Bill Gates during the early years, yes. But now, I thought he’s turned 180°.

is there any reason research you know of that supports this? I am interested in the idea of keep learning to prevent degrading.

I expect that for posts but not for votes. Inherently, we don’t want our votes to be public - that kind of defeat the purpose.

Lemmy is already a privacy nightmare, in some way. There was a comment showing the screengrab of those peiple who upvoted and downvoted a post. Basically, if you self-host an instance, you’ll have access to these. This can easily be weaponized by certain organizations that want to create profiling of lemmy users, e.g NSA and Intelligence agencies.

yes, I am one of those who are also getting bored of it. But this doesn’t mean that I am part of the market that they targeted. They might me targeting certain segments or even service providers such as game developers or console makers etc. The technology is still in it advent stage so it is too early to say wether they are going to fail.

Sorry, I disagree with this kind of generalisation. To be rational, Just because you don’t want it, it doesn’t mean everyone else is on the same ship. I am very sure there are certain people who will benefit from this and want it.

which countries are they? I guess somewhere in Europe?

In my country which is fairly progressing, (and I presume most South East Asia countries at least), the infrastructure are not conducive to riders or even pedestrians. Roads are build with no pavement for people to walk by, even in residential areas. The bicycle lane are pathetically small and narrowly designed that riders have to dangerously share the small strips of lane with other vehicles. People will use car even when going to shops that will only take 5 minutes walk.

They want to reduce the cost of constructions, I guess. But I wonder how much the country can save in the healhcare system by providing good infrastructure resulting in health-minded citizens that prefer to walk and ride.

I use encfs and sync it to dropbox etc. Then use gopass password manager to store password in the encfs folders. Not fully auto-integrated but good enough for me.

Very unlikely, If you read and refer to the article. The identity was stolen but the pic is a stock photo.

The two images at the top of this story are a stock photo and what KnowBe4 says is the AI fake based on the stock photo.

I am with you. I am baffled when non sequitur comment got more engagements and someone got downvoted for pointing it out.

Quality is not appreciated here, I suppose.

SwiftKey. I know, it’s owned by Microsoft. But I paid for the app long before Microsoft bought the company. I tried so many other apps to replace it, but prediction wise, I can’t find any comparable replacement.

Just stop using YT altogether.

They should but easy to say than done. In the end they will return back to it if no better or at least equal alternatives are out there to fill the vacuum.

the methods used by thiefs to try and get access to your phone data.

It is not about accessing the data but to disassociate the current user from the phone so that the thief can reset the phone or/and it’s components for new users.

no matter our computational techniques, the diminishing returns in predictive precision is reached far sooner than we achieve general intelligence

That’s very bold presumption. How can they be so sure of this, that any future models can’t tackle the issue? have they got proof or something.

Yes, that isn’t justifiable in your society. Surely you’ll be safe and pampered in your society. But, yours you’re are not the only one. There are a lot of other societies that are different than yours. How will you be able to interact or even fight them (as foes) if you don’t understand them. Thats why you need to understand them so that you’ll be well equipped and can plot your strategies for future interactions. To understand them is not equal to agreeing with them.

Anyway, life will be much more exciting when we are open to new encounters. Just like when we are able to speak many languages, imagine that.

Whether OP realizes it or not, it won’t matter. Their reply is to provide as an explanation - which I think answers the question well - and not to justify what they did are acceptable or not.

I have all except one: Decentraleyes instead of Privacy Badger, for no specific reasons.

you don’t understand, do you? This kind of post is out of place, has ‘attention seeker’ vibe - those that we rarely come across on Lemmy but usually found on Facebook.
