I only work in dumbass terrestrial systems administration, and even we do that (mostly because I pitch a fit when they try to test more than one thing at a time)
Aaahhhh, there we go
I feel like someone in this thread should be calling someone else a tankie, even if only for the meme of it.
The authorities should be able to dig through the possessions of massive companies that are fucking up so bad that planes fall out of the sky.
Then it still doesn’t matter. If an identified source gives information that isn’t verifiable, it’s still not actionable.
I don’t care who it is, they give the information, then authorities verify it. If it comes up verified, there you go.
SSO can be afforded by more than just cloud services. Look into OpenLDAP.
There are absolutely online stores that do that, but they’re usually gamer-focused, so there’s three issues;
Note: I’m taking about laptops, because it’s all I’ve bought for the last decade or more;
The non-gamer focused stores rarely (if ever) have the option (Lenovo, Dell, Microsoft, etc).
The gamer focused stores usually sell hardware that runs Linux like shit because the hardware needs extremely specific drivers (which isn’t necessarily an issue for Linux, but if it doesn’t exist yet, you’re either building them yourself, or waiting for someone else to do so).
The gamer focused stores are usually patroned by people who are all in on Windows gaming, because they don’t do much else with the system, so they don’t experience the kinds of annoyances that power users would gripe about (which is why the above point doesn’t compel those sellers to do anything different).
As for desktops, I really couldn’t say. Haven’t been paying attention for years. It’s possible that you could buy a system without a hard drive, never mind an OS.
I may be spoiled in that I don’t play AAA multiplayer games, but I do play AAA single player and indie single/multiplayer (usually the type where one of the players is also the server, e.g. Terraria).
Been running Linux on my systems for more than a decade, and - especially since Proton/SteamDeck enchantments made their way upstream - I haven’t had any major ssues (except having to wait a while to play RDR2-PC in Ubuntu because of a weird game-specific graphics card driver issue, but even that was fixed in due course).
Fuck Windows, and fuck the assertion that it’s the only way to run games.
You almost just killed me right now. Literally couldn’t breathe xD
Same for the people in court next to Farty McTrumpPants too, probably x’D
“Orange man with small hands does another illegal thing, this might be the end”
It never is. Fuck you to every sensationalistic “news” outlet that continues to post the same artcle with differnt herbs and spices for the 10,000th time.
He’s a douchebag. We all know already. Shut the fuck up about it unless he’s in jail or dies. Then shut the fuck up about his dumbass kids. I don’t want to start hearing about them for the next 40 years after I’m finally rid of their asshole father.
Usually they just over-pay for their computer because you can’t really buy a system without Windows pre-installed (unless you build it).
I have so many computers that came with Windows installations that I never even booted into.
I mean, my first reply to OP literally said the same thing, but sure, it’s me moving the goal posts.
And I’m not talking about private as in “who owns and has ‘rights’ to the data” because “discord is s private company with TOS” (which offers zero protection, since scrapers don’t care about TOS, even when the scraper is a major company - See StabilityAI, Google, et al).
I’m taking private as in “not any random person can log in and see it”. Private discord servers and DMs don’t appear to be included. That’s the “private” I’m taking about.
Imagine having private conversations in private.
This data was apparently scraped from public channels.
I understand the vector, I’m just saying that maybe if people had conducted themselves responsibly, this wouldn’t be an issue.
Hiding behind a moniker to do things you would normally be shunned is bad for everyone. It allows trolls to thrive, reduces or removes the impetus for broader social change/evolution (offline, that is), and fosters echo chambers full of people who have zero responsibility to regulate what they say for the sake of sanity (because fuck it, who’s gonna call them on their bullshit, right? And even if someone does, “they’re” not being judged, “their profile” is, so they can separate themselves from any criticism without doing any self-reflecting).
If you want to post something (text, art, etc) and you have to stop and think about your reputation, that’s a good thing. It means you should either not do something stupid, or you should stand behind your actions, and give support to others to do/say that thing.
The other option is to post behind a fake name knowing that there are no consequences, and just call it a day (which is why the opinion of the average post is so easily dismissed at “some random person on the Internet”).
And if you really do need anonymity (because the thing your discussing is super difficult or dangerous for you)… maybe don’t fucking have that conversation in a public discord channel?
criminals could use that kinda data for blackmail.
Maybe… don’t say shit on the internet that would embarrass you if associated with your real name?
Indeed. Though that’s only my surface level complaint.
On a deeper level; LLMs just fuckin’ suck ass. They aren’t people, stop assuming they can do things that people can do.
