  • It's a thing here in Europe. I'm guessing, because our walls are generally concrete, we usually either throw on decorative plaster or a wallpaper, to make it feel a bit warmer and have a uniform surface which accepts paint more readily.

    It's even quite common that if you rent an appartment, that the walls have wallpaper on them, which is painted with a fresh coat of white paint every time someone moves out and the next folks move in.And then some people, after they move in, will just paint (some of) the walls in a different color, if they feel like not living in pure white...

  • British people also have mashed peas as their guacamole-but-not.

  • Das schon, aber die richtig arschigen Unternehmen entlassen dich dann eben aus dubiosen Gründen, wenn du zu unangenehm bist.

    Bei größeren Unternehmen hingegen, ist ein Betriebsrat (≠ Gewerkschaft) sogar gesetzlich vorgeschrieben.

  • Hmm, wundert mich, dass nichts zur Datenauswertung gesagt wurde. Habe mich nie mit den Apps beschäftigt, aber wäre davon ausgegangen, dass man das Kaufverhalten der Kunden damit auch erfasst + analysiert.

  • Hmm, könnte daran liegen, dass der Großteil der Gespräche mit Nutzern genau diese Sätze beinhaltet...

  • Well, this isn't a problem for smaller, less centralized services, so that might be an answer. Obviously not an answer big corporations will bring to the table, but ultimately, it might simply be among the reasons why users do still prefer smaller services.

  • I have my repos on Codeberg and one of the 'disadvantages' is that, well, it's a non-profit, so I genuinely don't want to waste their resources.They ask you to only host open-source repos there, meaning that using it for backups of shitty personal projects, even if I would throw in an open-source license, is just out of the question for me.

    And that has weirdly been a blessing in disguise. Like, if it's not useful for humanity to see, do I really care to keep it around forever?

    And I've had three projects now where I felt an obligation to push them over the finish line of actually making them a useful open-source project. Which had me iron out some of the usability shortcuts I took, made me learn a good amount of code quality stuff and of course, just feels good to complete.

  • It looks similar in structure to JSON:

     
        
    {
        "attr": {
            "size": "62091",
            "filename": "qBuUP9-OTfuzibt6PQX4-g.jpg",
            ...
        };
        "key": "Wa4AJWFldqRZjBozponbSLRZ",
         ...
    }
    
      

    So, it might be some JSON meta language. I just find it weird that it seems to contain all data, so you wouldn't use this for validating or templating JSON.

    But ultimately, it also means with a handful of regex replacements, you could turn this particular file into JSON. Might make building your own parser almost trivial...

  • I mean, at this rate, I'm imagining Microsoft will have hollowed out OpenAI in a few years, but I could see them buying Boston Dynamics, too, yes

  • If we're talking passwords, that's a no. If we're talking enough personal data that you could use it for spear phishing, identity theft or targetted malvertising, that's a no.

    Honestly, no matter how innocous the information you want is, I would be extremely suspicious why you'd want it. And I'm certainly not turning off my ad blocker either.

  • I wish this kind of disclaimer would have been in my physics book in school. Big reason why I didn't pursue an academic career in physics is because all the quantum stuff sounded like a religion, trying to convince itself that superpositions are real and you can't measure things, because you just can't.

    Many years later I know that there's explanations for these things and that some of the illogical things I've been told were not nearly as certain or just flatout wrong. Because yeah, we're still pushing the boundaries of our understanding outwards...

  • I guess, the real question is: Could we be using (simplistic) LLMs on a phone for predictive text?

    There's some LLMs that can be run offline and which maybe wouldn't use enormous amounts of battery. But I don't know how good the quality of those is...

  • You're in the No Stupid Questions community. Think about rule 7 in particular.

  • 🦀

  • Yeah, I do also think, it could be built today. But I mainly just don't expect such glasses to have enough mass market appeal that it would actually be available by 2030...

  • I think, it's only in the free version of Spotify. So, if you're paying for Spotify Premium, you wouldn't have that problem.

    But I mean, I'm obviously completely out of the Spotify loop, so definitely take that one with a grain of salt...

  • Using such glasses? I realized, I didn't explicitly say that in the comment you replied to...

  • Prepares you for the real thing...

  • I guess, why my interpretation is different, is because I'm a developer as well. And to us, modding can be more fun than actually playing a game.

    So, if you assume the game will be good, you'll probably just dive into the modding right away. Especially if you want to ride along the initial hype wave, so that your mods are immediately appreciated by lots of players.

    If you do then start playing the game and notice that it doesn't match your expectations, even if that were an entirely personal problem, that just robs you of your motivation to continue with the modding.

    And I guess, that is really what the guy is pissed about. That he wasted time, because the marketing evoked wrong expectations in him.

    Personally, I would consider myself wiser than that, because I've been burned by Bethesda's marketing beforehand (Skyrim), but I'm certainly not wishing that kind of wisdom onto other people.
