But on the third hand,

I know an AI comment when I see one /jk

I think he has repo pre ChatGPT with legitimate usecases, while that would not be a conclusive proof, I cannot imagine some chatbot would bother with this.

This dude need to chill, he also pushed the systemd change, and in his blog he seems to believe android “advance flow” for sideloading protects users.

The one they are targeting is California’s AB-1043, which still have three quarters of a year before it comes into effect…

I think this dude might get too excited for his new subscription of claude code or whatever, and decided to spam every project with these request. Some of these are reasonable, some are compliance in advance.

Also this dude writes two freaking blog every week with LLM. If I were him, I would try to find some joy in my personal life…

Seems like this one still exists https://github.com/flatpak/xdg-desktop-portal/pull/1922

The good side: I feel it might enables me to better setup parental control in the future. If software read from the age field, then the blocking can be more robust than a simple DNS sink hole by pihole, which is really easy to get around, with mobile data or directly visiting IP address.

I do find this field is fundamentally different from verification using government issued ID (yet). I will definitely fight the next one, but I am kind of okay with this one.

Cons: it is additional fingerprint parameter, I hope the xdg-desktop protocol can be implemented to give out as little information as possible for the age field, instead of just handing the birthday field to every app that ask for it. And I hope all adult who don’t have any age-based content filtering needs will opt to leave the field empty.

I think the law in Brazil have already come into effect at the time of the merge. So it is not really compliance in advance.

Unlike fern and tldrnews, I don’t think they declared no AI, but I feel most of there animation seems to involve a lot of human labors, at least on top of AI.

They have also never declared the use of AI either, so I guess I don’t know for sure.

I should specify I am referring to mainland China. Hong Kong has a different health care systems, and the health care is usually considered reasonably affordable for residents (could be because people in Hong Kong are generally more wealthy than most of mainland China)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Healthcare_in_Hong_Kong

I want to add China’s healthcare is still reasonably affordable for many people living and working in cities.

No they don’t. They have state provided health care, supplemented with private options.

But they are not universal in the sense that (1) not the entire population is covered (although almost everyone is) (2) health care is not close to free for most people.

There is literally a hit movie couple years ago about the difficulty to obtain affordable Imatinib: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dying_to_Survive

(Imatinib was later covered by state health care package because of this movie

It is optional field and can be unset and set to arbitrary value by the administrator. If you can build your own OS, isn’t it easier to just unset this value?

I feel if everything they said is true, then this is a reasonable solution. But from my many Youtube scammer video experience, like people have already mentioned, most scammers use standard remote access software, not some bespoke APK.

I teach computer science at a uni. I would much much perfer student to ask me the question instead of LLM. I will give them a much better answer because the LLM probably learned from my published stuff, which is already super surface level, and then they will distill again.

I understand this is not feasible for larger classes, especially introduction classes. But please, if you ever move on to upper level classes and professor welcomes questions, talk to the professor, not the LLM.

I got a lot of flipboard content on mastodon, but I don’t know if that “grows” flipboard.

Why have we been talking about EU chat control for years. How many time have this been voted on? and can people just keep popping up chat control if the previous one fail?

I find the social media (piefed and mastodon) I use are busy enough to keep me entertained, not too busy to make me addictated.

BTW, it loads fine now :)

I am able to access it pretty consistently on interstellar and the web, but it is so slow it is not really a decent experience.

For me, connecting from the U.S., takes around 5 – 15mins, but I can barely vote on anything.

I remember there is a post stating that LemmyNSFW is eating up the VPS resource, and the provider throttled the VPS, which also include FediNSFW. My guess is that after LemmyNSFW is down, people are eagar to backup that instance, which created an absurd amount of traffic.

What about when you hang out outside on a weekend, then that is easily two meals outside.

Do you not hang out outside that long or do you go home for lunch and go back out?
