In contrast, I set my nephew up with Linux Mint, and he is now slowly converting the rest of his family to open source solutions.

My understanding is that they keep having conversations about privacy news, and he keeps knowing a solution, which sometimes is Android or Linux based. So now his parents will ask me "Is it true the XY protects against YZ and is free?"

It's been a pretty cool thing to watch.

I find Garyjay helps with this, by mingling videos from other services.

Sometimes by the time I've tried one of the first videos to load from other services, the PeerTube results have loaded for me.

Yes.

At this rate, we will be having a "local files are hard for the average user" debate, here, in another decade.

Which, maybe it will be, at that point.

Oof. Hopefully a security professional will slap some sense into someone before it gets out of beta.

Imagine what she can accomplish in an echo chamber, though.

He does look like he's going to give himself a heart attack.

because you probably don't know how software is built.

Oh shit. Nevermind then.

What I'm hearing is: I can replace saying "I have a dumb little WordPress blog that no one reads" with "I host a part of the 'Deep Net'.

Sweet.

I find it bizarre that people find these obvious cases to prove the tech is worthless. Like saying cars are worthless because they can't go under water.

This reaction is because conmen are claiming that current generations of LLM technology are going to remove our need for experts and scientists.

We're not demanding submersible cars, we're just laughing about the people paying top dollar for the lastest electric car while plannig an ocean cruise.

I'm confident that there's going to be a great deal of broken... everything...built with AI "assistance" during the next decade.
