machines will be able to ‘think like humans’ when it happens

Maybe AGI is just a brain-destroying pandemic?

I think a web of trust is a much more powerful concept. Users should be able to choose how they distribute and delegate trust.

The tree invite thing is what private torrent trackers have been doing for a long time.

It’s because CEOs don’t play cyberpunk, but they did try chatgpt and got an immediate boner thinking about all the people they could lay off.

Yes, and you can do the same thing to your child’s non-root account. The point of the California law is to allow admins (parents) to do that.

Every app does not need to check your birth date. An app will be able to query if the user is within one of a few broad ranges of age (e.g. under 18), but an app only has to do that if it needs to comply with some other legislation.

The California law essentially allows a parent to create a child account on a device and gives a way for apps to query it.

I’m not sure what PH is asking for, but it doesn’t sound like the same thing.

Google already refuse signing releases for GrapheneOS on the pixel.

Do you mean how you get a special boot screen implying you’re doing something sketchy?

Google signing things is not something we want. We want phones that don’t care if your OS is signed by Google, and banking apps that trust you to pick an OS.

Yeah, honestly this is the default car shape now and I hate it. At least the BYD looks like a big estate, which id much rather have.

Yeah, I try to make a point of using free software and contributing where I can. It does have to rise to a certain threshold of annoyance though.

My favourite example of Spotify being shit is:

I want to play an album, so I go to it and press play. Then a bit later I want to queue a second album after the first one is done. How do I do that? As far as I can tell the answer is to go fuck myself. I have start a new queue or playlist with both albums in it.

That’s apart from all the basic software quality stuff like randomly restarting the queue.

Edit: so now I use finamp with jellyfin, which I can actually fix when it does something I hate.

How can I add words to this sentence without adding information?

Just keep the door and you’re creating even more jobs in the door factory.

That’s insane. Even if they did this intentionally to be as difficult as possible, they locked themselves out of being able to detect long presses?

I don’t really want them around trying to touch stuff at all

Don’t let Ted Turner microsoft deface my movie open source software with his crayons slop machine

I just finished Normal People, which was my first Sally Rooney book. I loved it, but I wouldn’t say it had a lot of political theory, just light commentary by the characters. I take it you recommend Beautiful World?

I’m currently reading The Bricks That Built the Houses by Kae Tempest. It might be a good candidate, but I’m not far enough through to really recommend it yet.

Some that come to mind:

• Han Kang - We Do Not Part or Human Acts
• Michael Ondaatje - In the Skin of a Lion or Anil’s Ghost
• James Baldwin - Another Country

It obviously won’t work for everyone, but for remote access I’ve been very impressed with waypipe. I use it to pull windows from headless machines onto my main workstation, like X forwarding.

I’d like something for persistence, like wprs, but it’s not quite there yet.

Suicidally bad naming is the one thing we can always rely on Microsoft for

For something pretty low level and gigantic, Mesa (or at least RADV) is a pleasure to hack on. It has a great config system (meson), compiles super fast, has lots of debug functionality, and can easily be loaded into e.g. a game, without any system level configuration.

I don’t usually wish for a crane disaster.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Online_Safety_Amendment#Platforms_affected https://www.esafety.gov.au/about-us/industry-regulation/social-media-age-restrictions/which-platforms-are-age-restricted

eSafety does not have a formal role in declaring which services are age-restricted social media platforms. In the absence of any rules made by the Minister of Communications specifying a service is either an age-restricted social media platform or not an age-restricted social media platform, any determination that a service is or is not an age-restricted social media platform is a matter for the court.

Services which do not currently meet the definition of ‘age-restricted social media platform’ should routinely self-assess, including when introducing a new social feature or function or when observing changes in the ways existing and new account holders are using their service.

So technically they need to self-assess based on the legislation, but based on the published lists I really doubt they have anything to worry about.
