Yep, I was more thinking about the first step of unlocking a phone, which I believe you can set to just be a Yubikey, rather than having a password and key combination.

“Something you have plus something you know.”

But I wouldn’t rely upon a Yubikey, simply because I would be worried border agents would take it indefinitely.

This is not an example of leopards eating someone’s face. Unless those projects threw their support behind Trump’s admin, and I have no reason to believe they did, this is simply falling victim to fascist idiots.

Having a Yubikey isn’t supposed to be a secret. Security through obfuscation is poor security.

It wouldn’t be much of a secret anyway, since your device would say something like, “Please present your hardware key,” when logging in. If OP had a Yubikey with them, ICE could simply search them and use it themselves.

Yubikeys are excellent against digital attacks but not physical ones, since it’s akin to carrying a lock and key together.

Kinda skeptical myself. For anyone unaware, they tried to make an Aptera model several years ago before all the trade fuckery, and despite making waves and turning heads, they eventually had to call it quits due to lack of funding.

I hope they succeed this time, now that people want EVs, but my expectations of success are low.

Cool, sounds like exactly the sort of person that would be unhappy on the Fediverse, complain all the time how it “lacks N feature” they want, expect the entire experience to be free and never donate to their instance admin, and just be a general wet blanket.

And so, I won’t be sad that they likely never join the Fediverse, and the Fediverse will continue to gradually grow into the healthy, decentralized service it has been for the last several years without them.

“They are using fake science and unsubstantiated claims to not take our products,” Rollins said, adding that it’s not just about high tariffs, but also how American food products are treated overseas.

“Oh sorry, we can’t take your beef since 2002 because you use a certain type of feed. That’s just absolute bull.”

Oh, boo hoo. Maybe try having better standards and regulations, you fucking cultist. You could entice potential buyers with products they want instead of acting like they owe you their trade.

For clarity, I am American.

Not going to read most of this paper, because it reads like a freshman thesis, and it fundamentally oversells or misunderstands the existing limits on AI.

In closing, I consider the limits to these limits as AI gradually, but relentlessly, becomes ever-more capable.

The AI technofacists building these systems have explicitly said they’ve hit a wall. They’re having to invest in their own power plants just to run these models. They have scores of racks of GPUs, so they’re dependent upon the silicon market. AI isn’t becoming “ever more capable,” it’s merely pushing the limits of what they have left.

And all the while, these projects are still propped up almost entirely by venture capital. They’re an answer to a problem nobody is having.

Put another way, if the leaders of the AI companies are right in their predictions, and we do build AGI in the short- to medium-term, will these limits be able to withstand such remarkable progress?

Again, the leaders are doing their damnedest to convince investors that this stuff will pay off one day. The reality is that they have yet to do anything close to that, and investors are going to get tired of pumping money into something that doesn’t return on that investment.

AI is not some panacea that will magically make ultracapitalists more wealthy, and the sooner they realize that, the sooner we can all move on—like we did with the Metaverse and blockchain.

We’re focused on pop-up mealshares, so it would mostly be supplies to help with that, but we also give out toiletries and outdoor living supplies.

Yeah, charity work is classic overconsumption. /s

Remember, when you aim to misbehave, black bloc is your friend.

Neat. That’s way more interesting than the pop science hype pieces.

“Liberal” is not a useful word, imo. It means different things to different people. Hexbear users define it in the sense of neoliberalism, a historically right position. To many it means “progressive.” To others, it means “somewhere on the left, and I don’t care to put myself into a particular box.”

If we’d quit shitting on people who call themselves “liberal,” we might actually have a more cohesive coalition, rather than rejecting anyone for the tiniest perceived infraction, real or imagined.

Can’t have all those qbits driving on the highways for free! /s

Maybe we just don’t like AI, and billionaire fuckwads just need to suck it up and move on, like how Zuck bet the farm that the Metaverse was going to be the next hot thing and now has to pretend he didn’t spend gobs of money on it.

But no, it’s the cancel-culture mob. 😂 JFC, what a take.

I liked that one. I’m supremely doubtful he’s correct, but I don’t think his directorial prowess has anything to do with it.

Oh! That’s cool. I was reading the eligibility, and it sounded like non-EU citizens weren’t the group they wanted to hear from.

Thanks, I’ll put my thoughts together

I understand that, but what they do with user data is governed by their Privacy Policy, which again, is unchanged. The ads they buy are the same Sponsored ones that show up on blank tabs—the ones that have been there since before they made that change.

They made the change to the ToS, because a California law expanded the definition of “sale/sell” beyond what most people understand the word to mean. There’s enough vaguery in the wording of the law that the way Firefox works, it could land Mozilla in hot water the way the ToS were worded. It’s stupid, Mozilla did probably the worst job possible communicating why they were making the change, and the internet freaked out.

I’m not saying you shouldn’t leave. That’s up to you. I’ve been running LibreWolf since then, because a company that has $37M in investments and pays their CEO $8M should have the means to have a decent marketing team, one that could warn them it would be stupid to abruptly cut out a section on selling user data. However, it’s simply not true that they’ve suddenly joined ranks with the likes of Google.

Again, do what you want, but I hope people do it because they’ve been informed about the facts, not because the internet brought out the pitchforks again.

Wish I was eligible to offer my thoughts, because as someone living through this waking nightmare, I have a few.

Good luck, friends from across the pond!

It’s what I have done. They’ll work slower, but you’ll get a sense of what they can do, how hard it is to do things, etc.

When you’re ready, I think all but Bazzite have Live ISO options, so you can see what it’s like on bare metal. When you’re satisfied, install your favorite!

Sounds like SFF reasoning to me!
