  • Which is fine for their store. But one of the things that used to make Android a more free ecosystem was that you could load apps from 3rd-party sites or stores, including stuff like F-Droid. Some of these apps do things that Google in particular won’t like - i.e. circumventing ads/analytics - so having them control who gets signing keys is not good





  • I’m thinking that #7 might be useful in certain policing or security positions, depending on the definition of empty (there’s always dust and air).

    Got a bunch of containers that need to be inspected? You can cross the ones you can see through off the list.

    Also useful for winning the cup-and-ball game



  • Well, if any caucasianswanna experience a taste of racism/discrimination, just head down to certain areas of Richmond, BC Canada

    • Signage only in Chinese (violates language laws)

    • Restaurants that won’t even acknowledge your presence (if non Chinese)

    • Realtors that won’t show you housing (if non Chinese)

    But if course nobody will do anything because to address the issue said seem… racist.

    And that’s the funny thing. Because people at the top of the racist pyramid generally share the same skin color, ethnicity and/or pants-contents as you, you get to be grouped in as “the oppressor”. Even if you share a lot more in common with victims of the same system, complaints are met with decision and ignored.

    That’s because it’s easier to divide and conquer by skin and gender to hide the real class war that exists.

    Yup. It was more my thought that a low power over could produce sufficient results while requiring less resources. Something that can run on a desktop computer could still produce a database with reams of believable garbage that would take a lot of resources from the attacking AI to sort through, or otherwise corrupt its own harvested cache

    Yeah that was my thought. Don’t reject them, that’s obvious and they’ll work around it. Feed them shit data - but not too obviously shit - and they’ll not only swallow it but eventually build up to levels where it compromises them.

    I’ve suggested the same for plain old non-AI data stealing. Make the data useless to them and cost more work to separate good from bad, and they’ll eventually either sod off or die.

    A low power AI actually seems like a good way to generate a ton of believable - but bad - data that can be used to fight the bad AI’s. It doesn’t need to be done real-time either as datasets can be generated in advance



  • Arch has a bit of a steeper learning curve. Ubuntu is probably the most “mainstream”, but I prefer Mint (based on Ubuntu) for some user-friendly changes. PopOS (already based on Ubuntu) is also supposed to be a bit more gaming centric if you’ve got an Nvidia card.

    I’ve got an AMD kit in my main machine and Nvidia/Intel in my laptop and both work fine with most Steam games using Proton.

    That’s horrible but kinda hilarious too. Wondering how the hell they tracked that one down.

    “Well this one had bits of corn and bean in it but only Bob had that today for lunch and I’m positive I saw him bolting for the men’s room, so mayyybe…”

    I’ve got a cheaper, tap-cold only version (mainly because that’s the easiest to install without running new plumbing or electrical in that particular location). Honestly the cold water isn’t so bad. It can even numb things up if you’ve been dehydrated and launched a particularly stressful cannonball.
