@zahox @GrapheneOS I'm not saying their behaviour is aggressive, nor that the behaviour of others is OK. I'm only saying that the overall tone of various GrapheneOS posts reads as angry.
@itsfoss Actually, there is one use case for the discussion system that actually makes sense: having it remind you which character is which. Some books feature multiple characters with similar names, which I am terrible at keeping track of.
@itsfoss I guess a few niche use cases of the discussion system exist, like going back to a book you paused reading few years ago and having it give you a summary, or starting a book, wondering "have I read it before", and asking AI if this is the book where X does Y.
But I suspect the "reading recommendation system that suggests similar books based on your selection" will get used more.
@el_haych2024 @itsfoss The problem is that a Chromium monoculture is unhealthy for the Internet.
@EDPS Please push back against privacy-violating proposals like the infamous #ChatControl and badly designed #ageverification.
@zaufanatrzeciastrona 20 kart SIM? Myślałem, że to jakiś zwykły półgłówek, ale może to coś więcej.

Mandatory social media disclosure and surveillance “has not proven effective at finding terrorists and other bad guys,” EFF’s Sophia Cope told The New York Times. “But it has chilled the free speech and invaded the privacy of innocent travelers” and Americans, too.

@jonas175 @noelreports Core is most likely glass, but plastic is also possible. The cladding is from a material with a different refractive index, likely some plastic.

From above, it looks like a giant spiderweb, but it's actually the tangled web of fiber-optic lines used by drones. Along the Kupyansk axis, both sides are deploying massive amounts of fiber to guide first-person-view drones, especially in areas where GPS is jammed.
@itsfoss Do Mediatek processors have a secure element?
@noelreports Congrats on the MiG-29. Now, if only those 1240 soldiers preferred leaving to becoming casualties...
@UlrikNyman @noelreports I believe most of the assets are in Belgium and there are rumours that some of the profits stay in Belgium.
Additionally, there are fears that confiscating these assets will scare other foreign investors away and make them invest in US or China instead.
@kubofhromoslav @EUCommission You are talking about the future when AI is actually doing most of the jobs. We are not there yet. AI is still underwhelming, robots still don't repair cars nor build buildings, and people still have to work. The parent post is about handling the situation of today: management automation, remote work, subcontracting, company restructuring, etc.

Ukrainian children abducted by Russia are being sent to military camps in North Korea. Legal expert Kateryna Rashevska told the U.S. Senate that a 12-year-old boy from Donetsk and a 16-year-old girl from Simferopol were taken to Songdowon camp, 9,000 km from home, where they were exposed to militarized training and propaganda.
@TiKXI @EUCommission I agree the AI race participants should agree to slow down and focus more on safety and sustainability, but for now they aren't willing to.
@gorkemkoc2 @itsfoss GNOME Web aka Epiphany
@TiKXI @EUCommission I think the rapid AI development is less about what it can do now (most of which is laughable) and more about what it can do in the future.
@noelreports Huh, I recently wondered why long range drones with AA missiles aren't a thing and it turns out they are. Ukraine could use them against Russian aircraft launching FABs.
@notsoloud @noelreports Yes, I believe the original meaning is still present.
@notsoloud @noelreports I'm not Ukrainian, but as far as I know, it's kind of like the word "bastard" in English. Originally it meant an illegitimate descendant, but nowadays it also means a despicable person. So while підарас can mean "faggot", here it's being used to mean "asshole". (And now a third meaning exists: "a Russian involved in the war on Ukraine".)
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
