The point I am making is about protecting teens from adults. So teen-per-default means that adults can freely talk to teens, which should be prevented. Either allow no teens on your platform, or teens have to proof that they are teens first.
Adults (and teens for that matter) are pretty good at obfuscating grooming.
So an adult could just create two accounts, one to access teen spaces, where they don’t verify their age l and one for accessing adult spaces, where the age gets verified?
Teamspeak isn’t open source… Use Mumble, MediaMTX or Matrix instead.
Most people use whatever is the default, even if that default doesn’t perfectly is to their needs/wants.
That applies even to people that changed their search engine form Google to Duckduckgo.
Every decisions takes some energy to think about, and the human brain wants to avoid spending energy as much as possible.
That is why LLMs should be opt-in/by-request instead of opt-out. If people want to occasionally use them, they can decide themselves if spending that additional electricity is worth it.
Search engines and LLMs are different things, one is for finding content written by humans, the other is for getting a plausible answer to a inquiry.
Well, it shouldn’t be carbon neutral… It should used to get carbon out of the atmosphere and into a less damaging substance.
Carbon capture does not replace getting rid of our dependency on burning fossil fuels.
We wouldn’t get back the same amount that we are burning anyway. So this approach is worse, because dumb people think it would save us, without us changing the way we produce energy.
It is worse, because it is a distraction from actually doing something.
Carbon dioxide needs to be captured were there is a lot of carbon dioxide in the air. So especially around cities with lots of car traffic, or around fossil fuel power plants…
So… It would be better to stop car traffic and fossil fuel power plants first, before doing carbon capture. And the purpose of that should be, making the air cleaner. And putting that carbon back into a less environmental damaging state.
IDK, OSM is much more detailed and up to date.
No, it isn’t part of the EU.
It is part of the Kingdom of Denmark, which isn’t in the EU. Only Denmark, a country within the Kingdom is in the EU.
However, the citizen of Greenland are citizen of Denmark, thus EU citizen.
But you are right that Greenland has a closer relationship with the EU, then Ukraine. And the EU and allies want to protect its citizens at least. And via its member state Denmark, the constituents of Kingdom of Denmark as well.
Edit: To be honest, I have no clue what happens to citizen of Greenland, if US would take over… Would they be EU and US citizen? Would they have to leave? Well… Let’s hope that doesn’t get answered anytime.
So like syncthing but you have to pay for it and requires a server. Seems useless…
If you want to sync while not all devices are online, just spend 50$ or something and get a RPI and put syncthing on it.
Yes he is pathetic and he is a bully.
And too many people think bullies that just take what they want are ‘strong’.
Recently deepwiki links started popping up in my search results, when I wanted to research some software. They offered so much genenerated ‘documentation’ that it caused so much confusion and irritation to me, I installed an extension just to block this site from my search results.
Why do I ever need to read the ‘architecture’ or whatever from an ancient no longer maintained project. The deepwiki page didn’t mention that it isn’t maintained, but the readme.md in the repo states it clearly at the very top with big letters…
Any suggestion for a browser plugin that blocks AIslop pages from search results? I think we really need some kind of ad block for this, but differently. A well maintained list of pages containing AI slop and then filtering out those pages from search results instead. So that the internet becomes/remains usable and mostly unpoisend by this stuff.
AIslop should never outrank human created content.
I am not someone that cries about the end times much, but… If this issues isn’t addressed effectively and the internet becomes filled with aislop that outrank and thus hide human content… it becomes useless… We might really have to look for a new one…
The internet is for connecting humans through their machines. If it starts to exist without requiring humans, then it can be its own thing and humans have to find something else then.

Tons of people in STEM fields dreamt about it for years.
Not a native English speaker but “dreamt” is past tense, so they stopped dreaming, implying they stopped because now we have “AI”.
Prediction and pattern recognition is not general AI. This is just what LLMs and image generators do. They find plausible continuations starting from a noise to better fit the disired outcome. They don’t have real contextual knowledge about a domain. To them everything is just numbers that can be manipulated until they fit better. They don’t just instantly know the correct or incorrect answer because of a deeper understanding on the matter.
Well… We still don’t have AI. We got language and picture generators…
That really depends on your definition of ‘left-wing’.
Because I would argue that ‘left-wing’ is not only a descriptor for a political agenda. It also that includes economic issues. To me an economic system is pretty important part of a political system.
For instance, I would say that ‘free market communism’ doesn’t exist. I would also say that ‘authoritarian communism’ doesn’t exist. To me authoritarian and socialistic ideas are not compatible, because power is in the hands of an elite, and control mechanisms of that power were never strong enough. Control mechanisms of democracies worked generally better, but democracies also need to be properly defended and maintained.

True. But most good stuff isn’t a solution for everyone. It takes real effort to escape vendor-lockin. Bigtech made sure of that.
If something is too simple to set up or requires no set up, or comes from a for-profit company, but doesn’t cost anything, then it always suspicious.
I am just saying that the issue is not with passkey itself, but the individual implementations and that google/twitter/etc. is pushed towards regular users.
Critiquing passkey because vendor-lockin is like critiquing HTML for allowing ads.
True. But I would say that this isn’t an issue intrinsic with passkey. Many people don’t have time/energy or the attitude to think critically about technology and are herded towards Google/X-corp/etc with offers of convenience and because they are often the only offered choice on the web sites. But from the POV of passkey they just act as a password manager.
But isn’t that the wrong approach?
If you want to choose something better, shouldn’t be ‘enshittificationability’ be the main point you want to address? That is the reason discord is doing most of the bad stuff. Proprietary software is about enshittification.
