I switched all my domains to Porkbun. No way I’m hanging out in Squarespace land.

I use it when I’m traveling and am on insecure WiFi.

However, it doesn’t let you pick your egress location,.so if you’re trying to get to PornHub in Texas, it won’t help.

What is missing is that the podcast originally claimed it was entirely written and generated by AI. They only changed the story when they were sued.

And I don’t think any of their nude photos are appropriate for academic papers (unrelated to nudity research) either?

Yeah. The arbitration section of the agreement specifically says it only applies to US residents.

I’m more concerned that the company decided it was OK to meld the “From:” line of her email (asking for support) into her profile. If they think that’s an appropriate way to handle PII, I don’t trust them.

I hate patent trolls, but I will say “it couldn’t have happened to a nicer company”. I hope they both go broke on legal fees.

Misread that as “cat” and thought I was in for a cute satire, not a boring dystopia.

Not at all! I had to use ID.me for unemployment and it skeeved me out too.

They’re working to improve login.gov to support the level of user verification needed for this service, but it isn’t there yet. Hopefully next year when tax time rolls around again.

It should be illegal to use an AI in the hiring process that can’t explain its decisions accurately. There’s too much of a risk of bias in training data to empower a black box system. ChatGPT can lie, so anything powered by it is out.

Seems like you’re asserting that the article is sponsored content without being disclosed, in violation of FTC guidelines. Seems like a pretty serious claim that borders on libel. Do you have any proof of your allegations?

The people who make up the 2% market share using Firefox overlaps with the people tired of AI - specifically LLMs - being shoved into everything.

Mozilla just released a LLM-driven website generator a few months ago. Why are we assuming they won’t add something similar to Firefox?

If Mozilla wants to use machine learning, awesome. But how about we treat the techies who support them like adults and say “machine learning” instead of using the AI buzzword which is overloaded.

NewEgg is such a shell of its former self. They went from fighting patent trolls to platforming scammers.

I doubt most people know that country TLDs are different from vanity TLDs. I know when I look up domains, they’re usually all smooshed together and then the terms are in a giant block of ToS.

I want the creators I watch on YouTube to continue to get paid, both from YouTube and their sponsors. My contributions through premium are sliver of what they see, but if everyone stopped supporting them in that way, the total would be zero.

I back some of them on Patreon where I can, but it’s not economically feasible for me to back them all in such a way.

Yeah, as someone who gets good mileage with YouTube Premium, I wish they offered a version just for ads without music. YouTube music sucks hard, but I can’t justify paying for another music app on top of it.

The fact that Google started as a search company and yet search in their own apps sucks is boggling.

In YouTube Music, when you’re building a tuner to create a station, you can’t search at all. Instead, you get an endless scroll off bands and have to find the one you want that way. The order is random.

Like … Pandora let you do the same thing with search back in the 00’s

I agree with you, and normally like posts to just use the original headline, but in this case, it feels like the newspaper is pro-KOSA. They mention in the article hundreds of organizations support the legislation but don’t mention the hundreds that have opposed it.

Perhaps something like “Microsoft president endorses online child safety bill night before Big Tech hearing [Bill is opposed by EFF over censorship concerns]” would be a better way to handle adding context.
