Sure, but unintentionally. I heard about a guy whose small business (which is just him) recently had someone call in, furious because ChatGPT told them that he was having a sale that she couldn't find. The customer didn't believe him when he said that the promotion didn't exist. Once someone decides to leverage that, and make a sufficiently-popular AI model start giving bad information on purpose, things will escalate.

Even now, I think Elon could put a small company out of business if he wanted to, just by making Grok claim that its owner was a pedophile or something.

Yeah, I don't love that they're on a Microsoft service, but GitHub is not their worst product.

In your defense, Mozilla did have a read-only mirror on GitHub for a while. I assume it's the same repo, they've just repurposed it.

I keep getting caught off-guard seeing current photos of Torvalds. He's just like...a guy.

And honestly I'd rather my mission-critical software be written by "just a guy" than by whoever Mr. Battlestation is down there on the bottom.

I'm not the OP, but it's probably easier to get (free) community contributions on Github than on any other spot.

Or it's to make it easier to fork, in case Mozilla goes out of business.

I'm sure there were some forum software packages that offered voting and ranking and such. All of the ones that I was a part of were quiet enough that you didn't need such a thing, though; you could keep up with every post, even if only to decide that you weren't interested in it, if you read it every third day or so.

Oh geez you promise?!

  1. As noted, I don't want to give Elno any traffic.

  2. At this point, the length of this conversation is way out of proportion to my interest in it.

  3. Our relationship is three days old and has been antagonistic since the start, so I'm not taking homework from you. I don't feel the need for you to believe me. You may feel free to not.

Unfortunately I see a whole bunch of people who vis bellum, and a whole bunch of people who para pacem, but not a whole bunch of people who both vis pacem and para bellum.

I saw them with my own eyes, on his very Twitter account. They were not screenshots, they were links.

I think it was calling her modest and beautiful one too many times.

Some of the worst ones were, yes. But they were riffing on a couple of real ones that were weird enough.

 

I had 2FA enabled for lemmy.world before the big update this past weekend, and when I logged out/in this morning I discovered that 2FA had been turned off for my account. I've got it turned back on and I think it's working now, but just a heads up that if you had 2FA enabled you might need to re-enable it.

 

In the latest Messages for Android Beta, scheduled send is broken due to a date validation bug. It won't let you schedule messages after today's date number in any month. So, for instance, today's date is 29 November, 2023; it won't allow any messages to be scheduled in December unless they're scheduled on the 29th, 30th, or 31st. Also, it won't allow any messages to be scheduled in 2024, for what I assume are similar reasons.

Reverting to the latest stable version fixes it and allows messages to be scheduled for any future date.
