#Linux lets me do 95% of what I want on a computer, and I'm happy with that. #Windows lets me do everything, except make it better, so I prefer Linux. Unfortunately, it is that 5% that forces me to keep Windows on one of my computer's drives.
I had to log into Windows just so that I could use #Logitech G Hub to change my mouse's settings, thus ending my two-month streak. Wine just isn't fully there yet. Don't worry, I'm still sticking to #Fedora.
The AI Iceberg: Understanding ChatGPT
Analogies are useful for understanding complex ideas, and there are plenty of complexities for educators trying to wrap their heads around ChatGPT. In this post, I’ll try to explain some of the features of the chatbot and the model it’s built on top of. I'm deliberately avoiding any kind of analogy that represents the AI as magical, mythical, human, or godlike - we've seen enough of them. I’m not claiming that this analogy is watertight or that there is no better way to conceptualise […]https://leonfurze.com/2023/05/18/the-ai-iceberg-understanding-chatgpt/
Opt out of global #data #surveillance programs

Opt out of global data surveillance programs like PRISM, XKeyscore and Tempora. Help make mass surveillance of entire populations uneconomical! We all have a right to privacy, which you can exercise today by encrypting your communications and ending your reliance on proprietary services.
@andreaskemper Klingt voll nach Verschwörungserzählungen, was da so WIRKLICH abgeht im Hintergrund... Aber das sind ja reale, materielle und ideologische, gar nichtmal so arg verheimlichte Zusammenhänge.

@signalapp those attacks.would've not.been successful if you weren't a #proprietary, #centralized, #SingleVendor / #SingleProvider "solution" that doesn't do #SelfCustoy of all the.keys nor allows for #SelfHosting nor demands #PII like #PhoneNumbers that can be leveraged for that.
Can't #phish if one doesn't have credentials for #phishing attacks ffs!
Also which #Government is that incompetent to not be able to setup their own comms?
The thing that I love about the #FOSS movement is the attitude of developing free options to nonfree and closed software and answering niche demands "just because we can". The goal of freedom aside, it also really gives businesses a run for their money, forcing them to innovate.
@NetscapeNavigator yes and no.
As for the rest, it's lazyness, #TechIlliteracy and/or #inaccessinility of alternatives stopping them!
From Windows hiccupdates to Google's impending iPhony-fication of Android (see https://developer.android.com/developer-verification), if there is a silver lining to all that corporate slipping and tripping, it's that they are making free software cool again.

@salixlucida Users need to mass-uninstall #Discord RIGHT NOW. The corporation has proven they are willing to backstab users. Why should anyone believe it won’t happen again?
By using Discord, you’re not just risking your own safety but also the safety of your friends.
Discord should be treated as #spyware. ESPECIALLY for #US-based users.
It's sadly not surprising, such backstabbings are common with #proprietary software.
