Oh sure, thats a miscommunication error then.

I wouldnt call it stealing myself but i can find myself in your definition.

Maybe in some perspective but could not be further from mine.

All non personal Informations should be free.

Code is just information, who is one person to tell me i cannot arrange letters and words in a certain order because they did it first.

In context, i was already firmly opposed to the concept of copyright long before llms became consumer accesible. Imitation is the greatest honor someone csn receive.

I often get a question about “means to live”when i mention that. In short i think all people deserve the means to live comfortably regardless of economic output or labor.

I dont propose to change the current system overnight though, i would need to write a couple of books to fully explain the gradual transformation to the zero profit society i envision.

Expert?

Gamers often use “pro” which comes from profesional, i never really saw a connection with money there.

My subjective opinion is that yeah it is unethical, but not more then so many other things we normalised.

Systematicly slaughtering animals for meat for example.

I am not a vegitarian by any means. You cannot fight on all fronts at once and have to pick your own battles in context of your own lifes challenges.

Cars poison the air and kill many people, i dont drive a car for that reason because thats a fight i can fight. I have sensativities with food, so i am not cutting out meat. (I aim to do so some day)

I moved to linux some years ago by getting help from an llm which requires datacenters build by malicious companies. I don’t have a google or meta account and my cloud and media is hosted locally on recycled hardware. Where for others those services require datacenters build by malicious companies.

Life is various shades of grey.

Almost anyone can cut and paste a face on a different body using a classic photo editor.

It still takes a profesional to do it in a way that delivers a quality result.

Linus Torvalds is a professional, the linux terminal is his baby, if we can trust anyone on this, its him.

The amateurs using ai to produce slop that resembles what we perceive as quality, is sometimes hard to tell but 25 years ago people though half life 1 looked insanely realistic and that graphics could not possibly look any more real. Over time our brains will adapt and we will be able to tell slop from real work in a heartbeat. I bet most people here can already tell if a mail was written by an llm and not audited by a human with ease.

Does the signal bot need its own phone number?

Having done a few clicks to look into why this specific article is gendered.

Cybernews is reporting an article By NL times

The article by NL times was already gendered.

NL Times has wrote other non gendered articles on this issue but this article was prompted by a lawsuit being prepared by Offlimits

Offlimits is an organization that combats sexual abuse.

The context of this Lawsuit is the discovery of telegram and other channels for the distribution of “creepshots”, often sexually pictures taken from compromising angles.

The victims of these creepshots are almost always women.

Its similar to catcalling. It does happen to both genders but if it happens to men its a noticeable rare event. By the time a women reaches adulthood its another tuesday.

You may not be aware of this or do it intentionally but responding “what about the men” when the topic focuses on “women” is a common frustration online.

The reverse scenario, where the focus is men rarely gets a comment “how about women”

You’re technically not wrong though, everyone could be affected and i do expect journalistic pieces to be inform more broadly about an issue, but the issue does seem to disproportionally affect people who appear to be women and its also fair to note this difference.

I am sure there is no ill will on your part but i have seen online “fights” break out over this pattern. At first it confused me but once you understand it, you notice it everytime even when the post is by and for women and posted on a women focused community it will get a comment like this.

There are enough articled and discussions calling out the meta privacy issue in a non gendered way. The few adressing women are not harming any man.

All of it is strings of ones and zeros that are instructions that tell my computer what to display.

Its basic freedom of speech. Imagine not beign able to give instructions in other contexts because you didn’t pay to use the words.

Its not a public pack sorry But the changelogs for some mods speak for themselves no human does 20 seperate release updates in a day and comments every sentence with an emoticon

I put together a new modpack for minecraft this year and from that i can verify that this comment definitely checks out.

Oh i fully agree, thats definitely important content irl.

But thats not how i read this law, sounds like even found consuming at home it would count.

Its also specifically the contrast. Maximum 5y yail or maximum 10K fine. Therefor 1y jailed is worth $2K

Sounds a lot like the rich can do what they want and the poor get long turn punishment. Not much different then today actually.

Till at some point in time the value of freedom was estimated to be $2000 a year.

I dislike how normalized consumption poison still is but spending 5 years for the crime of putting something unhealthy inside your own body is insane.

The actual fuck? I didn’t know this, how is that even legal…

You don’t need to run macos on that older machine.

I distinctly remember how at some point the “best all around laptop for running windows” was a MacBook pro,

Ofc by now more people are catching on they are much bettered served with linux…

I hope not.

I think i can still trust my devices to not be actively listening trough every hole. I can, right?

As far as i could research it is technically feasible though very impractical and low quality, way easier to sell people voice command features instead.

As i understand it also depends on whether its a “active” speaker or not, has an amplifier behind it.

Tvs usually use a speaker array, a bad actor company could design it in a way that one or two of those can be used to record sound in case the microphone is no longer detected.

An ad collector wouldn’t go that far on purpose, a state intelligence operator who is covertly part of the company might.

Can you help me understand why i got downvotes for posting the following comment in this very same community 2 days ago?

I am not saying the following happens, i think there is no proof it happens, but its technically doable.

They are capable of scanning for local networks and bluetooth devices which can be used to identify a location. (This part they definitely do)

If your neighbour has an lg tv, or the presence of the tv is extracted through your phone. Then they know where it is and they also know of any open/public wifi networks around.

The researchers from gamers nexus can connect to 2 (ssid) networks at once for some reason.

In theory a neighbours lg tv could broadcast their wifi credentials to your tv to connect to upload the data.

Remember ye old life-hack that you can use earbuds as a microphone in a pinch?

Speakers and microphones are conceptually the same technology. If your tv can play sound then in theory it can be used by a malicious hacker or company to record sound.

Gamin nexus mentioned it somewhere in their long video.

These devices do send encrypted information to their corporate masters we cannot know if it happens, but with what we know what these devices do we can conclude they designed to do stuff like that.
