Was he though? Nobody has been arrested and charged yet so for all we know the shooter could be a jilted lover etc. might not even be a “he” for that matter

Which is fine for their store. But one of the things that used to make Android a more free ecosystem was that you could load apps from 3rd-party sites or stores, including stuff like F-Droid. Some of these apps do things that Google in particular won’t like - i.e. circumventing ads/analytics - so having them control who gets signing keys is not good

Yeah, and after having dealt with the “I missed a few updates and then the last one put my files out of sync with my schema” Docker issues, I’m very much happy to use the snap. Been on that a couple years and it’s been quite solid, even if I did have to install snapd on my Debian base for it

Huh. Learning a fun and cool math trick was not on the list of expected outcomes for today, but I’ll take it!

I mean, would we even be able to tell it apart from his usual rambling?

Yeah I agree. I’ve used PMOS as well as Lineage and Graphene. The latter was the best experience and PMOS was the one that needed the most work, at least to reach any sort of side adoption.

I’m actually looking at something running SailfishOS as my potential happy mid-point, but currently the Jolla phone - which would be my preferred device for this - doesn’t seem to shop outside Europe yet.

You missed “sex offenders”

Yup. It was more my thought that a low power over could produce sufficient results while requiring less resources. Something that can run on a desktop computer could still produce a database with reams of believable garbage that would take a lot of resources from the attacking AI to sort through, or otherwise corrupt its own harvested cache

Yeah that was my thought. Don’t reject them, that’s obvious and they’ll work around it. Feed them shit data - but not too obviously shit - and they’ll not only swallow it but eventually build up to levels where it compromises them.

I’ve suggested the same for plain old non-AI data stealing. Make the data useless to them and cost more work to separate good from bad, and they’ll eventually either sod off or die.

A low power AI actually seems like a good way to generate a ton of believable - but bad - data that can be used to fight the bad AI’s. It doesn’t need to be done real-time either as datasets can be generated in advance

Or less people in the military likely to push back after they’re all kicked out without trial before the next “but order” is made…

He should play “Planes, Trains, and Automobiles” for the kids on a tablet while they drive!

The actual ending? Mordin was pretty moving to me.

“Had to be me. Someone else might have gotten it wrong”

Interesting. I have the game but am still working through backlog before I play it. From the previews it always seemed kinda like absurdly humorous so I’m kinda surprised to hear that they mix in some more emotional chords

Honestly I’d love to see them flip the narrative and stand against the criminal thugs… in ICE and many metro police forces.

Arch has a bit of a steeper learning curve. Ubuntu is probably the most “mainstream”, but I prefer Mint (based on Ubuntu) for some user-friendly changes. PopOS (already based on Ubuntu) is also supposed to be a bit more gaming centric if you’ve got an Nvidia card.

I’ve got an AMD kit in my main machine and Nvidia/Intel in my laptop and both work fine with most Steam games using Proton.

So now the fish are lice free, but blind? D’oh!

some permissions can be set per app. I’m not sure battery level is one of those and I have apps (i.e. homeassistant) which can read thatwithout me actually having explicitly allowed it. Usually it’s stuff one pictures/files, location, camera or health data that are restricted

Yeah you just get to do the work of 3+ people as others get laid off and the workload shifted to you, until you can’t actually manage to keep up and then either get laid off or quit…

I refer to this as “the curse of competence”

People need to start somewhere, and sometimes smaller acts of defiance can grow
