It’s weird how kids get accustomed to how a food should look and how that affects its taste to them.
There was a study where scientists wrapped home made hamburgers in McDonald’s wrappers and the same hamburgers in similar but unbranded wrappers and asked which tasted better. McDonald’s wrappers won.
Given the police are using AI to identify protestors…this gives me an idea.
As much as I would like to agree with you, permissive licenses are killing open source software as a whole since corporations absolutely abuse the software, provide very little value back to the code in return, and often DEMAND the authors patch their vulnerabilities.
Open source props up the world and the least that corporations could do is throw 0.0001% of their revenue their way. But they can’t even be bothered to do that.

You should know that there is no longer an official syncthing app and a clone has taken its place. It’s buggy but it works.
Permissions are a bit tricky to set up but I believe the clone app does it correctly by asking for full file browsing permissions.
My only complaint with KeePass is that if any corruption occurs, your passwords are borked. I use KeePass for non-critical accounts, like Lemmy, etc. I don’t trust myself or the sync enough for storing my bank or other identity passwords.
Absolutely LOVE syncthing. I recently had to go on an emergency trip and was glad I set up syncthing on my phone but hated that I didn’t set it up properly on my laptop.
The issue I have with non-credit card purchases is who owns the fraud transactions. For that reason alone, I don’t like the idea of giving any site full banking information, especially given the sheer amount of data exfiltration that takes place on a regular basis.

This is a great compromise honestly. More OSS devs need to be paid for their work and if an anime character helps do that, I’m all for it.
I can’t remember the court case per se but it involved a self driving car hitting a pedestrian I think.
My cursory search on Google seems to now show companies being held liable for AI hallucinations, with one court case currently pending where an AI chat bot encouraged a teen to commit suicide.
Given our current administration and make up of SCOTUS I’m not holding my breath.
Courts have ruled that using AI allows companies to avoid liability.
Schrödinger’s corporations: corporations are people and and not people, depending on how much money they stand to gain or lose.
I’ve actually done this as what looks like a horizontal line.
It doesn’t seem to help though.
I’m not in the autistic spectrum. They aren’t equals and they are barely tools.
One of the last posts I read on Reddit was a student in a CompSci class where the professor put a pair of googly eyes on a pencil and said, “I’m Petie the Pencil! I’m not sentient but you think I am because I can say full sentences.” The professor then snapped the pencil in half that made the students gasp.
The point was that humans anamorphize things that seem human, assigning them characteristics that make us bond to things that aren’t real.
Honestly this is the best suggestion especially if you can mount your windows partition read only. You get the benefits of Linux while still having access to your files.
For most folks, the biggest hurdle is getting compatible apps. Once you find the apps you need, moving over is just a backup and restore away.
DNSSEC always causes errors on my pihole set up and end up disabling it. The upstream is DoH though (via dnscrypt) so it’s technically DNSSEC but without the clients seeing the authentication. That’s enough for me.
At some point, I fully expect apps and websites to begin resolving DNS directly instead of relying on the OS to provide resolution services. At that point our options will be to wholesale block IP addresses at the router.
A better illustration:
Another friendly reminder that PayPal is not a bank. They don’t carry FDIC insurance. They aren’t regulated like a bank and you agree that they can do fuck all to your money at any time for any reason or no reason.
In other words,
STOP USING PAYPAL!
