Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks (apnews.com)

The company says in the documents that the front windshield wiper motor controller can stop working because it’s getting too much electrical current. A wiper that fails can cut visibility, increasing the risk of a crash. The Austin, Texas, company says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem....

US Record Labels Sue AI Music Generators Suno and Udio for Copyright Infringement (www.wired.com)

The music industry has officially declared war on Suno and Udio, two of the most prominent AI music generators. A group of music labels including Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Group has filed lawsuits in US federal court on Monday morning alleging copyright infringement on a “massive scale.”...

I think with all the frivolous lawsuits based on music sounding similar in cases like Kate Perry and Ed Sheeran lately, you'd be crazy to release AI generated music right now.
Marvin Gaye's estate probably have lawsuits already drafted up.

Even if you're not on social media, you'll probably still have a shadow profile on Google/Metas servers.
My 13 month old baby has a library of images searchable in Google photos and a profile photo in the app. It's convenient, but incredibly creepy.

It's not opt-in as far as I'm aware. Just using Google photos makes it so.
I suppose I'm deep enough in the google ecosystem (well, let's say my wife is not going to move away from it) to be desensitised to how messed up it kind of is.

I was more talking about how other people (i.e. your friends) will take photos of you and post it on social media or even just keep them in their google photos, and meta/google will build a shadow profile for you without your consent via facial recognition.

AKA the "I cooked my install" button.

That's insane that this really happened.

Is Adobe suite a major cost for LTT though? It's the cost of a few licenses, and if it means just one less video goes out per year due to the inefficiencies of learning a new software package, it would not be worth the switch.
I'm assuming each video they put out brings in revenue well into the 5 figures.

overload ,

Exactly, that would be chicken feed compared to the overall cash flow for LTT alone.
He's got plenty of other YouTube channels and other means of making money.

YouTube ad revenue OF LTT in 2022 was $4.6 million, and sponsors would have paid the channel more than ad revenue was bringing in.

I don't think it's downloading apps that is hard necessarily, but there are a few big barriers getting in the way for casual users to run a self-hosted FOSS solution:

  • seeing a problem with their current way of doing things
  • knowing other options exist
  • having the confidence to feel like setup won't be a headache, or that maintenance won't be a problem with their non-tech background

I think its pretty understandable that a normal person would preference "one simple app" than a DIY 2 app system when you consider the above.

The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it; moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment.

100% this is about generating more AI training data.

I think people just genuinely don't know that firefox (and I suppose Safari) is the only true alternative browser i.e. Not based on chromium.

I do my best to transition people I know across, but people are retty comfortable on chrome.
If ad blockers stop working, I think there will be people who care just enough to switch.

overload ,

Huh, I didn't know that about Safari/Chromium.
Absolutely agree that having a Google-controlled browser monopoly would be catastrophic.

overload ,

I've been on Firefox almost exclusively for about a decade and I can't really tell the difference between them honestly in terms of performance of normal web browsing.

I'm having some weird graphical issues with my NAS frontend Web portal display on Firefox atm though, so keep chromium installed for that.

I think there's an obsidian extension that allows you to basically save the notes in a github repository, making it cloud based kind of.

Ah yes, a perfectly normal thing to do after I've previously spent thousands on my NVIDIA GPU and am just getting into Linux.
Love this comment when it comes up.

I agree, and it's been a fine experience with nvidia on Xorg. "Buy new hardware" is not what someone getting into Linux should hear though if we want to increase the number of Linux users.

Gve me a scare then. Ebikes are already expensive down under.

They get paid whether sponsored sections of the video are skipped or not though, which is the beauty of sponsorblock. Sometimes the sponsor sections are high effort though and worth watching.

overload ,

That's fair, I hadn't considered that people may actually want to click through on sponsored content to help the creator.
I really enjoy not having to see another ad for the usual sponsored brands ever again though (raid, vpns etc) .

Oh my, you're right.

Getting off social media surely is the best way to reduce stress.

I find the funny videos being sent endearing almost as much as they are relentless.

