Did you know ?

OpenOffice is a firewall product !

For context it is a french lawmakers casually explaining that OpenOffice has a firewall… And other random bullshit.

I had enough of this “Big AI agenda”.

Yes the oligarchs at the top are the most evil and corrupted people ever. Sure. Ok. Understood.

But what does it have to do with Linus and the kernel project ? He is not like vouching for them or even for their specific models. And it’s not like there isn’t open source AI models too. There is, and pretty good one at that.

But no, AI is the obligatory Claude code or chatgpt obviously…

Damn if only Lemmynautes could understand that we can’t be dumb enough to consider AI as one big proprietary monolotic block. It is not and Linus is well aware of that.

And by the way, Linus I’m sure understand very well the agenda of the big evil corps. It’s just not his problem. He is leading the kernel open source project. He is not involved in a crusade against AI and I’m so glad he will focus on that instead of “picking a side”. If there is anybody I trust to use the tech effectively and pragmatically it’s the kernel open source project.

It’s not complicated truly, all AI models are not the same. They dont come from the same business, the same country, they don’t have the same licence.

If we used half the energy we use to vociferate about big corps AI to actually create open source (and copyright respecting) models that would really improve the situation in the future.

It’s more than time for the open source community to wake up and actually create their own models, built ethically and in accord with the OSS ethos.

Obviously, I’m well aware of the destruction of our planet by AI datacenters but again that is a problem for politicians, not freaking Linus Torvald.

If i understand correctly it is a message within a blank file. So it is not steganography, I suppose.

At least I dont think a seemingly blank file would pass as a valid message.

That’s what I think is defining for steganography is that it is deceptive because you might not assume another secret message is hidden within the original message.

DDG is an US based company. They will comply to all the patriot act bullshit and pipeline all your searches to the NSA…

If they really cared about privacy they wouldn’t be based in the US.

There is a non-zero chance this post is a cheater asking on how to build a aimbot…

It’s mostly for the pocket sand. If someone attacks a toddler, he can stand his ground and cast pocket sand to retaliate.

You can all praise all you want Valve, but when Gabe is out you will see the enshitification real fucking quick.

Monopolies are never a good thing for the consumers on the long run.

If I recall correctly, they said it was to preview “review bombing” of small channel. They said that a few weeks after YouTube’s own channel published one of the most disliked video ever (YouTube rewind).

I did that with a pizzeria that was in my building.

Instructions for delivery : Go upstairs.

I wasn’t depressed or anything it was more a little bit of a joke to the delivery man.

Cornish flex !

Mort aux marchés du matin ! Ces vestiges d’un autre temps doivent disparaître !

Personne n’a envie ou moyen d’aller au marché avant le boulot. C’est l’ère du marché du soir maintenant :)

Enfin je dis ça techniquement il a fait tellement chaud que mon marché du soir a été annulé cette semaine… Je continue de penser que ça rend le marché bien plus accessible que le matin.

One of the most dangerous traps ever designed.

With so many cops why would it rely on the honour system ?

I mean it should be the cops kicking out people off bike lanes… We have assholes like that in the EU but they sometimes get a fine for it and eventually some stop doing that kind of shit.

The problem is that it’s not enforced by your police forces.

The only mistake you make is to assume your lifestyle will fit you all your life, at 18.

People change in the duration of a life. Maybe you won’t but many do. They think social isolation is the way to go until a few decades later, they don’t.

data.gouv.fr for french stuff.

You fell for the trap of thinking that you can only protect childrens by accepting to sacrifice privacy.

My post was clearly pushing for doing both :

Proving anonymously that you are an adult without giving your identity.

Again I have to repeat I’m not against preventing childrens from accessing social networks.

Where we disagree is that you think you have to give up on some privacy to achieve that goal. I don’t.

Now let’s agree that we disagree and I will let you give your faceid to shady businesses and see them leak two weeks later.

Believe what you want.

But don’t point your finger toward people that do their best to maximize their privacy.

OMG THEY ARE EATING THE SNAILS TOO !
