  • How AI slop is causing a crisis in computer science

    Jump

  • Interesting read. I wonder if all the AI slop will bring back hand written applications as a way to filter out the AI. Maybe the Amish are ahead of the game here.

  • Ad-blocking is piracy, and that's okay

    Jump

  • Excellent write up!

  • What motivated you to leave the family home when you did?

    Jump

  • A girl. An ultimatum. I left. We've been married 26 years.

    I win.

  • AI Agent Lands PRs in Major OSS Projects, Targets Maintainers via Cold Outreach

  • Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras. Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage.

    Jump

  • I would wonder if it would be illegal to promote your live of the country by hanging a giant flag directly in the viewing path of the camera. Would you get arrested for being too patriotic?

  • This is too defeatist for me. I am upset to see these all over town, but too small minded to do anything about it. I want to start something to pressure community leaders to change, but i worry that i'll make a lot of noise then drop it like i do with everything. I'd love to join with a group.

  • Ad-blocking is piracy, and that's okay

    Jump

  • I'll try to argue about something I know little about. Don't advertisers pay for ads served? Don't many ad blockers work by hiding the ad from view, like making it's size 0x0? On my older devices, I can see the ad show up, then disappear. Doesn't that then imply that the advertiser must pay for the ad eve though it does not show on my device?

    Going down the rabbit hole, doesn't that then also imply that people using assistive technologies like a screen reader for the visually impaired are actually stealing content?

  • Poland Bars Chinese-Made Cars From Army Sites Over Data Fears

    Jump

  • I wonder what capabilities the vehicles have that are of concern? Cameras? Microphone?

    I read a suggestion that countries simply mandate that anything sold in the country which operates with software and has the ability to disrupt items of national security be made with software that is auditable and preferably ooen source software.

    Cars, routers, solar power controllers, computers, etc.

  • How can we protect kids from the harms of social media without sacrificing everyone's privacy?

    Jump

  • Agreed 100%. Enable parents, even not tech savvy parents, to parent. Ultimately, if the parent wants their kid to do whatever, they'll just create an adult account for their kid. Do we really want the government parenting our kids? Sure, it may be an improvement for some, but it's a slippery slope and could lead to a Brave New World.

  • Party like it's 1996

    Jump

  • Many of the older games suffer from bad graphics but the game play still holds up. I played OpenRA with some friends at a good old fashioned LAN party when we all didn't have computers that could play the latest games or budget issues to purchase the latest games. We set up in different rooms to form teams and it was super fun. A side benefit is that nobody had all the maps, hints and cheats memorized so we were on equal footing.

  • Ad-blocking is piracy, and that's okay

    Jump

  • I think this is the only reply that hits the mark. Most of the others are mentioning malware, the morals of adverts or how obnoxious they are. To steal implies to take without payment, but the payment is not from the viewer, it is from the advertiser,who is paying.

    I'd argue that blocking is more similar to taking a restroom break when a commercial is shown on the TV. No reasonable person would say that that's stealing.

  • Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online

    Jump

  • The minnesota attorney(ies) isn't pressing charges because they are derelict in their duty

    This then becomes a voter issue to install someone who will represent the people. Alternatively, protests to hold elected officials accountable to their duties or promises.

    democrats do that with every issue opposed by powerful interests they promised to do something about, they make a performative gesture, get stopped, then say well I tried

    I've seen this far too many times. Again, holding elected officials accountable may be the only way.

  • Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online

    Jump

  • I remember the "have fun with that" quote. It was oddly smug and childish, which is why it stuck out.

    Perhaps it's naive of me to think so, but I read that the Minnesota District Attorney is deliberately not pressing charges (at least for the 2 murders) until the chance of a presidental pardon is nil.

  • How would you describe that post sneeze smell?

    Jump

  • It's the smell of daemons leaving your body.

    God bless you.

  • Homeland Security has reportedly sent out hundreds of subpoenas to identify ICE critics online

    Jump

  • I read a speculation somewhere that DHS want to declare all opposition to their activities as domestic terrorists and then remove their right to vote. There have been multiple articles detailing how the people who follow agents around and report their location are served papers later declaring them to be domestic terrorists and then they are placed on a no fly list. I'm sure more is to come. Reportedly, all the agents use facial recognition cameras to sweep the crowds for logging in a database, but another report suggests that the recognition part isn't working so well.

  • Oatly loses long-running 'milk' battle with dairy lobby

    Jump

  • Change the "L" in milk to an uppercase "i" and call it good. They can't help it if people mispronounce "miIk".

  • Push to repeal Section 230 raises stakes for how social media moderates content

    Jump

  • You could be right, but I read an opinion piece a while back that suggested that removal of 230 would allow the government to indirectly censor speech online by selectively punishing the platforms that don't moderate in the way that the administration would like. This may not be a problem under the current administration, but what if a wanabe dictator were to somehow become president?

  • Helm chart installable solutions?

    Jump

  • I have something similar to host paths with node selectors: an NFS provisioner for PVs. The provisioner is tied to the node with the large disk. It's not resilient to node outages, but allows me to spread pods across the nodes. For my deployments, I'm preferring to use S3 storage wherever possible.
