How is pirating software a thing?

  • Long story short.

    1. Be prepared for disaster.
    2. Scan it. Sandbox it if concerned.
    3. Firewall inspect/block/allow every outbound comm.
    4. Get it from a trusted source.

    Basically the same stuff you should be doing with all software.

    Edit for firewall clarification.

  • And there needs to be a WFH policy that states reasonable responsiveness. If on a break, set you chat status as such.

    Of course there are workarounds, like just carrying you phone with chat app.

    Then it really does boil down to people management.

  • Hahaha. Copper top.

    I think that what AI may do, for a long time, is enhance our hobbies.

    Those who can, do. Those who can’t, AI.

    Just like early cryptocurrency, there will be value in work done. Seeing an artist create will be just as valuable as the resulting artwork.

    • Research Firm Claims Most cars still cost more to charge than to fill up with gas

  • Thanks for doing the work.

    Consideration for readers. Remember not everyone lives where you do and has the same access and infrastructure that you do.

    Some US states are pushing for EV but do not have the power production needed to support it at scale. Maybe another 10 or 20 years when everyone has a nuclear reactor in their backyard.

    I’m all for EV for those that it makes sense. For many, especially the impoverished, it’s just another barrier to overcome.

    • X is suing a nonprofit group in US federal court over reports that hate speech has flourished at the platform formerly known as Twitter

  • The report is very light on comparative data. It does look cherry picked. I’d be much more interested in a real piece of research. I do see the point of CCDHs claims. But it’s pretty weak. Free speech has some uncomfortable aspects that the general populace doesn’t want to see. Blocking and filters can help tune the fire hose to your individual preferences. For example on X, I filter all the political out of my feed. It’s not that hard, people are just lazy.

  • God bless the hackers, crackers, reverse engineers, and disrupters. Pray they help keep you free of too much pain.
