Bad News Nobody

@Tutanota@mastodon.social They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear! And they absolutely will not stop, ever, until you accept mass surveillance!

@overholt@glammr.us That's something only a sociopath would say.

@agatha @eniko knuth too? fucking hell. i still have his books in my amazon whishlist. time to do some cleanup i guess. so sad.

@rysiek he sounds like he's into some religious cult or something

@anderseknert "I will extend you grace and I hope you do the same." What. These people are completely insane.

@ErikJonker@mastodon.social @ElenLeFoll@fediscience.org But it is evil, and nobody should use it. It's destroying the planet, livelihoods, our brain. Using it is intellectual dereliction, an insult to humanity and life itself.

@VoltPaperScissors@chaos.social wait until you learn about analog computers

@juanfr@mastodon.social Somebody tell OpenAI all they need is a Spectrum! https://archive.org/details/exploringartific0000hart

@Sylocule@cyberplace.social @pluralistic@mamot.fr In Italy we cheaped out and got 1G/300M, and we are stuck with that for decades to come. In big cities there's 10G/2G, but otherwise there's only Temu fiber - and some poor souls are still on VDSL...

@ErikJonker @soulsource @pojntfx Mandatory age verification is hardly improving anything, esp. if tied to Google/Apple accounts. Also you can very easily lose your Google account and be effectively blocked out of all public discourse. This is garbage tech that should have never be allowed to exist.

@anildash@me.dm Sorry but there's no "good AI".

@pikesley@mastodon.me.uk @peter_mcmahan@mas.to @madargon@is-a.cat @davidgerard@circumstances.run they are convinced they have created Lt. Cmdr. Data and use The Measure Of A Man as their main argument, while at the same time doing the exact opposite of what Picard stood for.

@jalefkowit@vmst.io @cwebber@social.coop Isn't AI-as-a-service heavily subsidised at the moment though? This can't go on forever.

@Natasha_Jay Fuck this shit. AI is garbage tech and completely useless. There's nothing to salvage here. I say we nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

@rootwyrm@weird.autos @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @davidgerard@circumstances.run Win 3 (16-bit) applications don't work on Win 11 anyway. For all the rest of legacy applications (from Win 2000 to Win 10) they can always ask Copilot to vibe code something like WINE for them, assuming it's not busy converting all C++ code to Rust.

@Tutanota Listen. And understand. That nazis are out there. They can't be bargained with. They can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

@oatrapado@mastodon.social @gamingonlinux@mastodon.social always has been

@Gargron@mastodon.social We won't, the US is our biggest commercial partner and ally. The best we can hope from EU is silence, but more probably it will be excuses on why we will actually support them.

@rootwyrm@weird.autos @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @davidgerard@circumstances.run idk, at microsoft they don't seem to know this, you tell them. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/troubleshoot/windows-client/application-management/x64-windows-not-support-16-bit-programs

@rootwyrm@weird.autos @david_chisnall@infosec.exchange @davidgerard@circumstances.run It's right at the start: "for all IA-32 editions of the Windows NT family (not included with 64-bit versions of the OS)." I don't know what sorcery is required to make it run on Win 11, but whatever it is it's not official, I don't think it can be considered as a promise of any kind. I think it's time to drop this mythological backward compatibility.

@electricfusionQ @Maristya @emptywheel.bsky.social and the image seems ai generated

@ErikJonker @soulsource @pojntfx We need portable software, a concept even older than me. This application could have been engineered to be portable from the start, instead they cheaped out, with hard requirements like having a Google/Apple smartphone. This is unacceptable.

@ylegall@genart.social in an age of slop I enjoy a bit of drop

@gytisrepecka @cwebber "working"

@Techaltar@mas.to Many consider it a war, and in war you pick a side. You start talking about details after you've won.

@mastodonmigration@mastodon.online Max temperature in Washington on July 4 1976 was 83 °F (28.3 °C), today's temp at 1PM is 100 °F (37.8 °C). Lot of work to do.

@streetartutopia@mastodon.online CEO of Toyota is paid $13M for selling 11mil cars with a net income of $45B. CEO of Tesla is paid $1T for selling 1.8mil cars with a net income of $7.1B. Someone please help me make this make sense.

@QasimRashid@mastodon.social Iraq and Libya cannot be more different than Venezuela. At the very least the people of Venezuela have a real sense of nation.

@gdal@mastodon.social use LLMs going forward? bloody hell. do that and this historical, fundamental, pivotal project will implode. which would be an absolute disgrace.
