Spin the wheel of dystopian sci-fi and lets see where we land next week.

Ya know, thats a good idea. I would make the time frame shorter depending on what the range of the transmitter is. If you switch while in range of the camera would it pick you up as two vehicles?

Yep, the Nightmare Eclipse* crashout continues to be endlessly entertaining and a train wreck for Microsofts security devs.

*Thanks for yhe name correction.

Its a philosophical crutch, putting your reason for living or being a decent person in the hands of an other entity is easier than taking that responsibility yourself.

I guess the emotion I feel when some theist is mouthing off or drawing irrational conclusions is pitty. I do try to not be judgmental, but its hard some days.

Woz continues to be the good Steve.

The new AmEx cards are getting out of hand.

Between this and the Cardputer-zero, im very excited for the next-gen digital swiss army knives.

Yah… Duh… Thats how espionage works…

China would tell their diplomats to do the same returning from the US.

LoL, we dont. Accounts are issued to individuals. My local sysadmin cosplay group encourages people to make their own instances with small user counts and to federate the services with each other. That way if one users network goes out as residential networks are want to do, communication is not completely down for the collective.

Correct me if im wrong, but this may be a good idea. Between this and the OpenAI v ScarJo lawsuit a few years back, if Swift suceedes in trademarking herself, it may make it easier for others to do so as well.

I see the fallout being a ton of artists and celebrities following suit, eventually the barrier of legal paperwork/fees getting low enough that Youtube personalities and small time artists can also trademark themselves.

If enough people also went out of their way to legally protect their image, AI companies would be walking into a litigation minefield as they cant reasonably know how many people filed with the trademark offices. The easiest solution is to not let deepfake voices or images be too real, if they are they risk getting sued by some random actor.

It stinks that inorder to potentially set precisent to make AI less toxic, a billionair has to go to bat first, but I dont think im going to add this to my list of valid complaints about her.

You would think the name was a dead give away that they were cartoonishly evil?

I have no simpathy at all for them at all.

Also in Minority Report, they do the whole eye scanning thing.

The more recent issues have been fiddly display problems along with multiple instances Proton_GE running at the same time not being reliable as they were in the last version and more broadly it has been issues attempting to get Davinci Resolve to run correctly, but thats going to hopefully be fixed by the hardware upgrades (GPU, switching from an old rx 6700 to a lightly used 3090, there are known compatibility issues with AMD GPUs). Was thinking something Fedora or arch flavored, just for a change of scenery.

Been trying cosmic for a few weeks now, cant say its my jam. Got some hardware upgrades to do sooner or later and want to try something new and will install a new OS around then, open to recomendations.

Sing me a song about shitty copper.

Nah… My office does, and then pays a vendor to handle the issues (I work in IT, fixing those problems is literally my job) and they still cheap out on knock off toner (some of which works). It makes me sad…

Thats like asking what hammer is best. You can use most if not all to drive nails, but not all are best suited for the task.

Pop_OS lets Ubuntu drive fast and break things while focusing hardware/driver support, makes it great for video games. The only program Ive ever had issues with is Davinci Resolve, but those issues with linux compatibility are of their own creation, not the OSs.

The Pinephone was a fun expiriment. I want that pinboard switch on other devices, but the linux dev/update cycle is very unconducive to the needs of most daily drivers.

[Insert South Park “We’re Sorry” scene here]

Also, given the state of affairs and the lack of trust, I dont believe they are cutting them off. Assume the worst and do what you can to decouple from the platform I dont expect people to quit cold-turkey, but put in the effort, it takes a long time to degoogle yourself and given how ubiquitous discord was during the plague, I dont fault people for making sure lines of communication and contacts arnt broken.

Call me when they are doing the snapdragon beta. I really want to put this on my fairphone.
