@openrightsgroup it shouldn't necessarily require handing over sensitive data to demonstrate being over 16. For example if I have had a Gmail account for over 20 years then Real Intelligence, rather than the Artificial type which wants proof like an upload of a birth certificate or passport, will deduce that I am over 16
@liw @babble_endanger @suihkulokki @PhineasX perhaps Debian offers Deliverance from being locked in to proprietary software 😀
@yassie_j unfortunately I find Harry Harrison's War with the robots is probably closer to the way things will turn out.
Mx. Eddie RGeorge Clooney is an actor.
Put him in the role of a surgeon in front of a camera, and he will do and say things the average non-surgeon viewer will agree are surgeonish. After an hour of that, we are, as average non-surgeon viewers, satisfied and entertained.
Put him in an operating theatre, and the patient will fucking die because he's not a surgeon and knows nothing about really doing surgery.
This is a post about LLMs.
I sign up to mailing lists and accounts with 'plus' addresses, except when disallowed, when I create aliases with a minus sign. Was interested to see two fail2ban postfix-sasl failures, close in time, but completely different sources for the same 'user', who only exists as a mail address. Suspect the attack sources are part of the same group,. Looking at logs for development of secinfo-xmpp, where if a system is attacked rest of group blocks

* Power plugs mostly solid, have internal, changeable fuse, so plug density lower. Techy friends have similar mess of extensions , but theirs take up far less space.
* Due to the shuttering mechanism in the socket, some can become almost impossible to insert or worse remove if they have been in place for decades.
* Switched sockets are good, though the switches can be a failure point.
* My aunt, in her late 90's switches gadgets on/off with her walking stick!
* Friends ditto

@liw I have lived in the UK all my life, but we stay with friends in Europe, so see real as opposed to hotel electrics.
* Access to good fish and chips makes us aware that there are also many places with disappointing fish and chips
* Railway ticketing is almost incomprehensible, even to Brits, public transport integration is almost non-existent, timetables semi-fictional. Dutch friend directions from outer Haarlem, bus, train to Gronigen 5 min gaps, worked perfectly.

If you love freedom but don’t care if it applies to everyone, what you actually love is privilege.
