Since .world is defederated from hexbear I have to post this myself:

I’m only contactable using smoke signals from burning datacenters

Great news, thank you!

Anybody who doesn’t block Google mind giving a tldr?

Home assistant is the big one imo, voice control for a private smart home is useful and low-stakes so hallucinations won’t be the end of the world

Not like I was going to burger king anyway but this is a solid reason not to

Same in Canada with Interac. I’d love to see some interop between these types of networks

Iirc bypassnro no longer works on recent builds of windows

Childing Childish Gambino is his rap name

People being less inclined to woo-woo stuff around here doesn’t make it an echo chamber, the same way people being more inclined to techy stuff here doesn’t make it one. It’s not like dissenting opinions are prevented or suppressed, they’re just less common (and when it comes to generally homophobic religions, I’m personally happy about that).

11 comments and every single one is dunking on religion… have I ever mentioned I love this place?

I don’t think it’s that weird personally, it’s more just a disconnect in how different people see operating systems. If you’re the type to not want to do extra work to make your computer functional you probably view your OS as more of a tool, but people proud of their arch installs usually see their OS as a hobby/project and put the amounts of research/time/effort into their OS that you’d expect from any other hobby.

As a related anecdote I see cars as tools and absolutely do not want to do extra work on them, similarly to how it sounds like you see your OS. My car people friends will spend hours fucking with their cars just to change the color of something or add a bit more power that they don’t actually need, and at the end of the day they’re really proud of their machines (exactly like people installing arch). I don’t think this is weird even tho I look at cars very differently than they do, cuz I can respect the time, effort, and knowledge they invested that makes them so proud - even if at the end of the day I still just see cars as a way to get from point A to point B.

Where it belongs

(Out of the picture)

Hindenburg part 2 let’s gooooooo

Kobo does drm-free ebooks when the publisher allows it, so it’s on a case-by-case basis but I have got a lot of them drm free

Great, this is all the infinite information sucking machine was missing: MY information. Can’t wait for hiring companies to try to force me to use this /s

GenAI is short for generative AI in this context

I watched someone vibe code a curl request with grok and it spat out an api key in the configuration completely unprompted. It wasn’t an active one unfortunately (that would’ve been so funny) but I could totally see this happening

To be clear, I wasn’t saying you’re wrong. I just like homomorphic encryption a lot and love a chance to tell people about it lmao

There are no LLMs that process encrypted tokens.

Check out homomorphic encryption! AFAIK it’s not used in any LLMs just yet but the plans are in place and it’s tantalizingly close
