  • OpenAI considered alerting Canadian police about school shooting suspect months ago

    Jump

  • I think this should piss off a lot of people. Instead of doing something, they opted to do nothing, and now they're exploiting the tragedy as a PR opportunity. They're trying to shape their public image as an all-powerful arbiter. Worship the AI, or they will allow death to come to you and your family.

    Or perhaps this is all just rage bait, to get us talking about this piece of shit company, to postpone the inevitable bursting of the AI bubble.

    Edit: This is a sales pitch from OpenAI to the RCMP, with them saying they'll sell police forces an intelligence feed. It just comes across as horribly tone deaf and is problematic for so many reasons.

  • I'm confident someone has done a price model comparing doing these "fake sales" vs. "real sales" vs. "no sales", ergo it is possible to quantify the damages. Smart/big businesses don't make decisions without doing the math first and then testing the price strategy, and that diligence could have been used against them to determine damages.

  • Alternatives to Mattermost

    Jump

  • I'm late to the party here, but did you consider just paying for Mattermost? If it meets your needs, and your organization has 250 people, the cost for licensing is going to be relatively small compared to your IT budget (right?). They have "contact us" pricing, which means you can negotiate it.

  • Silent Storage Solutions for Homelab?

  • As others said, spin down the drives when they're not in use. Make sure power saving is enabled on the drives and tune them to spin down after some appropriate amount of time. (hdparm lets you customize it on Linux)

    Consider also sleeping the NAS when not in use. You can try using Wake-on-LAN to remotely wake it up when you need to use it. Saves on electricity and heat! You could also sleep it on a schedule, in case you need to be online for backups to run at particular times.

  • Licensing representation matters

    It doesn't, because they're the copyright owners. Think of their software as dual licensed: They run it themselves under a proprietary license, under which they reserve all rights. That has nothing to do with the AGPL version that they license to you. The AGPL doesn't take away the rights they have as copyright owners, nor does it preclude dual licensing.

    (Are you a bot? Your reply is written like ChatGPT, and it has that self-defeating logic that ChatGPT has sometimes.... eg. you wrote that you disagree with me, but then parroted the exact thing that I said.)

  • Rybbit - Open source Google Analytics replacement

    Jump

  • This is flat out wrong. If you're the copyright owner, you're not licensing the code to yourself. The AGPL is the license under which they're making the open source version available to YOU. The version they run themselves is proprietary.

  • Literally nothing in this quote makes any sense. It's 100% bullshit FUD that these sketchy VPN companies use to convince non-technical people to use them, like virus scanners back in the day.

    Your ISP doesn't get any ad revenue or tamper with your traffic. Everything is HTTPS encrypted now and cannot be modified by your ISP (at least without you seeing a giant warning in your browser). Your ISP has nothing to do with the ads you see on the web.

  • Ontario to ban research testing on dogs and cats, premier says

    Jump

  • That's a terrible way to do it because you and me and 99.999% of the population are not qualified to make the decision about that and understand the very difficult but ethical rationale behind it.

  • Thanks for confirming you're arguing in bad faith.

  • How is that fear unfounded when a politician can snap their fingers and target your research with this populist bullshit? There already is a process to ensure this research is justified. We shouldn't allow political interference in science. It sets a horrible precedent and opens the door for worse. Ford's actions undermine public trust in science, which is terrible (look south of the border).

  • How an act of defiance by Air Canada's flight attendants was a win for labour rights

  • public sectors unions have entered the chat

  • Air Canada union says flight attendants will continue strike, defy government

  • That's CRTC logic!

  • I agree with the first part, but paying for the commute doesn't make sense because YOU choose where you live. Your employer doesn't get a say at all in where you live. It's not part of the job. Also, if employers were paying for your commute, good luck getting a job if you live in the suburbs and have to commute, because now you're more expensive to hire than people who live closer.

  • Alternatives to Visa and Mastercard?

    Jump

  • To use Wero, both the sender and recipient must have an account at one of our bank members in Germany, Belgium or France (source)

    No Canadian bank or credit union offers JCB cards.

    Basically the only option is Interac, but it only works inside Canada. If you want to use your Canadian debit card internationally, it's going to go through an American payment network like Cirrus, Maestro, or the Plus network (ie. MasterCard or Visa's network).

  • Dude you need to chill out, make friends with some women, and touch grass in the real world. You're a left-wing incel basically, from what you've written, you just don't realize it. Just unplug from the internet for a while and chill out. Whatever happens on the internet is usually not reflective of the real world, just keep that in mind.

    Edit: I wrote exactly 12 words to you, and that makes you think I'm an "ignorant idealist" and have blood on my hands.............?
