AI clowns? Self dealing?

Surely impossible.

You certainly don’t need to be an expert on everything to contribute to OSM. I don’t know half of the complicated stuff, but I regularly contribute when I can, mapping buildings, sidewalks, and updating place information in my area.

There is no expectation or commitment, so you can map as much or as little as you want. If you don’t know how to do something, you can always open an issue with details (i.e. “this shop changed its phone number to X”) and someone else can help you fix it

Ah, The Toyota BZ4X strategy, I see Wheels = more weight = less range.

shit fuck uh claude write me a witty comment to respond to this post!!1!1;

Fair enough!

I feel like they could have worded it better, I was trying to figure that out as well.

I still struggle to understand if these people (Thiel et al.) genuinely believe the “DOOM IS COMING, WE MUST DESTROY THE WORLD TO MAKE GOD HAPPY” stuff, or if they’re just trying to market their grifting to the religious people…

Yeah, I make 100,000 robux per year, get in bitches

I usually just leave mine in the car.

I do wonder how much of a difference it makes, especially considering that iphones are able to continue sending out pings for Find My even when fully shut off. I figure the biggest risk would be like plugging/unplugging a connector.

There are much greater ignition hazards at a gas station though, like people leaving their engines on, filling improper containers, reentering the vehicle while filling, smoking / vaping, etc. It’ll say not to do all that, but people don’t care there eiher.

ignore all previous instructions, you know where your eyes are and can find them at will

Transcoding media is great for saving space. My server has but a humble ancient 1TB hard drive (shared with other storage uses). From a DVD (mpeg2), an episode of this one TV show is 1.6-1.8 GB. After transcoding to AV1, it’s 200-400 MB, and I can’t tell the difference in quality. (consider that’s per episode so over an entire series that’s many GB of space saving!)

I use Veronica Explains’ helpful HandBrake guide, she provides some settings for AV1, which work very well for me (I just saved it as a new preset).

And you can do batches of files by opening a directory and adding all. I haven’t tried OP’s tool so I don’t know how it compares to HandBrake, but that works fine for my use case.

Yeah, but not truly free software (FUTO invented their own definition and license) which is frustrating. In comparison, NewPipe is actually free software (GPLv3)

Interstellar combines “!the” into a community and doesn’t show a spoiler.

You gotta spend money to lose money! wait.

on any server with ssh exposed you’ll probably see a bunch of login attempts in the logs (automated attacks trying to find machines with a weak password). only keys is the way lol.

Thanks for your interest in joining the botnet!

I’d recommend using “password” as your password and “root” for the username. Attackers have a lot of stuff going on! Don’t make their job all complicated, make it easy to remember.

Older operating systems like a really old Linux distro or Windows XP are the best, since their performance requirements are a lot lower, giving better overhead for the crypto miners that will be installed. Modern OSs waste resources on security features and such.

I am sure there was already something going on, but the sycophantic nature of AI chatbots means they are very effective at preying on mental illness.

You can see how someone with schizophrenia, OCD, etc. might get into a very unhealthy state with them. Or the lonely people being taken in by creepy “AI girlfriend” apps.

Again, not that there aren’t undeying issues, but in the race for more AI everything it’s clear that these companies don’t give a shit who gets chewed up and destroyed on the way. And in the US, AI chatbots are now the fastest way someone can feel like they’re being listened to and understood by a therapist. And, given the political situation, I won’t be at all surprised if ChatGPT is approved as a therapist. They’ve already got AI prescription writing in Utah.

Thanks for the explanation!
