If a glass platter really holds 360TB and can be made affordable, it wouldn’t really matter.

They might be more common than you think!

Lemmy/PieFed isn’t all US and EU. People from all kinds of places can be found here.

So, Google could be allowed to have the tools to collect, store, and process CSAM all over the Web without oversight?

Pretty much everyone else would get straight to jail for attempting that.

As always, there’s a relevant XKCD:

https://xkcd.com/927/

Your eloquence strikes me as unnecessary but beautiful - truly, it is in human nature to overcomplicate, but in such a special way that makes it unique and almost spiritual instead of verbose and obtuse. I compliment your decisiveness and ability - a distinctively human ability - to see through this thin line and turn your toilet habit into something so profound. Yet, I cannot help but note that taking out the phone while unloading your bowel - or bladder, for that matter - is yet another symptom - a very alarming symptom - of the modern age interfering with our ability to distance ourselves from a neverending steam of distractions, one that comes hand in hand with modern AI-powered enshittification. So, if you’d like to truly reconnect with your roots, to find human in yourself - perhaps it might be bright to create an intimate space where the only connection you experience is a connection with yourself.

Perhaps, I couldn’t express myself as vividly as you do; for that I apologize; yet, I’m not even operating in the domain of my mother tongue, so I hope I can be forgiven. Besides, one other distinctively human thing is to try regadless.

The worst part - through human communication, texts on the internet, etc. - it seems to propagate towards people who don’t even use AI.

I myself have strong aversion to it, but found myself using much more bullet points, cliché constructions, and yes - even em-dashes - when I don’t actively pay attention to how I write.

I’ve always been sensitive to language around me, naturally adapting to the environment around - and now it backfires.

1. It’s a commercial product, what else could you expect?

Even with Windows

Sad to know!

Feel you - hope you’ll have safer ways to bike in the future! Maybe there are some kind of bike advocacy groups in your area?

Yeah, North America and US specifically is one of these hard to reach places

Also, 12 minutes drive is a biking distance - if you have any semblance of bike infrastructure, that is. Surprisingly though, even American cities have that sometimes.

People commonly have a choice not to drive a car in the first place.

Though cultural pressures, as well as some specific areas being genuinely hard to reach, pushes many people towards it anyway. But if you have a choice, choose public.

Having both options available would be pretty nice

As a Russian communist with relatives in Ukraine, count me in!

(Historical context for others: 1917 has seen two revolutions, February one, which ended monarchy, and October one, which brought bolsheviks, the communists and socialists siding with Lenin, to power. Lenin has then taken Russia out of the World War I)

About 10th, really

Afaik, you can set it up not to have any image, or have any other one.

Servo and Ladybird are both worth keeping an eye on, but neither is even close to be ready yet, unfortunately

We’re unlikely to see the grand price fall in the coming year. Can get a bit cheaper, though.

Microsoft’s Windows chief Pavan Davuluri had earlier hinted at such plans already about how the next evolution of OS will make it capable enough to “semantically understand you” as Windows will get “more ambient, more pervasive, more multi-modal”. Using features like Copilot Vision it will be able to “look at your screen” and do more.

Since when did corpos try to reframe the word “pervasive” as something positive?

First they laughed at Russians

Then they laughed at Chinese

Now they laugh at Americans and Brits

Who’s gonna laugh the last?

No system is good enough to prevent abuse and dismantling of democracy. Europeans already lose footing and need radical action to stop repeating same mistakes. Authoritarians are already knocking on the doors, and they will not be quiet.
