Sure, but isn't the the perpetrator the company that trained the model without their permission? If a doctor saves someone's life using knowledge based on nazi medical experiments, then surely the doctor isn't responsible for the crimes?

Sorry, my app glitched out and posted my comment multiple times, and got me banned for spamming...
Now that I got unbanned I can reply.

So is the car manufacturer responsible if someone drives their car into the sidewalk to kill some people?

In this scenario no, because the crime was in how someone used the car, not in the creation of the car. The guy in this story did commit a crime, but for other reasons. I'm just saying that if you are claiming that children in the training data are victims of some crime, then that crime was committed when training the model. They obviously didn't agree for their photos to be used that way, and most likely didn't agree for their photos to be used for AI training at all. So by the time this guy came around, they were already victims, and would still be victims if he didn't.

dev_null ,

so who cares

All the other people who do use one?

dev_null ,

I hope we will get to the bottom of this, because all the armchair experts with tons of different explanations for how this happened are annoying. There are so many people confidently explaining different conflicting theories.

dev_null ,

Every so often someone posts something on Lemmy or somewhere else which contains a Twitter link that's interesting or relevant, and so there is value in me visiting it. Just because I don't "use" Twitter doesn't mean I don't end up reading a Twitter post every so often, because other people use it.

dev_null ,

I used a fake name on Facebook and one day I similarly got suspended asking for government ID. So I photoshopped some fake ID with the fake name, printed it, put it in a plastic sleeve and took a photo of that, and they accepted it.

dev_null ,

I got their notice email, apparently I bought a laptop charger from them years ago, and after all this time they were still keeping my name, email and physical address, which now leaked. So that's how.

dev_null ,

I understood it as "unfortunately she must have been a visitor, she doesn't work here".

dev_null ,

There is definitely a case for having a separate device for something a smartphone can do, if it can do it better, e.g
a camera.

This device doesn't do it better in my opinion.

Rabbit R1 is Just an Android App (lemmy.world)

See, it turns out that the Rabbit R1 seems to run Android under the hood and the entire interface users interact with is powered by a single Android app. A tipster shared the Rabbit R1’s launcher APK with us, and with a bit of tinkering, we managed to install it on an Android phone, specifically a Pixel 6a....

dev_null ,

What would prevent an Android app from having "deep integration with AI"? If the AI is in the cloud then it's all done through normal web requests, which don't even require a permission, let alone so special allowance from Google.

dev_null ,

You brought up advantages of it being a device, which I don't disagree with. Nothing you said explained the "allow deep integration with AI". That's the only part I was questioning.

dev_null ,

Wow finally. I remember when I moved to Notepad++ a decade ago when I still used Windows, to get that behaviour. Being able to close it without losing all the open tabs was a game changer.

Windows 11 Start menu ads are now rolling out to everyone (www.theverge.com)

Microsoft is starting to enable ads inside the Start menu on Windows 11 for all users. After testing these briefly with Windows Insiders earlier this month, Microsoft has started to distribute update KB5036980 to Windows 11 users this week, which includes “recommendations” for apps from the Microsoft Store in the Start menu....

dev_null ,

Why would anyone pirate Windows and risk malware? You can download it for free straight from Microsoft, and you can just skip the product key step during installation, it works without a key just fine.

dev_null ,

Whatever happened to that?

Very much in progress if you follow news on Starship. Actually going too fast in my opinion, I don't think it's safe enough.

dev_null ,

They definitely have their setbacks and delays. They sure keep trying though.

dev_null , (edited )

It sure is questionable, but so far each test got further than the last one, so while I wouldn't be making any bets on it working, I'm not going to discount it either. People said the same thing about reusable rockets and now it's no big deal. They might have a chance, as long as the president of SpaceX manages to keep Musk away from it.

dev_null ,

The question was "what happened to that?", and the answer is "it's very actively happening". Whether they actually succeed is a whole different question that I can't answer, but I wouldn't bet on it.

dev_null ,

Sure, it's a reasonable take.

