elshandra, to privacy in Why I no longer use a VPN (most of the time) and nor should you - YouTube

How are there so many stupid people here already?

elshandra, to privacy in Why I no longer use a VPN (most of the time) and nor should you - YouTube

If you’ve got something you’re that worried about keeping private, go home, and break everything with a computer chip, a radio/network. Because if it’s not listening now, it’s only an update away.

elshandra, to gaming in I tried two demos of machine learning AI NPCs, and they didn't convince me AI will lead to anything that immersive sims like Deus Ex haven't already done better

All your base are belong to AIs

elshandra, to linux in Firefox Getting Translate Selected Text Feature, Here's How to Try It

Assuming it’s not cached and sent next time it talks, of course.

elshandra, to world in Oh Crap, Am I Pro-Slavery?

Yeah, that’s why it’s the chaotic neutral solution… We would need to organise food, water, comms and energy supplies almost immediately. We’d to have to work together, and that is chaotic.

I think a fun way to protest would be to stop the economy. Just all simultaneously stop working and spending, stay home and spend time with our families.

Only their word until someone does it with a sniffer. E: I suppose, or looks the source but someone answered better now.

Note: Unlike other browsers that rely on cloud services, Firefox keeps your data safe on your device. There’s no privacy risk of sending text to third parties for analysis because translation happens on your device, not externally.

elshandra, to world in Scientists confirm record highs for three most important heat-trapping gases

We’re just waiting for the environment to correct that problem.

elshandra, to games in Ten years later, Facebook's Oculus acquisition hasn't changed the world as expected

It’s just not ready yet. Vr in general is too awkward, inconvenient and expensive. The stuff that’s available now can be a lot of fun, but it’s a long way from where it needs to be, to “change the world”. And yeah, I wouldn’t want it for free since the acquisition.

elshandra, to privacy in Opinions on SELinux

Yeah it’s really not that difficult once you get the basic concepts, then it’s navigating your own maze of rules :p

Things like ausearch, aureport, audit2allow make light work of it.

elshandra, to politics in DHS Is Expected to Stop Buying Access to Your Phone Movements

Oh my mistake, I was saying my take was paranoid.

elshandra, to politics in DHS Is Expected to Stop Buying Access to Your Phone Movements

That answer would be a lot more obvious if the erosion started with the rich.

I’d not be surprised if they just had some other way to obtain the data, that’s more reliable anyway. By legislating against it, maybe they dodge some contractual obligations idk, there’s a million possibilities. That’s a paranoid perspective.

In reality, I assume if I’m on the internet, or out in public, something somewhere is probably collecting data on me. Maybe that data is being linked somewhere, maybe it isn’t. I believe privacy will be history soon. I think this will ultimately be a good thing.

elshandra, (edited ) to politics in Unbalanced labor market power is what makes technology—including AI—threatening to workers

What an interesting and extremely limiting perspective. I’m not a in the writing industry, I’ll do my best.

Two writers write the same article, beginning at the same time. One uses a quill, ink and blotting paper. The other, vi. Is the one using a PC less of a writer for using the tool to make it easier?

The pc crashes so they end up finishing the article at the same time anyway.

The handwritten one is then delivered to an editing teams intray. The pc one, is thrown to an AI for preliminary editing, and instantly the writer checks/corrects edits. Repeat as necessary and submit for approval.

There is room for AI in writing, but I think writing by only humans will be more diverse and therefore enjoyable.

e: somehow dragged a line to the wrong place… Need an editor :p

elshandra, to world in Humanity will shrink in the future: 97% of countries will experience negative growth by 2100

Let’s not forget water… And eventually, oxygen… But keep buying/selling those trinkets people, for the economy.

And well, how much of these resource estimates leave enough for other life too, or does all other life just exist to feed us?..
