Schön, dass es hin und wieder auch gute nachrichten gibt.

Sounds illegal, though…

‘whoami’ and ‘who am i’ are two different things. Try it out.

Something like this?

alias ls=“who am i >> /var/log/intruder.log && logout”
alias l=“/usr/bin/ls”

Join a choir?

How about starting your own sub - here or on Reddit? Then you are the mod.

Auf dem Laptop habe ich auch Debian. Wenn ich damit draussen in freier Wildbahn bin, kann ich nichts zickiges gebrauchen und Debian ist dafür super. FreeBSD wäre allerdings mal einen Versuch wert.

I like svg, as it is basically an ASCII file. And i can manipulate them with sed/grep etc for bulk changes.

habe auch Linux auf dem Computer…

Kali, nehme ich an…

Fully agree. I would add that a child should be able to opt out in case their ‘other country’ does not allow multiple citizenships.

We would have to go a long way back, before religions became the first worldwide media outlets. Hard to imagine how we would do in a Neanderthal world. Must have been rad.

So why is a real “thinking” AI likely impossible? Because it’s bodiless.

Why would anything need a body to be intelligent? Just because we have bodies and whoever said that cannot imagine different forms of life/intelligence? Not that i think, current LLMs have the experience and creativity to be called intelligent. i just don’t think that everything that’s intelligent needs an arse :)

Depends on your definition of a “computer”. A shitty laptop surely doesn’t count, even less so if it runs Windows.

With that lack of sleep over such a long time, you won’t succeed. You’ll ruin your mind and body. You won’t make your mother proud if you break down. Please look for a plan B.

Ende der Ende zu Ende Verschlüsselung. Aber Meta verspricht ja, alles schön geheim zu halten, folglich ist ja alles gut!

Ich hab immer noch kein Whatsapp und so wird es auch bleiben.

William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy as Kirk and Spock in the early Startrek films and series.

I think, on a personal Linux desktop, more damage is done by malicious browser extensions than by actual viruses or root kits. So you could classify it as social engineering, maybe.

Once, someone sent me an Amazon link for baby nappies, and fool me clicked on it. Now Amazon showed boomer me baby nappies suggestions for the next six months. AI at its best… These things annoy me, so I try to avoid being tracked whenever reasonably possible.

OTOH, I am old and hope to not live long enough to experience any rogue government or whatever else persecuting me for having clicked on a baby nappies link years ago; so my threat model is short term only. I keep my privacy to a level, where it hopefully prevents as many annoyances as possible, but does not hamper what I am doing online too much. If I was younger, I’d likely do more.

Same here. I am not interested in religion (so not even really atheist), wife is Buddhist doing Buddhist things. Married for 40 years this year, and it’s not an issue.

The smell of wood!
