That was very, very likely what the parent comment meant. The correction was unnecessary.

It doesn’t mean “never improve”, though.

Seems they’re working on that https://wiki.opennic.org/opennic/tls

“We are under attack, faithful Monerites! Shove more coal into the energy plants! Carbon will set us free!”

“We didn’t want to inflate our valuation with circular investings, the market made us do it! We are the victims here!!”

That’s donations, and I’ve donated to less projects that I’d like, because it would become costly very fast. Mainly things like Wikipedia or Jellyfin.

Ive contributed to several projects, code and translation, but you can really expect every user to be a programmer, or every programmer to contribute to every piece of software they use.

Besides, contribution is not a protection from capture, just look at MySQL.

Self hosting doesn’t make you immune, though. See how Plex evolved, for example. Self hosting plus free software that isn’t abandoned or compromised is the way, but idealistic developers need to take bread to the table too.

So the way maybe is self-hosted + libre software + a non-profit supporting the project. And that can too be corrupted, for example, the Mozilla Foundation and Google’s influence.

Always be ready to migrate.

I’ve used Libre 1 for years, they work reliably. They will usually fail in the first hours of use, but otherwise work well for the 14 days.

Always keep a standard glucometer at hand, because these monitors can be affected by temperature and humidity.

Heck no. Last time I tried to make an account, someone had to invite you, or you had to prove yourself to them by showing your GitHub as if it was your CV.

Lurking is free, so I went to check what these pro hackers were posting and commenting: many links were already in HN, and the quality of comments was similar. No loss there.

Any alternative you could suggest? I migrated to HN from SlashDot many years ago, because the discussion was mature, and shitposting/jokes were frowned upon.

To this day I haven’t found something similar.

Parent comment meant willingly. People weren’t agreeing to install Backorifice even then.

Holy cow that’s a very real danger I hadn’t thought of! The industry needs a new trend to reuse all this capacity they built, because AI will likely scale back as many startups fail to reach profit.

Renting your home computer might be the next trend, and it could be gratis at first so people get used to it. Why spy on users when you can actually own their computers?

So the companies should not be trying to hide their use of AI, right? It’s a disclosure, not a penalty.

Was going to quote just that, from the same article:

‘Ozempic face’ isn’t a side effect of the medication itself. Rather, it’s a side effect of the rapid weight loss the medication can bring.

Oh wait, I did anyway.

What’s a few billion to a TRILLION company? That’s peanuts. Everything is fine fellow citizen.

If you’re using AI as a more powerful search engine, more power to you, that’s IMO how it should be used.

The problem is too many people use it to avoid learning and critical thinking, because it’s much easier.

What? It feels like a web wrapper right now, I always thought it was an old backend because the web app had better functionality.

Specially when those companies are valued in TRILLIONS. Nothing is worth trillions, somehow these surreal numbers have been accepted as hard fact.

What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger! Or chronically ill, but in a cool way, really.
