Fig. 1 gives an example of a conversation where the user goes from 100% belief down to 40% after getting their questions explained by the AI.

Looking at the conclusions, the impact is not so big for all the interactions.

Anyway, this is a great tool. Sure, when people are doomscrolling 24/7 they’re not fact-checking. So, the intervention might not be there. Yet, I choose to remain optimistic. More recent generations might get easier access and be better than our current trend :)

Mullvad is trustworthy (imho, and because of audits).

Anyway, you can have both, and run purple i2p with blackjack and torrents!

The closest would be a folder, synchronized between phone and computer (e.g. using syncthing) where you save the torrent files. Then the client scans and automatically adds torrents from there. It will remove such files, so while at it, you should also configure to save completed torrent files somewhere. When possible, torrent files are a better option (they bring metadata, required if you ever wanted to re-share some content).

They were cutting files in smaller parts and spreading over multiple locations and countries. At least that was the claim in the early days, so anything illegal would require lawyers on many jurisdictions sending the same letter (e.g. DMCA takedown)

Ironically, it did work but now that Durov is in jail channel admins would do good to take precautions.

It's okay to be proud of your actions but that's different to robbing the value of other people effort.

You might be Messi and the other guy is Di Maria. The greatest football team of all time needed both :)

P.s. yeah, the example is not crystal clear but it sounded funny to me, so..

But terrible handling of metadata. Which is the case for all chat apps AFAIK. Like, even with OMEMO, who talks with whom, and when, can be exposed. Which sometimes is enough to get legal issues (e.g. Ola Bini's case)

The "other criminal activity" probably includes many horrible things. Not just a teen selling shrooms. So, I am not so sure that's really what we want.

OpenCamera is good, but could do better. But I'd say video editing is the biggest void.

Also, gesture typing keyboards are an empty niche of foss alternatives. HelioBoard requires loading some proprietary blob unfortunately.

I guess the most heavy machine learning use cases are not filled in.

Just yesterday I deployed it locally, and was about to migrate from my keepasDX (+syncthing)...

I assume this is an old laptop? If you're able to remove the battery, as in the old models, you can measure it's full milliamperes when at a 100%. It's probably going to show a lower value than what's reported by the user guides. From what you tell, I'd expect something as low as 1.5k... Beware that removing batteries with tools and so on might make them explode and is many times, just not an option.

Perhaps you can even see this in the BIOS. Some modern BIOS might even tell the number of charging cycles, allowing you to infer it's worn out. Chances are, you need a new battery. Which is tricky, since oftentime the "new" battery was sitting at some store but was manufactured by the company when the laptop model was fresh.

Oh, I didn't remember. Time to report my own post... Lol. Let's see if mods want to lock this thread then they can do it.

Don't forget the file indexing (baloo or ak-.. something), I had terrible experience with them in the past.

Europe has one of the most diverse seed industries in the world. In Germany, the Netherlands and France alone, hundreds of small breeders are creating new varieties of cereals, vegetables and legumes.

Relying on decades of careful selection to improve desired traits like yield, disease resistance and flavour, they adapt seeds to local environments through methods like cross-breeding.

This legion of plant breeders help maintain Europe’s biodiversity and ensure that our food supplies stay plentiful. But their work is under growing threat from the patent industry.

Although it’s illegal to patent plants in the EU, those created through technological means are classified as a technical innovation and so can be patented.

This means that small-scale breeders can no longer freely plant these seeds or use them for research purposes without paying licensing fees.
