They’re spamming music platforms with a high volume of songs and as many tags as they can, trying to generate revenue from listens. Here’s an example: I listen to a band called Voyager. In Tidal, sometimes I get recommended some random AI-g

I’m ambivalent on this. On one hand, I want to believe so. I started using Kagi just because I want to put my money where my mouth is. On the other hand, there’s cases like Amazon Prime adding ads to Video, and then charging extra to remove

Bye tracking advertising, don’t let the door kick you on your way out. Oh, before you leave, can you take with you those billboards and gas station ads? No, I don’t need those, you can keep them.

Whatever it is we do, I predict that trust of internet communications will go down significantly. Maybe we will pivot back to in-person meetings for important transactions.

I think this could be it, thanks!

Oh crap, I remember using that back in the day.

A long time ago, I read an article about a journalist that did just that: bought a pack of “anonymized” location data set, then promptly tracked and interviewed one of the people in said data set. It kills me that I can’t remember where the

It does a bunch of things to minimize Windows’ footprint: https://github.com/Atlas-OS/Atlas Mind you, I don’t agree with some of those, like removing Windows Defender and disabling core isolation. I skipped those durin

I haven’t had to deal with nearly as much bullshit from Microsoft since I switched to AtlasOS, which is a trimmed down version of Windows. Then again, I know better than fully trusting a third-party patch for an operating system, of all thi

Tale as old as ML: people don’t understand it’s an assistance tool, and instead assume it’s always right. Crazy how we tend to wave away even errors rates of 1% or less. One in a thousand is a lot.

I know the feeling. Recently I switched to Linux because of it. Now I’m running: Manjaro Cinnamon LTE: I know there’s some controversy with Manjaro, but it’s been working fine for me and it drastically increased my laptop’s battery life. At

Google Translate is being too literal. It just means “jack of all trades, master of none”. A more literal translation (with some liberties for the rhyme) would be “handyman nit: knows a bit of everything, but understands jack shit”.

That’s exactly how Invidious works, actually. Proxying from the server is an option you can toggle.

I’ve never even considered, really… I wanted to stick to self-hosting and FOSS as much as I could, and it all gets very little traffic. You’re right that it’s a good idea, though. I’ll look into it!

Ooh, another one I have: I cosplay as a sysadmin. A while back I had bought a domain for my email, and I thought “I should write a blog about creating a blog”. At first I hosted it in GitHub Pages, but then I realized I have a perfectly goo

I deep-dove into the identity of a spammer. They were sending me the crappiest, absolutely lowest-denominator hodge-podge of spam. Fly repellent, ultrasonic dog whistles, knives. It all seemed like legit businesses, so it was just some mark

Oh, I hadn’t even considered Alpine… I need to add it to my Ventoy drive.

I just started to distro-hop again to find the flavor of Linux I like. My current plan is to use a lightweight but slick distro for day-to-day stuff, to maximize battery life, plus GPU pass-through to a VM for gaming. If I don’t get that to

To be fair, they do sort of mention it: > At low temperatures, the single-molecule device shows a strong change in current with only a small change in gate voltage But you’re absolutely right that saying “low temperature” when talking ab

Honestly, the more you read the worse it gets. You gotta wonder if cartels have any sort of infosec.

Recently, I bought myself a new laptop - a Razer Blade 14 with AMD chipset - and had to relive the pain of stock Windows 11 all over. In no particular order: * The amount of “feature” bloat is ridiculous. Widgets, AI assistant, a whole bunc

Absolutely true, that's why I said "for my use case". The Deck is amazing, it just doesn't have enough juice to give me the gaming experience I want.

If you’re only gonna use it for gaming then maybe stick to the Switch. That being said, the Deck is definitely more versatile because it’s just a little PC - you can do far more than the Switch will let you. Also, having access to Steam’s

Man, what on Earth has happened to Microsoft? It’s not just Edge, Windows is a disaster too. I just got a new laptop, and I was surprised by the sheer amount of bloat (widgets, notifications, crappy Bing AI integration, Edge, etc). It took

I'm sharing this so people are aware. I received a blackmail email yesterday, demanding Bitcoin (of course) in exchange of deleting my data. Funny thing is, I've never been to Fred Hutch, and the sample data they sent me is outdat
