  • Google Drive started killing third-party apps: End of the Road for Google Drive in Transmit

    Jump

  • I moved to syncthing a long time ago. I run it on all my computers, my phone, and my NAS. Keeps everything in sync and local. My only worry is the lack of an offsite. If my home burned down, I'd be a little screwed. Otherwise, I've got lots of copies on lots of devices, as well as automatic backups.

  • Hurricaine Helene Aftermath - Appalachian State University, North Carolina

    Jump

  • You should learn a little geography. NC is a very wide state. Most of it hasn't been prone to hurricanes. The coast gets hit every few years with a decent one, but it's been over 30 years since one came anywhere close to that far inland with more than the power of a heavy storm.

  • Any FOSS apps to design icons ?

    Jump

  • I agree with those that say Inkscape, it's where I've designed all my logos. However, I've been tempted to try using FreeCAD to do it lately. I'm not sure if it can export as SVG, but the thought of have a proper parametric tool for designing logos sounds up my ally. I tend to try to treat Inkscape like one, by liberal use of construction lines, but at the end of the day, it really doesn't like being that precise.

  • They stole my voice with AI | Jeff Geerling

    Jump

  • Yeah, the genie is out of the bottle on this one. I can do voice cloning with consumer hardware and available models. That can't be undone, but good legal protections would be nice.

    That said, the Johanson case is a bad example because it really didn't sound much like her at all. It was a chipper yound white lady sound, but to my ear sounded nothing like Johanson. It did sound kinda like a character she voiced, but I would not gave confused the two. They cloned the voice of someone they paid to give a similar inflection as the voice from Her. That's far removed from cloning Johanson herself. It is closer to people making music "in the style of".

  • Reminds me of StumbleUpon. An old way of sharing and finding content.

  • Google & Facebook partner admits it can listen to device microphone to serve ads - Dexerto

    Jump

  • I also think people discount the power of advertising when they think Facebook or Amazon is listening to them. They don't think that maybe why they were talking about xyz was because they saw an ad for it. Then they saw another ad for it after they talked about it and got confused on cause and effect.

  • Every time someone asks me the make and model, I give a puzzled look

    Jump

  • I don't see it as a status symbol, although I'm certain that is a huge part of it for a lot of people, but fashion part is right. Cars have design styles, motifs, and trends. I don't know the names for most of them, but I can normally place a car in a 3 year range on sight. Make and model are also often very obvious through those same features, even across a larger number of years, slowly transitioning from one "age' of car design to another. I'm not a car person, but I am, in weird ways, a design nerd.

  • JWST Has Spotted Six Rogue Planets, Without a Star to Call Home

    Jump

  • I don't know, but I'm a big fan of cowboy and mafia planets.

  • "REM sleep is the next AI"

    Jump

  • Well, in the case of Ender's Game, that was the point. Trick kids into thinking they were playing a game and they wouldn't think twice about being as brutal as necessary to win. So if your goal is to have cars murder people, having people control them with their dreams is a pretty good idea.

  • Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October

    Jump

  • I'm not diagreeing with that. Although it could be useful, I often forget where I saved things, and something that let's my search my worn history would be rad, but there's zero chance this won't be abused by a large list of people, including but not limited to Microsoft, spouses, bosses, malware, governments, every random application, Facebook, and Microsoft.

  • Microsoft’s controversial Windows Recall feature is coming back in October

    Jump

  • Shadow copy is a completely different thing. Shadow copy creates snapshots(used for version history, among other uses) of files. Recall is a screen recording software, that includes OCR and maybe some AI stuff. At this time, at least, it too is all local. It just isn't secure in the least.

  • Neocities bug - can't sign up

    Jump

  • This wouldn't be a tool for wireshark. It could be a tool for the browser dev tools though. With it you can see every time a website tries to make a connection out, what data is submitted, and what the response is. Unfortunately, if you don't understand how http works, it might be all Greek.

  • Generate images with self hosted models, or integrate it with art programs? Because yes to both.

  • Disney wants a wrongful death lawsuit thrown out because the plaintiff had Disney+

  • Disney climbed the ladder of public domain and then pulled the ladder up behind themselves.

  • Windows 11 is getting a new start menu. EDIT: this replaces the "all apps" page by default, not the home screem

    Jump

  • In this case the person you were responding to was right. It is where they put their news and weather widget. Which only exists to push people onto Bing. It is annoying, and by default pops up on rollover, not click, so it is trivially easy to accidentally pull up, pumping those Bing engagement numbers.

  • The Google TV Streamer might be the Apple TV 4K rival we’ve been waiting for - The Verge

    Jump

  • I got an ad like the a month ago, made me start looking at alternatives. I haven't found one besides Apple TV that supports all the streaming services, is made for a TV, and doesn't have worse ads. I could handle content ads for streaming services I didn't have, but just straight TV commercials on my hopepage? Get fucked Google.
