Well, you might be able to do it. But you might not want to be holding it in YOUR hand when you turn it on. :P

The problem is, this assumes that even if the kind of AI creators that are scraping relentlessly (and there’s a fair few that do) took this data source directly, that they’d then put an exception in their scrapers to avoid wikipedia’s site. I doubt they would bother.

Not really, an almost infinite number of non-shakespeare monkeys came before him and also didn’t happen to write the entire works of shakespeare.

There are quite a few April Fool RFCs, but this one is definitely one of my favourites. This one and RFC 1149 (A Standard for the Transmission of IP Datagrams on Avian Carriers).

In the year twenty-five, twenty-five, twenty-five.

Although this year might feel like it has 25 months actually.

As an outsider looking in, everything this regime does is testing the waters to see if they can get away with that, and if so how much further can they push it.

If someone doesn’t actually take real action to stop it soon, it may become unstoppable.

No! It’s Eastasia. I mean smartphones!

Seems to me that while companies are bullshitting calling generic algorithms AI, it’s fine for the potentially employed to do the same.

And don’t get me started on “legitimate interest” cookies. Legitimate to whom?

Pretty much wanted to say similar. Ip address isn’t known beyond your local instance (and any retention time and purposes should be stated in their privacy policy).

The rest is standard data any federation app will collect upon seeing content from a user.

It’s also worth noting that in general the user URL (which provides this user data) is generally also public. So if you know the user url you can get this too.

Having said that, I do wonder how much they can monetize third party data about people that have not agreed to their privacy policy that grants such uses. It’ll be interesting to see.

Well it’s not all of Europe. But given this is now well known, if the rest of Europe continue to buy the LNG from these countries you need to count them as complicit. They need to be blacklisted by the EU and other states that are currently sanctioning Russia.

Belgium and France are particularly a bad show here in my opinion considering they’re where EU parliamentary business takes place.

I’m not using lemmy. But I was thinking of making a process to periodically scan the object storage and check for a reference to a post, comment etc and if none are found delete it. In most cases the images are deleted but sometimes they don’t seem to be.

Probably lemmy could have a similar process created.

I remember 2.2 to 2.4 and to 2.6. Quite a lot of networking changes there and I wonder if lot of the complaints were people annoyed they needed to change firewall configurations and the like.

If I recall right 2.2 had ipfwadm, 2.4 had ipchains and 2.6 introduced iptables we’re familiar with now. That was mildly annoying for me and I was a young geeky oik with plenty of time on my hands. It’d probably annoy me a lot more now.

That’s odd in a purely programming way of thinking I’d have assumed it’d be easier to port from 6502 to Z80 since Z80 has a lot of instructions that have no direct equivalent and more registers. So porting from 6502 in a lazy way would in theory be easier (while netting a terrible result most likely) than the other way.

I cut my teeth on assembly programming on a Spectrum +3. I always thought the Z80s registers and extra instructions made things so much easier.

I stand corrected. I do know that the c64 almost always got the grade A treatment. I was always jealous of friends with one of those.

I’m going to bet the colours on the spectrum were a result of porting from the c64 version.

I reckon they ported from c64 to cpc. Got the colour as close as they could. Then ported cpc to Spectrum and did the same. The result being the yellow colour.

Generally most 8 bit bigger games were ported like this and the spectrum was always the loser in the game. Graphically the spectrum was always challenged. But there were some games that were done properly and looked good (I’m thinking of the dizzy games as an example).

On one hand, yes. But, at the same time I think this is why we’re seeing an influx of cheap SSDs onto the market.

Just like the early LED bulbs generally last a long time, but modern ones are created more cheaply and overloaded such that they don’t last so long.

I wonder if the latest very cheap SSDs will have anything like the kind of longevity older drives do.

This is generally what I say about news reporting on any technical topic. Just look at any report on a subject you understand, realise how much they get wrong. Now, assume the same level of accuracy on a subject you don’t understand.

You need to wake up earlier in the morning to catch me! :P

Nice try Mr Manager! I’m not falling for that! Nice effort though, making an account on the threadiverse just to catch me out!

I of course totally work every hour of those 40 hours a week… .
