Yo, dumnezero@piefed.social, this is really not cool. You're actively undermining discourse and wasting other people's time if you share this kind of auto-generated nonsense.

I’ve also found LLMs helpful as a compliment to web searching for my work (I deal with lots of public datasets from international organisations); LLM queries have helped me find sources that I missed via directed search.

Do consider that web search had been a computationally simple and more importantly solved problem that has gotten steadily more unsolved over the course of the past 25 years.

Users shouldn’t have to care about jurisdiction if the servers cannot ever read their messages in the first place. Any app that fails to meet this requirement should wholesale be disqualified.

What madness is this? Surely this is not about the servers reading a message, but about the user having or not having legal recourse against a server abusing whatever it is they can read. Metadata is data. Someone somewhere will know how much and when and in which patterns I communicate with who. And how much control I have over what they do with that knowledge simply depends on the jurisdiction. Technical considerations are irrelevant for that 🤷

Thank you, I'll check it out! It's great that they have a raw .apk download available, I don't have access to a Playstore.

I'm a user. I just want to run the software. I don't really care about the means of delivery. If it's not available via package manager, then I have to get it some other way.

Is there any solution to getting DOS games to work on Android? There seems to have been an old DOSBox version but all information I can find at a glance seem to be outdated. I feel like all the old 90s adventures would be great to run on my phone. Maybe even much earlier stuff like Zork. Or is this a fool's errand?

In addition, many titles are designed from the ground-up to be online-only; in effect, these proposals would curtail developer choice by making these video games prohibitively expensive to create.

Why even bother asking industry outlets about this? Clearly they will just keep on trying to paint the picture that they're people with rights and desires and not just replaceable entities serving at the behest of consumers, i.e. actual people.

Unfortunately, even if the Stop Killing Games movement eventually succeeds in creating some sort of policy changes, they will only apply in the EU (and potentially the UK, as well), so publishers and developers may still be able to permanently shut down games in other parts of the world.

Oh, I wouldn't worry about that. The whole world automatically benefits from regional legislation affecting global actors like international publishers. Just like the whole world benefitted from Europe enforcing GDPR compliance: Every reddit and Facebook user, not just Europeans, being able to download a data dump of their site activities isn't something that came about randomly.

Anyway why would navy even matter in this hypothtical situation? r*ssians regretfully aren’t regarded enough to attack anyone over sea.

Maybe there's some kind of misunderstanding here. What's the current non-US-based NATO naval contingent around the China Sea?

What a strange soundbite.
Surely it's not "NATO" that provides any kind of military counterbalance in the Taiwan Strait in any sense of the word? European naval forces aren't really a regional player (and arguably not any kind of player).

So I guess what Rutte is really trying to do is to publicly state "I definitely believe a Russian attack on NATO would immediately draw every US aircraft carrier into the Baltic Sea! Would suck for Taiwan, but I defnitely believe in the dependability of all alliance members!" while sweating profusely.

Good!
As in: I approve of the concept. I hold this to be an acceptable way for modern countries to undermine each other if they desperately feel the need to. Economic pressure, back-room dealings, information campaigns... all much better than having hapless 19-year olds lob grenades at each other.
Not so keen if it's only done in addition to and not as a replacement for military buildup and sabrerattling though...

Warum sagst du nicht einfach Raps?

Weil ich zum Ausdruck bringen möchte, dass ich wenig Liebe zur Agrarflächennutzung für Tierfutter- und Kraftstoffgewinnung und damit wenig Liebe zum Raps habe - bestensfalls eine Arbeitsbeschaffungsmaßnahme für Landwirte und schlimmstenfalls eine gänzlich vermeidbare Überbewirtschaftung.

Exactly, it's just a shakedown.

Man... Cloudflare's PR department has been moving mountains over the past 5 years. In my mind their brand still only barely ranks above the Khmer Rouge.

 

I'm looking to locally generate voiceovers from text and also try to generate audiobooks. Does anyone have experience with sherpa-onnx? There also appear to be two separate frontends for Kokoro specifically dedicated for audiobook creation, but they appear to both be abandoned. Or am I barking up the completely wrong tree?
Thanks!

 

Hi! While looking for an answer I stumbled upon this old reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/jellyfin/comments/107e03d/gt_710_vs_ryzen_7_3700x/

I unfortunately do not know how to interpret the information provided by nyanmisaka there.

Does "GT 710 doesn't support NVENC" mean that adding the older GPU wouldn't do anything to provide a performance boost to the server? Or only for videos encoded in a specific way? I.e. is there any point in keeping my passively-cooled GT710 in my server or should I just ditch it?

 

Now ever since I got a label printer I made it a habit to... well... label everything. It's been the a gamechanger in organizing my stuff.

This habit includes having a tiny label with my street address and mail address on most any item that I loan away or tend to regularly lug around with me as a general reminder of ownership. I forget about and lose stuff all the time, so this gives me some piece of mind with most of my medium-value little gadgets. I believe (and have experienced) that people are generally decent and will return lost stuff to me if it's easy for them to find out to whom it belongs.

Now it has occurred to me that this practice might be detrimental when applied to a smart cards in general and my Yubikeys in particular. After all, shouldn't a lost Yubikey be considered "tampered with/permanently lost" anyway, whether it's returned or not? And wouldn't an Email address on the key just increase the risk of some immediate abuse of the key's contents, i.e. GPG private keys, that would otherwise not be possible?

Or am I overhtinking this?
