ByQuyzzy··on Blink to generate power for smart contact lenses
Imagine hacking these and blowing up the tiny capacitors and blinding somebody for life.
ByQuyzzy··on Making old orchards new again
Ugh, disgusting. No more European cured pork products for me!
ByQuyzzy··on OpenBSD 7.5
After he chewed out Intel for making such shitty CPUs, he was unceremonsiously removed from his position and sent away for a full month of re-education at an undisclosed location. This was shortly after Spectre and Meltdown became public. Feel free to read more about it!
ByQuyzzy··on OpenBSD 7.5
Not since his vacation-style treatment.
ByQuyzzy··on OpenBSD 7.5
It means no meme filesystems will be tolerated. There are tons of operating systems out there if you don’t like ffs.
ByQuyzzy··on OpenBSD 7.5
Read the manual page, I’m not going to type it all in here.
ByQuyzzy··on OpenBSD 7.5
Do you know what Unix is or the C programming language? Your bafflement is entirely baffling. OpenBSD is never switching to Rust or Go or any of the new fad languages, so why not use libc? It’s the Unix way after all.
ByQuyzzy··on OpenBSD 7.5
The advantage of Theo being dictator is that big companies can’t take over like they did with Linux.
ByQuyzzy··on OpenBSD 7.5
They made their FFS 64-bit. That’s what you get. And FFS is THE standard.

In short no. Also they removed softupdates, code was old and slow and was holding back the quest to unlock.

ByQuyzzy··on Plex Asks GitHub to Take Down 'Reshare' Repository over Piracy Fears
People still use GitHub? LOL
ByQuyzzy··on Access to data isn't a grant to exploit it
This is grandstanding, there's no way to enforce how people or machines dispose with the data you put on the Internet. No enforcement mechanism, no chain of responsibility. It's literally FREE data. And this extends to photographs, drawings, music, code, prose, poetry, and all of the human generated content which IS being used by everybody from search engines (Google never asks permission) to AI companies, to cyber criminals and overreaching security theater weirdos in government. All of them can do whatever they like with whatever they find.

Don't like it? Don't put your data on the Internet, or use a mobile device near a conversation you'd rather keep private. No amount of regulation will ever stop any of this.

ByQuyzzy··on German state ditches Microsoft for Linux and LibreOffice
Google Docs is just flat out terrible. It's also highly insecure - imagine trusting an ad company with your governmental information.
ByQuyzzy··on Making old orchards new again
Nah, they reject insect food. Have you ever been physically forced to eat bugs? We can change that!
ByQuyzzy··on How should we define ‘open’ AI?
Well, it's not open source, it's not open to the public, they're not open with what they're doing or what their goals are. It's just a word like wuzzle or fibblefobble. Or google.
ByQuyzzy··on OnScreen: AI generated long form sci fi TV show
It's good AIslop is labeled for now, as if it's a novelty worth pursuing. But when this meaningless, demonic horror show takes over most entertainment, people will be less amused.

I for one do not look at AI-generated images, listen to AI-generated sounds or music, watch AI videos, and other than the various bots and shills online in forums like this, I do not interact with AI chat bots. Imagine filling your brain with generated garbage.

They'd die, just like people. Mammals in general can't digest chitin. There aren't any human populations that consume a significant amount of insect protien. It's just a trick to demoralize and humiliate the peasantry.

Bugs literally aren't even fit to be fed to pigs. But I'd enjoy force feeding somebody like you more than you could handle!

ByQuyzzy··on US court blocks EPA order to eliminate PFAS in plastic containers
Nice shill comment, persona. This is why you don't get to participate in the online communities I've mentioned. All the conspiracy theories are coming true, BTW, and The Ukraine is losing. 60% of Americans believe 2020 was rigged.
ByQuyzzy··on Google to delete records from Incognito tracking
I don't play the sauce game with reputation managers. And they haven't ended captcha.
ByQuyzzy··on US court blocks EPA order to eliminate PFAS in plastic containers
These days you have to be your own safety agency, from killer drugs, to cancer-causing chemicals, to the new plastic sprays they're putting onto the produce. It's all just hand waved by the agencies.

But it's always been this way. OTOH with the Internet people are creating communities and helping each other to avoid these poisons and dangers, instead of being isolated by the propaganda-infused normies who don't mind being poisoned at all.

ByQuyzzy··on Keeping your data from Apple is harder than expected
Heh, don't like some aspect of society, kiddo? Well you have no right to criticize it - you're IN a society!
ByQuyzzy··on Australian lab-grown meat cultured from quail cells hits the market in Singapore
What's this "we" stuff, you speak like we already have one world government and as if I'm responsible for providing food for people all over the globe. The future is regionalization, not more globalization. War is already killing globalism and it will intensify soon.
ByQuyzzy··on Microsoft posted on the FFMPEG tracker that their issue is 'high priority'
It's clear we must give control over personal projects that get too big for their britches to Microsoft and the NSA.
ByQuyzzy··on Study: AI writing, illustration emits hundreds of times less carbon than humans
We've encouraged a low fertility rate so that replacement migration can occur[1].

ByQuyzzy··on Google to delete records from Incognito tracking
Nah they’re to individually identify your unique computer.
ByQuyzzy··on Study: AI writing, illustration emits hundreds of times less carbon than humans
Is the goal to eliminate most humans? Think of how much less meat and gas we’d use if we just killed everybody and replaced them with efficient computers.
ByQuyzzy··on Google to delete records from Incognito tracking
I mean what I say. There is no reason for Cloudflare's browser checks outside of their desire to de-anonymize Tor users.
ByQuyzzy··on Google to delete records from Incognito tracking
I just use Tor Browser. It's kind of a pain with Cloudflare always trying to de-anonymize me but I figure, it's better than using the clearweb.
ByQuyzzy··on Taws – The Amiga Workbench
What's this? Fails on my browser (black display area).
ByQuyzzy··on NetBSD 10.0 Released
I think the DoD is still mad at Theo for pointing out how stupid the Iraq war was going to be.
ByQuyzzy··on Smart TV is snooping on you. How to limit the personal data it gathers
You don't need to connect it to the network for it to spy on you, Amazon Sidewalk provides the network.
