  • Child safety org launches AI model trained on real child sex abuse images

    Jump

  • It could be a very useful tool, indeed, but I wouldn't trust disphits who use "proprietary" as if its something to be proud of. If they really wanted to "protect the children", they should've at least released the weights, IMO (given releasing the training data is illegal as fuck)

  • TIFU by not using objects in my object-oriented programming coursework

    Jump

  • I mean, unless it's explicitly specified, one can still argue. For fun, that is. I did it a few times with stuff like using maps when the task said I couldn't use loops. Didn't really get into trouble since there was a proper solution ready as well.

  • But answer07 is an object... Not sure what your teacher/ta disliked 😆

  • Well, let's hope it'll piss people off into seing the light

  • I feel like most of the time Hugo and friends are quite enough. They may not be as flexible, but are certainly lighter, more secure, and easier to work with.

  • Are you vimming yet?

  • I can kinda understand folders that utilize this design to optionally give you a bigger screen, but this looks like folding for the sake of folding

  • Feeder works fine with the 1st 2, but the last has no articles (i mean the file the site provides) so it's hard to check. It can def. add it, tho

  • Elon Musk Fans Are Losing So Much Money to Crypto Scams

    Jump

  • I mean, "give access" and "double your bitcoin" are somewhat textbook phrases for scams...

    Although, I def. see how one can miss it at first. I remember one bank scam call where the thing that ultimately clued me in was a rather unprofessional response along the lines of "don't call crying back to us" when I've said I'm a bit busy to go check the card or whatever they've asked to, while what should've done this in the 1st place was another textbooky "have u transfered any funds to Joe Shmoe". Looking back, would've been funy AF to pull the Karen on them 🥲

  • I don't really understand the 1st requirement...

    allow 3rd-party app stores

    So, apparently f-droid/aurora/etc are not allowed or something?

    let stores distribute the same stuff gplay does

    As in "give 'em a way to pull stuff from gplay and not punish for letting ppl download it"? Mb useful, but the lack of specificity may defend the purpose. Like currently, AFAIK, nobody really prevents ppl from publishing both on gplay and f-droid, for example

    The rest lgtm

  • Russian TV companies demand 2 undecillion rubles from Google

  • You can, but why'd you want to platform something on a social network singlehandedly lowering the IQ of the whole IP address block?

  • Opera explains how it plans to keep uBlock Origin support as Google Chrome disables it

    Jump

  • No, they've definitely been Chinese last time I've checked. It's just that it seems a bit weird to me to distrust software just because it's Chinese, since foss stuff from china can be trusted as it's possible to audit it (say, shadowsocks or xray), and proprietary software from outside of china can send your data wherever it's programmed to (e.g. windows or chrome). Besides, while it's alleged China could influence Chinese developers to either hand over userdata or backdoor the software, it's not like other governments can't, and for an average Joe the consequences are, I suspect, more or less the same

  • s/owned by a Chinese public company/proprietary/

    Although another problem is that it doesn't bring anything new to the table. Yet another chromium browser with built-in proxies and data collection 🤷

  • The future of software is Nix

    Jump

  • Fair enough, I guess. Although I'm not sure I immediately see how nickel is better. Off the top of my head, typing would mostly matter in stuff like options, where we have type checks (ish) already, unless using types.anything or whatever else there is serving a similar purpose

  • The future of software is Nix

    Jump

  • Nix is typed: there are strings, paths, lists, attrsets, etc;

    Not sure what's wrong with CLI, as I don't really use it except nix flake update (although I remember updating stuff installed via nix profile being a bit cumbersome, but it's not exactly a good practice to use it this way);

    Good point with cache, although stuff outside of nixpkgs sometimes provides their own caches which are trivial to enable;

    Nobody forces you to use github:nixos/nixpkgs, it's just a regular input. Ppl quite often have their own forks. It's also trivial to use stuff from outside nixpkgs (also just another input);

    There are different builders (e.g. buildGoModule);

    Idk where you've found toxic community, my interactions have been pretty nice so far (mostly matrix rooms);

    GUI is optional, just like for all the other package managers. And it exists: https://github.com/snowfallorg/nix-software-center

    Perfectly agreed with nix not (yet 🙃) being the best thing that exists, tho, albeit due to different reasons. For example, it's a PITA to debug, and the error messages are sometimes unhelpful.

  • Apple reportedly tests an app to manage blood sugar

  • I suspect they'll need something more tangible to manage that...

  • Healthiest way to charge Lithium Ion

    Jump

  • Given qi2 uses magnets to properly align the coils in the phone and the charger, it should result in generating less heat and overall greater efficiency, so it very well may generate less or the same amount of heat [edit: despite the higher amount of energy transmitted ]... That is, if your phone supports it. But all things considered, it'll unlikely ever be as efficient, and, hence, warmer than a regular wired charger. I mean, you're pretty much going ac → dc in the power supply, then dc → ac in the inductive charger, then again ac → dc in the phone itself for no particular reason. That being said, pd also runs quite hot at times, so, IMO, smth like plain old 5v 1amp charger would be more preferable given the use-case
