Encephalotrocity

If it was the law then the AI itself would be coded to not allow going “undercover”, and there would be legal consequences if caught. Torvald’s stance only matters for how things ‘are’ not how they ‘could be’.

Would it be a cure all? Of course not. Fraud still happens despite the illegality. But it’s better than not being able to trust anything ever again.

Perhaps the most discussed technical detail is the “Undercover Mode.” This feature reveals that Anthropic uses Claude Code for “stealth” contributions to public open-source repositories.

The system prompt discovered in the leak explicitly warns the model: “You are operating UNDERCOVER… Your commit messages… MUST NOT contain ANY Anthropic-internal information. Do not blow your cover.”

Laws should have been put in place years ago to make it so that AI usage needs to be explicitly declared.

it was Skype previously, which is what we all used originally. The conversion was complete. My father still has a Skype icon on his phone because it now opens Teams.

Some members are too old to want to switch to something else and I need to save my energy for far more important battles.

I use Teams flatpak to communicate with family and like a week ago got a prompt “would you recommend this to others?”.

I clicked no, and for the reason “Sloppity slop slop slopitty slop” and 3 days later M$ announced they were rolling back Copilot integration in trivial apps. I felt listened to :P

With 'murican healthcare prices the fatality rate is a feature.

They should have had teh dev say ‘it is almost done, just need to work on the UI’ and then get drafted to war where he gets domed by a 50 cal and then completes the project. Would have been more accurate that way.

Nah, I installed Edge on Mint like an animal.

Just started using it. With zero xp posts an article expecting to matter.

I use Thunderbird too, and have so for years. The RSS implementation sucks. It will randomly crap out and autopause all feeds. The data often corrupts rendering the link folder useless and is very difficult to properly purge as the gui process will often fail. You’ll have to look up instructions and delete the folders manually. Very disappointing, but better than nothing.

I’ve been using open source RSS apps from Fdroid and have yet to find one that doesn’t have glaring bugs. I don’t understand why feed reading is so difficult. Probably that it supports so many forms of media but I’m just a clueless scrub that isn’t posting to blogs so what do I know.

ISPs know what sites you are visiting and when…

and your name. address, credit card number. You’re 100% right, just wanted to make sure this isn’t skipped over.

Librewolf is my goto browser + vpn + ublock. If they get through that it’s my fault imo

when two particles are entangled and far apart, when we observe them they will always be in the same state?

They will be opposite states of each other the moment observing collapses their waveform. This effectively removes their entangled state. It cannot be used to communicate information faster than c.

25H2 is Microsoft’s latest major release, featuring a refined interface, faster performance, enhanced security, and better hardware support. It’s the most polished Windows 11 experience, making it ideal for virtual machines.

This is either the biggest load of horse manure ever vomited or a scathing indictment of the true quality of MS product. Either way, i am glad i don’t need those instructions.

Too funny. They’d need to go back to Win95 for all that.

I agree 100% with the sentiment, but it 100% does not apply to Linux. The (when it actually exists which too often it doesn’t) ‘manual’ 90% of the time is written out of order by an expert presuming that 98% of what is being stated isn’t greek to the newb and consequently ends up being completely useless if not downright harmful for them.

My favourite so far is: App has feature that can be installed but requires several dependencies before it will install it. The feature has it’s own ‘handy’ cli command to point to an AppImage for a dependency which is useless because THE APP WON"T INSTALL THE FEATURE IN THE FIRST PLACE WITHOUT THE DEPENDENCY.

I don’t want to spend all my spare time for a week learning about commands and syntax for 5 other distros trying to figure out why this fucking [insert device that supposedly nobody else ever has a problem with] isn’t working. I’m not looking for a job in IT. I don’t want to burn my eyeballs out translating nerdspeak. This isn’t fun. I just want to click it and it works, which is apparently still too much to ask for after 20 years and 600 stupid distros later.

RTFM. GFY Linux. Learn how to write manuals first. Far as I can see, it’s a bunch of BS instructions that error out halfway through for some reason or another.
