In California we enacted Prop 65, which requires business to tell you when the business or product exposes you to cancer causing chemicals. The result was that every business and every product now has prop 65 warning labels. The warning itself immediately became meaningless, and now we’re left with a compliance regime and no consumer benefit.
Hopefully New York can learn from California’s foolishness and not just end up with an AI warning on every article.
Something maybe wrong? I have 58k photos and it didn’t take anywhere near that long. If memory serves, I just let it rip overnight and it was done the next day.
I think your description is reasonable, however I’d argue that they are not security cameras. Rather a nationwide public surveillance network intended to circumvent the 4th amendment.
Flock doesn’t secure people or property. They merely catalog the movements of people and vehicles for future law enforcement work, allowing both current location searches and comprehensive retrospective location history searches, all without warrants or court orders. Again, not picking on you here; just adding some color because while security camera is easy to understand, it also has a connotation that is quote different from what flock does.
OK, so after a bit of poking at it:
In any case, since it works with Nextcloud, the app, out of the box, is already a more functional mobile spreadsheet editor. That’s a big win in my book. Thanks!
Face detection as well, and partnered with Amazon Ring.
Admit nothing, deny everything, and make counter accusations has been the standard argumentative tactic of “the good guys” for generations.
Haven’t tried it. Is it better in this regard?
Yeah. That’s what opencloud uses. Their app does a handoff to Collabora.
Ill have a look at Joplin. Thanks.
they would have won the AI race not by building the best model, but by being the only company that could ship an AI you’d actually trust with root access to your computer. […] So why didn’t they? Maybe they just didn’t see it.
Apple has never been a early mover, they always intentionally come very late to the game. And Siri has been well behind the curve for more than a decade. Leading the way in a new product domain like this just isn’t in their DNA.
I think the author is right that people would have trusted Apple, but people use co-pilot, and people use Gemini. The bar for trust is already pretty low.
lol, right? I was literally thinking "What about Arc?"
I’m not having any issues with my current setup
I’m lazy. I just want things to work. So in your shoes, I wouldn’t go trying to create work if things work fine.
I run Debian on my home server and my VPS, but I chose it for familiarity and stability. I wouldn’t say Debian is inherently barebones; you can add/build whatever you want. It is a longstanding, capable distro that is the base of many other distros. It’s a solid choice that favors stability. And if things are working with Mint, why break them?
By contrast, I run CachyOS on my laptop because it’s a newer laptop and the rolling release model of CachyOS (and Arch, which it’s built on) gets the updates and hardware support I need to make my laptop work. It’s simpler, better, and less work, and significantly more functional than it’s be with Debian, because the rolling release distro moves fast. My home server is 10 year old hardware, so the more stable Debian is fine.
Faking disabilities is hardly unique to Stanford; it’s rampant in California. There are sometimes significant benefits afforded disabled people, and very little detection and enforcement of disability fraud.
I’ve been suggesting to friends for a while that the US government (where I live) is likely to start debanking their critics. So I’m not surprised to read this, I’m more surprised at how uncommon (or perhaps under-reported) these sorts of events are.
I’m also not familiar with Qonto or French banking. Does this person have rights? Are the french courts functional, and does this person have a good chance of prevailing against Qonto?
I tried Zulip for a small org. Used their hosted version since it’s quite generous for nonprofits. I personally liked it, but I was very much in the minority. Most of our people didn’t like it. I don’t think anyone articulated very well why they didn’t like it so it’s hard for me to characterize it other than people bitched about the UI a lot. I personally think it works fine, just be ready for some pushback.
We also tried Mattermost, and the uptake seemed a little easier. If you’re used to slack, discord, etc., most of them are pretty easy to transition to, but if you’re dealing with people that never used a real time chat platform, all of them (even slack) are like pushing a rock uphill because people can be impressively resistant to sensible change.
Even if this turns out to be true, Microsoft has a pretty clear track record that any walkback will be temporary and purely for PR optics.
Free or at minimal cost, but it still didn’t age well.
I remember reading a thread like this a while back and saw Home Assistant. I thought I don’t need that.
It’s probably the most used self hosted app we have.
I wrote a similar script way back in the day. It’s great, and it works perfectly, but I haven’t used it in a long time because it (and Time Machine) are reflective of a time when heaps of things just existed on one’s computer. Almost everything is cloud hosted (or self hosted) these days, and docs, photos, projects, etc. are all uploaded directly into those services. I wouldn’t really lose anything if my phone or laptop were lost.
Confirmed!
They even got a beer about it now.
Lotta Stockholm Syndrome in that blog.
