I don't really follow X, Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.

  • They aren't a solution to the problem today, but they've advanced quite a lot compared to when I first had this idea like three years ago, and lots of tech companies continue to dump massive amounts of money into advancing it even more.

    I'm not saying LLMs (or whatever the next big thing after LLMs might be) are the whole solution though. They're just tools.

  • I really hope this can be improved with AI. A teacher can teach in ways that are effective for most students, but not all. But an LLM can scale up more than a teacher. Hopefully educators can somehow leverage that tech as a tool to multiply their own effectiveness.

  • Feel free to ask weird questions and rant about life! Our lives were very different 20 years ago, so it's interesting to learn from the perspectives of other generations.

    If you own your own domain name, this process is easier. Your email address can stay the same, even when moving to different email services.

  • Why doesn't the US build a bridge here to connect Alaska to the mainland? Are they stupid?

  • I understand that this is just a shitpost, but the scaling here is crazy 😆 Alaska is more than twice the size of Texas

  • Spotify fans threaten to return to piracy as music streamer introduces new face-scanning age checks in the UK

    跳过

  • Well I don't think Spotify wants to do it, but it's probably a better option than abandoning their UK users.

    I assume the other streaming options will do the same in the UK market, so probably better to look at self-hosted alternatives, if you're into that

  • +1 for vinyl. The album art, inserts, etc. really adds something to the experience that I had long forgotten over the years of downloading and streaming music.

  • YSK this is Susie Willies. She is the most powerful woman in the United States.

  • Like... In general, or are you referring to a particular situation in which that happened?

    I'd disagree with the "never" part, in general. For example, it's probably good not to know how it feels to murder.

  • Many years ago, when I was repairing computers for a living, spyware like this was highly frowned upon.

    I haven't touched Windows in a few years, but I'm still somewhat saddened to see how normalized this has become. Why did society stop valuing privacy?

  • I don't disagree with your main point, but I'm not sure it's really even "stealing", as that means to take without permission. In this case, the storage permissions were configured so that the files were publicly available to everyone, so everyone had permission to access them.

    Semantics though. It's still unethical to access that data, even if it's not technically stealing.

  • I'm no lawyer, but this seems like at least grounds for a class action lawsuit, I would think. Like, it seems like privacy and security is implied (however ironic for an app like this) when requiring users to upload their PII.

    Also, I assume their privacy policy didn't mention that they were just gonna publish their users' PII.
