Seems like a strong argument for dedicated hardware to me. Something card shaped 😉

Wheres their letter to Israel and their north american colony…?

Copyright law needs to change with things becoming public domain much sooner than the currently do, but… If a bunch of billionaires want to profit off someone elses work by using material to train AI, they can bloody well pay fairly for that use, or accept if the owner of that material refuses to permit/license them.

The basic premise that there is some universally accepted ‘need’ to train ai models is just not one i can see as valid.

I don’t think I understand this. I don’t actually want to pay with my phone, so thats a non-problem to me, but when I can access my bank with a browser on any pc in the world, why do they need attestation on a mobile? I dont see why the requirement is inconsistent.

Now he needs to tell them that any use of UK based facilities for aggression against a sovereign state will result in an order for all US personnel to gtfo until their adminstration can behave.

I find it irritating that element’s website promotes their origins as the creators of matrix but doesnt anywhere actually give names that could be researched. Yes i could get the directors details from Companies House but frankly its just easier for me to move on and not use their software.

We once had empires, ruled by emperors

And we had kingdoms, ruled by kings.

Now we have countries…

This is also a pattern…

good example that works well on a data minimisation basis when they the need is for some indication of age appropriated trust. There are limits to it though. - to actually satisfy age-gates/verification they would also need to tie your identity to the ownership of the card, and ensure the card isn’t some kind of under 18 prepaid affair.

This is ridiculous and clearly shows both nefarious intent and complete disregard for the GDPR and it’s core principle of data minimisation. There must be a simpler solution to this - maybe through attestation from a trusted third party who has already (legitimately) verified the user’s identity - like a bank. Imagine a user creating and providing a token that allows a one-time request through the open banking standards to receive an attestation on whether or not the user is over 18 - without disclosing the users actual dob or any other personal information except who and how the attestation was made. Not sure if it would even be necessary for companies to store precisely when the attestation was made if the banks themselves record the event.

Apologies for misinterpreting. If you’re games focussed then by all means try mint, but Bazzite might be a simpler implementation.

This might be useful as a intro reference point for your investigations: https://www.xda-developers.com/bazzite-has-me-reconsidering-windows/

I’m sure you could dual boot that as easily as mint.

per the article: “OpenClaw as installed could read credentials from ~/.openclaw/, execute shell commands via its Gateway API, and install itself as a persistent system daemon surviving reboots1. The severity was debated - Endor Labs characterised the payload as closer to a proof-of-concept than a weaponised attack5 - but the mechanism is what matters. The next payload will not be a proof-of-concept.”

I’m not a technical fella, but while this case didn’t seem to do much for the attacker, I’d guess that the openclaw could be instructed after install as part of the same postinstall routine, or it could be triggered at a later date to do something via some form of prompt injection… either way the point would seem to be the application of a new attack mechanic.

Dual boot with something linux - i can suggest and recommend mint. Thats what i did, and although i still need to boot into windows for work purposes, there is no software that i need privately that requires windows. So my old laptop and media pc run Mint exclusively, and my main pc is dual boot, using Mint for everything but work. I envy your opportunity as a retired sort, to raise two fingers at microslop and any software provider that wont develop cross platform solutions.

Moto flip phone with GOS? sign me up. Should not have to choose between form factor and operating system.

Limitations of gecko. They’ve covered their reasons before https://grapheneos.org/usage#web-browsing

Edit to add. I think the browser of choice debate differs significantly depending on the OS in use.

I wish vanadium was available independently of Graphene

seems to me that one way federation is the right answer/solution. Let fediverse users retreive threads content, but dont serve up fediverse content to help meta keep threads users locked in.

Can we get some legislation that forces all her books to be stamped on the cover with the words: “This book is brought to you by Epstein money and the suffering of women and children trafficked for abuse and rape” For the first time in my life I actually think burning books might be more appropriate than reading them.

I get the proving our case perspective but… I hate that proving the case involves driving even a little more of the AI systems planet burning energy and water consumption to ask these things questions that nobody needs a computer to answer just to prove that these things are a bit shit… Just remember, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence; all the AI bros should be held to that standard.
Our collective claim that AI is kinda shit is not extraordinary, and is best proven by just walking away because AI is just not very useful.
