But in the end, yes, it is a MITM. If you need your data to be E2E encrypted, don't use it.

Or do use E2E encryption. You can still have a layer of encryption within the SSL tunnel that cloudflare controls. Like you'd do for an E2EE filestore: the webserver (and cloudflare) see the website woosh by, and all that you do on it, but the files themselves are encrypted opaquely to both, and decrypted only by a browser at the other end.

That said, the LLM isn't running an array of bonus functions like breathing and wondering why you said that stupid thing to your Aunt's cousin 15 years ago and keeping tabs on your ambient noise for possible phone calls from that nice boy who promised to call you back.

I listen to band's music because I like their music.

You listen to band because you hate music.

We are not the same?

Nix just had internal politics. Reject Nix; embrace Guix!

Cats are the prime example of

"I don't care and I don't need you. Bye!"

"Oh... Now how do I get my free lasagne?"

I think the giraffes will be okay though.

milicent_bystandr ,

I haven't read about giraffes. Hit me with your interesting giraffe facts!

Because they will definitely put in the work to make sure outputs are all sane and good, and not be pressured to click as many as they can quickly to fill quotas.

Not to mention problems from subtlety of language not crossing language barriers well.

Maybe if you turned the water temperature up.

I dunno though... The power of love is a curious thing.

At this stage kernel 2.6 is ancient culture.

I nearly ditched nextcloud fully for this, but haven't found anything that matches the convenience of nextcloud for family members iPhone

Also filebrowser doesn't yet let you share folders that people can upload to, nor have good photo viewing in a shared folder (without login)

If you look closely it turns out they're not real Romans at all, just drawings!

This is one of those new Samsung models, right?

If it were visual ads with no audio, I actually think this is a good idea. When you pause you're ready for an interruption of sorts: it jars the brain less.

I'd still want to be able to maximise the video still frame to see details sometimes. Just yesterday I watched a 3blue1brown with a brief freeze-frame of extra detail to read if you wanted (and I did!)

I use temporary container tabs in Firefox. (Desktop, dunno if that works on mobile)

Every new tab I open opens in its own temporary container unless I've chosen otherwise (like for sites I want to remember logins )

So, even if I accept all the cookies, they all disappear with the temporary container after browsing, and don't connect to any other container - only tabs started (e.g. by clicking links) in the same container.

milicent_bystandr ,

Because only one of those has to be 'correct'.

Heh. Knowing that context puts a different spin on this meme ;-)

Me delaying the fix to my Linux problems by never switching back to Windows

Safest way of using WeChat on Android?

I live in Canada. My girlfriend is Chinese (also living in Canada), and while we are able to communicate via SMS, her mobile carrier isn't the best, and so there have often been issues for us with regular texting. She expressed a strong preference to use WeChat, at least as a backup option for when texting fails us. While I...

And, let's be fair, for most people the real loss from this level of compromised privacy/security is far less than the real gain from helping your relationship.

Sometimes I look at products I use from dubious companies, take a step back, and think, this company is actually a blessing in my life even if there is a smaller curse attached. That said, I'm grateful for all the tremendous effort put in by many people to make the digital (and rest of) world a safer, more private, fairer and more honest place. And I try to do at least a little of my share!

milicent_bystandr ,

Too much work.

Alternative plan, introduce new predatory birds.

milicent_bystandr ,

No they didn't.

... How dare you nerd snipe me

Now, if brightness is amplitude of light ... But is it? Is it like sound that we perceive logarithmically? And if it's burning wax at 4x the rate, will it be yet brighter because more of the gases ignite? Why is it burning faster? Has it four wicks? Thicker wick? Different geometry? Or does it imply a better oxygen source? If oxygen, again, maybe the same rate of wax burns brighter. Or maybe not: maybe it's as simple as, the same proportion of wax burns, releasing the same amount of light energy, in the same spectral distribution, as long as you stay within practical parameters (e.g. not hot enough to get secondary combustion - if that even happens for candle smoke). Okay so I think the candle burning 4x the rate will make 4x the light, in which case it's just a question of perception, but we can argue that brightness really is amplitude - or is it the square root because... bother my brain's gone blank but it's like an amplitude Vs magnitude thing but those are the same so it must be something else... But if we call amplitude brightness then I think yes, the same-mass candle burning at 4x brightness will burn out in a quarter of the time. Phew, I think I can correctly upvote your comment.

Kolanki here claiming to be always cute.

Kolanki may in fact be a sentient squirrel with a crossbow.

Edit: a narcoleptic sentient squirrel with a crossbow.

milicent_bystandr ,

That's right, light goes out in all directions, not all focused towards your eye. So the 4x as bright candle burns 16x as fast?

I assumed mass is kept constant. Or it would be, "the candle that burns four times as bright is really heavy."

Nah, they're usually protected in concrete which, as we know, has anti-laser nanoresonance properties.

milicent_bystandr ,

I don't think it's usual to forbid bringing hardware. And in some (many?) internet-restricted countries VPNs and things are also not illegal of themselves, and still less punishable normally. Because practical reality is foreigners have a variety of reasons for circumventing restricted internet and the state's interest is mostly in restricting their own citizens.

milicent_bystandr ,

Wow. That could be a hangover from laws to stop independent printing press and newspaper. I've come across that once.

milicent_bystandr ,

And the irony is, it's actually really important to be valued for your existence - just for being who you are regardless of your success or participation.

Indeed, one might say baby photos are a kind of existence trophy, as are birthday cards.

    The problem was they abandoned Socialism. Windows US would have been such a better transition from '98, not to Windows Xtra Profit, thence to the poor, bloated, forgotten, single digits and low tens... But to Windows Comrad Edition and thence to a glorious Communist future where Mainframe governs all equally and we all Thin Clients equally share the FlPOpS!

    Well, it was just so self-orientated, having Windows ME. Perfect segway into Lemmy's arch-nemesis, Capitalism.

    Oh, I currently smoke Tumbleweed, but I'm not sure if this is that or the brain damage.

    So, why is making hydrogen from other energy source worse than filling up lithium batteries from other energy sources?

    milicent_bystandr ,

    Thanks for the info.

    I played around with GNU Taler a while back. The payer is anonymous but verifiable (so I can't pay with the same €3 ten times to ten people) but the recipient is known and the payment connected with the recipient, to satisfy avoiding tax evasion and fraud.

    It still anticipates merchants taking some fee, but that fee should be able to be much less, as it doesn't depend on Blockchain (requiring so much work) but is a suitable cryptographic algorithm so 3rd party merchants can compete.
