Seems nice, thanks for alerting me of that!

So much moire on that actual camera photo of a screen.🤦

Only a luddite would do that. All new tech can be used for good and evil, but that's not a good argument against innovation. Quality of life has gotten steadily better as technology got better, not worse. Unless you think AI is different for a good reason, such as the possibility of paperclip maximisers. But that doesn't seem to be what you're saying.

I'm working on an open source version of an AR OS that can run on any Android phone, so you (will be) in luck!

Bard becomes Gemini: Google launches their most powerful LLM, Ultra 1.0 (blog.google)

Today we’re launching Gemini Advanced — a new experience that gives you access to Ultra 1.0, our largest and most capable state-of-the-art AI model. In blind evaluations with our third-party raters, Gemini Advanced with Ultra 1.0 is now the most preferred chatbot compared to leading alternatives....

That would be reasonable, as severs cost, if they allowed you to self-host the model.

Well obviously they're not talking about you. I, for instance, was given an iPhone by my parents with Qustodio on it that monitored my screen time, location, search history and even gave my parents the ability to lock my device remotely so I couldn't use it.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

It does absolutely not need to be monitored by parents. How is a child who's being abused going to be able to get help or information offline if their parents are monitoring and filtering their internet? We need a legal right to unfiltered internet. Which is not to say we shouldn't, as equals, educate children about the risks of the Internet.

What's worse is when it's accept all or manage preferences, and you manually have to turn off cookies for all 718 partners individually, every time you open the app.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Not for apps.

@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

So two Facebook products are interoperable with each other? Wow...

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I also didn't get they were joking, a /s would have been helpful

@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

You can just use the Aurora store, and I'm sure there's an NFC reader app that doesn't rely on GPS, maybe even on F-Droid.

Or use Jan. Really nice GUI app to use open source LLMs.

Is there a way to lookup data linked to your Advertising IDs?

I'm taking a class on data privacy at the moment, and it made me think it would be interesting to see exactly what kind of advertising data has been generated by services like Google \ YouTube \ Etc. Is there somewhere online that's easy to punch in an advertising ID & find that sort of data, or is that something you'd have to...

@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Does this also apply to the UK? In the EU, do you simply make a GDPR request, or what?

Music Piracy Is Back, Baby (gizmodo.com)

"Muso, a research firm that studies piracy, concluded that the high prices of streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music are pushing people back towards illegal downloads. Spotify raised its prices by one dollar last year to $10.99 a month, the same price as Apple Music. Instead of coughing up $132 a year, more consumers...

I'm not even able to put music on my watch unless it's a mp3, so paying to stream music is out of the question.

+1 for espeak, it works great

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Wait, I just realised I have both installed, and they both sound the same, so one must be using the other, but I don't know which.

Straight away I can see wasted space next to the keyboard which could be used for a numpad

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Well that's the point. Linux, Firefox, custom Android ROMs - they're not corporate owned proprietary software, they're FOSS. And they're what you should use.

@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I see way too many people advocating for copyright. I understand in this case it benefits big companies rather than consumers, but if you disagree with copyright, as I do, you should be consistent.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

But I am against any copyright beyond forcing attribution to the original creator.

@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I hate the MAGMA companies as much as anyone, but AI such as LLMs, especially the open source stuff Facebook and Stable diffusion is making, is beneficial to us all.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

AI creators, at least the open source ones, are usually pretty open about where they got the training data for their model

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

How is that going to help if the only RCS apps for Android are proprietary Google or Samsung apps?

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Yes, so which FOSS Android app will be interoperable with the new iMessage?

"This article was sponsored by Roko's Basalisk/The paperclip maximiser"

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

You clearly don't understand what the paperclip maximiser is. It doesn't just produce a lot of paperclips. It doesn't just kill most people. It's kills everyone and turns the entire planet into paperclips. And if we ignore AI safety by saying 'nOt My JoBs', we're just letting it happen.

If a non European citizen goes to the EU, the law should force Apple to apply this freedom to their devices too, at least while they're there.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Well they would have to allow unsigned code to run under the DMA, wouldn't they?

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

You sometimes need Aurora, but otherwise yeah

How do I set up a VNC server from my Manjaro machine? If anyone wants to give a real answer I'd appreciate that too!

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I can only see ssh sharing there, no remote desktop option. And I am using GNOME.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I was looking confused at that for a while, thinking "Isn't a nickel 10 cents?" Then I realised that was a dime.

The children don't count, clearly. Only adult opinions matter.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

You'll be so popular, with your dictator-like censorship of an organisation! How come no one even treats children like people, you wouldn't find it acceptable to jam the mobile data of adults' phones. Talk to the kids and encourage them to want to work at school, don't be autocratic.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Bh sharing, unencrypted, on Lemmy that you like watching revolutionary videos on YouTube, the government now has that data, even if Google wasn't going to give it to them. I thought I would just add that, as everyone else has explained asymmetric encryption well.

Also, usually it's just the content of the website, not the URL itself that is encrypted, so anyone, not just the government, can know what YouTube videos you watch (as the video ID is in the URL) as well as the URL of any other websites you visit.

Crazy how people otherwise firm supporters of freedom of speech and freedom of tech suddenly change their minds when the person involved is under 18.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I'm familiar with the sad fact that many people believe that. Knowledge should never be age restricted. If a kid doesn't want to learn about, for example, sex, and finds it gross, that's one thing. An entire society conspiring to keep them from knowing about it till they're about 11 is quite another.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

It's what happens when you have a 'justice' system which is biased in favour of people with more money to spend on lawyers - literally pay to win. It's unthinkable that in such a democratic society our justice system could still be this way, biased against poor people.

Good bot

The NVIDIA 1660 ti is perfectly adequate and not only the property of rich people.

Are there any FOSS RCS apps for Android?

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Well as I can't use either of those on my degoogled Android device, Apple using RCS is irrelevant, and they should use a more open standard, like Matrix.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

What do you suggest, I was just giving an example.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

Meanwhile the Beeper app won't even open on my computer.

JackGreenEarth ,
@JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee avatar

I seriously doubt law enforcement agencies want that, or they would make it law.
