I don’t think the US will ever be trusted or respected again; they were already really pushing it before the last decade happened.

Make sure to brush up on your fern reproduction cycle as well

For sure, yeah. When I joined my current company that provides a web service, I was blown away by how much is recorded. DataDog has a feature called RUM & Session Replay and I don’t think people realise that every mouse movement, click, and interaction in general is recorded in enough detail that as a developer I can play back user sessions as if I were watching a screen recording. Mixed with the fact that it also captures as much identifying information as it can, it’s pretty fucking creepy

It’s important because none of OpenAI’s software or databases were hacked. What was hacked was a service they use. As much as I dislike it, most companies that have a presence online use analytical services

Doesn’t matter if a 3rd party was involved

involved isn’t the correct term for this, or rather it’s exact opposite direction. The 3rd party was hacked and as a result OpenAI data was leaked (along with any other companies using the platform that were affected)

I bring it up because the nuance is important when I can predict people will jump on OpenAI to make claims of shoddy code. I hate OpenAI and Sam Altman but again, the nuance is important because this can happen to any company

Get mad at the fact analytic companies collect enough data to cause this much of a mess if anything

confirm[ing] that a ton of user data has been exposed owing to a breach in a third-party web analytics tool called Mixpanel.

Important detail to know before commenting: it was Mixpanel analytics apparently that was breached and not ChatGPT itself.

Another reason to have Firefox strict privacy mode turned on along with uBlock and Disconnect though :)

For my city, that’s actually usually the local university radio stations and it’s great

Fuck reddit but going after (moderated) websites for user uploaded content isn’t a great path. In this case, maybe they could go after reddit though if they could prove reddit intentionally allowed the content though

Is the west really doing our part?

I would sort of do that in a “well yeah I do that too” sort of way but just recently found out I actually have ADHD lol

Really? I have two 4k monitors, one being 160hz and I find they’re handled way better by Wayland over X11. Even fractional scaling is perfect now

…have you actually used Wayland? If you’re using Plasma or GNOME, its indistinguishable from X11 except it actually has a slightly more (inexplicable tbh) polished feel to it.

This comment is incredibly misinformed

Ah makes sense. I think the heart is in the right place for these sorts of bans but prohibition just doesn’t work. Tobacco usage is already way down since the 50s and that’s been because of education, not prohibition. Banning it just makes it seem cool again

Maybe I’m misremembering but didn’t Australia do something like this?

I have a shelf in one of my closets where I just mindlessly shove all my sheets, blankets, pillow cases, etc. It actually works surprisingly better than you’d expect; I’ve never had any issues finding things

I just got officially diagnosed at 28 on Friday and I’m so happy I won’t have to do this anymore

Lemmy users out here proving sarcasm tags necessary even as they hate on them

Regexes in bash commands are my nemesis.

I’ve seen one of these before! It was on an older, tiny SFFPC I snagged from work a long while back. I didn’t even know it was a thing but apparently it is

It was a really popular brand of pod-based vape before the US government decided to declare war on that brand specifically. I’m in Canada but I haven’t seen them here in years so even saying “juuling” is showing your age (or just that you only know about vaping from TV/media)
