  • Imagine if you pirated a bunch of movies, and then went to the cinema actors' doorstep and bragged about it.

  • Rapist mentality all the way. How fitting they're all either owners of or owned by to the rapist in the White House.

  • Wellesley must be spinning in his grave (he probably was already at the lack of hats in parliament, but that's besides the point)

    I strongly disagree. Parliament is chockful of asshats.

  • Tbh, I've never bothered to figure out how SSHing into an Android device works.

    You're right about the security of older versions of Synching-Fork if you remember to configure it to only do syncs locally (it's not configured like that by default).

  • I share your sentiment about Syncthing-Fork and the botched handoff to researchxxl. I have yet to implement the Termux-based workaround that allows me to use Syncthing from the browser without the Android app / wrapper. It looks pretty clean as it's just pure Syncthing with a little starter script.

  • If you are incapable of prioritising what you want to be true over what your senses and your common sense tell you to be true, I'm afraid to inform you that you're no good MAGA material.

  • So... People don't believe that Operation Epstein Fury is not about aiding the Iranian people topple the mullah regime? Bummer!

  • Who knows which of the voices drives the orange shitgibbon at any given moment? And frankly: who cares any more? We know the voice of reason is not among them.

  • After outages, Amazon to make senior engineers sign off on AI-assisted changes

    Jump

  • Precisely. From Cory Doctorow's latest, very insightful essay on AI, where he talks about the promise of AI replacing 9 out of 10 radiologists:

    "if the AI misses a tumor, this will be the human radiologist's fault, because they are the 'human in the loop.' It's their signature on the diagnosis."

    This is a reverse centaur, and it's a specific kind of reverse-centaur: it's what Dan Davies calls an "accountability sink." The radiologist's job isn't really to oversee the AI's work, it's to take the blame for the AI's mistakes.

  • While cstom ROMs of Android TV do exist, Samsung does not want you to truly own your device and has locked it down. The only option I see is to use your TV as a dumb TV: hook up any PC to your TV's HDMI ports (I use a Raspi 5 running Ubuntu for that). The PC gives you full control over what you want to install, which may include an adblocker in the browser or free YouTube frontends such as FreeTube.

    No drop-in replacements for everything TrueNAS did, but at least something.

  • recommending Ubuntu to a non-technical family member invites more trouble than relief.

    Backing up claims with evidence has come out of fashion, I see. But doing so would have shown the author that his couldn't be further from the truth: in fact, people with very limited computer literacy and needs (a bit of browsing, media consumption, communication, light office use) are the easiest demographic to migrate to Linux. It's the power users with their multitude of applications and deeply ingrained habits that may have a hard time to make the switch. And I've seen even those come 'round because they're getting tired of MS breaking their OS every other week now and forcing shit down their throat that they neither want nor need.

    But, no, let's ignore all that and go for the obvious solution: a 600 USD Macbook that will put people through the same pains of transitioning to a different system, only to be yet again vendor-locked to a new corporate environment that will chip away at their ownership of their machines until it, too, is fully enshittified.

  • Self hosting [...] P2P

    You do realise that's a contradiction, right?

    Unless you're hosting a TOR node (which is outside of the scope here and, in the case of exit nodes, extremely risky), there's nothing here that's relevant to self-hosting.

    Oh, but they are! All that money burned in operation Epstein Fury ensures sick people will stay in power.
