I didn't consider that. BF's behavior actually makes sense in that case. I guess I never eat at restaurants that are that full. But seeing OOP's picture, neither do they.
I use keepassxc and although I'm unlikely to ever install it any other way than through my distro's package manager without 3rd party repos, this is good to know and hits a personal note.
Fuck all nefarious hackes and scammers. I just re-installed my server and installed crowdsec on it not 24h hours ago, and already got 20 000 bans. Twenty thousand! It's getting worse and worse and worse and worse.
I think you have to abandon the idea of stability, relative wealth and wellbeing, forget the present status quo and see yourself as inhabitants of an economically disadvantaged country with an unstable government.
So motivation is higher and the threshold to start doing something about it is lower, because nobody wants to give up (the illusion of) stability.
Oh and all forms of racism, which really creates huge division in your society. Together we stand, divided we fall.
And of course I mean "you all" - and therein lies the problem. Not an individual, but a critical mass. Go out and find them. See who is motivated to do more than just talking behind closed doors or walled gardens.
But hey, it IS happening already. Maybe not as much as necessary but otoh it goes through all strata of society. Seems not all people are shit-for-brains egomaniacs and even the established remnants of democracy are fighting back.
We have a warning example right in front of us. Not saying Putin is a genius but he's certainly evil and certainly way more intelligent than most of the current US administration. And he's got a pretty good grip on his country and people.
Seen this way, what happens in the USA right now is way better.
All this is already happening and has been for a while before the whole AI hype even started.
I will take your question as a more general "What can happen", not focusing too much on LLMs. Although arguably it was their precursors who started the more nefarious ways of aquiring & perusing ever more esp. behavioral data.
So the question is: what are the real-life harms of private online data collection everybody warns about? The answer is as long winded as explaining the mechanism of the aquisition itself.
It's pervasive. "They" can tweak almost every manner of interaction with their customers/subjects. It affects younger people (and I mean younger than me, and I still remember the time when there was no internet for the people) constantly and in ways they aren't even aware of. It allows the creation of data sets that are being sold on - now including DNA thanks to millions of useful idiots who went to 23andme -
out of breath. maybe somebody else can continue this
Also, technically there's still a cookie after that:
The choice is recorded in a consent cookie
The article seems to ride on people's anxiety about walls of text & choices presented by various cookie popups (not all of which even have a "Reject all" option) and IMHO isn't quite clear enough that "Reject all" is the best option for 99% of use cases.
Fwiw, the article is fine, it doesn't offer anything untrue. And the site isn't "shady", it's just one of many new websites that profit from heightened attention on Ukraine. This is also reported here and there's of course the documentary which I already downloaded for later consumption.
I admit it’s a bit thin, but ultimately all articles about the GRU’s activities are going to be. Russia is closed for any flow of objective information.
Yet we need to talk about it and spread out and combine what we have.
And what we have paints a very likely and very damning scenario.
Firstly, the article is as factual as it can be regarding the topic, and there are multiple additional links for the curious ones, like yourself.
No evidence offered, and the article spends half the time talking about Elon Musk without relation to the report.
I wouldn't say "no" evidence but nothing conclusive, as always with Russia because they don't grant access and deny everything.
I would really love this “news” to present a little bit of investigative journalism so I don’t have to validate it myself each and every time something drops
You mean like going into Russia?

Prager of Prager Not-a-University. On a committee that makes decision about actual school education. Goodness. But as things stand, it's just another brick in the wall. The USA is doomed to fail. It's just a question of When and How, not If.
