fizzle

I guess you’re right about 2fa seeds, but I do wonder why the play store isn’t awash with dodgy 2fa seed generators. I’m not naive enough to believe that everything from the play store is “secure” but do they do some kind of rudimentary screening?

Tricky.

I absolutely believe that all software paid for by public funds should be open source.

That said, they’re not going to open source software which they commissioned without that requirement.

I disagree.

Its just a 2fa code generator? Or have I misunderstood.

Of course it’s fine to not want one, but I think there’s definitely a market for them in the home.

However, I think the “infinite demand” angle comes from industrial applications.

Evolution gave us a humanoid format because it’s the most functional. A roomba is the perfect format for cleaning the floor in your home, but a humanoid can collect ore out of the ground, build an oil rig, abduct humans, fight wars, all the things.

If productivity can be measured in gross domestic produce, then I guess the thinking is that humanoid robots will increase that, and if one human can supervise more than one bot then the math kinda points to infinite demand.

However, like most recent technological advances, I suspect that the beneficiaries of this tech will be few, and it will generally be us actual humans that will bear the cost. Imagine an army of canners stripping your country of rare earths to make batteries and whatever for more canners at the behest of a few billionaires.

Waiting for a working product is for losers… I guess?

Seriously though, I heard a sound bite of Musk talking about this. He perceives that there is unlimited demand for humanoid robots.

That being the case, you really want facilities ready to produce these canners the moment they’re invented.

Between now and the point at which they become viable, it’s just going to be idiots buying a google nest or alexa service with legs, basically.

I can see how it could kinda make sense if you’re a capitalist pig that has infinite money.

No, you’re thinking of clockwise vs counter clockwise.

As the shell spirals around itself, it does not create a flat disk. Rather, it creates a cone shape.

If Jeremy was pointed North, the point of his cone would point to the west, while most other snails would point east.

You can see it in the photo on this post.

I think they mean, the ycombinator post. It’s linked in the post here on lemmy:

I think basically what’s happened is that someone stumbled into the DDG url with AI turned off (https://noai.duckduckgo.com/), seen the thing that says “we’ve turned off AI answers” and misunderstood whats happened.

The article lists the policy settings as only part of the picture, amongst economic and demographic shifts.

seriously, all those who just let them speak their mind or form a party, or invite them onto their shows or choosing to up engagement are making a choice to legitimatimise them. Giving them a platform to “provide a different opinion” is a choice

Yes but as I said, society is not going to make the right choice.

Yeah I think with the current legislation emerging they’re really forced to make a big song and dance about disbanding. However, once the legislation is inked they will no doubt re-form in whatever way they need to avoid being criminalised.

WDYM legitimising them is a choice?

In the minds of idiots, of which we have many, forming a political party means they have serious well constructed ideas. You might like weetbix and vote labor, I might like fruit loops and vote NSN.

It also gives them a platform. Journalists will consult them for comment because they drive engagement. Before you know it someone will have a regular spot on a Sky News panel.

Legitimising them may technically be a choice, but I have no faith that we as a society would make the correct choice.

I think this is correct - they will scuttle away to whatever holes they can find.

I agree is that it’s nice for them to be easily identifiable, but it does lend them credibility which is problematic. Like these guys were going to form a political party. I don’t really want them to be legitimised in that way - as though their opinions might be unpopular but it’s just one of many ideologies.

Making your own cheese is fine. Making commercial quantities is problematic. Mostly related to hygiene, but also quiet enjoyment of neighbours.

This is one of those “if everybody did that” rules. Sure, it’s irksome to be told what you can or can not do in the privacy of your own home. However, if everybody set up a cottage industry in their back yard it would cause obvious problems.

If a neighbor complained, there’s a good chance there were odors or pests or whatever. Case in point really.

Nix. You dont need NixOS, you can just use nix as a package manager on top of whatever you have.

It has the benefits of containerisation, but a vast repo including things you’d usually run in docker containers, and CLI apps and tools, and large GUI projects as well.

All the numbers in that article seem pretty meaningless to me.

"Most people are not stupid enough to complain about putin. Some people want the war to end.

I’m not a windows user and haven’t used jackett.

This is the relevant issue on github: https://github.com/Jackett/Jackett/issues/16352

The TLDR is, it’s a false positive.

The change they think triggered it is that there’s an “if” statement to detect the operating system and if so it moves some files.

They’ve submitted the file to some antivirus vendors so they can improve their false positive detection system. I wouldn’t expect a result on that front but who knows.

Nothing is a surety in life but:

• there’s a lot of transparency around this issue
• lots of people have reviewed the code regarding this specific issue
• it’s a long standing project with good community support and no recent shady changes to maintainers
• false positives do happen

You need to make your own decision but IMO, “very low” risk.

Wait, we have a conservative community on lemmy?!

Only if you think of the mound of paste as the thing you’re measuring. If you’re measuring pieces of garlic obviously it’s much higher.

Alternatively, just spread the paste really thin.

One failure in the 1996 National Firearms Agreement was that it allowed membership of a target shooting gun club to be a valid reason for obtaining a gun licence. This was a serious mistake. Gun clubs were immediately flooded with applications for new members, and the membership fees have helped to support shooters’ parties in state parliaments and to fund gun lobby groups who have a vested interest in weakening gun laws and promoting the sales of more guns and ammunition.

I dont really think this is a fair assessment.

Yes its a concession that allowed some people to have some weapons, but in exchange they had to be connected to a club.

Its easy to forget that at the time, while these laws had a lot of support, there was still a very strong opposition. A significant portion of the population felt the way Americans would - that their rights were being taken away and that it was authoritarian over reach.

Maybe things have changed now, and maybe its time to dial up regulation of gun clubs, but in 1996 the govt of the time did what they could with that legislation.
