#Roku is the same Company that #bricked everyone's devices until they agreed to Roku's #ForcedArbitration because they had a #DataBreach and didn't want anybody to sue them over it.

Roku is so beyond dead to me. I used to have a Roku device in every single room of my house. Not any more. I wouldn't trust that Company to spell my name right. Shady company run by even more shady executives.

Avoid!

ich glaube, der hauptdenkfehler beim nachdenken รผber generative ki, bei den nerds meiner generation, ist zu glauben, dass die systeme noch "besser" werden.

"jaaahaa, jetzt ist das noch buggy as hell, aber in ein paar jahren โ€ฆ"

wir haben diesen approach an unserer erfahrung mit software eingeรผbt und da hat das meist hingehauen.

aber ki ist anders: die unzuverlรคssigkeit ist nicht eine noch zu lรถsende unperfektion, sondern immanent systemische eigenschaft der modelle. das wird nicht besser.

Interessant! Ich denke, dass das bei manchen Anwendungsfรคllen eine Rolle spielt, bei anderen gar nicht. Kreative Anwendungen mรผssen nicht faktisch-zuverlรคssig sein zum Beispiel. Und wenn Modelle Tools in die Hand bekommen, die ihre Ausgaben รผberprรผfen kรถnnen, ist das wiederrum eine mรถgliche Lรถsung fรผr das von dir beschriebene Problem.

@Jeanniewarner @rrb Yeah, have you ever read those interviews with CEO's that beg the question, 'what does your day consist of?'
It's always like, "I get up at 7:00, hit the gym, have a light breakfast, then I get a few calls out of the way. After walking the dogs and a few laps in the pool, I head to work on my eBike at 11:00."
It's like they have this rock star rider tour contract. "Coffee & Bagel truck on Wednesday's must park next to the tennis courts."

Wow, Major Russia announcement from Julian Assange News

The storm has arrived. Putin has demanded the extradition of Bill Gates and Anthony Fauci for crimes against humanityโ€”and he's not bluffing. Russia now holds irrefutable intelligence proving COVID-19 was engineered as a weapon, not a mistake. The world is at a crossroads: hand over the monsters who unleashed death and control, or watch the whole house of cards collapse.

THE IMMORTAL SURVIVOR: WEST AFRICAN LUNGFISH
The West African lungfish isnโ€™t just a fishโ€”itโ€™s a biological marvel of endurance.
Survives up to 3 YEARS without food or water
When rivers dry up, it burrows into mud
Forms a protective mucus cocoon around its body
Uses its lungs to breathe air, patiently waiting for rain
This ancient fish can pause life itself until conditions return.
It's one of natureโ€™s most extreme survivalists, defying drought, time, and hunger.
A living fossil with a survival strategy millions of years old.

@Mamako varish users do usually mark posts sensitive but they have emojis and profile pics that can't be marked sensitive. I've requested @Wiz to mark detroitcity.com as sensitive cuz that's the epitomy of depravity without censorship.

my question with the above post wasn't about that though, rather i was asking if there's a fediverse client that lets you hide sensitive posts (that are actually marked sensitive) from your feed, so they don't clog it up.

example of how it looks like on a browser. 3 whole posts in a row are sensitive but muted so they don't take up too much space.

#EA has confirmed that #Battlefield 6 will be completely unplayable on #Linux systems, including #SteamDeck, due to its new kernel-level anti-cheat system, โ€œEA Javelin,โ€ which explicitly blocks Linux. This move is a slap in the face to the growing #Linuxgaming community, especially considering how far compatibility has come with #Proton and #SteamOS.

Worse yet, EA is using open-source tech like the #GodotEngine in parts of the game, while denying access to the very platforms that champion #opensource. Itโ€™s hypocritical and #anticonsumer.

Thereโ€™s no option to disable #anticheat for #singleplayer or #privateservers, meaning users who value #privacy or #freedom of platform are locked out entirely.

It's a hostile decision rooted in control, not security.

I'm confused. No one is forcing anybody to buy #Battlefield6 or to play it. I mean, I'd love nothing more than to run #Zbrush or #MarvelousDesigner on my #Linux workstation but neither of those applications support Linux. I've told #Maxon and #Clo3D that I would appreciate a native Linux version but until they release one I'm left using my SurfacePro running Windows. I do spend much more time in #Blender3D though and use #Blender for most of my finishing work so all's not lost. Don't buy #Battlefield if you don't like the fact that it won't play on Linux. Simple. ---

The point of our current government, of course, is to enable extremists.

"The Center for Prevention Programs and Partnerships, a program housed within DHS designed to prevent domestic violent extremism within the US, has lost 20% of its staff since the beginning of the year. It is currently being led by a 22-year-old former intern from the Heritage Foundation"

Also FEMA is part of DHS, and DHS is a kidnapping & trafficking cartel led by a pathological liar.
