Yeah, that only works for people who are brainwashed to follow whatever the current regime is pushing regardless of how much it hurts them personally, but especially if it doesn't hurt them directly in the very short term.

Wish that was possible. Unfortunately, at least in the US, most industries are consolidated into a small handful of giant corporations with tons of money so unions, much less co-ops, are impossible. I mean, even Ben and Jerry with all their money weren't able to hold off the hostile takeover of their company and slow transitioning into a crappy, overpriced product. So sad about that one since it was one of the last remaining grocery store icecream brands that didn't fall prey to shrinkflation of smaller "pints" and whipping.
It could totally be used effectively if and only if they do the work to train the LLM on only very specific content. But since they think the LLM shouldn't require people to train it, and seem to believe that more content is better no matter what, this will never happen.
But of course the other issue is that either way, the LLM will still be biased based on the content provided to it for training data. If it's trained with religious content included, or some other set of content that some group believes is "wholesome" or "kid friendly", it might still end up saying some pretty messed up stuff. Like if religious content is used, telling very young girls they are property owned by men (their fathers or husbands) and need to give their body freely to them, maybe not directly, but it will be implied in much of the advice it would give since that is a pretty deeply seeded belief in most current monotheistic religions and implied in many of the texts, even if it's no longer openly practiced or legal in mainstream western societies.
If they wanted to pretend it's about adding value then having a percentage pricing doesn't exactly support that. If they were actually adding value, then people would be willing to spend more and artists could charge more and the existing percentages would mean more income. Increasing percentages means the are providing less value and need to increase their cut of that decreased revenue to continue to increase profit margins.
My Meta account got locked without explanation and support couldnt tell me why, but suspiciously right after they implemented their new policies allowing hate speech but also I had deleted all of my posts going back to 2006 not long before that and had only been using it fir groups, so it wasn't as big of an impact so wasn't worth suing them to find out why I was locked out exactly or to start a new account.
GrapheneOS is great, but this move by Google may make it difficult for Graphene to continue to offer major updates. Only time will tell. But for the short term it's a great option.
It's AI generated slop. Creating a product that checks all the boxes that people want without any basis in reality. There was obviously no engineer involved and the mockup images are obviously a mashup of existing products just made gold and with different text on it. I mean just look at the fingerprint scanner. There's no border between it and the screen like say an iPhone 6 had, but if it's a fingerprint scanner behind the screen, why is it showing? And either way, why is the color not smooth inside the circle but is outside and it's obviously not a pixilation issue of the current image. It's because the source images were either pixelated or multiple mixed together and ended up not getting the gold color applied the same to each source image.
Not really. It's not a real time message and there will be no status or read notification or any other realtime feedback that I would call a chat app. It can't be realtime because the messages have to be split into chunks and those chunks are sent at regular intervals not all at once. The idea is that it there will be a constant flow of messages going to the news organization and only some of the will contain chunks of actual messages. And if the chunks are configured to be small and/or the frequency of messages is low, then if the message is large it could take a while for the full message to be transmitted. It's closer to an encrypted email system than to a chat system TBH.
This is a significantly different use case than a secure chat application that most in these comments are discussing. This system is more interesting for the obfuscation of the data, not the secure communication itself which is just x25519 public key encrypted messages. It's the fact that intercepting the relevant messages from actual whistleblowers and informants is made very difficult. It's not a chat application.
I've decided not to invest in any more Pixels, personally. Even if they reverse the decision this time, it just means it will happen later, so then future versions of the OS will be out of reach or at least not as good as they could have been. I probably will keep my Pixel 7 Pro with Graphene until the battery is too bad for daily use.
Battery circuits come on enough to be a load that needs to be considered and will show up if you measure load on the device vs load consumed by the components connected to the power supply. In terms of low power devices, it is significant, though not the primary concern. But compared to the pi PSU, the charger not to mention the battery and internal PSU of a laptop, consume way more power and produce way more heat.
All of the rest assumes needing always on, heavy load processing which isn't what the post I replied to was talking about. I was specifically replying to idle power load. And in my case, even with a bunch of self hosted applications, most of the time my servers are idling. If I was running a virtualization farm or something that was always under heavy load, then yes, as I mentioned, a single board server isn't ideal.
As for disks, I don't use SSDs on my pis except one that actually does a lot of local data processing. Everything else runs in memory and stores persistent data on my NAS, including logging. Virtual memory/swap is disabled on all and things that need temporary storage/cache of small amounts of data is cached on RAM disks where applications can't be configured to not use disk caching. The only need for the SD card is for boot and some minimal IO needed for local OS operation. I have a Raspberry Pi 3 B i got about 8 or 9 years or so ago with the same SD card in it.
They aren't what I use as a database server, obviously, but they are extremely low power compared to what an old laptop would need and work great for things like pihole, and other network applications as well as being a part if my home kubernetes cluster and run the majority of the cluster's processes on demand.
They'll never understand, or never admit yo understanding, that if you put a door in a wall, everyone will exploit it. Just think of how city defense worked before flight. Every invader would go after the gate and it was much, much easier to penetrate than the rest of the wall. But in this case that gate will be totally unguarded, so anyone who figures out how to open it, will open it for everyone. And will make tools for others to use to unlock and open it easily and it will be very difficult to change it if it's the same gate with the same key used by everyone. Imagine if door locks were all the same. No one would bother locking their doors if it was that easy to unlock instantly. And that's what the real goal is. To make people stop using security.
