even without user prompts. Also how much power was consumed with each query before AI was shoved down our throats, and how many prompts does an average user make per day?
