  • Past failures don't define the future of socialism

  • 13‑year‑old boy accused of “LGBT propaganda” in Russia. He now faces being sent to a special school for juvenile offenders

    Jump

  • The charges were dismissed, but he's still being sent to prison.

  • U.S. pauses $14bn Taiwan arms sale just days after Trump’s summit with Xi Jinping in China

    Jump

  • China is authoritarian. There is no way to nonviolently unify Taiwan under China, because the residents of Taiwan would be forced to live under the Chinese government, which would use violence against them.

  • Don't forget about present failures. In Russia, you still can't be gay and talk openly about it.

  • How do I type an apostrophe and use print screen on a European Spanish keyboard?

  • "You’re a distinct character" is a compliment, not an insult.

    Jump

  • You mean get Microsoft to take it down? And then it goes back up on a self-hosted git repo? This does not enable Bambu, Microsoft, or anyone else to sue Rossman in China.

  • You gotta try #19

    1. It's like eating a cracker.

    Jump

  • Does Rossman have any presence in China? If not, and if the files are hosted outside China, there's nothing China can do.

  • Unless patented, are we not in a situation in which all publicly accessible code can be laundered through LLMs? If I find a source available code, I can just launder it?

    Jump

  • Because machine learning is already basically a mass copyright infringement. The training data contains copyrighted material. The model is clearly a derivative of the training data. The output is clearly a derivative of the model. Yet somehow, it's legal (probably because they can afford good lawyers).

  • Republicans Claim Widespread Food Stamp Fraud. What’s Missing: Hard Evidence.

    Jump

  • SNAP (food stamps) covers almost nothing. If you have zero income, you get $69 per week (if you're even eligible). That isn't enough to feed a person. SNAP benefit scales linearly with income, reaching zero at $12k per year. How is a person making $12k per year supposed to make ends meet on their own?

    This program needs to be expanded, not restricted. Or replaced with a larger Universal Basic Income.

  • their anti-competitive practices

    Do you have any examples? For reference, Steam does allow developers to list games on Steam and other platforms, and even to have lower prices on the other platforms. I haven't been able to find any true examples of anti-competitive practices by Steam.

  • Gabe the GOAT Newell

    Jump

  • Yes. When I first opened my account in 2016, the second game I bought had advertised Linux support, but did not run on the first 2 distros I tested. On the third distro, it ran but I couldn't play with Windows users, so it was useless to me. I got a full refund.

  • Lemmy.ca & piefed.ca now behind anubis

    Jump

  • Name and shame. What are the useragent strings? Can the companies be identified?

    It won't affect me personally, because I already hate all AI companies. But maybe I could convince some people if I tell them what a specific company is doing.

  • Google Chrome silently installs a 4 GB AI model on your device without consent. At a billion-device scale the climate costs are insane.

    Jump

  • I have to use Windows 11 at work. Whenever I complain about it to any of my friends, they say, "it's easy to work around that. You just have to..." and then they say to modify some registry key, or set up a group policy, or run a powershell command, or use some cleaning tool.

    But even if it's easy to do that, it's not easy.

    1. You have to know about the key or the cleaning tool, and there's a different one for every problem.
    2. You have to keep up to date with the new user-hostile behavior introduced to Windows every month.
    3. You have to keep up to date because Microsoft removes those circumventions, because they don't want you to be able to remove their trash.
    4. You have to vet the tools, make sure they're not malware. And continuously make sure it's not replaced by malware in the future. There's no central repository of Windows programs like there is for Debian or Ubuntu, so if you just web search for the tool name every time, you might click on a malvertising link in the search results instead.

  • Canadian fiddler sues Google after AI Overview wrongly claimed he was a sex offender

  • It'll be amusing when he wins. It's just angering for now.

  • Avaiable Jobs

  • If you convince someone to pull the sword out of the stone, you get to be the new wizard.

  • Bernie Sanders: AI oligarchs do not want to just replace specific jobs, they want to replace the working class. We must fight back.

    Jump

  • LLMs and current generative AI won't. But there will be better AI systems in the future.

    And consider the scale of the datacenters they're building: New AI data center in Utah will generate and consume more than twice the amount of power the entire state uses. They're installing 9GW of natural gas turbines on site. They're planning for better AI that will be much different from the current batch.

    While we all know that current AI is much worse than human work, consider that they might just use it anyway, and not care that their product is shit.
