  • DOJ renews call for Google to sell Chrome, and Android could be next

    Jump

  • If only. I had the same thought, except it was somebody like GrapheneOS buying it and open-sourcing it, but it's still too early to say where things will go.

  • This just sucks all around. Google is a monopolistic miasma of suck, and the current DoJ is a fascist cesspool of suck. No matter the outcome here, I expect the average person will be the loser, and the billionaires will get richer/more access to our data.

  • If you're in the US and a citizen, you do not have to divulge your password to the authorities or even a judge, per the 5th Amendment. However, they can force you to use your fingerprint or FaceID to unlock your phone.

    If you think there's a chance the police might want to search your phone, be sure that you have a difficult pin pattern or password to unlock your phone at a minimum. Consider if bringing your phone is necessary. If you're going to a protest, do not bring your primary phone. Get a cheap burner or go without.

    If you're not a citizen, you need to think about leaving. Seek asylum anywhere but here. Vacation in Canada. The US is no longer safe for foreigners.

  • Looking to build a basic media-center PC

  • The motherboard you pick should have a QVL (Qualified Vendor List). It's basically RAM they've tested and verified to work with your motherboard.

    It's not rigorously tested at all, and stability comes down to a mixture of the CPU you pick and the silicon lottery, but it's a decent baseline.

    For brands, go with the ones you know. Crucial used to be my go-to, but they're focusing on SSDs and don't do RAM anymore (I do recommend their hard drives, btw). Pick a motherboard that has the features you want, but don't worry about things like PCIe5, since hardly any content even makes use of the full PCIe4 specification.

    Looks like you should be able to pick whatever motherboard you want with that case, so unless you are going with ITX, you shouldn't have to worry about clearances. ASRock tends to be the cheapest option, Gigabyte is somewhere around the middle, and MSI/Asus tend to be the most expensive, but the last also often come with extras. Just look into what each one offers, and don't settle.

  • Any Ryzen with integrated graphics should be able to do media and some light photo/video work. I don't know what your use case actually is, but paired with good RAM, I was able to play BioShock Infinite and Halo Infinite @ 1080p @ Medium settings using just a 5600G.

    Whatever AMD integrated graphics are out with the current gen should be more than sufficient.

  • Euro techies call for sovereign fund to escape US dependency

    Jump

  • Sounds good to me. The plutocrats in my country need to be taken down a few notches, and I'm already looking for ways to spend as little as I can in US companies (except local small businesses).

    1. It doesn't. I'm with you there.
    2. Many countries in Europe have very strong anti-defamation laws, unlike in the US. What you are allowed to say about people is very different from what you are allowed to say about practically anything else. Since OpenAI is in control of the model, it is their responsibility to ensure it doesn't produce results like these.

  • Not a Sonos.

    While I like the sound of my Sonos One, their app fucking sucks, and you have to use it to do anything (and I am supremely patient with technology). I am so close to just trashing it and the only thing stopping me is that I don't yet have a replacement for it.

  • Think of a person with the most average intelligence and realize that 50% of people are dumber than that.

    These people vote. These people think billionaires are their friends and will save them. Gods help us.

  • I use it for basic Python questions, but it gets even basic stuff wrong. The reframing can sometimes help me see new options when I get in a rut, but I'm not putting that code into production.

  • Bluesky users debate plans around user data and AI training

    Jump

  • It's that interoperability of unique instances that makes the Fediverse resistant to scraping. The posts are all public, but crawling it all and categorizing everything is probably like untangling a cotton ball.

  • Bluesky users debate plans around user data and AI training

    Jump

  • Graber replied that generative AI companies are “already scraping public data from across the web,” including from Bluesky, since “everything on Bluesky is public like a website is public.” So she said Bluesky is trying to create a “new standard” to govern that scraping, similar to the robots.txt file that websites use to communicate their permissions to web crawlers.
