Most people in tech that I know hate AI, including devs. I know one manager who is gung ho for it but everyone is annoyed by him and he was already well known for going apeshit over whatever the latest tech buzzword is before the whole AI craze kicked off.

Anecdotal I suppose, but IMO, most people who are actually technical seem to treat AI with a good degree of skepticism if not outright disdain.

There’s desktop iOS?

Better not submit nonsense reports.

Places have been reporting on this for over 20 years and not much has changed. Glad more people are finding out, but frankly, I doubt anything will really change in a substantive way.

learning recently

Have we? There have been articles about this in widely known publications like USA Today since 2006!

I thought back then, “Well surely people won’t stand for this!”

Here we are though…

Problem solved!

It could block websites/CDNs that host them if such a list existed though.

The devs aren’t worried about Janeway?

Riding netsplits, slapping people with trouts, those were the days…

My favorite controller is actually just a cheap 8bitDo 2c hall effect wired controller. Paid $20 but it works reliably and has a third shoulder button.

4chan was definitely around in 2008 but it was a lot more crazy random eclectic message board and a lot less nazi pedo bar. There were still shitty people there but it wasn’t the norm.

Doing nefarious things on the Internet is probably not much younger than the Internet. That take sounds like something someone who wasn’t around in the 90s would say. I still remember the Ping of Death, people abusing netsplits on IRC, scams, identity theft, fraud, etc. - this is not exactly a new thing and even predates the web, but it has continued to evolve throughout the years.

Hard pass on AA, but having a 21700 would be great: Epic battery life but it’s still standardized and swappable. I’d even take 18650s.

Work out in the morning or integrate exercise into your commute: I ride a bike to work (shoutout to [email protected]) and walk everywhere I can. Depending on where you work, you might even be able to get in some body weight exercises, light cardio, etc. between stuff. Do it in little bursts whenever you can, every little bit helps!

Keep in mind also you cannot out-exercise a bad diet, so try to eat healthy nutritious meals as opposed to fast food trash. Cut out beer and soda too. Doing this lost me probably 30-40 lbs, and I’m not quite back in fighting form but I’m doing better that I was a few years ago for sure.

Beats using oil, agreed, but plastic in our bodies is probably still very bad even if it’s plant based.

I hope this is true but I remain skeptical of the initial claims. PLA is supposedly biodegradable as well, however in practice, it only biodegrades under very specific circumstances that are tricky to sustain without putting a good amount of work and planning in.

Those also companies use VPNs when they transmit, bring burner devices, and take other countermeasures to try protect their data from theft.

Additionally, there are plenty of people who are citizens there and still get around their firewall.

Actually getting rid of encryption or making it ineffective would be a disaster: IP theft, identity theft, and all sorts of other problems would greatly intensify without it.

decrypt traffic

drop traffic that can’t be decrypted.

This would be an absolute fucking disaster for myriad reasons both technical and practical. Any politician who earnestly suggests it as any sort of solution 100% has no idea what they’re talking about and should not be taken seriously.

Yes, politicians talk about trying to do something like that, but the reality is that it would destroy security for businesses, institutions, and even the government itself. Encryption and VPNs are crucial to just about any modern business of even moderate size.

Oh damn, guess I should’ve like, read the documentation or something. Thanks!

I just switched to Heliboard. I like it, but I wish it had swiping.
