Wtf is wrong with being a former heroin addict? I know plenty of drug users and former drug users who aren’t fascist shitstains and are actually pleasant people. Also like, you’re going after him for being a former addict? God forbid someone be in a bad place in life and luckily manage to recover from it… Addiction, a health condition, just morally scars you for life then? Would you say that about someone who recovered from cancer? Fuck off.
The terminal lets you delete the system with the same checks as GUIs, i.e. you’d be prompted for a privilege escalation password… If you delete random user files in the terminal then you can do that in a graphical file browser too. Just don’t run random commands without knowing what they do.
I really do think that’s their problem, and software shouldn’t cater to people who are afraid of checks notes typing. There can be real accessibility reasons why some users may require graphical tools due to various disabilities, but I don’t think it’s reasonable to feed into irrational fears of terminals when they can just copy paste in commands. It’s not programming, it’s very simple to understand the syntax of any command the average user might have to use (ie they’re not doing scripting or anything like that).
Auto upload to a remote location (e.g. VPS), ideally somewhere out of the country to really minimise chances of deletion. Could also have it auto upload to several places. You’ll need good enough internet connection to upload it though, so if they’re using signal jammers at a protest that could be a problem.
In terms of preventing deletion on the phone itself, you can’t really stop them from “losing” your phone, even if they can’t get into it.
Eat someone out while being eaten out. Same effect.
Have you ever tried to run an LLM locally? It makes CPU usage go way up, uses a lot of RAM, etc. It would tank game performance and/or require beefier PCs.
Games already have had AI for a long time, but the kind of AI you’re talking about would be far more computationally expensive than what they currently use.
For Android? K-Mail. I think they renamed it to Thunderbird now.
There are bots that openly advertise themselves as such. Less common on Lemmy than Reddit but I’ve seen a few.
undercover bots pushing agendas
Do we have any real evidence these exist? I only see very spurious accusations of being a bot directed towards communists and other left-wingers, particularly towards racialised people and colonised people. I’d be both sceptical of their widespread existence and of their efficacy at effecting any kind of political change even if they did exist.
I didn’t say it categorically wouldn’t happen, just that if that was the person’s real intentions then they’ve been very stupid about it. If you’re going to commit a murder don’t create evidence pointing to you. Like the other commenter said, a gun and self defence skills will cover you in both cases.
I’m a she. But yes, I think arming yourself is a good idea regardless of the likelihood you’ll need it.
Get a gun and learn how to use it.
But as other commenters have said, if he was actually intending on killing you, it’d be real stupid to call you in advance to say so. Most likely just wants to scare you.
It depends. I have worked for nonprofits and know a lot of people who do. Word of mouth/connections with people already working there is a good way to find relatively decent NGO work. You would likely be paid near minimum wage though, it’s true, but a lot of NGOs do have well-meaning people who try to make a difference working at the lower levels; they normally have a bureaucratic layer that sucks but your actual coworkers are normally quite sound if you can find the right job. And some NGOs still do overall decent work even if the leadership sucks; they aren’t revolutionary organisations by any means, but when you’re looking at jobs, you’d be comparing them to some generic corporate job which sucks more.
Then you can still look elsewhere in the nonprofit sector. It doesn’t have to be a law firm.
You could look for another job in the nonprofit sector. Your past experience will help you. You’ve not said what your specialisation is or what exactly you do—if you’re a lawyer and want to keep lawyer-ing, I suppose you could look for another nonprofit law firm, or something like a human rights law firm.
I think the point of the reddit screenshot is to show what Windows users are putting up with, not to share the meme itself.
This is just an archive. No different from using the wayback machine or any other archive of web content.
That’s why you don’t keep clothes if you wore them while committing a crime. Burn them.
So it mirrors repos before they go down? I think I get it if that’s the case; I thought it was just a host for “lost” software/source code in which case if you have a copy you can upload it to any software forge (if permitted by the licence). But if it’s meant to contain all software that currently exists, even if it shows no sign of disappearing, that makes more sense.
On duckduckgo.com it’s unfortunately enabled by default though. You have to go out of your way to set your search browser to noai.duckduckgo.com if you want default AI disabled (which you’ll want on e.g. private browsing windows/any browser that autodeletes cookies when you close it). It’s extra hassle because most privacy web browsers use DDG by default, not the noai subdomain.
