Do people actually pay for Paramount+? I figured people just got it for free with Walmart+.

AI generated csam is still csam.
Idk, with real people the determination on if someone is underage is based on their age and not their physical appearance. There are people who look unnaturally young that could legally do porn, and underage people who look much older but aren’t allowed. It’s not about their appearance, but how old they are.
With drawn or AI-generated CSAM, how would you draw that line of what’s fine and what’s a major crime with lifelong repercussions? There’s not an actual age to use, the images aren’t real, so how do you determine the legal age? Do you do a physical developmental point scale and pick a value that’s developed enough? Do you have a committee where they just say “yeah, looks kinda young to me” and convict someone for child pornography?
To be clear I’m not trying to defend these people, but it seems like trying to determine what counts legal/non-legal for fake images seems like a legal nightmare. I’m sure there are cases where this would be more clear cut (if they ai generate with a specific age, trying to do deep fakes of a specific person, etc), but a lot of it seems really murky when you try to imagine how to actually prosecute over it.
Qubes is linux isn’t it?
I don’t think it will, at least not to the extent that some past tech trends like blockchain did. Right now companies are still in the “throw AI at everything and see what works” phase, which will definitely pass. But even if AI never improves from this point I still suspect it will find a permanent place being used for generating spam and porn.
This is pretty great news honestly. I see a lot of pushback against AI, but realistically I don’t think there’s any chance of getting companies to stop AI development.
If it’s going to infect every part of our lives either way, I’d much rather we focus on making it actually widely available to individuals, where people can use it privately for their own benefit, rather than it being one more way that tech giants take control of our lives.
So several smaller lemmy instances (like sopuli, ani.social, reddthat, etc) are having some serious slowdown issues right now and are having delayed federation with lemmy.world. From what I understand, the suspected cause is a kbin bug, where it’s glitching out and spamming the fediverse with infinitely repeating federation updates. Several lemmy instances have blocked kbin over it (including lemmy.world and sopuli), but it’s still causing issues and slowdowns.
There have been multiple attempts to reach the admin for kbin about it, but his developer accounts seemingly went dark 4 months ago (according to his commit history) and he’s not responding to any messages. Mbin has seemingly already patched it according to their resolved issues/pull requests, but it’s looking like kbin may have to be cut off from the rest if the fediverse unless the dev resurfaces.
My windows install started corrupting my hard drive every 1-2 weeks. Completely unrecoverable requiring a fresh install. I installed Linux to try to see if it was a hardware issue, and it worked fine without issues. Ending up just sticking to it. Couple years later I built a new PC, and tried windows again. I enjoyed having all my games work again (this was pre-proton so Linux gaming was hit or miss), but really hated the experience of using windows after being free from it for so long. Went back to Linux, and have been here ever since (about 10 years now). And thanks to valve/proton, I no longer feel like I’m giving anything up to use exclusively Linux.
Its crazy that a fanless 15watt arm chip can run old games this wel! Compared to a pentium 4 thats is taking off.
It’s not fanless, but the Steam Deck APU also has a 15w max (total power consumption can climb up to ~25w after fans/screen/etc). Overall really impressive what can be run these days on so little power.
I really loved Solus back when it was in more active development, I’m glad to see it coming back.
It may be ready, I haven’t tried their latest version. Most of the functionality was there, but it had some rough spots. I’ve been meaning to go back and try daily driving it again.
I think that’s what BlendOS is working towards. You might keep an eye on them.
Some people are saying this is good, but Microsoft recently changed my default search engine to bing “In case it was accidentally changed or changed by another program”. I have zero faith they won’t abuse this, they are becoming ever increasingly pushy about using edge and switching to bing.
I’ve taken in a number of cats, it takes awhile for the older cats to accept new cats, but they’ve always gotten over it. The only exception is I had one singular kitten who could not get along with the other cats and had to be re-homed.
I’m willing to forgive ffmpeg because it can do an insane amount of stuff. It’s nice to know whenever I have a weird media related need (converting a file, cropping and compressing a video for discord, etc) that I already have a tool capable of doing it on my machine. Just takes a quick search for the command and I’m ready to go.
To be honest, I kept a text file of all my most common ffmpeg commands in my video folder for quick reference.
Yeah, that’s the scariest part. This was caught, but are there other projects out there that have been attacked with similar methods that no one knows about?
Yeah, their original coverage was good, but they also had a really good follow up today.
From what I understand, they already try to sell you nitro if you already have nitro. So I doubt they’ll exclude these.
I had assumed it was probably a state sponsored attack. This looks like it was planned from the beginning, and any cyber attack that had years of planning and waiting strikes me as state-sponsored.
It is possible that it is related to how Turkey has been flagging Linux software as malware.
Do you have any more context on this? A quick search showed someone saying the same thing on Reddit, but I haven’t seen any actual sources saying this.
Yeah, the bank that manages my mortgage has mandatory text message 2fa if you’re on a new computer. And something about Firefox keeps it from remembering my machine, so I have to do the text message 2fa everytime.
Right now it’s working fine, but they had a period of a few months where the text messages would take 10-15min to send after you tried to log in, and the log in attempt would expire after 5 min, making it impossible to log in. All of which could be avoided if they would let me use a 2fa app.
