I suppose it should be pretty easily verifiable. Just set up a new SSID without protection and see what connects.

Might as well try it with my own TV. IIRC I never accepted any TOS either.

Yes but not in a way she would think another person may view it, most likely. Obviously IANAL but surely intent matters here?

If people actively realised someone can read all their chats, I’m sure these services would be far less popular.

And here’s the autism slop because I can’t think of the proper term for “actively realising” and do not have the energy to make it readable anymore:
What I mean is, I’m sure plenty of people know in the back of their mind that their data is not protected there, but it’s not the first, or second, or probably even tenth thing they think about when starting a chat.

Unfortunately Futo is doing some pretty shady stuff not in favour of the open-source community:

https://drewdevault.com/blog/Whats-up-with-FUTO/

tldr mostly from memory:

They made it seem like they were big donors or have a grant program to some open-source projects. This was not true, in some cases they were talking about a one time 1000 euro donation iirc. And the projects that supposedly received these grants knew nothing of them.

They are also quite happy to give far-right fascists a platform, saying they are “not a political organisation”.

What stood out to me more was just the design of the website. A human could have made it of course, but there’s a lot of little design things you pretty much always see in LLM-generated websites.

I did do some more searching before I posted that comment though. What I found way more damning, is what you see when clicking through to the parent company or something (they’re not actually companies afaict, not sure what they are instead).

The website of this Lazarus Library also heavily smells like AI slop to me. Searching the parent company listed on that website leads to a trademark for “PhotoOpAI”. These are parts of their statements found here:

Downloadable computer software using artificial intelligence (AI) for providing information (…) based upon a photo of the item or object

Providing on-line non-downloadable software using artificial intelligence (AI) for use in taking photos of items and objects and providing information

So they’re definitely deep in the AI hole.

There are a few popular options, but i haven tried them personally yet:

Orange pi Banana pi Odroid (coworker is a big fan of these) Rock64 (i think this ones very old)

Smells like AI slop

Huh, I’ve never heard of a prepaid card, I don’t think that’s a thing here. Can you just get one of those from a machine without any identification or anything?

Yes, but how you set it depends on your DE. With sway, which is wayland, i just set xkb_options compose:caps to bind it to the caps key.

How is a cash to card atm gonna help if you don’t have your card? Don’t you still need it to top up and pay with the card?

I have destroyed my fingertips a few times having to unplug lots of cables with a boot, from unifi stuff that had the ports slightly recessed. I hate both of those designs so much.

Okay, then don’t post these projects if you’re not sure and don’t want to find out.

Same, that scalpel looks pretty big to me

I am thoroughly confuse right now. Did thy make an ai model out of donald duck or what?

I think most mobile phone cameras stack multiple exposures from different lenses when taking a , to improve the clarity and do some hdr stuff.

I’ve never seen it this brightly coloured, but most taller ladders I’ve seen in the Netherlands have these kinds of markings.

I don’t like how proton requires you either use their proprietary mail app or bridge. Mailbox.org just pgp encrypts messages, which you can read through regular imap with any mail client that supports pgp decryption

Pro tip for when you do move: get your own domain. Plenty of mail hosts allow you to use your own domain, which you can just keep using at the next mail host, so you don’t have to update any accounts.

Yeah i can understand why some people like it, i just don’t understand where all this hype is suddenly coming from. Imax has been around for ages.

I do have clamav installed just to be safe, but it hasn’t found anything in a good , and even when it did, it was always a false positive.

xdg-desktop-menu install

I had no idea that command exists, I’ve just been looking up the location of desktop files until i finally remembered lol
