That’s when I knew we lost. When power hungry moderators felt threatened and, instead of standing in solidarity with its users, caved to corporate demands.

“But we’ll be able to still protest. Every Tuesday.”

Hell are those protests still going on? I highly doubt it.

I have a house and a pretty sizable retirement account.

I will GLADLY take a lower home value, higher taxes on my retirement, higher taxes in general, so long as the ultra wealthy are also taxed accordingly.

I’ve been saying this for almost a year. Not open AI specifically but any company with a board of directors.

They aren’t considering the shareholder value of their most expensive liability: the CEO.

He (because let’s face it. It’s going to be a he in most cases) is paid millions of dollars with a golden parachute. Literally money that could be given back to shareholders through dividends.

The fact that Boards of Directors aren’t doing this could be evidence that they aren’t looking out for shareholders’ interests

Fwiw they aren’t really asking about the motorcycle. I mean they are but they are washing your mouse movements and how fast you click through the images. It’s okay to get a few images wrong.

If they raise the price, then they only get money once. If they sell your data, now they have an income stream.

Of course not! We employees of Fortune 500 companies use Google Sheets to manage critical data.

It’s in the cloud, that’s how you know it’s good.

(I’m not even joking…our VP said this)

My very cursory glance at the paper is that basically they are encrypting live calls. Basically they are doing what zoom has been doing since the pandemic.

I wonder if these services are on small cloud providers. If so then they can just block their entire CIDR.

I wonder if they were to move to GPC if they would have better luck.

For a brief moment in history, they sure created a lot of shareholder value.

Their convoluted salary and options package was one of the driving reasons why I declined a job there.

When you look at the value proposition purely from a capitalistic standpoint, I get why scammers and black hats exist. I just wish they could point their weapons toward the 1% and pull something similar to a Mr. Robot and redistribute their wealth.

Fwiw there are a large number of people who volunteer their time and effort toward worthwhile projects. It’s just they don’t get rewarded anywhere near the level of benefit that they provide.

These are fucking kids. They are still learning what devices do and what their appropriate use is. If they are like me, they have probably already found ways to watch porn, monitor their crush’s computer, read their email, and get into their webcam.

It’s not lack of education.

It’s lack of impulse control.

Creative Commons-BY-NC would be better.

These are people writing laws about technology. They are absolute idiots.

Differentiators? The idea behind the tor browser specifically is to make it harder to fingerprint you by giving trackers the exact same information for each browser session across all its users, making it harder to differentiate between one user and another.

It might depend on the VPN provider. If it’s someone like Google, no way.

But Mullivad that has a proven track record of not keeping logs, that might be worth it.

I’ve also heard tor over i2p but don’t know enough about the latter to have an opinion

The government is cagey about how, exactly, this criminal activity was unearthed, noting only that Herrera “tried to access a link containing apparent CSAM.” Presumably, this “apparent” CSAM was a government honeypot file or web-based redirect that logged the IP address and any other relevant information of anyone who clicked on it.

It looks like a combination of bad opsec and clicking on a download link.

I know there has been some back and forth whether it’s good to use a VPN with tor and feel like this is just going to open up that conversation again.

Have you tried listening to them at 1.5 or 2x speed?

Much easier to listen to.

They did a blog post about how the feds had made a second attempt to get metadata from them and they could only provide two fields of information: the date the account was created and the last time it connected to the service.

It’s in the public record as well if I’m not mistaken.
