I have so many questions about this article. First of all, who is Gercek News? It appears to just be a website run by 2 people. The article seems to do nothing but repeat the accusations with zero investigation or corroboration. I’m going to need more evidence than just one person’s Instagram account.

For light users, $36/mo is very expensive. However, for middle and upper management types that live, breathe, and eat PowerPoint, this is huge. If this is good enough to allow non-technical people to connect to their BI and generate charts and reports without the need of IT, it will be incredibly cheap to them. There’s a whole cottage industry of consultants for small business who do these sorts of things so having this automated will save time and cost for these businesses.

As a developer, I’m still interested in seeing what CoPilot integrated in my development environment will be able to do. My company is currently paying for ChatGPT+ at $20/mo for me. At my salary, it’s a no brainer since even an hour a month is a huge ROI. However, it’s quite manual since I have to copy paste everything. If I can get ChatGPT 4 with the full context of my project, $36/mom is a no brainer. If we can get a private version that is trained on our company code base, it will be a game changer.

I can’t say this is for me. What I really need is something that will convert one flavor of regex to another. It’s really annoying to always have to look up the shortcuts and capture group syntax.

No worries, I’m sure Norton Utilities will fix it.

A few comments, they don’t need to have a Signal vulnerability, just an OS vulnerability since that would allow access to decrypted Signal messages. In the past, there have been zero click SMS and iMessage vulnerabilities. There have also been web vulnerabilities.

The attacks are not sent at scale to avoid detection. They are used on specific dissidents and journalists.

I’m shocked, SHOCKED that killing the API would lead to web scraping! That was a completely unpredictable outcome.

Come on, Python 2 only has 16 critical vulnerabilities. Live dangerously 🙃.

I’d love to know how much AMD is paying to keep DLSS out of the game.

Google today reminds me of what AltaVista became before Google. ChatGPT is amazing but now it and other LLMs are being used to generate crap content. I fear that the incestuous nature of AI training on AI may lead to “inbreeding” and all the problems that brings with it.

Thank you so much for Mlem! As a developer myself, I was blown away by how good mlem was for version 0.0.1. I would hope that in the spirit of federated communities and open source software that people would be understanding of the time constraints and challenges of working on a personal project for the benefit of everyone. I’m truly saddened that a small minority of selfish users soured an otherwise great start to a sorely needed app. I am looking forward to your future projects and hope that this and other thank you messages show how much we appreciate you and what you selflessly gave to us.

If users could block entire instances, I think this would go a long way towards solving the problem. Personally, I’m not for defederating unless the content is illegal in the US where the SDF instance is located.

I’m impressed they spent the time and money to make a new 2600 game. I’ve watched a few interviews of the original game developers in the 80’s and the development experience was far from what modern software development is today. A developer had to make sure the game and graphics logic were done in a specific number of cycles and everything is written in 6502 assembly.
