That’s the way to do it, smart planning. I’m glad you were able to make it happen even if it set you back more than you had hoped.

I only wish I had money to get in before prices bump up. 😭

Being poor sucks.

It’s time to start being prepared, observant, and resolute.

To be fair, you can use the energy of your rage and pour it into becoming prepared, observant, and resolute. It doesn’t have to be an either or.

I had never heard of this so went looking. Super useful stuff here!

I think both of your arguments in this thread have merit. You are correct that it is a misused tool, and you are correct that the better solution is a more compassionate society. The other person is also correct that we can and do at least make attempts to make such tools less available as paths to self harm. Since you used the analogy of people jumping off bridges, I have lived near bridges where this was common so barriers and nets were put up to make it difficult for anyone but the most determined to use it as a path to suicide. We are indeed failing people in a society that puts profit over human life first, but even in a more idealized society mental health issues and attempts at suicide would still happen and to not fail those people we would still need to do things like erect barriers and safeguards to prevent self-harm. In my eyes both of you are correct and it is not an either or issue as much as it is a “por que no los dos?” issue. Why not build a better society and still build in safeguards?

Never expect Linux users to not be completely pedantic instead of looking for an actual joke.

You’re welcome. Easy mistake to make, I make it constantly, in fact haha!

LLMs Have Lead Led to 14 Deaths

FTFY

You gotta find a better way to present this other than making it sound like Torvalds is a baby taking a shit. “The one who makes” I’m dead.

The best solution, imho. Been around for a long time and so notorious it got removed for DMCA violations on github and gitlab so it had to move to a service outside US copyright cabal jurisdictions.

I feel like this headline is misleading because I don’t think there is a way to convince privacy experts this is a good idea.

Like, the entire idea is antithetical to privacy experts understanding of the issue. You aren’t going to get them to suddenly turn tail and go “gosh you’re right, I wasn’t thinking of the children!”

I think that’s generally agreed and no one seems entirely sure why catfriend1 chooses to do it this way.

Well, as OP mentioned, and others have speculated in the official syncthing forums, apparently catfriend1 did a repository reset where they wiped everything and started over something like three times last year. So that’s still a possibility. I’m going to wait until more information comes out or until catfriend1 doesn’t come back after a month or two before I start worrying about the future of the project. Worth finding anyone who had backed up the most recent version of the repository though, just in case.

yeah catfriend1 was technically in charge of syncthing-fork before the original syncthing stopped being developed. catfriend1 in other words essentially just continued development on their fork on their own, which kept syncthing alive.

They’re just helping catalog and organize all the world’s information guys! Nevermind that they don’t want to catalog any information on the location of ICE officers, they don’t consider that part of the world’s information! /s

I mean, I don’t know what to say other than this is definitely showing whose side they’re on.

I am Error.

Tarsem Singh’s The Fall which is practically a love letter to classic cinema practical special effects. It obviously includes a small amount of modern CGI effects, but he pushed really hard for most of the “special effects” to be of the traditional practical variety.

The story is a little cheesy, but the visuals are no less stunning than they were when it was released. If only it had been filmed in the era of 4K it would be even more stunning.

Which is even sadder because Ethereum has always been a trash coin.

Western civilization is on its way to collapse but not for the reasons he thinks… It’s so absurd because his existence and his politics as well as others like him are some of the leading causes of western collapse.
