We can imagine a dystopian scenario where a sitting US president loses an election but claims he didn't. That the election was rigged. Then he sends a mob of people to storm the legislature, either to pressure the vice president not to enact the election results or to have him killed along with leaders of the opposition before he does (the traitor!).
I mean we can imagine something like that happening if a truly deranged person was president, but why would we.
Yes, I find this credible. At the same time, FOSS and Linux seems to be all the rage now, with big tech's ties to the Trump regime etc. Even though it's been nearly two decades ago since I first installed Linux (in the late 00's I even had an awkward "FOSS as an ethical alternative to piracy" phase), I am not in the tech savy crowd that's been mainlining this stuff for life – rather I identify more with the growing number of tech illiterate dummies that think "FOSS = good" because Pewdiepie said so or copy/pastes sudo commands that replaces half my boot drive with North Korean crypto malware.
There are actually a few closed apps that do it, some claim to make your phone discoverable as a Bluetooth HID and others via a server/client combo. But I don't really want to have an internet enabled device being able to track all my screen interactions and control another internet enabled device without some assurance that there's nothing nefarious going on behind the scenes.
Thanks, yes, I came across it and it looks very good but the target device is an IPad so I didn't consider it an option (well, I found no closed or open options I liked, really).
I understand you better now. Yes that's certainly possible, plausible even. But it would seem useful for someone who wants to boost the credibility of their (hypothetical) keylogger app with exotic permissions to have a way to independently be recommended as a good open source option by two leading models in mainstream use.
Strictly speaking, it doesn't know anything. But regardless of the merits of LLMs, the AI box is the top result on the biggest search engine in the world by default, and what I'm wondering is whether this is an example of intentional manipulation of the search results to give people who don't know better the false impression that apps are open source.
I would go in summer, any time really. Late June to mid July is when most Swedes have their summer vacation, so it can get a little crowded (relatively speaking, still manageable in the outer archipelago). Late summer might have the better water temperatures (for mandatory skinny dipping) but the sun is up longer in late June/early July.
Weather is a gamble, it can rain a lot but the sunny days are worth the risk and getting rained on a little (and the rainy days are not a waste either). There usually aren't a lot of mosquitos in the archipelago, but can vary from year to year. I'd say it's never even close to the notorious areas in the north of the country.
Stockholm also has an incredible archipelago that's accessible by boat from the city center. Boat passes cost very little and wild camping (free!) is permitted in most places. Hard to beat value proposition.
For me this is the year of building a media and music library of my own, legal or not. I've already cancelled my music streaming subscription, now it all just comes down to finding new, joyful ways to still explore and listen to music
If you are Swedish you will remember the Green Party spokesperson Åsa Romson crying as her government announced a crackdown on migrants. Left wing leader Nooshi Dadgostar would (will?) have done the same in Romson's situation, albeit, hopefully, without crying. That's just the way it is when you're a minority partner in a government led by a party that copies all their policies on crime and migration from the far right.
The galaxy brain move is buying an old dumb tv for a pittance and use it for watching Jellyfin/Plex/stream from a browser with uBlock Origin/DNS filtering – all running on some relative's "obsolete" smart toaster from last year that they happily gift you because "the new version's bagel mode IS LIT – pun intended – but it needs the 128 gb DDR7 ram of the new model, can barely toast on the old one any more".
In Google Search's prime DDG was still terrible and not a viable competitor even with the privacy advantage. Now both services are almost comparable, so it's kind of a no-brainer to ditch Google.
Yeah, search has degraded along with the Internet, you almost need an LLM now to filter out all the garbage hits. For a while, adding "reddit" to your search term was an OK high level filter to remove blogspam and e-commerce sites, but interacting with reddit is so annoying now that it's barely an option and many of the quality reddit posters have moved on while the state and corporate astroturfers are running the show. Never mind that the "reddit filter" also removed results from much better sources, like specialist forums.
Yeah and, like Starmer with his burner phone, using Tim Apple™ Phone with "trust me bro, I'm not gonna tell anyone what you're doing on your phone, bro, I only gave the fascist president of that hostile country 24 carat gold as tribute that one time, bro, it's not like I'm on his side or whatever" security features.
