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

• They forgot one important part, IVPNs CEO is not the biggest donor to a far right political party. Mullvad can’t say the same.

  Also pretty sure this is ai slop. The code also isn’t on their github and some of what is there links to 404 pages.

• I doubt those things are phoning home at all. Constantly or regularly recording and sending the audio to a chromecast or whatever would drain the batteries pretty quick.

• Yes so of course my actual opinion is a little more nuanced than this. I absolutely see the uses of AI, I won’t deny that. I just fundamentally disagree with the way it is being used right now (by which I mean the gas-turbine-powered datacenters it requires, the noise pollution they create, the unethical/outright illegal acquiring of training data.

  If you’re using a local model, whose training did not deprive actual people of huge amounts of water or electricity, and did not use stolen data, I’m all for it. But most people aren’t, they’re using ChatGPT or Gemini or whatever Microsoft is making.

  Continuing your analogy, this would be like flying rockets manufactured by the third reich, not other companies using the same technologies.

• ethical questions aside

  And his here is the problem. Oh yeah lets just waive off the biggest critisicm on and issue of AI.

  Hitler was a pretty neat guy, ethnic cleansing aside.

  And before you say this, no, i am not comparing you to hitler, I’m only using an over the top example to hopefully make my point more clear.

• They’re not saying you would get away with it, just that it isn’t technically vandalism but a different crime.

• The property has been damaged, as you need to cut them down. If you manage to move the whole thing without cutting the pole you’d have a point.

  (i did read your whole comment, we were literally talking about cutting down a pole)

• Heroic lets you add plenty of custom stuff. The only thing I’m missing from lutris is tagging/grouping of games, everything else I ever used in lutris is available in heroic.

• Yeah, caddy automatically renews certs by default, as does traefik as far as i can tell, and certbot installs a timer for this.

• The screenshot seems to be taken at 1:50 utc, and the new certificate was valid from 00:18 utc. It is possible though that they just.enrolled the cert too late.

• When a view counts as a view and as an ad impression were always separate things at youtube. Videos under 10 minutes can’t be monetised, I’m guessing they’re keeping that bit.

• But you could find out all of those things by looking for the code and the PR that fixed it. You could also have debugged it, since source code is available. Not so on windows generally.

• Afaik grub should not have any effect on shutting down. Grub is the bootloader, after it has loaded the kernel, it’s done.

• that Sony wields monopoly power by only making digital PlayStation games available through its own store

  Isn’t this also the case with Xbox and Nintendo? AFAIK on those platforms you can also only buy games on their stores. Not saying that makes it okay, just wondering why they’re not being sued as well.
