Obligatory eye-roll.

Do you use Arch by any chance?

PS. Two of my machines run Endeavour OS, the other MX XFCE ;-)

baggins, to privacy in Drones trespassing in my property
@baggins@beehaw.org avatar

EDIT: Also check if you legally can physically eliminate the drone in that case. It’s the most effective strategy.

Just tell the police you were clay pigeon shooting and the drone flew into your path.

baggins, to technology in Adobe Announces That They Can Use Your Content for AI
@baggins@beehaw.org avatar

In a word, no. They are focused on the Adobe name. A bit like Apple, lots of good alternatives but who wants to be seen with a ‘insert non fashionable name here’ phone. There was a time when Adobe was king, not anymore though.

This. No amount of excuses or lengthy explanations. It’s childish and unprofessional.

So what are we looking at, the next 5 years?

From the article

This would make charging phones, laptops, and even electric cars much more efficient and convenient.

It was a joke.

Thing is, if it’s non toxic, then it’s possibly safe. Maybe not pleasant, but not poisonous. Just as bad as pineapple on pizza.

Wonder how long it’ll be before we get suggestions about eating detergent capsules or drinking bleach to cure covid.

Training your AI on Reddit was never a good idea though, you just have to look at all the crap on there to realise that. Let’s just hope they didn’t use Facebook as well, or worse, Quora!

Thank you.

Thought so. That was my point.

Samsung have Expert RAW for their (high end?) phones. That’s probably Samsung only though.

baggins, to technology in Someone got Gab's AI chatbot to show its instructions
@baggins@beehaw.org avatar

Thanks - and it’s no doubt intended and they might has well named it Fuhrer, but we need to stay better than them.

@baggins@beehaw.org avatar

Have to play devil’s advocate here. I totally agree that naming your chatbot Aryan is a bit of a giveaway, but does it say that exactly anywhere? All I can see is Arya. That is a legitimate name, even more popular since Game of Thrones. This crap is bad enough without making false claims about it. We’d be quick enough to call the other side out when they made a false claim. We shouldn’t adopt their practices. We’re supposed to be better than that.

Yes, they had a million and one things designed to catch your head, knee, elbow, eye etc. What that diagram doesn’t make clear is the bench seat running down the centre for the operators and Command Post Officer (CPO) to sit on. Underneath that were the batteries for FACE, 8 (or possibly 6) great big 12v 100ah lead acid things. Space was at a premium. In this pic I’m sitting with my back to the teleprinter and Bob Cooper was sitting on the commanders seat - it used to drop down and become a seat for a signaller :-) This would have been taken about 1983/4 https://beehaw.org/pictrs/image/2efa6209-1f32-49f8-abb2-dabda1bb9ce8.webp
