- Wikipedia currently lists zlibrary24tuxziyiyfr7zd46ytefdqbqd2axkmxm4o5374ptpc52fad.onion as the Tor address on their page[1]. Does z-library have two tor addresses?
- And I'm going to reply with this (from https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=33417786):
> Terrorists cause far more physical harm than all of crypto will ever do. Do we ban Signal and Telegram repos so that we can "protect the people"?
This is a stupid summary with glaring false statements. It should be rightly ridiculed and rejected.
- I think a more accurate analogy would be that Linus is not preventing OEMs from selling computers with other operating systems cougooglegh, or coercing or forcing them into preventing users from switching to other operating systems ahmicrosoftm, or abusing their dominance in other markets to gain an absurd and unfair advantage in unrelated markets cougooglegh.
Heavens me, my cough is acting up. I wonder why. I'm glad other countries stepped up and are starting to regulate these companies since the US is obviously refusing to do so.
In all ser
- Then ban porn especially skits that depict actions that society deems deplorable like suffocation and rape, or are the pleasure centers for those also different.
> I would not assume that the reactions to simulated sexuality is the same as simulated violence.
A would not assume anything. Conduct research and draw conclusions. Don't speculate.
- > The modern thinking is that it supports and encourages a behavior that can lead to actual violence.
Hasn't this nonsense been thoroughly debunked by multiple studies at this point? I would assume evidence and "modern thinking" supports the exact opposite of what you claim, unless by modern thinking you mean the same thinking that tries to hide research they don't like.
Video games do not cause violence. End of story.
- >> We want to crush any chance of CP. If folks use it for that entire generative AI space will go radioactive and yes there are some things that can be done to make it much much harder for folks to abuse and we are working with THORN and others right now to make it a reality.
I'm absolutely certain Linux has been used to kill children. Detergent, pesticide, and even pillows too!
Tools shouldn't be limited based on what the worst way they can be used. Stable diffusion is an absolute positive for society. Even when it's used to generate CP, every image that model creates is not one that involves a real kid.
The cat is out of the bag when OpenAI announced DALLE. Stable Diffusion only accelerated it a bit. Even if Sablity or lawmakers manage to prevent or outlaw open models, criminals will continue to build their own and ignore laws.
The only thing their reluctance does is harm Stability and give their competition a chance to catch up. Perhaps that's a good thing. Maybe it's time for another organization to take the lead.
- I chose to use Firefox because I wanted to regain control over my browsing experience. I did not choose it because I wanted this crap.
- Arbitrary Add-ons on Firefox for Android when?
- Dev tools on Android when?
Note that I switched to using a Chromium-based browser on Android because it actually cared enough to supports both these things.
Mozilla, listen to your existing users (what few remain of them). You will never get the userbase you're gunning for by mimicking your competitors.
- > the backup camera doesn't work due to a frayed cable and the cable has been back ordered for 11 months now.
I would have assumed that this issue would be quickly addressed by aftermarket suppliers just like it would with any other car manufacturer. Are Tesla like Apple? (i.e abuse laws and technology to lock customers in)
Do they go after third party suppliers/parts?
- And people will get accustomed to (i.e. not take seriously) these new AI-generated images like they have with photoshopped images.
"Ethicists" act like society will somehow not adapt to this tech like they have with all the tech that came before it. I put ethicists in quotes because the arguments they use don't hold up to scrutiny and don't seem to be motivated by real ethical concerns. At least not to me.
- No, Blooomberg. The "hacker" never "stole" the money back. The feds never seized it in the first place. All they seized was an encrypted wallet.
Putting it in terms you might better understand: What the feds seized is equivalent to a foreign, chip-only banking card. They never seized the money behind it or the pin required to move that money.
- This has been Mozilla's MO for a while now. They even did it with add-ons on Firefox for Android. First they allowed add-ons. Then they took them away but promised that they will open up soon. Then the locked them down some more.
These days I don't use Firefox because I want to, but because it's the least worse choice.
I'm confident their hostile behavior towards user control is one of the reasons why they're hemorrhaging users. And no, giving users way to change UI colors not control. It's a fucking pacifier and an insult.
- I can see it now:
Microsoft: "Sorry $site_owner, We (some unaccountable ML model) detected that you have violated some rule (we will not tell you which) and as a result, your website can no longer be accessed.
This decision is final and permanent."
There are other ways to protect user privacy without conveniently putting yourself in charge. They pulled the same move with UEFI and secure boot
Microsoft needs to be investigated and fined.
- > We profoundly believe that the metaverse should be free - both free as in beer, and free as in speech.
Good.
For me the real test for VR stuff, and why I haven't bothered with current VR offerings at all, is how much freedom you really have. Most platforms I heard of so far impose weird, often ideologically/culturally-driven, restrictions on your actions and content that it just isn't worth my time. Even open source software, like Stable Diffusion, can suffer from this (yes, you can edit the code to remove filters, but most people can't and won't).
Normal people, even some seniors I talked with, are starting to notice the excessive influence and control big tech is exerting on our interactions with each other. If Third Room plays this right, and I hope they do, I believe they have a genuine shot at being the Firefox to Meta's IE before it ever becomes a thing.
Good luck to everyone involved.
- This is my main gripe with Rust. Things that should be part of the standard library are relegated to third parties, thus requiring developers to audit yet another dependency (and it's dependencies, and sub-dependencies, and sub-sub-dependencies, ...). Realistically, this just means I can't use most third-party crates, greatly limiting what I can do with Rust.
It's been a long time since I've been able to write anything in Rust despite loving the language. My last hopes for Rust are now in gcc-rs splitting the Rust ecosystem into two; the current npm-style crates.io ecosystem and a more destro-centric properly vetted package ecosystem. If this doesn't happen, I'll just continue to use other languages or limit my dependencies to those with sane package management (usually this means libraries written in C) until something better pops up.
