Same experience here. DNS server was omething like goooooooogle.com for me.

Blocking them made the devices malfunction, I believe the speakers werent fully aware of each other anymore, so speaker groups got messed up in all sorts of ways.

I use Bluesound speakers and modules now.

The question of banning “AI slop” is a bit of a loaded one. Yes all slop should be banned. But banning all AI related/engineered work is insane.

Miles are not a thing here.

My longer distance single day drives in an EV were 800-1000km.

Aa a European, this thread reads like it’s 2016.

Range is not an issue, nor is public charging. Yes, we drive long distances as well, it just happens to be cross-border. Fast chargers are nice for road trips, but destination charging is fine all other 350 days a year.

Share nonsense and periodically change it. Restrictions are a fingerprint itself.

We should start designing cities for people, not for cars. 10 miles to the store is only acceptable in rural areas.

Meta copying others as always.

I like the initiative.

But saying its like the www because it’s open and available to all, is not a good analogy. The web is standardized, federated, and aligns protocols, technology, architecture, information together.

Doesn’t matter. That company and its leadership are worrisome, with or without that trivia.

Switching from Windows 11 to Linux Mint, I expected some headaches after last using Debian 15 years ago. But it feels like home.

You may want to look into Fjallraven.

Good question.

TL;DR: Large-scale Russian cyberattack on IPTV cameras near military routes uncovered bh Dutch intelligence agencies. Germany, Frans, Finland, The Netherlands summoned the Russian ambassadors to their countries.

Edit: I will not share info on Russo-Chinese collaboration. Should anyone need sources for that claim, the my won’t be convinced anyway :-)

Don’t they report on status and outages like normal ISPs do?

Your connection to Fediverse seems to be functioning.

Wouldn’t such turbulent times be exactly when established companies are at risk as well? E.g., what electrification is doing to VW.

Although the risk for AI-first vs general big tech does depend on the root cause of the disruption.

I think it will be triggered by the massive overvaluation of many AI labs. Investors will sell. In the meanwhile, other sectors will still have to adjust to the new reality of token generators, so the wider economy is impacted.

LLMs will not disappear, just like real estate did not disappear after 2008,and the internet did not disappear after the dotcom bubble burst.

But I can imagine the end of hyperfocus on the “AGI race”.

Different Linus. Took me too long.

Yes. And TIL :-)

Do you have more info?

I would first build a cable lift, then a pipeline for concrete, then the dam.
