I don’t read my replies





I’ve got a low-energy Intel Atom server. The CPU is technically 64 bit, but some of the other hardware is still 32bit, limiting you to that.
I’ve been running Debian on it (and several predecessors). I’m stuck on Debian12 because they’re dropping 32bit support after that.
I don’t really use it to “self-host” other than as a file server for backups and Pihole.


If you read the article, this is a very specific legal question. And honestly, it’s too gross to contemplate, and having a strong opinion about this on the internet is rightly suspicious.
The good news is the criminal in this case didn’t just posess CSAM, and no matter how this shakes out, they going to jail.


Microslop has designed a hardware solution to disable AI features on Windows for advanced users.

Reddit should monetize moderation. Every user should be able to buy mod privileges.
Get banned? Ban them back. Loose an argument? Don’t downvote their history, delete it!
You might say that this would result in bad moderation and chaos in the popular subs. And yea, my plan has those advantages too.


This isn’t a weapon, and probably won’t work as intended either.
“Space lasers” don’t work over long distances because the light spreads out. (inverse square law) A pinpoint laser is almost 2m wide when pointed at a low flying aircraft.
Increasing intensity doesn’t work because you’ll need a) a Dyson sphere level of energy input. or b) a mirror big enough to occupy a significant fraction of our orbit.
This is just “data center in space” fiction


Did they fix the bug where Ublock Origin doesn’t work?


This isn’t fair. Madagascar is 592,800 square kilometres. You shouldn’t discriminate against prompt engineers in their studies before they’ve even had a chance to take those future-skills into the workforce. In 2024, Madagascar was estimated to have 32m residents. The professor should be ashamed.


is their a meaningful difference between open weight and open source?


$15.5B dollars, invented out of ether, and bestowed on the lucky gamblers. The stock market is so efficient that it can create wealth without bothering with economic activity. No jobs created; no products produced; and nothing to trickle down.


Elon mad because he’s being exploited for other people’s profit. Delightful.


Reading the article, the reason proprietary “AI” models didn’t work is because they block the kind of code used in attacks to protect themselves. The Chinese models weren’t superior, they were just able to be run locally without restriction.
The real story is that agentic attacks live and in the wild.
The real racist is the internet chuds who are upset Nolan cast a black actor. That’s all this is over. And I’m so tired of the bigots pretending to care about historical accuracy in a story about Gods and a cyclops. Racists are sooooooooo boring.


Microslop is confused that the people forced to pay for shitty software won’t pony up for the optional shitty software.


This is good actually. The current standards assume that exposure to ionizing radiation is always bad no matter how small. The evidence suggests that small doses are absolutely safe, and arguably beneficial.
Panicking about small radiation doses has absolutely caused public harm and even death. Many people argue that some of the evacuations around Fukushima were overly conservative and ultimately more harmful than doing nothing.


My mother, who used Office software her whole working life recently asked me, un-prompted to help her switch to something else. She was tired of the always online, always signed in obnoxiousness of Office 365. She was tired of looking for stuff in Onedrive. And the software had changed so much over the years, that she figured learning a new office suite wouldn’t be any extra effort.


I’m confused, why is Google telling customers they can’t use it’s AI? Can they not keep up with demand?
That seems way more interesting a story than Meta relying on a competitor.


IDGAF if Newell is a Epstein-class helo-pad yacht billionaire. Valve’s success is built on the recognition that customers are the source of success, rather than a resource to be extracted. Valve is bringing PC citizenship to console subjects. Just in time for the 4th of July.


I can’t wait to see the launch of the next generation of consoles. Valve has been absolutely battered by being the first out the gate in this hardware market, and I’d be surprised if the next gen consoles are not anemic and expensive.
