  • Just Switch Over

    Jump

  • I have been playing through Elden Ring again with a friend using the seamless co-op mod and my friend on Windows gets (what we assume is) shader compilation stutter in every new area while my game has been smooth as butter.

  • So I installed Arch Linux... Is this it?

    Jump

  • There is a pretty big difference in terms of usability between Arch and everything else because of the rolling release model and the AUR. Lots of things you would have to manually install from a git repo or track down a PPA for can be installed like a normal package.

  • Crowd Cheers as Convicted Rapist is Eliminated in Olympic Beach Volleyball

  • Only because people like you refuse to change. That's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

    I don't understand why you want to be wrong so badly. What do you even gain from that? In this case using the wrong word isn't even just wrong it's objectively harmful but for some reason you want to keep doing it anyway? Why?

  • Crowd Cheers as Convicted Rapist is Eliminated in Olympic Beach Volleyball

    Jump

  • Why do you need to call him something if it's inaccurate? Just call him a child rapist and be done with it. Words have meanings and there is no reason to use them incorrectly.

    As for who it's hurting: everyone. Pedophila literally has nothing to do with rape. It is a disorder. It's estimated it effects as much as 3% of the population. The vast majority of those people have never done anything wrong. They were simply born that way. The more people conflate the medical term with crimes the less likely pedophiles are going to seek help or treatment. Nobody wants to risk being outed as part of the most hated group of people on the planet.

    If you want to actually help children instead of being angry the best course of action is to destigmatize the disorder so people can get counseling without fear of ruining their lives. Forcing people to bottle up their feelings/urges/etc. does not lead to good outcomes.

  • The majority of child molesters are not pedophiles. It is more about power dynamics / them being an easy target.

  • Google Chrome warns uBlock Origin may soon be disabled

    Jump

  • This breaks any site that uses CloudFlare's Turnstile for me. It will loop forever and never let me through if my user agent is set to Chrome.

  • Even if they fully render them into the video with absolutely no way for an extension to tell where it is something like Sponsorblock where people manually enter time codes could still get around it.

  • FOSS Alternative to Chromecast?

    Jump

  • Plasma actually has a UI for smart TVs if you weren't aware, although I have never used it myself so I'm not sure how good it is. https://plasma-bigscreen.org

  • Dutch Olympian who raped a 12-year-old girl ‘is not a paedophile’, official says

    Jump

  • I've had to explain this so many times. The majority of molesters are not pedophiles and the majority of pedophiles are not molesters. Pedophilia is a disorder, one that people suffer from at that. There is a (almost certainly) sizable group of pedophiles who have never actually done anything wrong but are caught in the crossfire of anger and therefore can't seek help/treatment.

  • What is the current state of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • I agree with the sentiment, when things get too popular every sub becomes more generic and filled with recycled or low effort content. But there's a happy medium. It would be nice if there were enough people that some more niche communities had activity.

  • Have you ever caught a marketing or spam email sent using one of your email aliases?

    Jump

  • Really? For me rspamd blocks at least 15 spam emails a day, usually from China or Russia. An additional 2-3 go to the junk folder, and some still slip through the cracks especially if it's coming from a gmail address.

    But it could be as simple as it being because my email is publicly available (github, my website, etc.) so scrapers are picking it up.

  • Canvas!

  • That's a really clever login system.

  • It should all be opt in

    Then you introduce self-selection bias and the data is worthless.

    Aggregate data can be used to personally identify

    You can't identify someone based on how they interact with a service. If you spend 5 minutes on one page and 2 minutes on another that could be anyone. Even if you for some reason personally knew someone's browsing habits it would be nearly impossible to pick them out in a sea of millions of data points.

    I see you linked privacyguides.org in the thread as "alternatives", one of the services it recommends is Proton (Mail, Drive, etc.). Look at their privacy policy:

    2.1 Visiting proton.me or protonvpn.com website: We employ a local installation of self-developed analytics tools. Analytics are anonymized whenever possible and stored locally (and not on the cloud). IP addresses are not retained and stored for such analytics.

    When you use our native applications, we (or the mobile app platform providers) may collect certain information. We may use mobile analytics software (e.g. fabric.io) app statistics and crash reporting, Play Store app statistics, App Store app statistics, or self-hosted Sentry crash reporting to send crash information to our developers in order to rapidly fix bugs.

    Or how about addy.io that privacyguides recommends for email forwarding? From their privacy policy:

    We use a self-hosted instance of Umami, an open-source, privacy-focused and lightweight option for website analytics. All the site measurement is carried out absolutely anonymously.

    ALL online services collect this kind of data. Even the privacy-focused ones. There is nothing nefarious about it.

  • Like the comment I replied to already explained, this information is necessary to make informed development decisions. If you don't know who is using what feature you might be wasting resources on something barely anyone uses while neglecting something everyone needs.

    You also need some of that data for security purposes. You can't implement rate limiting or prevent abuse if you can't log and track how your services are being interacted with.

    And this is aggregate data. I can promise you not a single person cares about what any individual user is doing (assuming it's not illegal)

  • Yeah as someone who has worked in web development for over 20 years everything in here is completely standard. Almost every major website in existence collects this kind of analytical data.

  • Steam survey for June 2024, Linux still above 2%

    Jump

  • The hardware survey doesn't ask every single user, it just gets a sample. So it probably just happened to hit a few more Windows 7 people this month.

  • Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web

    Jump

  • Again, even an exact copy is not stealing. It's copyright infringement. Theft is a different crime.

    But paraphrasing is not copyright infringement either. It's no different than Wikipedia having a synopsis for every single episode of a TV series. Telling someone about what a work contains for informational purposes is perfectly fine.

  • Microsoft CEO of AI: Online content is 'freeware' for models • The Register

    Jump

  • Sorry, I misinterpreted what you meant. You said "any AI models" so I thought you were talking about the model itself should somehow know where the data came from. Obviously the companies training the models can catalog their data sources.

    But besides that, if you work on AI you should know better than anyone that removing training data is counter to the goal of fixing overfitting. You need more data to make the model more generalized. All you'd be doing is making it more likely to reproduce existing material because it has less to work off of. That's worse for everyone.

  • What you're asking for is literally impossible.

    A neural network is basically nothing more than a set of weights. If one word makes a weight go up by 0.0001 and then another word makes it go down by 0.0001, and you do that billions of times for billions of weights, how do you determine what in the data created those weights? Every single thing that's in the training data had some kind of effect on everything else.

    It's like combining billions of buckets of water together in a pool and then taking out 1 cup from that and trying to figure out which buckets contributed to that cup. It doesn't make any sense.

  • If the model isn't overfitted it's also not even copying. By their nature LLMs are transformative which is the whole point of fair use.
