Die Epstein Files sind mittlerweile die Ablenkung. Egal wie schlimm was auch immer in dem Moment passiert ist, die Hälfte der oppositionell ausgerichteten Leute schreit “Epstein Files”!

Jeder den’s interessiert weiß, dass die Files vernichtend für Trump sind / sein werden. Sie zu veröffentlichen ändert daran gar nichts. Seine Basis wird ihn glauben wenn er schreit “Hoax”.

Ne, in der Mitte:

Nihongo ga dekimasu ka? / 日本語が出来ますか

Aber alles gut. Ich auch nicht. Hab nur die Gelegenheit zum Klugscheißen genutzt. Gomennasai!

Fehlt da nicht ein が?

There might be some people thinking along those lines, but I’d be careful to tread into the territory of conspiracy theories. To me this seems a lot more like a case of “The bad implications are pretty obvious when you think about it - but we can’t let that stand in the way of making a profit!”.

I’d like to add that this doesn’t even necessarily have to be intentional.

I’m certain the current bubble will pop sooner rather than later, but by that point (and today already as well), all the infrastructure, the data centers etc. will already have been built.

And they will not just disappear.

Some might be scavenged for parts to be sold off, but far more likely, I unfortunately think, is that governments will (be lobbied to) step in, and prevent the loss of hardware, of companies, and especially of jobs. They obviously won’t start the money-burning, consumer-facing ChatGPTs & Co again, so what else can we do with all that hardware that’s sitting there, looking for a purpose?

Exactly the thing the person above me said. Implement the surveillance state at an unprecedented scale and speed, because those GPUs need SOMETHING to do, lest all that capital be wasted.

There will be a bailout, and we’ll all suffer for it.

Personally identifiable information.

Yeah! Because famously, labor cost is what the high US healthcare costs go towards!

Sorry, unfortunately can’t help you there. My matrix server is not federated, I remember back then I created an account on matrix.org specifically to read these. But maybe they got deleted in the meantime?

Anyways, I have been really happy with continuwuity, to the point that up until now, I haven’t even looked at tuwunel again. The maintainers of continuwuity seem really nice and engaged, and both from a usage and stability point of view, as well as for the actually surprisingly fast release cycle, I have no complaints. I found and fixed a bug a couple weeks ago, and the dev process was also very friendly and relaxed.

In short: while I don’t know how things are on the tuwunel side, I’m very happy to have gone with continuwuity and have high hopes for the future of the project.

And yet, in non-English speaking countries, virtually every kid is taught English to a level that’s at least “roughly business”.

I also reject your premise of 8 hours / day for a year; how about 1-2 hours / day for 4-8 years.

In the case of English, school kids would get more like 2-4hrs per week and be perfectly fluent after a couple of years, btw.

a number of these things are actual security exploits

yes, sure, but in the sense of “social engineering the slopbot”, not “there’s a vulnerability in [x] which does not apply proper sanitation to non-body text content before evaluating it”

Ah, makes sense. My mind was going more towards actual security exploits, but… yeah. Makes sense.

Anyways, thank you Flere-Imsaho, I will never not love seeing your username on here.

I’m apparently too out of coffee dumb to properly get the joke. What’s the implications if some system parses the PNG text chunks in the same way it does the body of the email?

Let’s hope the same thing will happen if/when the US tries to take Greenland; but honestly, I’m not optimistic. At least here in Germany, politicians and businesses are so used to licking the US’ boot that I have a hard time imagining a seismic shift. Not to mention that thanks to our dependence on US software, we’re incredibly vulnerable.

Still. One can hope.

Warte nach 8 Jahren immer noch auf reine Haut, aber ansonsten, joa!

Incredible?

You do have a point. TBH I only now realized that the video was posted from Doctorow’s personal account, and without a link to the “original”, which yeah, kinda weird.

The talk itself is still worth it (had the fortune of sitting in the audience), but probably a good idea to use the media.ccc.de link.

Originally/additionally hosted on media.ccc.de

Danke, bester Lacher den ich heute hatte

Mein feuchter Traum ist ein Verbot nicht-chronologischer Feeds auf Social-Media-Plattformen, die unter den DMA fallen

Yeaaaaah I saw that on the schedule and decoded to not go, lol.
