Apparently, as a competitor of any major platform you just need to get close to the features your adversary has and wait for that site/service to start the process of enshittification, let's see if reddit makes more blunders
It's seems like a reasonable choice to me, I don't understand why this is being posted on mildly infuriating, you can just make an second account if you want to go to that instance
Oh hehe, I had seen KDE connect here and there but never really tried it myself, how are you using it?? What good things does it bring to your lives? :)
As a small note, in an unexpected turn of events, that "sponsor block" extension popped up also blocking promotions, I find it incredibly amazing that blocking ads can even go that further
I can't put my finger on it, but somehow I feel like youtube is irreplaceable, I don't say this out of some internet patriotism, I just think the initial momentum of inertia really has to be massive to make it budge, while with fediverse-stuff you can gradually generate content and maybe some people will be attracted (?)
And twitter's trajectory is to fucking weird and unpredictable right now that I just have no clue πππ
Why isn't brown toilet paper more common? You can make it light-brown and cleaning your ass might be less visually aggravating, I would still prefer white personally, but I would have though that people would have optimized the colorimetry of toilet paper as it has been done with surgical robes and things that might involve blood to create a lesser visual shock
I mean, the gun emoji was changed to a water gun π€·π»ββοΈ
Mhm, I see that point, although I find it concerning given that the quality of the UX platforms like youtube has kept a consistent decline over the past decade. It feels like google keeps amassing more and more reasons for people to enable adblockers but I also understand youtube needs to be a profitable business and at some point you need to show ads
What's the advantage for google of doing this move? People "savy" enough to install an adblock (or even know that it exists) is most likely to switch to a competitor that allows for adblocking
Is gonna sound crazy, but I think you can skip the keylogger step!
You could make a "keystroke-sound-language-model" (so like a language model that combines various modalities, e.g, flamingo), then train that with self-supervised learning to match "audio" with "text", and have a system where:
You listen to your target for a day or so, let's say, 1000 words typed in π€·π»ββοΈ
Then the model could do something akin to anchor tokens in language-to-language translation, except in this case it would be more like fixing on easy words such as "the" to give away part of the sound-to-key map. Then keep running this mapping more parts of the keyboard
Eventually you try to extract passwords from your recordings and maybe bingo
I think it's very narrow to think that, just because this research case requires a keylogger, these systems couldn't evolve other time to combine other techniques
Spirited away is so good <3
