He deserves all the flak, but we need to accept and encourage people who are changing their mind or we're all fucked.

It's OK to hate AI slop and recognize the immediate threat to cyber security it brings. At least they are trying to mitigate it. There's been no similar actions from other frontier models. They are deliberately helping open source projects with little funding to keep pace.

This is pretty much all you need to know about the state of the United States. It's being run by 10 year old imbeciles.

Because she is evil, facts don't matter to her. There is no debate. No one is being convinced of anything. Belittling fascists is a known nonviolent tactic that works because they are nihilistic narcissists. I'd never say demeaning things about strangers, but public figure Nazis are fair game for anything that bruises their ego.

Email is never private, even with encrypted email, headers give away metadata. HOWEVER, Tuta & Proton are not scanning your emails to market shit to you and train AI. That's the main advantage.

Adding this for extra absurdity: going in no one knows, no one at all, how much your fees will be. Prices are negotiated between the insurance companies and health care providers. Until they send in the billing codes, pray they get them right, get proper authorization (from insurance, not your doctor) then go through with the treatment and finally issue a bill, which gets processed by the insurance company again - at that last step then and only then do you get a surprise bill for your share of the costs. It can take months. For a stay like yours, it would be anybody's guess.

Simple procedures planned in advance, you MIGHT get a price, but that will almost certainly miss things like incidental costs or direct fees from doctors or other practitioners who all invoice separately.

Yep, these definitely won't get hacked

This isn't cartel behavior at all

Sorry hon - you've hit your doll quota.

You can't consume your way out of this

That I spent years developing proficiency in my language and expanding my vocabulary to get accepted, only to be told to write simplified English in journalism school. Then they doubled down in my business classes to write for a 6th grade education and those who don't speak natively.

Time to sprinkle DRM magic on every Windows application

Time to stock up on black mannequins. Two can play at this game.

It depends on your insurance. You might hit a deductible and only owe a few thousand dollars, or you might be bankrupt.

I bookmark subreddits and read them without logging in. Every time I feel the urge, I've got a hurdle to cross before I can type anything. Then it's immediately a "fuck it" moment and move on

Late to the party, but I've read that OP is going to be the sole admin. Do Not Do This. I admire what you are trying to do, but ultimately, you will have no rest, no vacation, no backup for yourself. The hardware & software aren't the issue here - it is the human support of those services. You will put a single point of failure on yourself, and likewise your peers.

Many of the FOSS projects you mentioned have commercial services. SAAS exists for a reason. By subscribing to those services as a business, you underwrite their ability to provide the software for free to the community. It's a win-win.

It's still relevant. I always hand my passengers a pistol before disembarking.

I'm freely up voting things without repercussion. weeeeeeeeeeee

Keep it up. Don't let FOMO loosen your standards. If people acted like this to you in person, you would avoid them. Do it online as well.

Sadly we interact so much online that the bad behavior of social media is now informing people how to behave IRL.

My spouse didn't get it until she watched Meredith Whittaker's SXSW talk. I just wasn't eloquent enough. She admitted I had made the same points, but not as well. Show people that video. https://www.youtube.com/live/AyH7zoP-JOg
