2008 was Bush. Obama didn’t take office until 2009.

Nah, he’ll promise her a pardon or Supreme Court ruling in her favor in exchange for lying.

Apple’s entire software design philosophy is god-awful. There’s only one way to do things and if you don’t like “The Apple Way”, fuck you. “It just works” only works for very basic normie stuff. If you try to do anything advanced, it most likely won’t work and it’ll give zero feedback as to why.

That only applies to shut down. Restart will always do a proper reboot.

It’s pretty easy to know if you’ve spent a lot of time looking into a topic or not. If your knowledge consists of watching a YouTube video from a non-expert or picking things up passively, it’s probably better to stay quiet.

Lemmy has 100k users and, more importantly, almost zero countermeasures against botting and influence ops. It would not be some huge undertaking to target this place.

Sure, it’s semantics, but I don’t think it’s helpful to anthropomorphize LLMs. Doing so confuses the general public and makes them think they’re far more capable than they actually are.

Then please enlighten me. How do you think the DNC is run? What do you think the DNC actually does? (hint: it’s a lot less than the conspiracy theorists think)

No, because LLMs do not have agency and can’t “pursue” anything, nor do they have any ability to evaluate truth. They reproduce patterns that have been presented to them through training data.

What about it? Even if every single “irregularity” had been a vote for Bernie (they weren’t), he still would have lost. And if we had held some of those lower level positions, it wouldn’t have been able to happen.

The Democratic party is composed of people. If you replace all the people, it will be a new institution. It does not matter what it was previously.

Oh bullshit. Every bit of the Democratic Party is open to elections, including the DNC. Every one of those odious officials can be replaced. Reforming it won’t happen because progressives are lazy and feckless and don’t get involved in their local and state parties or vote in primaries and local elections.

Azure is a very close second behind AWS and has nearly twice the market share of GCP in 3rd place.

I think the more useful tactic is to undermine the right-wing propaganda machine. We’ve known Trump was a pedo for years. Why did Fox and all of them hide that information and cover for him? What else are they lying about?

Modern facial recognition cameras project a grid of infrared dots on your face and use the distortion of them to sense the depth and contours of your face. You’d have to 3d print a head to defeat it.

That said, Reddit is probably doing the bare minimum to comply with the law and will probably just use an uploaded 2d image.

They can force you to use your phone’s camera. Due to faceID, modern phones have fairly sophisticated cameras that can tell the difference between a static image and a 3d physical face.

It’ll almost certainly be an AI model doing it.

There was already abundant evidence of Trump’s link with Epstein. I think the more interesting aspect of this is that it was published in a Murdoch rag over Trump’s protests. It may be evidence the business elites are turning on Trump.

Haven’t they already used up their spending budget reconciliation bill for the year passing the BBB? Hopefully this will be filibustered to death then.

Edit: Nevermind, apparently rescission bills also bypass the filibuster.

When a remote code execution exploit is run, you often have a very limited payload you can deliver. Usually that means delivering a small downloader that then downloads and installs a backdoor from somewhere on the Internet

The standard counter-measure to protect your servers is to block all outbound traffic unless it’s to a known safe destination. Downloading the secondary payload over DNS gets around that since you can’t just block DNS. Tools to protect against this or DNS tunneling are still relatively new, so a lot of people haven’t implemented them yet.
