Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•In the latest Windows 11 preview build, Microsoft removed the “bypassnro” command, which let users skip signing into a Microsoft Account when installing Windows.English0·1 month agoI feel like this won’t stop anyone who was already refusing to use a Microsoft account for windows. Anyone who was already bypassing the account requirement will still do so, it just will be more difficult. They’ve accomplished nothing except further pissing off some of their most competent user base.
Linux too, at least in most applications I’ve tried. Some will ask you when you ctrl+shift+v if you want to paste formatted or unformatted text.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•All 50 States Have Now Introduced Right to Repair LegislationEnglish0·2 months agoHaha that explains where you got the number from, but still have no idea how you remember it. I suppose they do provide a helpful jingle.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•All 50 States Have Now Introduced Right to Repair LegislationEnglish0·2 months agoHow did you come up with that username?
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•All 50 States Have Now Introduced Right to Repair LegislationEnglish0·2 months agoThis is also nice because every state doesn’t have to pass this kind of law for it to help everyone else. Companies are often willing to have california specific models of their products to comply with California specific laws, but if enough states have right to repair laws it will hopefully be easier for companies to just have all their products be compliant.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Proton's very biased article on DeepseekEnglish0·3 months agoI haven’t looked into Deepseek specifically so I could be mistaken, but a lot of times when a model is called “open-source” it really is just open weights. You can download it or train other models off of it, but you can’t actually view any kind of source code on how the model works.
An audit isn’t really possible.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•Trump’s Greenland Obsession May Be About Extracting Metals for Tech BillionairesEnglish0·3 months agoI have a strong suspicion that Trump is wanting to do things during his presidency to ensure he has a “legacy”. He wants to have some big accomplishments that will make him standout more than some of the other presidents. Things like starting Space Force, wanting to add new states/territories/etc, I think it’s all about wanting a bigger legacy.
The people doing the revival have been working to keep the original pebbles working for years now. I think they’re really passionate about the watch, and that gives me hope for the revival.
The former pebble employees at Google worked hard to get the OS open source, so I think it’s fair to assume they were hoping for this outcome. And the repebble team (who are the ones"bringing it back") have been working on providing support and keeping the original pebble watches going for years now.
Because it gets a negative response? Regardless of whether they think it has a valid place as an art form, if they know it will get a negative response they probably won’t want to share it.
I think that will be increasingly impossible to enforce, as AI art gets increasingly better.
Also, if someone finds some cool art online how are they to know if AI was used or not?
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•The U.S. just pledged hundreds of billions to protect its AI leadership. A Chinese startup with a ‘joke of a budget‘ may have already undercut those hopesEnglish0·3 months agoI’ve been running the llama based and qwen based local versions, and they will talk openly about tiananmen square. I haven’t tried all the other versions available.
The article you linked starts by talking about their online hosted version, which is censored. They later say that the local models are also somewhat censored, but I haven’t experienced that at all. My experience is that the local models don’t have any CCP-specific censorship (they still won’t talk about how to build a bomb/etc, but no issues with 1989/Tiananmen/Winnie the Pooh/Taiwan/etc).
Edit: so I reran the “what happened in 1989” prompt a few times in the llama model, and it actually did refuse to talk on it once, just saying it was sensitive. It seemed like if I asked any other questions before that prompt it would always answer, but if that was the very first prompt in a conversation it would sometimes refuse. The longer a conversation had been going before I asked, the more explicit the bot is about how many people were killed and details like that. Pretty strange.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•The U.S. just pledged hundreds of billions to protect its AI leadership. A Chinese startup with a ‘joke of a budget‘ may have already undercut those hopesEnglish0·3 months agoChina has a huge advantage in AI models because of how lax they are on intellectual property rights. US companies are fighting over API licensing costs, while china is just going to scrape everything and use it for free.
The US has a lead now, but I don’t think they can maintain it without giving up on ethical training. Then again it may not matter if the US models are ethical if everyone will eventually just uses the superior unethically trained chinese models instead.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Technology@lemmy.world•The U.S. just pledged hundreds of billions to protect its AI leadership. A Chinese startup with a ‘joke of a budget‘ may have already undercut those hopesEnglish0·3 months agoIf you run it locally, there’s no filtering on the outputs. I asked it what happened in 1989 and it jumped straight into explaining the Tiananmen Square Massacre.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Wish I could charge $100 a call attempt to these peopleEnglish0·3 months agoI wear a bone conductive headset a lot of the time, and I have it set to read out calls or important messages to me. Smartwatches have a similar use, but goal is to not miss a call while also having the phone on silent.
Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Linux@lemmy.ml•What are common tools on Linux to wipe an HDD pre RMA?English0·3 months agoYeah my first thought was just keep running dd commands, and sooner or later you’ll have the hdd wiped.

Fubarberry@sopuli.xyzto Memes@lemmy.ml•Mark Twain - Travel is fatal to prejudice.English1·3 months agoMay not work in all cases, seems like everyone that goes to egypt to see the pyramids comes back hating egyptians.
I’ve seen discussions where the topic was something like “Where did you travel to that you would never go back to again”, and the responses there heavily implied that travel can inspire racism.
Probably comparing her acting in the new Snow White movie to Tommy’s acting.
