How exactly do you think stuff around you works? Machine learning is everywhere gobbling up massive swaths of data wherever possible. Insurances, work shift planning, goddamn Spotify. All are using ML and have for years. To think you can just stay away from those Models is ridiculous.

Accessibility is “no reason”?! I never called someone ableist before, but… gosh, you’re coming close.

The visually impaired will certainly agree that not helping them with a local AI model is a sacrifice worth being made for the purely moral stance of “no AI at all”.

Well, that’s why raw or flash pasteurized milk is almost impossible to get into supermarkets here in Germany. The regulations are crazy, if it’s possible at all.

Isn’t that comparison asinine? I mean… Yeah, no shit. One is a handheld PC and the other isn’t.

Furthermore, I don’t trust Microsoft to not do a gigantic oopsie and introduce a bug that emails screenshots of porn websites I visited to my Mum or some shit. Their QC is abhorrent.

Close as “won’t fix”. Easy. That’s what their customer service does to your ticket, too, if it’s too much to handle, so…

Thing is: They are so stinkin’ rich already… They’d probably stash the cash somewhere and that’d be that.

Or Trump up some wild charges about tax fraud or something

So we want Google and such to ignore laws when we think they should be ignored? Who decides which is which then?

I don’t get the premise of posts like that. We scold Google and other corps for not following the laws they are supposed to follow (data protection for example).and then we scold them for daring to follow lawmakers, when we don’t like the laws they follow. Which is it?

It’s very premise is the polar opposite of interesting or innovative. It’s pretty much the white bread of Linux: incredibly bland, but will fit into everything that requires bread.

How can this be damaging if you ain’t trying to sell it to us in the first place?

Perhaps what they developed is a bunch of Windows 2005 Servers stacked on top of each other

Perhaps their “stack” only ever uses caddy

Can we all agree to call this vulnerability “Poobear”?

Yeah, what they are saying is that time you spent in the game counts as time you spent in the game. I’m honestly surprised this wasn’t the case all along.

Interesting. Is getting seeds such a huge deal?

Added an usb drive by its /dev/sd** identifier to fstab without the nofail option. Wanted to do a quick reboot for something I can’t remember, then copy the files over to the USB drive, since I’d need them on the next day and… no boot. The reboot had assigned another name to the drive (/dev/sdb instead of /dev/sdc or something) and automount wouldn’t skip it because nofail was missing. In the middle of the night, with files I required right the next morning. Fun times.

You can make your speakers go BRRRRRRRRR via Home Assistant with it
