They’re already getting sued over ChatGPT helping people commit suicide. Imagine the uproar once the advice comes with ads for rope, knives, etc…

“Our deepest sympathies are with the Raine family for their unimaginable loss,” OpenAI said in its blog, while its filing acknowledged, “Adam Raine’s death is a tragedy.” But “at the same time,” it’s essential to consider all the available context, OpenAI’s filing said, including that OpenAI has a mission to build AI that “benefits all of humanity” and is supposedly a pioneer in chatbot safety.

How the fuck is OpenAI’s mission relevant to the case? Are suggesting that their mission is worth a few deaths?

You can use distrobox/distroshelf to set up a container with a regular distro and install packages in that instead of layering; if a package installs a GUI application you can export the application and it will show up in your applications menu.

Now they say only enable it if you understand the security implications, but eventually they’ll downplay the security implications and enable it by default.

Steam Deck Verified games should be fine, and a lot of non-Verified games were only downgraded to “Playable” because of issues that may not matter on a desktop, like small text (what’s small on a Steam Deck screen may not be small on a monitor) or needing to manually trigger the on-screen keyboard (a desktop is usually accompanied by a physical keyboard).

Maybe I’m just picky, but I think Mint replacing the standard Firefox icon should lower its place on the list of distros for people coming from Windows. Out of their preinstalled applications, Firefox is the one a Windows user is probably the most likely to be familiar with, and out-of-the-box they’ve got it pinned to the taskbar with an icon that a Windows user won’t recognize. There’s so many other distros where a Windows user can log in and clearly spot Firefox.

They have a pro version that adds AI features, no idea the pricing yet though.

The aricle says the AI stuff is tied to Canva’s Premium subscription, which is 120 USD/year:

Canva Premium subscribers will also be able to use AI-powered Canva editing tools like image generation, photo cleanup, and instant copy directly within the Affinity app.

Gizmodo’s article has more detail.

Grey’s Anatomy has had a couple of spinoffs (Private Practice, Station 19) so I’d say it counts as a franchise.

Maybe if the robots get damaged at the same rate their workers get injured they’ll get more interested in safety.

Their web page doesn’t really mention self-hosting, but there’s github link way down at the bottom and that has self-hosting instructions.

Google’s post also added that a few Privacy Sandbox technologies that have seen broad adoption would be retained.

"We will be continuing our work to improve privacy across Chrome, Android and the web, but moving away from the Privacy Sandbox branding,” a spokesperson was quoted as saying.

Seems like it’s not completely dead.

Mint was the default suggestion for people switching from Windows until a few days ago, and then Zorin popped up.

Feeling lonely? Enable Copilot and feel paranoid instead!

It’s just a one-off transfer, I’m not planning to stop the transfer, and it’s my media library, so nothing should change, but I figured something resumable is a good idea for a transfer that’s going to take 12+ hours, in case there’s an unplanned stop.

I was planning to use rsync to ship several TB of stuff from my old NAS to my new one soon. Since we’re already talking about rsync, I guess I may as well ask if this is right way to go?

You can disable that

• On the Xbox home screen, go to “My Games and Apps.”
• Then, go to “Apps,” “Settings,” “General,” and “Personalization.”
• Go to “Games and Apps,” then scroll to the right until the three boxes below “Choose whether game hubs open automatically from the following places.”
• Uncheck the boxes on all three options: “Recently Played List,” “Groups,” and “Installed Games.”–

Including Fortnite Crew in Game Pass Ultimate is a terrible justification for the 50% price increase. How many people who play Fortnite enough for Crew to be useful also play other games enough for Game Pass Ultimate to be worthwhile?

When was the last time you checked? A client was added to the WebOS store maybe 2 or 3 years ago for recent models, and support for older models (like my C9) came months later.

Since people don’t seem to realize that vim has a help system: You can get to this information with :help quit or :help exit