dev_null ,

Tons of comments and not one answering OP's question. I would be interesting in knowing the official reasoning too, but nobody here is answering the question.

dev_null ,

So what I'm reading from your comment is:

  • They accept refunds even if you were already using the service for up to 30 days
  • They have support that will help you diagnose issues
  • They will give you a refund if they can't solve your issue
  • They usually get back to you within 3 days
  • You are not locked in to their app and can use other ones if they work better for you

Thanks for the info, I should try them.

dev_null ,

I run tor nodes. I use VPNs to bypass geoblocks, not for privacy.

dev_null ,

Obviously your way works fine, but I think a browser extension could make it 100% automatic.

dev_null ,

Thanks. I wanted to create a Lemmy account and this one seemed like the the most generic default one, huge user base, ran by the Lemmy devs, all right surely it's the safest, most non-controversial choice.

Then I see stuff like this.

dev_null ,

I joined Lemmy.ml because it looked like the largest generalist instance plus apparently ran by Lemmy developers. Here you list it as a specialist one. Well, I couldn't have known at the time. :D

It's funny how media widely misreported this, but what's not funny is that people believe that to this day. Even in this thread people think Microsoft said that.

The quote is in the article:

Right now we're releasing Windows 10, and because Windows 10 is the last version of Windows, we're all still working on Windows 10,

They obviously meant Windows 10 is the latest version of Windows, but I guess misconstruing the quote got the clicks and then everyone went along. There was never any announcement from Microsoft, all of the "Windows 10 is the final version of Windows" thing is based on misconstruing the quote. If a reporter really believed this interpretation to be the case, it would be easy to just ask Microsoft, but they didn't. Or did, got the "lol no of course it's not last" answer and ignored it because that would make their clickbait article go away.

dev_null ,

the browser has the capabilities to differentiate devices

The browser can do it whether this exists or not. The only information the website gets is that the browser supports this feature or not, and nothing else.

dev_null ,

That's a valid concern, but according to the article all the website can access is the random public key, or the fact that the feature is unsupported in this browser (for an unspecified reason).

I don't know how happy anti-virus kinda services are with having loads of very encrypted and obscured blocks of data

As happy as with any other file. Would be pretty silly if preloading a game on Steam pre-release would trigger AVs.

dev_null , (edited )

All your examples are obfuscating executables. None of which is happening here. Every software that connects to the Internet handles encrypted data and there is nothing suspicious about it.

If code isn't obfuscated you can do an analysis what kinda stuff closed source software does.

And what does that change in it being a "trust me bro" situation? Nobody does that. Are you reverse engineering all software you use, don't use any software that has an ability to update, and compile all software you use yourself? Because otherwise you are trusting the developers.

We are talking about a video game. The vast majority of games on PC are released through launchers like Steam which keep updating them. You'd have to spend months reverse engineering a game to know for sure it doesn't do anything you don't like, and disable updates. Nobody does that.

some new upstart closed Source program that is shiny just like how Discord took over from Slack

Guilded already exists. It's a Discord clone with more features, but no one uses it. I assume they are just waiting for Discord to fail one day.

dev_null ,

I didn't look into it much other than trying it out for 15 min. Good to know lol.

dev_null ,

You can pay a one time fee if $25 to get Microsoft to sign your app on the Microsoft store, or you can pay $400+ per year to buy your own certificate. So Microsoft Store is sadly the cheap way to release apps on Windows. (Without users getting scary warnings from Windows and AV about installing unsigned aoftware)

dev_null ,

The certs are sold by certificate authority companies, and Microsoft doesn't get a share of that, though I'm not sure.

Yeah, software being signed says nothing about it not being malicious or insecure, but it does prove the author is what it says, and if it is malicious then the responsible party is clearly visible.

For non-commercial hobby/open-source software the certificate price is prohibitive, so the only 2 options are Microsoft Store or accepting that users will see the scary warnings, and of course complain to the developer about it.

dev_null ,

Can it run apps as a separate package?

My guess is that their claim is that it now can't.
