At least they have text instructions.

I got my browser at IKEA and all my instructions are just drawings or a small blob man using a computer - I have to infer the steps from there.

Absolute safest is a wipe but just powering off the phone means they won’t be able to access anything without a PIN (protected by the 5th amendment). There’s no laws against turning your phone off.

I work in a creative industry for a pretty large business, with limited exception really nobody is using AI except maybe to send lazy email responses. If there’s workers getting replaced by slop it’s not where I’m at.

It just really hasn’t shown much ability to not fuck up. People dip their toe in occasionally to show upper upper management we’re leveraging “all the tools available to us”, but I’ve never seen it used for anything more substantial than a mood board.

You’re assuming that whatever they’re talking to is capable of giving only good advice with awareness and consideration of their living situation.

Sex education is beneficial if done well, but there is zero evidence suggesting AI can do anything well.

You could do PR with the ballot of potential Reps distributed by district. When the election is settled the district Reps are assigned starting with the highest-skewed district. E.g.:

Overall vote: 60:40 (red:blue)

D1: 80:20
D2: 40:60
D3: 70:30
D4: 45:55
D5: 30:70

You can go randomly, round Robin, or winner-first to divvy up the districts, but essentially you would expect D1, D3, and D4 to be assigned their local red Rep (even though red “lost” in the close D4 race) and D2 & D5 to go blue

With more parties, random or round robin are a little more “fair” for the third party - winner first allocation could result in 3rd party getting the “whatever’s left” district where they didn’t actually get any votes.

It’s not perfect, but neither is the current system.

Windows Vista would like a word.

In theory you could lease your server capacity to the big AI players, but then they would have to trust you -a noted crypto grifter - with their data.

https://help.kagi.com/kagi/privacy/privacy-pass.html

When you enable Privacy Pass, instead of logging in with your Kagi account for each search, you use special cryptographic tokens. These tokens prove you have the right to use Kagi’s services without revealing who you are. This means your searches can’t be linked back to your account or to each other, providing an additional layer of privacy.

Obviously you lose some of the customization, but otherwise still a great service.

I enjoy it. They have a 100-search free trial so you can test it out for yourself. Between them down ranking sites full of trackers and allowing you to put your own preferential ratings on sites, I find myself getting the results I’m after so much quicker.

Then I have great news for you! Kagi accept bitcoin, does not validate email addresses (so you can register as fhhdsbgwg@hrjesbgwgw.com if that appeals to you), and they implemented privacy pass tokens that fully anonymize your searches. They also allows searching through tor!

You are paying for search, just differently.

Ahh, the 'ol 1-day-old account here to troll in the comments.

“Quantum emulation” all the hype, 1/1000th the efficiency, 1000X the excuses to sell hardware

Getting the chunks off saves you from having to clean the filter as often (I recognize that’s probably different from “scrubbing”)

My dishes are by no stretch of the imagination clean when they go into the dishwasher, but they also look nothing like what’s in a Cascade™ commercial.

Bought a tire attachment for my air compressor the other day. You’d think I must live in a house with millions of tires to fill based on my product suggestions.

“Like, you really fucking love tires right? Have you heard of these 6 other tire-filling compressor attachments??”

We were gonna terrorize some immigrants but our team wanted to hold a costume contest in a field instead.

Oddly enough everyone decided to dress up as a ghost this year. They burned a large t to symbolize the defeat of terrorism.

It’s a lemmy.world problem, otherwise each instance has to block the user.

Fun fact, you can use most of teams through teams.microsoft.com

Do yourself and your coworkers a favor and minimize how often Teams is running. If anyone asks just say the desktop version was buggy - no one who has used teams will deny it.

This is fantastic news for vegans! I’m sure all of the “US beef doesn’t directly contribute to deforestation - you’re overreacting” folks will now see the direct connection and stop eating beef…

They weren’t arguing in bad faith right?.. Right?
