    guys fix ur shit ASAP or we switch to other app... Newpipe.net is down, saying connection is not secure

    Jump

  • Hey, pal. This isn't the fuckin help desk, Newpipe is open source software. Interact with people like this if you never want your issues fixed; being an entitled shithead is a sure shot to get people to hate you and not give a fuck about your problems.

    If you want the opposite of that, stop being an entitled shithead and figure out what questions you need to ask to fix the problem yourself instead of demanding service like you're paying anyone for anything.

  • Grok floods X with sexualized images of women and children: Grok generated an estimated 3 million sexualized images, including 23,000 of children in 11 days

  • I'm editing my response, 'cause you know what? You don't know anything about me, my business, or my ethics. You have no standing to judge my character, and based on the fact that you have anyway, I don't care to know anything else about you or engage with you further.

  • Yes, that is indeed the fact I was downplaying as "minor". I have an even bigger target on my back, and I'm a lot less mobile with all my assets tied up like this.

  • It Will Take Years to Fully Grasp Eric Adams’s Corruption

    Jump

  • I don't know why, but this time, I'm willing to give the guy the benefit of the doubt. I guess it's just that I haven't heard anything inconsistent out of him yet, which is already notable. Very interested to see how this all goes.

  • The law is a funny creature. I own a business myself (just started, actually!) and it would suck to be brought up on charges I have no idea about but I'm being held personally liable for. I'm grateful for the LLC protection in that case. Of course, I'm also not planning on committing any crimes, nor having my business commit crimes, so it's a minor worry. Really only important in the event the law gets weaponised against the people, say for example by a foreign asset in high office... 😬

  • But that's what I'm saying - I don't think those kind of jokes are funny anymore. When I was younger I thought it was all in good fun, that nobody really meant it and that's why it was funny, but then I saw the world and realised it's very much not. The humour was drained away by the hatred.

  • Yeah, I agree. I guess I should have said I used to think he was funny. It's been a long damn time since he said anything that made me laugh.

  • Pfft, like it was just Adams. Mamdani might be the first honest, competent mayor the city has had in I don't even know how long...

  • Dammit. I thought he was funny, turns out he's a xenophobic fuckhead.

    I actually already couldn't enjoy Fawlty Towers anymore, the racism is obvious to me now that I'm an adult. It's distasteful. I guess for John, it wasn't just "the times" the show was made in. Ah well, plenty of not-fuckheads whose work can be enjoyed.

  • Microsoft Gave FBI Keys to Unlock Encrypted Data, Exposing Major Privacy Flaw

  • I am shocked. Shocked, I tell you.

  • Limited liability companies are "limited" in the sense that there are limitations on the responsibilities of the members of the corporation. The CEO can't be held personally liable for the actions of the company, for example; their underlings could have been responsible and kept the leader in the dark.

    However, there's this interesting legal standard wherein it is possible to "pierce the corporate veil" and hold corporate leadership personally liable for illegal actions their company took, if you can show that by all reasonable standards they must or should have known about the illegal activity.

    Anyway Elon has been elbow-deep in the inner workings of Xitter for years now, by his own admission, right? Really getting in there to tinker and build new stuff, like Grok and its image generation tools. Seems like he knows an awful lot about how that works. An awful lot.

    I'm tired of LLM bullshitting. So I fixed it.

    Jump

  • It's a very nice concept to be able to dump a shitload of knowledge into a folder, look at "processing..." for a few seconds, then ask questions to get exactly what you're looking for out of it rather than having to go digging through the mound of information and without having to worry that the computer just threw in a few made up facts for giggles. The idea is that the dumping happens over time mostly, allowing you to quickly find buried information from years ago with a few relevant queries.

    One thing I'd do with this is dump all my emails into it, from across all my accounts. That might save me having to search keywords in 8+ accounts over 4-5 different platforms every so often...

    It also might have been useful in a lawsuit I prosecuted a few years ago. Instead of going through two years of encrypted messages by hand to pull out relevant excerpts with context, I could have exported the lot and just asked for the information. If it worked it could have saved me months (I spent a few hours after work every night screenshotting, dating the screenshots in chronological order, then I've that was done I kept a spreadsheet that I filled with relevant excerpts and links to the screenshots, by reading every single screenshot... it was a lot).

  • Exactly what it says, what's confusing about it? The problem with LLMs is that they bullshit; the problem with LLMs bullshitting is that you have to check everything they say, they are not trustworthy - severely limiting the utility. So, don't trust LLMs. God meanwhile is assumed to be the paragon of honesty, and thus completely trustworthy, so would be the only entity to be trusted implicitly.

    This works even if you don't believe in god, like me: trust nobody, everyone must bring data if they want me to trust what they say.

  • SysAdmins and Engineers of Lemmy, what's your take on Secure Service Edge?

    Jump

  • My take is only valid for my environment, I think 😅 What's your environment and threat model? Are you feeling that your current defenses are insufficient, is there an actual or potential increase in attacks? Are you finding yourself struggling to manage and secure company infrastructure with everyone's personal devices connecting to it? Are your users frustrated with the security you do have in place? Or, are you looking to add new layers to address a deficiency?

    IMO cloud services like this are either overpriced now or will get overpriced in the future; they usually work fine until there's an outage or until they get compromised. But, I haven't had to run a large corporate environment yet, and I could see the allure of offloading all the security onto an external vendor that we can blame (and sue) if things go wrong down the track.

    edit: reading u/False's comment it does sound like it's at least a decent user experience, at least if they're using the Sonicwall product you're looking at. You can almost certainly build an equivalent service internally with FOSS tools, but will the user experience be as good/seamless? That's a lot less certain.

    To Every American Who's Sorry (from the Greenland subreddit)

    Jump

  • Oh, so what we are doing. Cool, thanks for the input. Look man, I'm responding to chuds who are saying "Fuckin Americans should just do something about it" without giving any thought to what that "do something" is or entails. They think there's going to be some massive uprising "of the people" that just materialises out of thin air, guns blazing and bullets flying to victory, and they don't understand why it hasn't yet. You clearly do understand, but you're talking to me like I'm saying "we can just sit here and do nothing", when I'm actually saying exactly what you just did. Context matters, mate, and your response here misses the context of everything I've written.

    And just to be clear, I'm annoyed, but not really with you specifically. Your comment just comes off as condescending, because it ignores my context.

    edit: upvoted to counter whoever downvoted you. What you're saying has merit and contributes to the discussion, just misplaced I think, doesn't deserve a downvote
