If it was the law then the AI itself would be coded to not allow going “undercover”, and there would be legal consequences if caught. Torvald’s stance only matters for how things ‘are’ not how they ‘could be’.

Would it be a cure all? Of course not. Fraud still happens despite the illegality. But it’s better than not being able to trust anything ever again.

Perhaps the most discussed technical detail is the “Undercover Mode.” This feature reveals that Anthropic uses Claude Code for “stealth” contributions to public open-source repositories.

The system prompt discovered in the leak explicitly warns the model: “You are operating UNDERCOVER… Your commit messages… MUST NOT contain ANY Anthropic-internal information. Do not blow your cover.”

Laws should have been put in place years ago to make it so that AI usage needs to be explicitly declared.

it was Skype previously, which is what we all used originally. The conversion was complete. My father still has a Skype icon on his phone because it now opens Teams.

Some members are too old to want to switch to something else and I need to save my energy for far more important battles.

I use Teams flatpak to communicate with family and like a week ago got a prompt “would you recommend this to others?”.

I clicked no, and for the reason “Sloppity slop slop slopitty slop” and 3 days later M$ announced they were rolling back Copilot integration in trivial apps. I felt listened to :P

Look at me. LOOK at me.

There is no such thing as “side loading”. It is installing apps you want on your phone.

With 'murican healthcare prices the fatality rate is a feature.

Just started using it. With zero xp posts an article expecting to matter.

I use Thunderbird too, and have so for years. The RSS implementation sucks. It will randomly crap out and autopause all feeds. The data often corrupts rendering the link folder useless and is very difficult to properly purge as the gui process will often fail. You’ll have to look up instructions and delete the folders manually. Very disappointing, but better than nothing.

I’ve been using open source RSS apps from Fdroid and have yet to find one that doesn’t have glaring bugs. I don’t understand why feed reading is so difficult. Probably that it supports so many forms of media but I’m just a clueless scrub that isn’t posting to blogs so what do I know.

It has a ‘run installer’ option during setup (and in that games options section afterwards)

The Fediverse (commonly shortened to fedi)[2][3][4] is a collection of social networking services that can communicate with each other (formally known as federation) using a common protocol . Users of different websites can send and receive status updates, multimedia files and other data across the network. The term Fediverse is a portmanteau of federation and universe.[5]

The majority of Fediverse platforms are based on free and open-source software , and create connections between servers using the ActivityPub protocol. Some software still supports older federation protocols as well, such as OStatus, the Diaspora protocol and Zot, while newer protocols such as AT Protocol connect via network bridges. Diaspora is the only actively developed software project classified under the original definition of Fediverse that does not support ActivityPub.[6][7]
Design

While a traditional social networking service will host all its content on servers managed by the owner of the website, the decentralized structure of the Fediverse allows any individual or organization to host a social platform using their own servers (referred to as an “instance”).

ISPs know what sites you are visiting and when…

and your name. address, credit card number. You’re 100% right, just wanted to make sure this isn’t skipped over.

Librewolf is my goto browser + vpn + ublock. If they get through that it’s my fault imo

when two particles are entangled and far apart, when we observe them they will always be in the same state?

They will be opposite states of each other the moment observing collapses their waveform. This effectively removes their entangled state. It cannot be used to communicate information faster than c.

Or a Wiki/Megathread that could contain such information.

last i tried the trackers were dogwater. Waste of time unless you’re looking for 3yo items.

Too funny. They’d need to go back to Win95 for all that.

When you say “won’t properly display” it is too vague. Just from my experience ‘not properly displaying’ can mean a solid black screen, a black screen full of RGB noise, or a display that is blurry and stripped but you can actually interact with the OS. Could you clarify this?

I’d be happier if they just fix whatever breaks click highlighting in the terminal. I hate that shit and I think it’s accidentally attempting to paste via Ctrl-V that does it so F my habitual ass.
