I’m sorry, I deleted the Disney movies from Disneys server by mistake. Did someone give me authority to do so? Oh, ai. Magic.

You shouldn’t pick butts. You’ll get a smelly finger.

What about Bryce Dallas Howard and Jessica Chastaine?

However for white celebrities, it seems to be the exception. For celebrities of colour, it’s a common experience.

Yes, I agree. So the choice is self host, with the risks of that but also the hassle for you and family. Or use a smaller service focused in privacy that might(will) get hacked eventually, or just hand your data over willingly.

It’s only accessible by those you share a link with to your personal child(ten) gallery. They don’t share photos with you, just access your child photos to comment and like.

It also has tools for recording things like height and weight as the child grows. It’s probably possible with a locked down j stagram account but I wouldn’t trust meta to not use the data nor to not change the settings over time.

I used tiny beans with my family. It’s a micro social network designed for sharing photos with small groups, particularly of babies and kids.

Yes, when ads companies did surveys to match ads with your interests, I’m like, no, irrelevant ads are even easiest to ignore.

Which is why open source is important. Holes can be found and software telemetry can be avoided.

A lot of the telemetry is sold to people as being in their benefit. Monitor installed software for updates, location data for weather etc.

If the companies had to document the amount they collected in cash for each user based on ads and send it as a mk though report, it might be eye opening. The source if the cash would also be good. So did companies pay directly or dodgy intermediaries and data brokers.

What did they do this time?

Ah, ok. The problem I’m referring to is that if one file gets corrupted, syncthing will interpret that as a change and then duplicate the corruption across all devices. A good backup service will also interpret it as a change and keep both to allow rollbacks.

Does trash help with file corruption?

Be aware that syncthing is not designed for back up. If something happened to delete ir corrupt your data on ine device, that would also duplicate. (There are settings per folder to change sone of this behaviour)

Isnt that the whole area of AI though. Its not based on fundamentals. Its not based on proven productivity gains. Sure, anecdotally, some engineera are increasing their output dramatically. But also many people are feeling prodictice while producing slop.

AI has the potential to reduce so many monotonous tasks and streamline processes that currently need a human.

Companies and managers are rushing in based on that potential, trying tonfigure out how to meet it as its new. However, the big driver seems to be a fear of missing out. Thats a bubble.

The facr that antropic seems to have overtaken openai and google has overtaken them in the consumer space says that maybe nobody will be ledt that far behind, if they just wait for a use case.

Whereas im of the view that davibg me a click to a (likely) ad infested link and prividing a summary or full text is helpful. It woukd be good if it was easily shrunk or expandavke though, so it suits us both.

The tv show dune prophecy has a subplot about not using intelligent machines due to the risk of losing control. It was before the general anxiety about AI. I wonder if they will lean into that. A big part of the plot is also about tracking everyone via their dna and prompting outcomes based on that knowledge.

I understand they charge for the information. So, they profit off it, too. As do the data brokers. Of course, the lettered agencies are paying with our money.

I was holding off on tailscale, with the intention of doing it eventually as I thought it would be a chore. Took about 5 minutes. Do it now. Before you set up local address bookmarks that you’ll have to change.

I saw the James Bond new casting one and was skeptical, but also half believed. I was skeptical enough to Google for other sources and the joke was spoiled by the top result.

I thought self hosting for email was a complete pain these days due to spam ruining it for everyone? Your email will be deemed spam and you’ll get lots of spam.

They will still infect them but they will be more obvious.

An unusual comment, you don’t know it’s a bot.

Hundreds of unusual comments and doesn’t engage with the local community. It’s a bot.

It’s partly why online discourse is toxic. There is a disconnect with th real world and online and no social stigma. On a small community instances there is.

The problem though, will be trying to manage which isntances need to be blocked as they are rampant with bota. If the fediverse grows and there are lots of smaller communities,.it will be harder to keep track. Currently it’s small and most instances with active users are familiar.
