60% of adults in US have digital assistants? I find that hard to beleive. Or is it 60% of people who use digital assistant, use it for the weather? (EDIT: it is the second option, mentioned in the graph) The graph does not have “I don’t use an assistant” in it, and it’s not mentioned anywhere in the article (tho I only skimmed it), so it’s just a clickbait headline.

This, the internet is already filled with AI slop articles that by now make majority of what’s posted here, and adding “OMG LOOK AT WHAT AI SAID” posts makes it even worse, and it’s pretty difficult to make a blocking filter for.

Don’t they already have your ID/details, assuming you paid them with your credit card?

What the fuck? How is this not illegal? It’s literally a scam.

That’s rich, coming from a company that got caught with .cursor file in their public repo.

Is it working for you now? I didn’t have any issues for the past few months, but they changed their anticheat to denuvo in a yesterday’s patch (or rather, do a technical test for later rollout), and I’m getting security violations now.

Haha, “backlash”. Yeah, sure.

People don’t give a shit, they will forget that it’s happening once news articles move to a different flavor of the week topics.

And the people that get into a choice of “prove with a photo/Id you are old enough or you can’t watch this video” will just begrudgingly comply and never think about it again.

My absolutely favorite take about art is the one from the edge of the 19->20th century, where they got obsessed about art having to be absolutely separated from reality, to be even worth considering, since that would only taint it, and just be perfect.

So in that case, I have no issues with separating the art from the artist. Or, since they also tried to make art out of their lives (the whole dandy thing), which made basically professional posers, I also don’t mind separating morality/reality from the artists and viewing their life as art. For example, Motley Crue were extremely bad people to be around, but their lifestyle was portrayed well enough that it does sound kinda fun (as long as you don’t actually live like that in reality), so I don’t judge and kind of appreciate them trying.

On the other hand, if someone is a dick as an artist without their behavior being refined enough to pass as an art/pose/dandyism, I make sure to not give them any money whatsoever, or promote their products, and just shittalk and laugh at them. Even if their actuall art is good, which I will probably enjoy, but will definitely not pay for.

Is it a good take on the question that makes sense? Probably not, but it does work for me.

KryptEY, an android keyboard that adds PGP encryption into any chat provider.

So, once ChatControl passes, this will be the only way how to keep your chats private. So, you’ll be able to send PGP encrypted messages through messanger/instagram/discord/whatever.

It has some issues, no group chats, but once chatcontrol passes, this will be the only private way.

Tbh I have no idea, I just like the evolution stone analogy :D

That’s my favorite thing about axolotls.

They do live in water, but if you neglect them enough (or feed them special [hormone] evolution stones), they will say “fuck this”, grow legs, evolve into slamanders and leave.

As soneone who does 3rd party Red Teamings, I’m looking forward to it. That recall file is going to be a goldmine for our engagements, which are getting harder and harder thanks to EDRs and general advancements in the field.

Hmm, I’ve recently tried the WoW’s Mists of Pandaria classic server, and the general chat was wild. Extremely racist and anti-woke.

I thought it’s because of the demographic the classic servers target - nostalgia for people that are around their 40s now, but this may explain some of it.

True, I forgot that in asymetric crypto, you can simply send a meta/service message “give public key or install extension”, and that should work in most cases.

Although, the main threat profile is Chatcontrol, and that could be MITMd by the chat provider, if the extension would get popular enough.

I wonder if there is a way how to establish keys over public chat provider, if the provider has active interrest in breaking your encryption.

I was thinking about similar concept - E2E encrypted chat, but build on top of other existing services, through a Browser extension and PGP. The extension would just handle message encryption and decryption with PGP, and the rest can be sent through Messenger infrastructure, or anything like that.

The only issue is key exchange.

How do you handle secure key exchange in this case?

I’ll probably stop using as much as I can.

Research VPNs, more importantly get up to date about stuff like Snowflake, to have a backup once VPNs are illegal.

I’ll probably look into getting a residential VPN from somewhere where the verification isn’t required, for as long as it will be feasible.

Get back to pirating music and all the other content they won’t let me access.

What the fuck?

Is it still just an AI+ cpu core feature, or dod they push this everywhere? If I should check on my gf’s PC and disable all the AI shit, since I’m already on Linux.

Is it a problem anymore with proton?

Or rather – is testing the game on Linux via proton sufficient, or do you actually look for native Linux builds?

I’m honestly interested as a dev who recently released my game I worked on free time, and I decide to go the route of single Windows build + proton, since it makes the build and release process a little bit easier, since I have a custom CI/CD pipeline and adding a Linux support into it would take some time.

And as someone who has a Linux as a daily driver and game only on Linux, having the game run on it was important to me, but I honestly didn’t see a reason why go with a native build and the additional trouble it would cause with testing - because now I can just test one windows build on my Linux desktop through proton, and be fairly sure that it runs OK on both.

I couldn’t find any more pictures, but is that how Hololens work(ed?)

Just trying to picture how it looks and works, since the article only vaguely describes it.

Edit: Ha, the paper has a pic.