Good points.
Its worth mentioning that while SteamOS is based on arch (a famously unstable distro), it is immutable, so the user will have a much harder time bricking their system.
KDE plasma was the right choice I agree, considering the number of windows users Valve is marketing towards.

EA wants to place in-game ads in its full-price AAA games, again (www.techspot.com)

EA has tried this before, with predictable results. In 2020, EA Sports UFC 4 included full-screen ads for the Amazon Prime series The Boys that would appear during 'Replay' moments. These were absent from the game when it launched, with EA introducing the ads about a month later, thereby preventing them from being highlighted in...

overload ,

Once you discover the sea of great indie games you won't even care what AAA is doing anymore.
Some of the AAA games remove cash shops after the game loses relevance anyway, like Shadow of War, meaning you get rewarded for not buying the game until it is 90% off.

Reddit posts could always be company astroturfing as well.

overload ,

It's amazing how bad it is now with SEO-optimisation. Most people (myself included) put "reddit" into the search query to clean things up in the hopes that we'll get something other than an ad-serve/affiliate-sales-linked website, but this really opens you up to being exposed to astro-turfing.

Edit: Really interested to hear if other people have better ideas than this.

overload ,

Sure, I do ignore those sites but this is a good way of doing it.

Hadn't thought of that. Unfortunately generally I'm looking at current products/news more often than not.
Makes me worried about the whole dead internet theory if I'm being honest.

It's the reason revanced is >> the official YouTube app even with a paid YT subscription

Therein lies the uselessness of the subscription. It doesn't guarantee privacy, only that they won't abuse it while your subscription is active.

    Not that surprising really. Xbox is a bit of a dead platform seeing as everything is on PC.

    It's Not Safe to Click Links on X (lifehacker.com)

    As noted by security researcher Will Dormann, some posts on X purport to lead to a legitimate website, but actually redirect somewhere else. In Dormann's example, an advertisement posted by a verified X user claims to lead to forbes.com. When Dormann clicks the link, however, it takes him to a different link to open a Telegram...

    I use Truenas scale.

    For virtualisation, most people use a community run set of apps called Truecharts.
    I will say that documentation/support for this is rubbish. They have a discord server only really there. Very hostile community in general.

    Not sure why kubernetes is used. Docker is being phased out and will stop being supported in the future.

    Also, the latest version of scale broke onedrive backups, which were handled by the gui, and now you're on the own to run rclone via the cli. Definitely, the devs are not working on a fix as stated in forum posts. This is a pretty fundamental requirement of an at-home NAS for anyone using onedrive for photo backup say.

    Ix system forum devs are rude. I haven't posted there but searching through other people's threads for solutions to my problems show dismissive unhelpful answers by the devs/users.

    All this is to say Truenas virtualisation is compromised, poorly documented, and run by a hostile community of devs both in true charts and the ix systems forums.

    I regret not trying a different nas os, but I'm a bit invested now.

    overload ,

    I think the IX Systems would rather Truenas scale be an enterprise OS, and have short patience for people learning the ropes.

    Kubernetes to me is a lot more complicated than Docker, but I'm sure in an enterprise environment where you have many systems to administrate it is superior. Docker would be a better, simpler solution for a person at home with one computer being used for their personal virtualisation.

    I think going back in time I would go for Unraid, and use Docker containers.
    Apparently it is better documented, more beginner-friendly. It is a one-off payment, but it is reasonably cheap.
    Community seems much friendlier too.

    Bear in mind I haven't used unraid, so potentially there is a grass is always greener situation going on here.

    That said, I have thought about running a VM in TrueNAS so I don't need to muck around with kubernetes and using a discord chat for troubleshooting.

    All the best!

    overload ,

    Oh damn, that's disappointing about the subscription.

    Yep Docker is currently possible, but there's plenty of threads discussing that it is being phased out.

    But yeah, I suppose the solution could be a VM running Debian and then Docker within that.

    overload ,

    Yeah no doubt I would download a tv/car/house if I could.
