This, absolutely. I used to publish free software for download, and I had absolutely zero idea how it was used, nor did I care. The problem is that the surveillance mindset has infected developers these days so now you have a bunch of telem

It's somewhat cathartic to go through the settings and JS parts, using the source as a guide, and rip out/disable all the spyware, which you can do even without having to build the whole thing from source. Since I do my content fi

Of course it is. I don't even think this has anything to do with AI. You're experiencing how vulnerable the masses are to propaganda and manufactured consent.

This is already a "cat and mouse game", but one that conveniently benefits both the browser monopoly and the authoritarians wanting to turn the Internet into a closed proprietary system. ...and how convenient that pointing out the

There are tons of human-generated videos on YouTube that aren't worth watching either, and usually can be identified by "screamer" thumbnails and vapid clickbaity titles. I don't think we need to amplify another divisi

WTF are you complaining about? That is definitely not a "redditsque" comment.

It's the HDMI output that's the oddity; mid-90s cards with that much (little?) VRAM could already do 2048x1536x32, but usually had a VGA connector.

Maybe an LLM can also assist with modifying the Nvidia driver appropriately.

A GPU with HDMI and 16MB of VRAM is a very strange combination.

So, you'd think that something that pretends to be “Artificial Intelligence” would use the most efficient way of using our data for training purposes, right? I'm strongly convinced that these aren't "AI crawlers";

The title was already a clue that it's AI-generated, and it only gets worse... The first paragraph is probably not AI generated "A bias toward action is a superpower only when applied correctly - here's how to frame it as m

it's extremely close. First thing that caught my eye is the space between the command prompt and the first character of the command; but other than that, it's very much "I can't believe it's not Windows".

I believe Win9x all had basically the same UI appearance, and 2k just changed the default colours slightly (and they were always fully customisable, so no difficulty in changing them either.) Windows 1.x/2.x were noted for being rather

Is Windows 7 "retro" now? I personally still prefer the Windows Classic theme. The logo looks like Firefox, Thunderbird, and a Charmander mixed together.

It's amusingly ironic to talk about "IP theft" in the context of AI models.

Worth noting that Windows 3.x Paint could be used entirely from the keyboard, as the arrow keys moved the cursor and you could position it with pixel-precision. This is in addition to the fact that the rest of the OS was also entirely usabl

The backlash will soon die out once the majority see the results. (Of course there will always be the annoying "never AI" virtue-signalers, but the same can be said about anything.)

The article is quite short on details but I wonder if this is an ARM core that can also execute IBM Z, or the other way around; in other words, which ISA does it execute its first instruction at the reset vector? In that past I've work
