I know.
My response was to the previous comment.
In a non Tesla, if someone is locked in a car, what happens? There isn’t some secret “let me in” button. You just break a window. This is a dumb story.

Then break the fucking window if it’s an actual emergency.
I switched the the snap package and it’s been rock solid and pain free the entire time.
I welcome any and all comments on why snap is Satan.
It highlighted some pretty glaring weaknesses in OSS as well. Over worked maintainers, unvetted contributers, etc etc.
The XZ thing seems like we got “lucky” more than anything. But that type of attack may have been successful already or in progress elsewhere. It’s not like people are auditing every line of every open source tool/library. It takes really talented devs and researchers to truly audit code.
I mean, I certainly couldn’t do it for anything semi advanced, super clever, or obfuscated the way the XZ thing was.
But I agree, that the fact we could audit it at all is a plus. The flip side is: an unvetted bad actor was able to publish these changes because of the nature of open source. I’m not saying bad actors can’t weasel their way into Microsoft, but that’s a much higher bar in terms of vetting.
It’s pretty hilarious when people act like being open source means it’s “more secure”. It can be, but it’s absolutely not guaranteed. The xz debacle comes to mind.
There are tons of bugs in open source software. Linux has had its fair share.
As much as I hate that prime added ads to a paid service (absolute horse shit), the way they’ve implemented it so far is one of the better methods. They’ll do a single ad at the beginning that’s like “this show is brought to you uninterrupted by Samsung”. Then no more ads until the next episode.
YouTube is trash with it.
Of course you are getting downvoted, because you are right and not being a reactionary douche like your average lemmizen.
Lol?
You think the current currency system is the cause of war?
Buncha wet blankets on Lemmy. JFC.
I know there is a ton of hype around AI, but at least there is actually something there (unlike crypto).
This is the most exciting thing to happen with computing in a while and if you read Lemmy you’d think everything is bleak and hopeless.
There is so much opportunity to change the way we interact with computers and innovate.
The article even states this is a thinly veiled ad for some other “method”.
The agile manifesto is fantastic. Scrum can work wonders as a means for providing a framework to hang “agile principles” onto.
Most organizations don’t do “scrum” well or quickly lose sight of the “why” behind it.
Companies are gonna company at the end of the day. Process + bureaucracy + buzzwords + ill-informed management + vendors promises + shit customers/product owners = late projects.
Agile done right, works. The benefit agile has over waterfall(the process it replaced in a lot of places), imo, is that it’s predicated on working software, responding to change and working collaboratively/iteratively.
Yea, but they also do some great journalism and if you can, support them.
We don’t have many decent journos these days and they need to eat.
Normalize paying for things that add value to your life.
Also, it’s a bit ironic that people might be concerned about privacy but unwilling to pay for something. The alternative is usually privacy invasive ads/tracking/selling user data.
It’s literally the Biden admin. They’ve made it a huge priority and followed through.
People knock Biden, but he’s been consistently doing this stuff across the government. It’s refreshing.
Where are these docs? No one ever links to them or says where you can find them
Alt-f4 is a hotkey built-in to the latest windows patch that disables all non-microsoft trackers.
I had the same experience. Ecosia and ddg just didn’t give great results.
Kagi is the one that replaced Google for me. It’s pretty incredible.
Yes it’s paid. Yes it’s worth it. No, not everyone is emotionally ready to pay for search.
It’s pretty common across most orgs really. Google just seems to have perfected it. Which might actually mean they’ll kill it soon!
Lemmy is gonna lemmy.
There isn’t any evidence that they used her voice for the “Sky” voice model. Actually, there is evidence that they paid a voice actress to model that specific actress’s voice.
That actress sounds similar to Scarlett, but it isn’t Scarlett’s voice. Is that illegal? No. Is it grounds for a suit? maybe. Will Scarlett win? Maybe.
Let’s put it another way. If you wanted to record an audio book, but you wanted the voice actor to have certain qualities that you think would help your book sell. You think Scarlett has all of those qualities, so you ask her if she would record it for you. She declines.
Well shit, that sucks. But wait! She’s not the only person with those vocal qualities. I am sure you can find someone else with very similar qualities. So you hire another voice actress that has all of those–which coincidentally and very understandable sounds a lot like Scarlett. But it isn’t Scarlett.
Everyone wants to say “big corp bad!” here, but if they truly didn’t use Scarlett’s voice and didn’t do any sort of manipulation to make it sound more like Scarlett, then why CANT they do it. I get that Scarlett is upset, but she’s basically mad that someone sounds like her–and decided to work for OpenAI.
If I wanted James Earl Jones to read my eulogy, but he isn’t available or is unwilling. Why couldn’t I get someone to sound like him to read it? Why should he be able to sue me for using a voice actor that sounds similar to him?
Yea, a lot of companies and even govt agencies have policies against recording meetings except for special circumstances. Edit: to clarify they have policies against employees initiating recordings (let alone automatically recording anything by default)
Once you have it, it’s a record. Now you have to keep it and treat it like one.
Or raped someone. .how the fuck is this more prison time than much more serious crimes.
Presumably they can claw back some of the money too
This comment chain made me chuckle. It’s such an “internet comment section” …trope? I don’t know the right word.
