English aint Lojban, if you know what I mean.
Just a regular Joe.

Many competitive FPS games also fit this category. Play a round for 15 minutes or a few in an hour, get back to life. Games with grind are less attractive - we know it’s all just wasting time.
You need training material for negative prompts too.
Skynet sounds friendly. It needs a friendly looking logo.
When you have cloud providers growing faster than the region’s grid capacity, something has to give … throttle growth there, or plan for mega growth? I guess it helps that nuclear is green again. 😁
In some countries private law firms chase down infringers on behalf of copyright holders. They then attempt shakedowns with the threat of legal action if you don’t pay. They have a financial interest to catch people, and moral compasses vary.
Also, mistakes can happen (you, your family, guests using your wifi, in the courts, in the ISPs, in the law firms, in the tech they are using to identify people). Shit happens.
And if (when) it happens, then you would still have to deal with it, costing you time and money.
Understand the risks and make choices to minimize them if you can.
Apparmor profiles can be applied to an executable - the profile is then (if so configured) inherited by subprocesses. In my case I have a launch script to run lutris in a safe mode. It also changes the effective gid to be matched by some iptables rules (it was easier than creating a new network namespace, which is also possible). The script then checks that the Internet is inaccessible and that reading/writing to secured paths is denied before launching lutris.
Similarly I have a “safe” script to wrap other commands with an apparmor profile that stops most writes to my homedir/reads from some secure locations, which I often use to run scripts/programs from the Internet.
My sudo also requires a password (or a special keyboard combination, thanks to a custom pam configuration).
All that said and done, I’m sure I’ll be caught off guard one day.
I run a particular online windows game in a modded offline mode under Linux in network isolation and with a restricted apparmor profile. So far so good. Logs show no attempts to break out, except for the smoke test I run to ensure the sandbox is working. This is as much because of the random mods I install as the original devs (who could ban my online account).
On Windows, a VM would indeed be safer. GPU passthrough is possible … I guess easier with Windows using an onboard GPU, then passing a discrete GPU to the VM. You’ll lose some performance with a VM regardless, but it’s easy to disable networking, back up and restore from a known good state, and burn it to the ground when needed.
Your friends will find you wherever you are and will continue asking you such questions. There is no escape.
Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego and Commander Keen … wait a second, the time machine’s dial is broken.
It’s fine that it came from a private company, but the contracts with the Government must be solid, and the national security obligations 100% clear.
Judge: “lmao no, new bill is now half” for reasons that included the use of ChatGPT.
Meanwhile the prompt: Given X man-hours at $rate plus expenses of $expenses, and a padding multiplier of 4, generate a legal cost report in the format expected by the court. /s
Playing EFT is like being in an abusive relationship with Marie Kondo. If that idea rocks her boat, …
When covid had everyone working from home and avoiding social contact, I started my gaming journey with Firewatch and The Long Dark, and Factorio. All are excellent. Alien Isolation and The Forest came later.
It’s Freedom® these days. It took a little while for the application to be processed.
They will also be terminating another 5-10% of their EU userbase this month for not accepting their latest price hikes. These will mostly be the low-volume users who were too lazy to cancel.
Wait for the special offers before signing up for a plan again, folks. And explore the alternatives in the mean time… you might just discover that you don’t need them.
I only eat vegans. Would that count?
Who cares?
My company’s 9,000 CentOS machines and over 100,000 containers now mostly run Amazon Linux or Alpine. Rocky Linux was preferred by some, but we led the way and the rest followed. Our final licensed RH systems will also disappear this quarter (legacies of a DC-centric era), and we will be free of them.
It was inertia that kept us with RH, but their bad faith moves kicked us into action. We now have better security tooling and processes all around, too.
Good riddance, Red Hat (and IBM, until your next acquisition and corporate strangling)!
There is no point waiting for a response…the threat has been neutralized. Now repeat after me: There is no AGI.
If that involves stifling other’s creativity and harming society, then I’d argue no.
Realistically, it is a balancing act.
Copyright, patent and even trademark laws should promote sustainable creativity and societal progress. They try to achieve this by granting some extra (non-intrinsic) rights to creators.
That these are regularly abused to stifle competition and creativity in the name of profit is a cancer deserving treatment.
And faced with an imperfect world: If any law or its implementation feels unjust, then most people will feel morally OK with breaking it.
