An individual wouldn’t verify this but enough independent agencies or news orgs would probably care enough to verify a photo. For the vast majority we’re already too far gone to properly separate fiction an reality. If we can’t get into a courtroom and prove that a picture or video is fact or fiction then we’re REALLY fucked.

The point is to give photographers a “receipt” for their photos. If you don’t want the receipt it would be easy to scrub from photo metadata.

Actually seems easier (probably not at the state level) to mandate cameras and such digitally sign any media they create. No signature or verification, no trust.

I don’t know if it was overhyped or too expensive (or both) but Drobo seemed like a good consumer solution to this problem. The idea of being able to live swap drives and have it all handle redundancy, provisioning, recovery, and whatnot automatically is critical for making this a true “home appliance”.

Energy usage may not be astronomical right now but AI is going into everything. Like EVERYTHING! It’ll be running even when you don’t think it’s running, when you think it makes no sense to be running. Usage of AI itself will skyrocket and the fastest energy sources that can be acquired are likely to come first.

Thanks for mentioning Wolf. I’m pretty happy with Sunshine but I do have those occasions where it can’t stream because my monitor is turned off (upstairs) when I’m downstairs.

If I took this argument in good faith, also consider your behaviors can be used against you and your neighbor. I’ve heard people say TikTok knew they were bisexual before the user themself knew it. Massive amounts of data on human behavior can be used to sell you the newest phone or the newest infringement of your rights.

As soon as I saw Plex show media that wasn’t part of my personal library I knew it was becoming enshitified.

In case it wasn’t clear, companies will gladly kill you if it pads their bottom line. Their only principle is “make more money”.

Clearly this admin doesn’t care about pesky things like laws. If they don’t like you they’ll pull any dirty trick they can to stop you. Only reason they haven’t gone after normal people is time and money.

Same. And they basically jizz their pants when they see a practical use for AI, but 9 out of 10 times there’s already a cheaper and more reliable solution they won’t even entertain.

If I try to get it to do more than predict the next two lines of code it’s gonna fuck something up. A nervously laughable thing I saw at work was someone using a long spec file to generate a series of other files and getting high praise for it. It was the equivalent of mustache templates but slower and with a 30% chance of spitting out garbage. There was also no way to verify if you were in that 30% zone without looking through the dozens of files it made.

I once heard that artists get more money from merch than plays or record sales (per dollar spent). If you want to support them buy a tshirt or something from their official site.

If there’s sufficient water and land you can put a data center anywhere. If you’re going to screw over the locals somehow it’s better to do it in a place that’s relatively poor with no real power to fight back against the pollution, utility increases, and noise that follow.

they get home and have chosen to do some distro hopping over the weekends

Gotta get that Microstank off. Respect. ✊

From Fedora 42? Sounds like a downgrade.

I convert my files to avoid transcoding but my Raspberry Pi 4B handles Jellyfin just fine.

Or you give it 3-4 requirements (e.g. prefer constants, use ternaries when possible) and after a couple replies it forgets a requirement, you set it straight, then it immediately forgets another requirement.
